RT Conference Proceedings T1 Modeling high-speed impact on CFRP's with an energy balance equation A1 López Puente, Jorge A1 Varas Doval, David A1 Loya Lorenzo, José Antonio A1 Navarro Ugena, Carlos A1 Zaera, Ramón AB In this work an analytical model has been developed in order to predict the residual velocity of a spherical or cylindrical steel projectile, after impacting into a woven carbon/epoxy thin laminate. The model is based in an energy balance, in which the kinetic projectile energy is absorbed by the laminate through three different mechanisms: linear momentum transfer, fiber failure and laminate crushing. This last mechanism needs the quantification of the through-thickness compressive strength, which has been evaluated by means of quasi-static punch tests. Finally, high velocity impact tests have been accomplished in a wide range of velocities, to validate the model.
