Abstract
This work analyses the behaviour of carbon/epoxy unidirectional laminates
subjected to high velocity impacts of ice spheres. To this end, ice projec-
tiles were launched against composite laminates in a wide range of velocities
(50 -250 m/s). Two different ice diameters (40 and 50 mm) and two laminate
thicknesses (4 and 6 mm) were considered. The internal damage was measured
using both destructive and non-destructive techniques, which allow an accurate
quanti cation of the delaminated area. Finally the in
uence of the different
parameters considered on the damage of the laminate is analysed by means of
a dimensionless variable.
