An experimental investigation into the effect of impact damage on the compressive strength of step lap joints

This paper examines the effect of impact damage at composite to metal joints. Attention is focused on the residual compressive strength of the joint. Various impact energies are considered. The experimental results indicate that as the extent of the damage is increased a stage is reached after which...

Summary:This paper examines the effect of impact damage at composite to metal joints. Attention is focused on the residual compressive strength of the joint. Various impact energies are considered. The experimental results indicate that as the extent of the damage is increased a stage is reached after which a further significant increase in damage size does not result in a further significant decrease in residual strength.
