Status Quo of Research on Impact Damage of Composites in Aircraft

Abstract:

The application of composites in aircraft was introduced. And compare composites with metal materials. The conclusions referring to the impact test on composite laminates and impact damage characteristics of composite laminates, were summarized by referring to a large number of literature. This investigation shows: composite material is more suitable for the preparation of the overall structure; the research of impact damage test on composites mainly concentrated in the layer order; layer direction and low-energy impact test; and there are clear division and judgment method of four kinds of damage body by studying characteristics of impact damage.Keyword: aircraft; composites; impact damage
