Abstract
In this work, the oblique impact response of sandwich structures, with carbon/epoxy face-sheets and aluminium honeycomb core, is analysed by implementing a 3D numerical model in Abaqus/Explicit finite element code. The numerical model was validated with data taken from the scientific [...]
Abstract
High-velocity impact is one of the most common load states to which composite material structures can be subjected during their service life and can cause a sudden loss of properties favouring its catastrophic failure. Impact loads are usually caused by external elements such as [...]
