Abstract This manuscript presents the projectile impact behavior of hybrid jute/epoxy composite laminates using an instrumented air gun impact setup with the projectile moving in the vertical direction. An approach based on the stiffness change is used to predict the projectile impact response of hybrid jute epoxy-filled laminates impacted with a stainless-steel projectile. The experimental validation of the parameters like dynamic hardness (Hd) coefficient of restitution (COR), natural frequency, damping factor, and loss factor was used to analyze the impact behavior of jute/epoxy composites strengthened with fillers ZrO2, ZnO, and TiO2. The free vibration tests of the More >
