摘要
This research studied the effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the internal and external damages of foam-core sandwich panels with kevlar fiber reinforced epoxy face sheets subjected to a low-velocity impact. The sandwich panels were subjected to six levels of energy. Energy profile diagrams (EPDs) were plotted to determine the rebounding, penetration and perforation thresholds of the sandwich panels. Non-destructive evaluation methods have been employed for detecting and measuring damage size of the sandwich panels using X-ray radiography and active infrared thermography. The results show that MWCNTs can improve the absorbed energy and penetration threshold of the foam-core sandwich panels. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
