The response of laminated composite plates under low-velocity impact loading

This paper is concerned with evaluation of the in-plane dimensional effect of fiber-reinforced laminated composites under low-velocity impact. (0/90/0/90)s oriented cross-ply E-glass/epoxy laminates studied were manufactured and all of the material parameters of laminated composite materials were measured experimentally. The impact testing was conducted with a specially developed vertical drop-weight testing machine. Impact tests were performed...
