The low velocity impact behaviour of a woven carbon fibre/epoxy composite has been analysed in this work. The study has been divided in two experimental phases performed in a drop-weight machine. Firstly, an impact has been carried out to determine the main damage mechanisms appearing over the structure for impact energies between 1 and 20J. Force time curve patterns and three different damage inspection...
