X-ray tomography investigation of the impact damage mechanisms of thin-ply composites and the use of veils to improve their impact tolerance 

García Rodríguez, Santiago (Date of defense: 2019-06-28)

This thesis investigates the impact response of novel laminates made with “thin-plies” as well as proposes a toughening method to improve their impact tolerance. To this purpose, we devised a wide experimental campaign ...
