The effect of stacking sequence on impact resistance and damage tolerance in non-crimp carbon fabric composites

Abstract

This project aims to better understand the influence of stacking sequence on the non-crimp carbon fabric composite laminates under low velocity impact and post impact loading. It is also intended to reveal the relationship between the damage characteristics in terms of dent depth, damage length and width and damage tolerance
