Study on interlock 3X damage mechanisms under impact loading using a deformable impactor

Analyzing damage mechanisms when a deformable impactor is impacting a reinforced 3D woven composite is aimed in this work. Low energy impact are considered in this soft shock situation using a drop test tower. Materials involved in this study are hemispherical elastomer impactors and carbon fiber...
