TI  - An Assessment of the Impact Performance of CFRP Reinforced with High-strain Carbon Fibres
N2  - Carbon fibre composites containing Hercules AS4 high-strain carbon fibres in 3501.6 epoxy resin were subjected to low velocity impact. Damage development was assessed by means of ultrasonic C-scanning, optical microscopy and penetrant-enhanced X-radiography. Coupons were cut from sixteen-ply (0 °, +_ 45 °)panels, damaged by drop weight impact, and residual tensile and compressive strengths were measured. Damage size was significantly less than that observed in CFRP reinforced with standard high-strain carbon fibres. This resulted in an improvement of up to 100
