Abstract:

Non-linear modeling for dynamic fracture process by the finite element method has been proposed to estimate the multiaxial impact strength of glass mat and glass, carbon, glass/carbon or aramid cloth laminates. The numerical results are compared with experimental data, which are obtained by instrumented drop-weight impact test and the validity of the proposed model is confirmed.

Keywords: Computational modeling; dynamic fracture process; multiaxial impact; FRP laminates
