Abstract
Low velocity impact induced non-penetration damage in pultruded glass fibre reinforced polyester (GRP) composite materials was investigated using an instrumented falling weight impact test machine with a chisel shaped impactor. The characteristics of the impact event, force/time and force/deflection traces were determined. The internal damage was visualised and quantified by Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) in terms of the...
