Damage characterization of carbon/epoxy laminates using compression-after-impact (CAI) and ultrasonic NDE [PDF]
, 2012 A study of impact damage morphology in unidirectional carbon/epoxy laminates was performed. A “load drop” method was investigated for prediction of the delamination threshold energy (EDT) for impact.
