Controlled impact tests on composite materials : damage development and energy analysis
In addition to their many advantages, one of the disadvantages of composite materials is that they can have low impact resistance due to their brittle nature. Recently there has been growing interest in the use of shape memory alloys (SMAs) to reinforce composites subjected to impact.
