Abstract Understanding the response of composite materials to dynamic loading is necessary for their safe and efficient application to many of the world’s engineering designs where stiffness-to-weight ratios are vitally important. In this study, fringe projection was used and evaluated as means to measure the out-of-plane displacement of composite materials from impact loading involving a projectile accelerated horizontally through the use of gas. The capability of providing out-ofplane deformation measurements can largely enrich the investigation of composite materials under horizontal impact which are commonly performed without any measurement other than projectile velocity. The out-of-plane displacement history was subsequently used in an… More >
