Compression after impact of thin composite laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, the damage tolerance of various lay-ups of thin carbon/epoxy laminates (1.6-2.2 mm) is examined by compression after impact (CAI) tests, using a new testing device which adapts to the thicknesses of the specimens and does not require tabs nor any modification of the specimen geometry.
