A progressive damage model (PDM) composed by 3D FEM, Hashin and Ye failure criteria and Changs degradation rules was established to deeply understand the failure of a new material system CCF300/5428 under low velocity impact. User defined subroutines were developed and embedded into the general FEA software package to carry out the failure analysis. Numerical simulations provide more information about the failure of composite laminates under low velocity impact, including initial damage status, damage propagation and final failure status. The history of the impact point displacement and various damage patterns were detailed studied.

Advanced composite laminates (i.e. glass composite laminates) are highly susceptible to low velocity impact, and the induced damage failures substantially reduced their residual mechanical properties and safe-service life during their application. Therefore, experiments and simulation efforts to predict their low-velocity impact damages and energy absorbing have significant importance in composite structures design. In this regards, experimental and finite element analysis (FEA) with aiding Abaqus software were respectively performed to investigate the influence of yarn hybridisation on the response of composite laminates under low velocity impact. The hybrid yarns, which consisted of S-glass and polypropylene yarns have been used to manufacture two types of composites; non-crimp cross-ply hybrid yarns and twill hybrid fabric composites. Additionally, for comparison, the non-crimp cross-ply and twill fabric composite laminates have been made from glass fibres only. The vacuum infusion resin process has been adopted to manufacture these composite laminates. The impact performance of composite laminates has been investigated using low-velocity impact at 15 J, 35, and 50 impact energy levels. The numerical analysis was executed using Abaqus/Explicit and Hashin failure criteria and continuum damage mechanics by using homogenous shell were adopted to simulate the intra-laminar damage in layers. Meanwhile, standard cohesive inter-laminar interfaces that inserted between composite layers with quadratic stress failure criteria have been used to model delamination failures. The numerical results regarding impact force-time, displacement–time and energy-time histories plots, as well as the damage evolution behaviour of matrix crack and fibre fracture, presented an agreement with experimental results.

Experimental and numerical studies of the 2D woven composite laminates under low-velocity impact with different energy are discussed in this paper. The traditional Hashin failure criteria are improved to cover the failure modes of fiber rupture and delamination. It is found that the damage level depend on the impact energy. The matrix deformation is the main reason of delamination. The simulating results are in good agreement with the experimental phenomenon observed by nondestructive examination (ultrasonic C scanning) and cross-section examination
