Predicting impact induced delaminations in composite plates
Abstract
A method is presented which can be used to estimate the dimensions of delaminations in fiber reinforced composite plates impacted by a solid object. The impact occurs at low velocity such that the impactor does not penetrate the surface of the plate. Comparisons between measured and calculated delamination lengths and widths are given. The use of the method in the design of impact resistant plates is discussed.
