The aim of this work is to investigate the potential offered by a
natural fibre composite for applications that require a superior
resistance to impact and other forms of dynamic loading. To achieve
this, the post-impact behaviour of a jute/polyester laminate has
been compared to that offered by two types of glass/polyester
laminates. Acoustic emission and thermoelastic stress analysis
techniques have been used to investigate damage in these materials.
A methodology, involving the combined use of different real-time
monitoring techniques and tests for evaluating the residual
properties of the composites, has been shown to be useful for
characterising the global post-impact behaviour of these materials
during post-impact tensile, flexural and static indentation tests.
The damage introduced by impact loading and post-impact indentation
was then elucidated using optical microscopy techniques.
