Summary of Impact Work Fatigue and Fracture Branch,

Abstract

Objectives of this report are: To establish, through slow transverse loading, the energy capabilities of various composites; To develop a simple analytic method to predict progressive impact damage in quasi-isotropic composite laminates; To determine the effect of deliberately fabricated partial bonding on the impact resistance of composite laminates under prestrain, and To predict the residual tensile strength of impacted laminates.
