The influence of impact damage on design of composite structures

The paper addresses the problem of impact on layered fibre composites. The behaviour of composite laminates under impact loading is dependent not only on the velocity but also on the mass and geometry of the impactor. Using micromechanical Mori-Tanaka approach, mechanical properties of the laminate have been calculated knowing the properties of the fibre and the matrix. General purpose FEM software ABAQUS has been modified by means of user written subroutines for modelling of composite laminate and rigid impactor. The kinematics of the impact has been reconstructed using transient dynamic analysis. Using user defined multi point constraints, delamination zones have been modeled and visualised.
