Journal ArticleDOI
Low velocity impact and compression after impact simulation of thin ply laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, a simulation of low velocity impact and compression after impact in thin ply fabric laminates is studied through numerical simulations in which special attention has been devoted towards the computational efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
Damage sequence in thin-ply composite laminates under out-of-plane loading
Ahmed Wagih,Ahmed Wagih,Pere Maimí,E.V. González,N. Blanco,J.R. Sainz de Aja,F.M. de la Escalera,Robin Olsson,E. Alvarez +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, quasi-static indentation tests were conducted on thin-ply laminates to understand qualitatively the damage mechanisms and their sequence during low-velocity impact loading.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cohesive zone length of orthotropic materials undergoing delamination
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a review of existing analytic expressions to predict the cohesive zone length of homogeneous orthotropic materials with a crack growing under pure mode I or pure mode II.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulating drop-weight impact and compression after impact tests on composite laminates using conventional shell finite elements
E.V. González,Pere Maimí,E. Martín-Santos,A. Soto,P. Cruz,F. Martin de la Escalera,J.R. Sainz de Aja +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element modeling strategy is presented for simulating low-velocity impact and compression after impact tests on composite laminates using Abaqus/Explicit software.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of interply hybridization on the damage resistance and tolerance of composite laminates
TL;DR: In this paper, a drop-weight impact response of interply hybrid laminates manufactured using polymer-matrix composite materials is analyzed by combining pairs of materials and by changing their location in the through-the-thickness direction of the laminate.
