Composites are used extensively in engineering applications. A
constant concern is the effect of foreign object impacts on
composite structures because significant damage can occur and yet
be undetectable by visual inspection. Such impacts can range from
the most ordinary at low velocity - a tool dropped on a product -
to the hypervelocity impact of space debris on a spacecraft. This
book explains how damage develops during impact, the effect of
impact-induced damage on the mechanical behavior of structures, and
methods of damage prediction and detection. Numerous examples are
included to illustrate these topics. Written for graduate students,
as well as researchers and practising engineers working with
composite materials, this book presents state-of-the-art knowledge
on impact dynamics while requiring only basic understanding of the
mechanics of composite materials.
