Abstract:
The numerical prediction of composite material damages remains a strong tool that develops day by day. Several numerical models have been developed in the literature for simulating the progressive damage. In this paper the most used low velocity impacts numerical methods available in the literature are reviewed. First the various damage mechanisms of laminated composite materials are described. Then, different damages modelling are presented, from the onset to the final rupture. Finally, some results of the finite element model (FEM) are reported.
