Indentation depth in a laminate
Indentation depth in a laminate
(OP)
Hi all,
Does anyone know a procedure to calculate the indentation depth of a laminate if a rigid sphere is traveling with a certain energy on the laminate?
For example: A quadratic laminate made up of 12 layers [0/90]s and a steel ball is thrown at the laminate. How large will the indentation depth then be?

Get a laminate, drop a hemispherical tup on it, measure the dent with a dial indicator.

I would still have to agree with the previous responses that it may be easier to test it emperically, rather than try to gather all the needed material properties.

Do a literature search in the "Journal of Composite Materials".

This is the first post I read this morning and now it's got me going on this thought experiment,
