AB - A new reinforcement concept for improving compression after impact strength of carbon fibre reinforced polymers is explored. The concept consists of manufacturing interlocked reinforcement units from thin-ply prepreg, which are inserted at the interlaminar interfaces within a regular ply-thickness laminate. Compression after impact tests following ASTM standards were performed on both reinforced and baseline specimens. The reinforced specimens showed a 11.4 % reduction in post-impact delamination area. The strength results will be presented at the conference.
