Study of impact properties of materials by instrumented impact testing by Zheng, Qi.

“…Impact toughness improvement arising from delaminations has been studied by some researchers. However, the previous investigations were limited in scope because the impact testing was non-instrumented and the specimens used contained weak interfaces made artificially either by soldering thin mild steel plates together or by laminating high-strength titanium alloys and maraging steels. …”
