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 …

Composite laminate has extensive usage in the aerospace and automotive industries. Thus
delamination, one of its most prevalent and challenging failure modes, has attracted …

The damage tolerance of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) to Barely Visible Impact
Damage (BVID) is a critical design limiter for composite structures. This study investigated …

This article explores the experimental and numerical study in ABAQUS/explicit of the post-
impact damage progression in carbon/epoxy composite laminate under compression. LVI …

Abstract The GRP (Glass Reinforced Polymer) composite pipes produced by filament
winding (FW) technique are used in many applications such as the transmission of …

Composite structures are particularly vulnerable to impact which drastically reduces their
residual strength [1–3]. In this work, the influence of laminate thickness, ply-stacking …

Abstract The evaluation of Compression-After-Impact (CAI) strength is of great significance
in the design of composite aerostructures. This paper presents a model for the numerical …

Low-velocity impacts (LVI) on composite laminates pose significant safety issues since they
are able to generate extended damage within the structure, mostly delaminations and matrix …

This article is a continuation study of the LVI and CAI response of the plain carbon fiber
composite laminates and explores the experimental & numerical study of the post-impact …

There is a lack of research available on how thin laminates respond to impact and post
impact loads, even though thin structures are used in present-day aircrafts. This …
