Dynamic response of orthogonal 3D woven carbon composites under soft impact

This paper presents an experimental and numerical investigation into the dynamic response of 3D orthogonal woven carbon composites undergoing soft impact. Composite beams of two different fibre architectures, varying only by the density of through-thickness reinforcement, were centrally impacted by...
