Carbon fiber reinforced composite sandwich panels with polyvinyl chloride (PVC) foam core are subjected to low-velocity impact at extreme low temperatures, representative of the harsh arctic environmental condition. Force-time history curves evidently show that test temperature has a significant influence on the impact damage behavior. Specimens impacted at extreme low temperature (−70 °C) exhibit less strength, and higher susceptibility to damage, resulting in severe penetration by the impactor. X-ray micro-computed tomography technique is employed to reveal multiple complex impact damage modes. Specifically, results from this work elucidate arctic temperature influence on detrimental failure mechanisms: large facesheet-core debonding, extensive composite facesheet delamination, significant core shearing and crushing, and severe facesheet fiber fracture. This work provides an important fundamental knowledge for future design of naval composite sandwich structures with enhanced impact performance at low temperature arctic condition.}, journal={Composite Structures}, author={Elamin, M. and Li, B. and Tan, K.T.}, year={2018}, pages={422–433} } @article{khan_elamin_li_tan_2018, title={X-ray micro-computed tomography analysis of impact damage morphology in composite sandwich structures due to cold temperature arctic condition}, volume={52}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85049876701&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, DOI={10.1177/0021998318785671}, abstractNote={ In this study, X-ray micro-computed tomography is employed to characterize the impact damage mechanisms in foam core sandwiched composites, paying particular attention to the influence of extreme low temperature effects. Investigation on impact response reveals that more energy absorption with lower impact damage force occurs at lower temperature. Results evidently show that test temperature has a significant influence on the impact damage behavior. Post-mortem inspection portrays clear relationships between damages in both foam core and carbon fiber reinforced polymer facesheets, as well as exposed test temperature. Specimens impacted at extreme low temperature (−70℃) exhibit less strength, and higher susceptibility to damage, verified by severer penetration of the impactor. Micro-computed tomography is exploited to examine cross-sectional views of the impacted specimens, showing detailed damage mechanisms of the carbon fiber-reinforced polymer facesheets and the foam core, thereby evidently revealing multiple complex impact damage modes such as fiber breakage, delamination, core shearing and crushing, facesheet-core debonding, which are all strongly influenced by arctic low temperature. The findings of this work will lead to improved design for advanced composite structures with enhanced impact resistance and damage tolerance in extreme cold environment particularly in the arctic region. }, number={25}, journal={Journal of Composite Materials}, author={Khan, M.H. and Elamin, M. and Li, B. and Tan, K.T.}, year={2018}, pages={3509–3522} } @inproceedings{elamin_li_tan_2017, title={Effect of low temperature on impact behavior of composite sandwich structures}, volume={2017-August}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85053168143&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, booktitle={ICCM International Conferences on Composite Materials}, author={Elamin, M. and Li, B. and Tan, K.T.}, year={2017} } @inproceedings{tan_elamin_li_2017, title={Impact performance and damage behavior of composite sandwich structures In arctic condition}, volume={2}, url={http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-85047767450&partnerID=MN8TOARS}, booktitle={32nd Technical Conference of the American Society for Composites 2017}, author={Tan, K.T. and Elamin, M. and Li, B.}, year={2017}, pages={1309–1314} }
