... about the compression after impact and fatigue behavior of CFRP fuselage stiffened panels, which represent the most realistic loading scenario of composite aerostructures, and describes an integrated experimental procedure for obtaining such information. Professor Konstantinos Tserpes can...

... during the failure of the impacted composite laminates when subjected to compression. Design/methodology/approach – A series of compression-after-impact (CAI) tests was performed on composite plates 150×100×4 mm3 made of a carbon-fibre-reinforced epoxy resin matrix. A digital image correlation...
