Experimental and numerical investigations on the impact behaviour of pristine and patch-repaired composite laminates (2022)
Journal Article
Liu, H., Brooks, R. A., Hall, Z. E., Liu, J., Crocker, J. W., Joesbury, A. M., …Dear, J. P. (2022). Experimental and numerical investigations on the impact behaviour of pristine and patch-repaired composite laminates. Philosophical Transactions A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 380(2232), Article 20210340. https://doi.org/10.1098/rsta.2021.0340

The present paper investigates the impact behaviour of both pristine carbon-fibre-reinforced-plastic (CFRP) composite laminates and repaired CFRP laminates. For the patch-repaired CFRP specimen, the pristine CFRP panel specimen has been damaged by cu...

The effectiveness of patch repairs to restore the impact properties of carbon-fibre reinforced-plastic composites (2022)
Journal Article

The present paper studies the low-velocity impact testing of carbon-fibre reinforced-plastic (CFRP) pristine and patch-repair CFRP panels. Firstly, the effect of repeated impacts on the pristine CFRP damage growth is considered at impact energies of...
