In this study, the composition and mechanical properties of composites designed for shipbuilding are described. Four different composites were designed and fabricated by the research team, using quadriaxial glass fiber fabric (eight layers in all composites), two different resins (the epoxy resin SikaBiresin CR82 with the hardener CH80-2 or the polyester resin Enydyne H 68372 TA with Metox-50 W as the accelerator), and a middle layer of Coremat Xi 3 (only applied in some composites). The experimental results of low-velocity impact tests are also discussed, including the graphics force (displacement) and absorbed energy (displacement and velocity).

This paper presents experimental results from three-point bending tests for a composite made of quadriaxial glass fiber fabrics and an epoxy resin. Two composites were tested, one with 8 layers and the other with 16 layers; both had the same matrix (the epoxy resin). Tests were carried out, using five different test rates from 10 mm/min to 1000 mm/min.
