Composite mechanical characteristics can be heavily influenced by impact damages; however, this influence can be reduced by choosing a correct stacking sequence and constituents materials. In this paper, the influence of metal layer placement within the stacking sequence of a carbon/epoxy laminate on impact resistance was studied. Impacts were simulated by means of Quasi Static Indentation tests.

Abstract
Composite mechanical characteristics can be heavily influenced by impact damages; however, this influence can be reduced by choosing a correct stacking sequence and constituents materials. In this paper, the influence of metal layer placement within the stacking sequence of a carbon/epoxy laminate on impact resistance was studied. Impacts were simulated by means of Quasi Static Indentation tests.File in questo prodotto:
