Adhesive bonding is one of the most suitable joining technologies in terms of weight and
mechanical performance for current carbon fiber reinforced polymer aircraft fuselage …

LVI has become a serious threat to the composite industry because it induces complex
failure mechanisms and internal damages which significantly reduce the structural …

This review paper summarizes the current state-of-art and challenges for the future
developments of fiber-reinforced composites for structural applications with multifunctional …

A bottom‐up, multiscale modeling approach is presented to carry out high‐fidelity virtual
mechanical tests of composite materials and structures. The strategy begins with the in situ …

This paper presents finite element simulations of two standardized and sequential tests
performed in polymer–matrix composite laminates reinforced by unidirectional fibers: the …

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 …

Progressive damage models based on continuum damage mechanics were used in
combination with cohesive interface elements to predict the structural response and the …

This paper deals with impact damage and permanent indentation modeling. A numerical
model has been elaborated in order to simulate the different impact damage types …

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 …

This paper presents a validation of low-velocity impact Finite Element (FE) modelling. Based
on switching ply location of reference layup [0 2, 45 2, 90 2,− 45 2] s T700GC/M21 laminated …
