Abstract

In this study, a high impact resistant multi-layered composite consisting of continuous carbon fibre/nylon (CCF) and short carbon fibre/nylon (SCF) layers is developed via 3D printing technology. The effect of CCF/SCF layers configuration on the impact resistance is investigated by low-velocity impact test, and the impact failure mechanism of the 3D printed composites is explored by microscopic observations and finite element (FE) simulation analysis. The results show that the 3D printed multi-layered composite with SCF layers distributed in the middle (HFA) exhibits higher impact resistant performance than the specimens with alternating SCF/CCF layers (HFB) and CCF layers distributed in the middle (HFC). The effect of CCF/SCF layers proportion on the impact performance is also studied by FE simulation, and the results show that the specimen with a CCF/SCF proportion of 7.0 exhibits the highest impact strength.
