This paper aims at reviewing nonlinear methods for model order reduction in structures with
geometric nonlinearity, with a special emphasis on the techniques based on invariant …

Aircraft are increasingly being made of electrically resistive composites, rather than
conductive metals. Therefore, it is important to analyse the damage caused by a lightning …

In this paper, a 3D finite element model is established in ABAQUS/Explicit based on a
modified progressive damage model to study the dynamic mechanical response and …

The objective of this study is to incorporate the proper generalized decomposition (PGD) into
the harmonic balance method (HBM) for an efficient numerical continuation of nonlinear …

In this work, the crashworthiness of the floor subsection of the cargo area of a civil aircraft is
investigated. The structural behaviour under dynamic loading conditions of a structural sub …

The damage of composite structure caused by impact events is one of the most critical
damages that have been caused several design problems. Understanding damage and …

In this article, the aim is to numerically and experimentally investigate the energy absorption
of sandwich panels composed of polyurethane foam cores and composite facesheets …

The use of fibre reinforced composite materials is one method by which the lightweighting of
rail vehicles can be achieved. However, the issue of impact damage, amongst other …

Highly complex phenomena such as lightning strikes require simulation methods capable of
capturing many different physics. However, completing this in one simulation is not always …

We present a simple, efficient and easy-to-use finite element (FE) model for the simulation of
progressive damage in quasi-isotropic IM7/8552 carbon fibre reinforced composites under …
