This book discusses the impact of different range of velocities
(low, high, ballistic and hyper-velocity impact) on composites.
Presented through experimental and numerical analysis, the book
goes beyond impact event analysis and also covers the after-impact
phenomena, including flexural and compression and damage analysis
