Hypervelocity Impact Damage in Composite Materials Fabricated by Filament Winding

Abstract eng:
This paper investigates the behavior of composite materials fabricated by filament winding when subjected to hypervelocity impacts (HVI) by orbital debris. Conducted experiments allowed obtaining the evidence of significant dependence of the HVI damage in the filamentwound composites from the following parameters: impactor energy, pre-loading and degree of interweaving of filament bands. Findings of the study may be useful for the design of spacecraft components fabricated by filament winding, e.g. composite overwrapped pressure vessels.
