Lightning strike and delamination performance of metal tufted carbon composites

The set contains the following files:R-curves: This file contains the interpolated test results (crack length & crack energy release rate) of the unreinforced, steel tufted and copper tufted materials. Force displacement: This file contains the one characteristic force-displacement curve for the unreinforced, steel tufted and copper tufted materials. Lightning_Strike_Damage: This file presents the lightning strike tests results (internal and surface damage) of the unreinforced, steel tufted and copper tufted materials. Damage_Squares: This file contains the C-scan results along images of the panels after lightning strike tests and shows the procedure followed to determine the internal and surface damage size of the unreinforced, steel tufted and copper tufted materials by overlaying the damage with squares of known size.
