Abstract

The rapid increase in the use of composite materials within structural components has stimulated a significant amount of research in understanding the mechanics of the composite, as well as the ability to predict failure under a range of loading conditions. This includes impact, which can generate a considerable amount of damage in the composite. Low Velocity Impact (LVI) is one of the most critical load factors for composite laminates, incurring internal damage which could not be detected using the naked eye. This is particularly dangerous, since damage such as delamination may be present in the composite, which could seriously reduce the integrity of the structure. This chapter presents a review of the LVI testing, post-impact analysis and its subsequent response in Compression After Impact (CAI).
