Description
Summary:The aim of this paper is to present the influence of high and low temperatures on the impact properties glass-epoxy composites. The impact strength an is presented for four different glass-epoxy composite structures at three different temperatures, i.e., at room temperature t=20°C, at an elevated temperature t=+50°C and at a low temperature t=-50°C. Standard mechanical testing was carried out on the composite materials with specific masses of reinforcement of 210 g m-2 and 550 g m-2 and orientations 0°/90° and ±45°. Micromechanical analysis of the failure was performed in order to determine real models and mechanisms of crack and temperature influence on the impact properties. .
