Abstract

An experimental identification method of impact force acting on CFRP laminated plates is presented. The experimental relation between force histories and strain responses is first determined by using measured force histories and the corresponding strain responses at the discrete points. By employing this relation, the location and history of impact force is identified using measured strain responses based on the mathematical programming method. The validity of the present identification method has been verified through the impact experiment of cantilevered CFRP laminated plates. The method can also be applied to the impact force identification in CFRP laminated plates involving impact damages under a drop-weight impact test.
