Damage and strain rate optical characterisation of standard and tufted non crimp fabric carbon composites for meso-scale impact models

As global warming is a prime concern to the wellbeing of the planet, lighter planes are a requirement to reduce CO2 emissions. Light structures made of carbon epoxy composite materials are of particular interest but are sensitive to impacts such as hail or bird strikes. Static and dynamic testing of...
