Keywords: composite, sandwich, impact

An experimental and theoretical approach is conducted to modelize the impact behavior of aeronautic sandwich structures. This study is a step toward the final objective, which is to provide an inverse method to analyze the damage in service and to compute the residual strength in fast maintenance loops.
