“…18, a good agreement between experimental and numerical results was reported for aramid/epoxy specimens under 30 J impact energy, even if the difference was about 22%. It can also be seen that the difference ratios in Table 3 are at reasonable levels with respect to the error rates reported in some studies in the literature 15,17,18 …”

“…This contact type was recommended contact type between thick‐laminated composite structures and impactor for crash simulations; because both side of a shell element was checked for avoiding penetration through this card 26 . Friction coefficient of μ was applied as 0.20 between the impactor and thick laminated composite structures according to dry contact state 15 …”

In this study, the dynamic behavior under low‐veloctiy impact of E‐glass epoxy unidirectional thick laminated composite structure was investigated by numerical methods and compared with experimental results. Thereby, it was aimed to detect the impact behavior of the composite structures with numerical analysis program for reducing experimental tests on these composite structures. LS‐DYNA finite element method (FEM) software was used for numerical modeling. The material model MAT055, which is based on the Tsai–Wu matrix failure modeling on damage mechanics, was selected for the analyses in LS‐DYNA. Low‐velocity impact analyses have been carried out on composite structures at various impact energies as a range of 15–250 J as similar to experiments. From the analysis of the plots, it can be seen that the values of absorption energy provided by the FEM analyses are close to the experimental values at all impact energy levels. It can be determined that the mean difference between the absorption energy levels provided from the experimental and numerical studies is 1.81%. In the same studies, matrix cracking was observed at 50 J impact energy value and full penetration was observed at 250 J impact energy. The error rate between the values obtained using the derived impact energy prediction equation and the values obtained as a result of numerical analysis was maximum 5.26%. Thus, derived equation was found to be reasonable for use in predicting the absorption energy. As a result, these values indicate that the experimental results are agreed well with the numerical results.Highlights Dynamic behavior under impact of thick laminated composite was investigated. Impact analyses were performed at impact energies as a range of 15–250 J. At 250 J impact energy, the composite deformed with full penetration damage. Impact damage areas were calculated according to impact energy levels. It would be useful to use numerical analysis method in terms of cost and time.

In this study, the mechanical behavior of laminated glass fiber composite plates reinforced with wire meshes under in-plane and out-of-plane loads was investigated. For this purpose, composite plates were produced by vacuum infusion method by placing aluminum and glass fiber wire layers with different mesh numbers between woven glass fiber fabrics. Afterward, impact and tensile tests were applied to the obtained specimens, respectively. The effect of the added reinforcement wires meshes on the impact resistance and tensile strength of the composites was determined. According to the data obtained; When glass wire with the same mesh number is used, 19.2% more reaction force was obtained than aluminum wire. The results of the double cantilever beam (DCB) and end notched flexure (ENF) test results confirmed that glass wire meshes had a better adhesion surface compared to aluminum. In addition, critical energy release rates were obtained with the help of the ANSYS finite element program and the data were compared with the experimental results. In the case of increasing the mesh number, it was observed that the reaction force of the glass wire mesh reinforced composite decreased by 17.54% under the impact.
