Abstract

This article presents an experimental study on the torsional behavior of composite tubes subjected to impact loadings. Four types of composite tubes with the winding angle of 30°, 45°, 60°, and 75° ([±30]FW, [±45]FW, [±60]FW, and [±75]FW) were produced with the filament winding method. Besides, a [0,90]PP composite tube was manufactured with the prepreg wrapping technique. After the composite tubes were impacted at 2.5 J, 5.0 J, and 7.5 J, non-impacted and impacted composite tubes were tested under torsional loading. Contact force–deformation curves of impacted tubes are presented. Torsional moment–twist angle relations for both impacted and non-impacted composite tubes were obtained. In addition, front view and side view of the impacted zone of composite tubes are given. The results showed that sample [±60]FW had the best impact performance with regard to absorbed energy. The impacted samples of [±60]FW and [±75]FW had the lowest torsional strength for each energy level.
