Impact indentation is believed to be an effective indication of low-velocity impact (LVI) damage for polymer matrix composites. However, it has been discovered that an indentation can partially rebound over time. Impact indentation and its rebound behavi...

Indentation is an effective indication of LVI damage in PMCs. However, indentation can rebound partly with time. Thus, a good understanding of the rebound behavior of the impacted pit is helpful in damage assessment for composites. In this paper, a trans...
