A comparative study was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using quasi-static indentation for characterizing the dynamic behavior of CFRP laminated composites subjected to free edge-on impact, focusing on both damage resistance and tolerance. Inspection methods, including ultrasonic C-scanning...
