Composite structures formed using thin-ply laminates are of interest to aerospace and other
high-performance industries. This paper reviews recently published research into fibre …

The introduction of the spread-tow thin-ply technology enabled the development of
composite plies as thin as 0.020 mm. The availability of composite plies with a broader …

This study investigated the damage and failure mechanism of composite laminates under
low-velocity impact and compression-after-impact (CAI) loading conditions by numerical and …

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 …

A high-fidelity finite element (FE) model based on integrated discrete and continuum
damage modeling techniques was developed to predict damage modes, locations, sizes …

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 …

To predict the low-velocity impact (LVI) and compression-after-impact (CAI) behaviour of
woven carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites, a finite element (FE) model was …

A new 3D elastoplastic damage model is proposed to predict the plastic deformation and the
progressive failure of unidirectional laminated composite materials at the meso-scale level …

The progressive damage analysis of fiber-reinforced composite materials is a challenging
task, especially when complicated cracking scenarios arise due to the onset and …

Composite structures suffer from significant residual strength reduction as a result of
invisible damage caused by impacts, which can cause severe harm without any prior …
