Vol. 2 No. 2 (2016): ANALISIS EKSPERIMENTAL KERUSAKAN PANEL FIBERGLASS REINFORCED POLYESTER AKIBAT IMPAK KECEPATAN TINGGI

In this experiment, composite panel of fiberglass reinforced polyester was tested. There were three testing procedures, namely ballistic test, tensile test, and bending test. Ballistic test was administered by firing 9 mm bullet using FN 46 pistol. The firing was taken from a distance of 5 meters long to hanged specimen. After endured the ballistic test, the same specimen will be subjected to tensile test and bending test. The aim of these tests was to analyze material condition of the specimen after ballistic test. These series of tests aimed to find out the damage of fiberglass reinforced polyester composite panel caused by high-velocity impact.
