Low-Velocity Impact FRP Laminate with LS-Dyna

Low-Velocity Impact FRP Laminate with LS-Dyna: In order to effectively describe the progressively intralaminar and interlaminar (delamination) damage for composite laminates, a three-dimensional progressive damage model for composite laminates is defined. it is used for low-velocity impact in LS-Dyna.

It is based on continuum damage mechanics (CDM) and is implemented in the LS-Dyna with Chang-Chang material model (*MAT_054). The nonlinear damage model can be used to analyze the dynamic performance of the composite structure and its failure behavior.

For the interlaminar damage, 3D cohesive elements with *MAT_138 material model are used.  FEA model is validated by well-known paper (Guo et al. 2013) and can be used in any simulations.
