Damage to a Multilayer Woven Composite by Low-Velocity Indentation with a Rigid Spherical Indenter

Аннотация

The results of experimental studies of damage to a layer of a woven composite by pressing steel spherical indenters are presented. The effect of the indenter-curvature radius on the structure of the localdamage area of the composite and the effect of the local damage on the strength of initially equistrength composites under tension along the principal directions of layer reinforcement are determined.
