Thermoplastic polymer fiber–thermoplastic polymer matrix composites (PPCs or PRFPs),
often recognized as self‐reinforced or single polymer composites, are potential candidates …

A composite laminate may be designed as a permutation of several straight-fiber layers or
as a matrix embracing fibers positioned in curvilinear paths. The former called a constant …

This study investigated the damage and failure mechanism of composite laminates under
low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact (CAI) loading conditions by numerical and …

This paper is the follow-up on the previous work by the authors on the experimental
evaluation of the impact damage resistance of laminates with dispersed stacking …

The introduction of the spread-tow thin-ply technology enabled the development of
composite plies as thin as 0.020 mm. The availability of composite plies with a broader …

This paper presents a review of some of the constitutive models used in finite element
analysis to assess the structural performance of composite materials. The constitutive …

This paper investigates the effect of size and complexity of composite structures on the
formation of low-velocity impact damage via experimental tests and numerical modelling …

This paper presents a damage analysis process of composite laminates subjected to low-
velocity impact. Drop weight tests were carried out on specimens with two kinds of stacking …

Composite materials are now used throughout the marine industry but their susceptibility to
impact events is still an unresolved problem. There is a huge body of work in the area …

In this article, the low-velocity impact response of woven Kevlar/epoxy laminated composites
enhanced with different weight percentages (⩽ 1%) of multi-walled carbon nanotubes …
