Investigation of the response to low velocity impact and quasi-static indentation loading of particle-toughened carbon-fibre composite materials

This work investigates damage caused by low velocity impact and quasi-static indentation loading in four different particle-toughened composite systems, and one untoughened system. For impact tests, a range of energies were used between 25 and 50 J. For QSI, coupons were interrupted at increasing lo...
