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.

The aim of this study was to investigate the valuable impact damage parameters from quasi-static indentation testing to access the low-velocity impact behaviour of ex-situ toughened composites by comparing low-velocity impact and quasi-static test results (the same boundary conditions). In terms of the delamination damage threshold load and indentation depth, quasi-static tests predicted the impact damage resistance well. However, only very conservative estimates of maximum load due to the final fibre failure under higher energy level were achieved. This phenomenon is attributed to two factors. First, energy during quasi-static indentation event is completely transformed or absorbed by the laminate, where it is stored elastically in panel bending or absorbed by the creation of damage, without the energy in the form of vibration, heat, inelastic behaviour of the impactor or the supports. Second, strain rate effect may have a remarkable influence on the fibre failure but on undamaged and delaminated damage.

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

In this study, Hashin failure criteria were enhanced with Puck’s action plane concept to develop a user material model that can accurately predict the damage development inside the composite laminate when it is subjected to low-velocity impact. A simple cross-ply laminate [0/90]s was chosen to demonstrate the applicability of the material model. Experiments were also performed to observe the real behavior of the laminate. A good correlation between the experiment and simulation results was obtained in terms of peak force and displacement. However, the model under-predicted the absorbed energy, but the discrepancy decreased with the increase in impact energy. Moreover, the interface delamination study was performed by comparing the signatures in post-impact samples of the experiment and numerical simulation. It was observed that the experimentally detected delamination area was closely predicted by the simulation. It was further noticed that the top interface delamination increases faster than bottom interface delamination. Furthermore, the total energy absorbed by the laminates in intralaminar and interlaminar damage modes and friction effects were found to be closely matching with the final absorbed energy of the laminate. Hence, it was seen that the developed finite element model was able to closely capture the behavior occurring in experiments.

Based on the two-dimensional Hashin failure criteria and the introduction of material degradation damage factor, low-speed impact model of composite laminated plate was established by ABAQUS with fiber and matrix’s failure modes being taken into consideration. The mode is verified by referring to Karakuzu test. Next, it analyzes single ply thickness’ effect on laminated plate’s response and damaged under low-velocity impact. The result shows that with the thickness increasing, impact contact time and laminated plate impact point’s deflection displacement reduce, while the impact force and volatile shocks are more obvious.
