Energy absorption and damage characterization of GFRP laminated and PVC-foam sandwich composites under repeated impacts with reduced energies and quasi-static indentation

During service conditions, composite materials used in naval applications are subjected to repeated impact, the resultant damage can seriously affect their mechanical performance. Therefore, the knowledge of impact energy absorption is important to improve the impact damage tolerance of those materi...
