Abstract:Many studies were directed toward understanding damage patterns in composite
laminates and determining the damage development sequence upon high velocity impact. Damage accumulation depends on projectile velocity and on a number of other
parameters, so that it is not possible to set strict limits between the different regimes.
However, experiments show that, for a given set of experimental conditions where the
impact speed is the only variable, there is a certain threshold velocity below which no
