A New Approach toward Understanding Damage Mechanisms and Mechanics of Laminated Composites Due to Low-Velocity Impact: Part II—Analysis:

摘要: An investigation comprised of experiments and analysis was performed to study impact damage in laminated composites caused by low-velocity impact. The major objective the fundamentally understand failure mechanisms mechanics fiber-reinforced resulting from identify essential parameters governing damage. Matrix cracks delaminations were primary concern study.This paper emphasizes experimental work study. A unique special air-pressed tester designed built for investigation. characteristics design a rectangular barrel based impactor rather than small circular spherical ball, which are commonly adopted This new allows user control patterns appropriately selecting different shapes sizes noses mounted base impactor.In this study, line-nosed i...
