An innovative experimental device for ice impac onto composite panel
Abstract
The work presented here aims at developing an experimental protocol based firstly on the Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method (with stereo-vision) to analyse the exact impact point and deliver full field measurements (strains and displacement) over the specimen area; and secondly on improved boundary conditions that makes it possible a structural accommodation during the impact instead of the usual rigid embedding. Impact experiments are performed on composite stiffened panels in Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRPs) using a gas gun and hail projectiles taken from homogenous ice blocks. One should note that ice specimens were produced in collaboration with a laboratory specialised in the elaboration of such specific materials.
