A numerical study of damage mechanisms in the CAI of laminated composites for aerospace applications

Compression after impact (CAI) is one of the crucial factors affecting material selection and determination of allowable design values in aircraft design process for fibre reinforced composite laminates. The major objectives of this thesis are to investigate the damage mechanismof CAI and to obtain...
