Energy absorption and bending stiffness in CFRP laminates : the effect of 45º plies
(2008-07)
The impact characteristics of cross-ply and angle-ply composite laminates were investigated, with an instrumented impact drop tester by performing gravity-assisted drop tests on [0/90]6s and [0/45/90]4s laminates. The ...
An experimental study of damage accumulation in balanced CFRP laminates due to repeated impact
(2008-05)
The behaviour of balanced laminates (symmetric, antisymmetric and asymmetric) under repeated low energy hits of a 12.1 mm hemispheric impactor was evaluated. The resistance to the impulsive force was found to be influenced ...
