Recently, author had presented that impact force history of composite laminates subjected to low-velocity impact could be well analyzed using linearized contact law instead of the modified Hertzian contact law. If the linearized contact law concept is applied in impact response analysis, the impact problem can be transformed as a general structural analysis problem, so general purpose FEM software can be used in this kind of impact response analysis. In the present study it will be shown that impact damage, specially delamination area, as well as impact response can be well analyzed using the linearized contact law concept. In order to accurately predict delamination area, geometrical nonlinear analysis considering large deflection effect of plate has been performed and thermal stress analysis to consider thermal residual strain induced in curing process has been performed. Also, a proper failure criterion for delamination estimation has been used. In this failure criterion, in-situ strength values, obtained through matrix crack onset analysis have been used. Finally, analytically predicted delamination areas have been compared with experimental results. It shows that this analytical procedure can well predict delamination area of composite laminates subjected to the low-velocity impact.

In this paper, biaxial warp-knitted fabrics were produced with different high tenacity polyester linear density and inserted yarns density. The low-velocity impact property of flexible composites made of polyurethane as matrix and biaxial warp-knitted fabric as reinforcement has been investigated. The effect of impactor shape and initial impact energy on the impact response of flexible composite is tested. The results show that the initial impact energy have minor effect on the impact response of the biaxial warp-knitted flexible composites. The impact resistance of flexible composite specimen increases with the increase of high tenacity polyester linear density and inserted yarns density. The damage morphology of flexible composite materials is completely different under different impactor shapes. The findings have theoretical and practical significance for the applications of biaxial warp-knitted flexible composite.

Dent resistance of structures is one of the important design parameters to consider in automotive, aerospace, packaging and transportation of fragile goods, civil engineering and marine industries. It is important to study the dynamic impact response of various combinations of skin and core materials which can provide desired fracture toughness and highest strength to weight ratio for such applications. This paper discusses the low velocity impact response of sandwich structures having unique combination of mild steel as skin material bonded to thermoplastics/PU foam as core material. HDPE, LDPE and polypropylene were the choice of thermoplastics and an optimum combination of materials for the sandwich structure was evaluated using drop-weight experimental set up. It is observed that LDPE is the best choice of core material for the sandwich structures considered.
