Impact Strength and Toughness of Fiber Composite Materials.

Abstract

The impact properties of laminated composites have been studied as a function of fiber orientation angle, lamination configuration and specimen geometry. The energy absorbing mechanisms have been identified. The damage done to the laminates after single and repeated impacts has been evaluated by residual strength and modulus measurements as well as vibration response measurements.
