Abstract In recent years, Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) or Glass Fiber Reinforced
Plastics (GFRPs) have become a very common material for aircraft and wind turbine …

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 …

This paper presents a new finite element (FE) methodology to predict highly nonlinear,
transient thermal-electrical-mechanical responses of carbon/epoxy laminates subjected to …

This study presents a novel stochastic modeling framework predicting lightning thermal
damage in carbon/epoxy composites. The stochastic lightning damage model (SLDM) was …

The aim of this contribution is to design and test the lightning protection of an aircraft radome
exposed to direct lightning strikes. The influencing parameters are investigated on different …

Based on arc heating involved electrical-thermal-chemical coupling models of CFRPs
subjected to combined lightning components D and C, the changing characteristics of the …

Lightning strike simulations have used decomposition models, derived from TGA
experiments, to model material behaviour at elevated heating rates and temperatures. Such …

In this work, three-dimensional (3D) finite element simulations were undertaken to study the
effects of lightning strikes on the microscale behaviour of continuous fibre-reinforced …

This paper proposes a progressive damage model incorporating strain and heating rate
effects for the prediction of composite specimen damage resulting from simulated lightning …
