💡Using a novel hole-drilling and interferometry approach, researchers have successfully quantified residual stresses in carbon fiber plates for impacts up to 75 J. They discovered significant stress gradients across the plate's thickness, showing that compressive stresses at the impact center become tensile on the opposite side.
These unprecedented insights are crucial for creating better methodologies to assess residual strength in aerospace composites.
