Characterisation and modelling of impact damage in bonded joints of woven fibre polymeric composites

Bonded joints are key structural elements and for parts made from fibre reinforced polymeric matrix composites (FRC), these are preferred over mechanical fasteners such as rivets and bolts. Low velocity impact loading of structures is frequently encountered both in-service and during maintenance and...
