Compression After Impact Experiments and Analysis on Honeycomb Core Sandwich Panels with Thin Facesheets

A better understanding of the effect of impact damage on composite structures is necessary to give the engineer an ability to design safe, efficient structures. Current composite structures suffer severe strength reduction under compressive loading conditions, due to even light damage, such as from...
