The energy absorption of damaged braided and non-crimp fibre composite material structures
The effects of pre-existing damage on the mode of failure and energy absorption characteristics of Non-Crimp Fabric (NCF) and biaxially braided tubular sections under axial loading were considered. Loading rate effects were incorporated by testing at quasi-static rates and impact rates up to 7ms-1 a...
