This paper aims to evaluate the influences of impact-induced damage on the residual flexural strength of honeycomb core sandwich panels with different structural configurations …
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 …
To predict the low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression-after-impact (CAI) behaviour of woven carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, a finite element (FE) model was …
This article explores the experimental and numerical study in ABAQUS/explicit of the post- impact damage progression in carbon/epoxy composite laminate under compression. LVI …
Composite structures are particularly vulnerable to impact which drastically reduces their residual strength [1–3]. In this work, the influence of laminate thickness, ply-stacking …
