The fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites have been widely used as bullet-proof
materials due to their low specific gravity, high specific strength and stiffness, and excellent …

The capability to accurately analyse the response of multi-directional composite laminates
during impact events is of high importance for the design of lightweight aircraft structures. In …

Angle-ply carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) crush tubes were tested in drop weight
impact experiments. High-fidelity computational modelling of the dynamic impact response …

In this paper, the evolution of elastic–plastic damage in the composite laminates under
fatigue conditions is modeled. Continuum damage mechanics (CDM) has been coupled with …

The transient impact load during the launch of a rocket at sea threatens the safety of the
launcher and the deck structure of the launch platform. In view of the impact resistance of the …

The mechanical behaviour of strain-rate-dependent materials varies when they are exposed
to dynamic conditions (compared with static ones), and material parameters like modulus …

Present article demonstrates the virtual certification methodology of composite laminates
according to ASTMD7136 (low-velocity impact, LVI) and ASTM D7137 (compression after …
