ABSTRACTThe present paper investigates the low‐velocity impact behaviour and the compression‐after‐impact (CAI) behaviour of carbon‐fibre reinforced‐plastic (CFRP) composite panels after two impacts in different locations on a test coupon. The effect of changing the separation distance between the two impacts, as well as changing the impact energy, is ...

Improvement of low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact performance by z-fibre pinning [PDF]
Abstract Z-fibre® pinning is a new method of through-thickness reinforcement of laminated composites. This paper presents an experimental test and theoretical analysis on how and why these pins can improve the resistance to impact loading and post-impact compression.
