Abstract
The influence of low temperature on the damage produced on CFRPs by intermediate and high velocity impacts is analyzed. Spherical projectiles were launched against different carbon fiber/epoxy laminates (tape and woven). Experimental tests were done at temperatures ranging from 25 to −150 °C. The extension of the damage was measured by C-Scan. Results show a clear dependence of damage on temperature, impact velocity and the type of the laminate.
