Damage initiation in composite materials under off-centre impact loading

The effect of off-centre impact loading on damage initiation in a woven glass fibre reinforced epoxy resin was studied experimentally. Low velocity impact tests were conducted, in which the incident impact energy was increased until damage was observed in the laminates. It was shown that multiple im...
