Progressive failure analysis for impact damage and compressive strength of composite laminates

It is well known that the compressive strength of composite laminates decreases after impact load, even if the impact damage is barely visible in appearance. This compression after impact (CAI) strength is one of the most important design criteria for composite structures. Currently, in order to red...
