High-Velocity Impact Behaviour of Prestressed Composite Plates under Bird Strike Loading

An experimental and numerical analysis of the response of laminated composite plates under high-velocity impact loads of soft body gelatine projectiles (artificial birds) is presented. The plates are exposed to tensile and compressive preloads before impact in order to cover realistic loading condit...
