The bumper beam is an important device to ensure the safety of the car, which can
effectively alleviate the force and absorb energy when the car collides. Traditional bumper …

This article reports on the physics-based models for the diagnosis (detection, isolation,
localization, and quantification of damages) and prognosis (prediction of the future evolution …

This work investigates the effects of carbon/glass/basalt hybridization and fabric structure on
the low velocity impact resistance of fibre reinforced plastic composites. Interply hybrid …

Impact resistance and damage tolerance are of great significance in the design of composite
structures. This study investigated the damage and failure mechanism of thin composite …

As a class of promising cost-effective lightweight structures, metal-composite hybrid
structures has rapidly emerged in automotive industry largely attributable to their …

In this paper, the mechanical response of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) plates
subjected to repeated low-velocity impacts is numerically investigated. 3D models of …

Aerospace composite structures are subjected to not only single but also repeated low-
velocity impact during service conditions. In this paper, the dynamic mechanical response …

In this paper, a 3D finite element model is established in ABAQUS/Explicit based on a
modified progressive damage model to study the dynamic mechanical response and …

Composite structures used in ships and offshore equipment are subjected to repeated low
velocity impacts at localized sites during service conditions. In this paper, the repeated low …

The damage mechanisms of the balanced symmetrical laminates under low-velocity impact
(LVI) and compression after impact (CAI) loading conditions are not fully applicable to …
