Carbon Fibre Composite Coupons - Static and Fatigue Behaviour After Impact Damage,

Abstract

This report describes some results for an experimental program involving the determination of static and fatigue properties of relatively thick (3 to 7 mm) carbon fibre composite laminates which had been subjected to various levels of impact damage. The development of suitable compression testing procedures is described, as is the use of shadow Moire interference techniques for monitoring the development of delamination damage during fatigue tests.
