Experimental Investigation of Impactor Diameter Effect on Low-Velocity Impact Response of CFRP Laminates in a Drop-Weight Impact Event

The present study delved into the effect of impactor diameter on low velocity impact response and damage characteristics of CFRP. Moreover, the phased array ultrasonic technique (PAUT) was adopted to identify the impact damages based on double-sided scanning. Low-velocity impact tests were carried o...
