“…The global–local approach is a kind of simulation measure to reduce the CPU time effectively, which is shown in literature. 39,40 In this article, the stacking sequence of actual composite layer was simplified in the model. Monolayers of the same angle were concentrated in one layer to reduce the unit-cell number of the thickness direction without changing the thickness and layer ratio of composite laminate.…”

Composites are very sensitive to the load in the direction of thickness, especially out-plane low velocity impact (LVI). In this article, the detailed failure mechanisms of composite laminates with four material systems (CCF300/Epoxy, CCF300/Bismaleimide, CCF800/Epoxy, and CCF800/Bismaleimide) under the loading of LVI and compression after impact (CAI) were studied by experiment and finite element analysis. In finite element model, a newly proposed multi-scale failure criterion (MMF3) and cohesive elements are used to determine the intralaminar damage and interlaminar delamination, respectively. Through experiment and finite element analysis, it can be concluded that the damage tolerance performance of epoxy resin composites are better than that of bismaleimide resin composites, and the damage tolerance performance of CCF300 carbon fiber composites are better than that of CCF800 carbon fiber composites. The proposed multi-scale failure analysis method can effectively simulate the impact and CAI damage process of composite laminates.

“…It is necessary to account accurately for the state and extent of impact damage and simulating this damage in the reasonable constitutive relationships, for the development of a model that can deal with various impact energies and stacking sequences. Over the years, a FE method for considering overall failure process, including both impact and CAI experiments, has been proposed [9,10,27]. However, this accurate method available seems to be computationally expensive as it requires detailed time-consuming progressive damage calculations based on the 3D stress state and makes use of cohesive elements which should be placed accurately at each interface between plies.…”

A phenomenological-based mechanical finite element model is developed for the prediction of ultimate compression loads and failure modes of wing relevant composite panels stiffened with I-shaped stiffeners, of which the edge is subjected to impact loading. The initiation of intralaminar failure including fiber and inter-fiber fracture is evaluated by Puck criteria, and its evolution is assumed to be controlled by equivalent strains. The interlaminar failure, namely delamination, is simulated by employing a surface-based cohesive contact model. For R-sections of the impacted stiffener, interfacial delamination, which may cause premature failure and to some extent reduce the load carrying capacity, is efficiently considered. A good correlation between the experimental and numerical results shows correctness and effectiveness of the proposed mechanical method for predicting CAEI response. Furthermore, numerical results reveal that not only failure propagation of the impacted site but that of the other undamaged side dominate the compressive mechanism of the edge impacted stiffener, of which
