The principal aim of this paper is to present a comprehensive literature survey on the
defects, like debonds/delamination in composite joints/structures, focusing on the effect of …

Abstract Compression After Impact (CAI) strength is critical to the safety and weight of carbon
fibre aircraft. In this paper, the standard aerospace industry practice of using separate …

The quest for impact damage tolerant laminates by tailoring stacking sequences has led to
nonconventional laminates whose ply sequences are not limited to 0,±45 and 90° …

Accounting for damage tolerance (DT) is crucial during the design process of aerospace
composite structures. Typically, a DT design allowable limits the permitted strain level …

Abstract Synchrotron Radiation Computed Tomography (SRCT) and Synchrotron Radiation
Computed Laminography (SRCL) permit 3D non-destructive evaluation of fracture micro …

This paper proposed a method for predicting composite laminates' compressive residual
strength after impact based on convolutional neural networks. Laminates made by …

This work relates to the investigation of indentation induced damage resistance in glass fiber
reinforced polymer composite laminates under normal and inclined planes. Uni-directional …

Composite structures are particularly vulnerable to impact which lowers drastically theirs
residual strength. In particular, the edge impact on composite stiffener is known as a critical …

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate the contribution of fiber bridging to the energy
release rate of a fracture resistance curve. Fiber bridging occurs when testing beam‐type …

The influence of impact energy and stacking sequence on the damage resistance and
Compression After Impact (CAI) strength of Carbon and Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastic …
