Abstract:Low velocity impact response and failure behavior of L-shaped composite laminates were investigated. The composite laminates with variable thickness, stacking sequences, and corner radius were manufactured using autoclave manufacturing method. Tests were conducted on a custom low velocity impact test setup. In order to investigate and quantify the internal damage of the samples, x-ray micro-computed tomography technique was used. The results showed that the deflection of cross-ply samples was higher than the u… Show more
