Links between Low Velocity Impact Results and the Residual Mechanical Performance of Sandwich Composite Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper presents results obtained during low velocity impact tests, performed on sandwich materials of different types. The common force history curves are discussed along with the visual inspections, in order to asses, in a first stage, the structural integrity of the materials subjected to this aggressive and hazardous event.
