Impact response and post-impact compression behavior of two-dimensional triaxially braided carbon fiber composites by SUN Yang, HUANG Jian, ZHAO Zhenqiang, ZHOU Haili, LI Chao, ZHANG Liquan, ZHANG Chao

“…It is shown that the damaged area of the two-dimensional triaxially braided composite increases proportionally with the low velocity impact energy， but the energy absorption increases almost 2 times. Severe damage occurs and extends along the axial fiber under impact with an energy of 6.7 J/mm， leading to a significant reduction in its residual strength. …”
