Damage Tolerance of Composite Laminates from an Empirical Perspective

The NASA Technical Reports Servcr (NTRS) houses half a million publications that are a valuable means of information to researchers, teachers, students, and the general public. These documents are all aerospace related with much scientific and technical information created or funded by NASA. Some types of documents include conference papers, research reports, meeting papers, journal articles and more. This is one of those documents.

This slide presentation reviews the damage tolerance for composite laminates. It includes information surrounding observations on impact testing, laminate damage threshold, and fatigue.
