Analysis of the effect of impact damage on the strength characteristics of a composite

Theoretical and experimental investigations into the loss of the static tensile strength of a KMKU-2M.120. E01 composite after low-speed impacts of different energy have been carried out. All calculations are performed by the method of finite elements. The drop in the strength as a function of impact energy is estimated according to two criteria: the criterion of an equivalent hole (the upper limit of loss of strength) and the criterion of...
