Wood has always been used by man for his means of transport. It is only since the beginning
of the 20th century that it has fallen into disuse due to the industrial production of concrete …

Low-velocity impact damage can drastically reduce the residual strength of a composite
structure even when the damage is barely visible. The ability to computationally predict the …

Impact resistance and damage tolerance are of great significance in the design of composite
structures. This study investigated the damage and failure mechanism of thin composite …

This paper deals with impact damage and permanent indentation modeling. A numerical
model has been elaborated in order to simulate the different impact damage types …

The capability to accurately analyse the response of multi-directional composite laminates
during impact events is of high importance for the design of lightweight aircraft structures. In …

This paper presents a model for the numerical simulation of impact damage, permanent
indentation and compression after impact (CAI) in CFRP laminates. The same model is used …

A model enabling the detection of damages developing during a low velocity/low energy
impact test on laminate composite panels has been elaborated. The ply model is composed …

A high-fidelity finite element (FE) model based on integrated discrete and continuum
damage modeling techniques was developed to predict damage modes, locations, sizes …

Abstract Compression After Impact (CAI) tests are frequently performed to characterize the
effect of impact damage on strength of composites. This paper presents an integrated single …

As the use of composite laminates are unceasingly increasing more and more in many
applications, the in-depth understanding about the impact response of composite laminates …
