The damage of fiber reinforced polymer matrix composite materials induced by impact load
is one of the most critical factors that restrict extensive use of these materials. The behavior …

For the analysis of low-velocity impact damage, many analytical and numerical models were
developed by various authors. These models range from simple approaches with a single …

This study focuses on the clustering of the indentation-induced interlaminar and intralaminar
damages in carbon/epoxy laminated composites using Acoustic Emission (AE) technique …

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 …

Despite the key advantages of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) composites, they are
susceptible to Barely Visible Impact Damage (BVID) under transverse loadings. This study …

This study is aimed at comparing the response and damage of unidirectional (UD), woven
fabric (WF) and hybrid UD/WF fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) laminates subjected to low …

Composite laminates are susceptible to low-velocity impact and the induced damage
substantially reduces the residual mechanical performance and safe-service life of the …

Detection of damage due to impact in an isotropic structure like metal, its alloys, etc. is an
easy task but in the case of fibre reinforced polymer matrix composite structures, it becomes …

Although much work has considered hybridised Carbon and Glass Fibre Reinforced
Polymers to positively influence the performance of composite structures when subjected to …

This paper quantifies the compound effect of source-uncertainties on low-velocity impact of
functionally graded material (FGM) plates following a coupled surrogate based finite …
