“…Statistics show that the front sides of cars have caused deaths more than any other sides (30.7%) [2]. Furthermore, studies show that heads and legs of the pedestrian are the most injured body parts [4] (see Fig. 1).…”

“…A vehicle deceleration history with a desired characteristic of progression is the main goal of the vehicle body structure crashworthiness design [31]. Differently from a passenger vehicle, a formula racing car engine is located in the rear part of the vehicle so the impact velocity is high.…”

“…This requires dissipating the kinetic energy of the vehicle by plastic deformation of metallic structural elements or by failure of members made out of composite materials. The literature dealing composite structures subjected to crash impacts is reviewed in several articles [300][301][302][303][304] and books [301].…”

This article surveys existing cohesive zone models (CZM) and their use in numerical simulations for analysis impacts on composite structures and predicting the damage induced. These models are used for matrix cracks and delamination. The first part of article gives the required background on failure criteria for predicting the onset of delaminations, on fracture mechanics and the various types of CZM. The second part discusses applications of CZM to several types of impact problems with composite structures. Applications for these models to other problems are briefly mentioned at the end. CZM are now part of state of the art numerical simulations with progressive damage analysis.
