Paolo Feraboli,Keith T. Kedward +1 more
TLDR
In this article, the impact performance assessment program (CSIPAP) suggests a multi-parameter methodology to gain further insight in the impact behavior of composite structures, including peak and critical force; critical and dissipated energy; contact duration and coefficient of restitution (COR), which is direct indication of effective structural stiffness; and residual stiffness (normalized contact duration) which yields a plot that bears a striking resemblance with the normalized Compression After Impact (CAI) strength.About:
