Abstract

The aim of this experimental study is to investigate impact behaviors of thecomposite single-lap adhesive joints. The increasing impact energies, which areranged from approximately 5 J to 30 J, are performed at the center of thecomposite plates having three different overlap lengths. It is shown that theoverlap lengths and impact energy levels affect considerably the impactresponses of the composite single lap joints. It is also shown that the bendingstiffness of the composite increases by increase in the overlap length. Anenergy profiling method (EPM) is used to identify the penetration andperforation thresholds of composite lap joints. The damaged composite plates arevisually inspected.
