Experimental and numerical investigations on the impact behaviour of pristine and patch-repaired composite laminates (2022)
Journal Article

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...
