On the phenomenon of impact

Aerostructures such as plates are commonly used in aircraft structures due to their advantageous weight to stiffness ratio. Plates are susceptible to lateral forces that occur during impact. Such impact events are caused by falling tools, bird strikes, collisions of objects, and more. Several resear...
