Effect of stacking sequence on Charpy impact and flexural damage behavior of composite laminates

The objective of this work is the characterization and the assessment of the damage in CFRP composite laminates with different stacking sequences subjected to low velocity impact and flexural loading. Charpy impact test and three-point bending test were used in order to obtained the impact response and flexural behavior of different laminates. An experimental test series was carried out to determine impact energy absorption, flexural strength...
