The effects of tensile preloads on the impact response of carbon/epoxy laminates

Low velocity drop weight impact tests were conducted on carbon/epoxy laminates under various magnitudes of uniform tensile stress. The composite plates were 8 ply (+45,0,- 45,90)<sub>s</sub> laminates supported in a clamped-clamped/free-free configuration. Tensile preloads from near zero...
