  Abstract

This paper focuses on the experimental investigation of glass-fiber-reinforced epoxy (GF/epoxy) composites embedded with shape memory alloy wires subjected to low-velocity impact loading at variable temperatures. The specimens manufactured by vacuum assisted resin infusion processing were tested at a temperature range of -50 oC to 60 oC under several impact energy levels (10, 15 and 20 J). The comparison curves of the impact parameters of both composites under different energy levels affected by temperature were given. The results show that the low-velocity impact behaviors of both composites increase with the decreasing of temperature. Compare with GF/epoxy composites, the impact resistance of SMAHC was improved most obviously at 25 oC. At this temperature, the maximum contact force of SMAHC is increased by 5.92 %, the displacement is decreased by 34.74 % and the energy is increased by 24.87 % at impact level 20 J. The failure modes of the SMAHC were revealed.
