Stone impact damage to automotive paint finishes has drawn significant
attention from both automobile manufacturers and their OEM paint supp
liers. Impact damage is a transient and complex phenomenon, a function
of a number of variables such as velocity, angle, temperature and mat
erial constants for both projectile and the target system. This work p
resents a critical review of earlier work and describes an impact phys
ics perspective to the stone chip problem. This work also illustrates
the application of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) to det
ect and estimate adhesion loss at the metal/paint interface brought ab
out by impact stresses. Two simple procedures to estimate impact induc
ed corrosion (IIC) from Bode plots are also described.
