“…Finite element results are presented for the three different test speeds (quasi-static, dynamic 1 mps, and 5 mps) for the composite and different metals. Figures [9][10][11][12][13][14][15] represent the experimental curves for the quasi-static and high-strain tests. The composite's mechanical properties were predicted using ABAQUS and compared with the experimental values to validate the quasi-static and high strain rate (Figures 16, 23).…”

“…Epoxy resins are most widely used for high-performance applications [8]. Lightweight materials such as aluminum, magnesium, and composites are being investigated for automotive applications [9][10][11]. Many authors have demonstrated that composite materials' structures designed to absorb impact energy possess high specific energy absorption (SEA) [8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

Many authors have demonstrated that composite materials' structures designed to absorb impact energy possess high specific energy absorption (SEA) [8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. The combination of high SEA and mass reduction potential of composite materials has led to a significant research effort, particularly substituting metal components for composite alternatives.…”

The performance of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite materials under quasi-static and high strain rate loading can be predicted with a high level of accuracy using the non-linear finite element analysis (FEA) method. Experimental validation tests under uniaxial tensile loading have shown a good correlation with FEA predictions for thermoset polymer composites, using commercially available epoxy resin MTM710 with carbon fiber reinforcement and for comparative tests on DP600 steel and aluminum alloys (AC170 and 5754 series). The physical and numerical results comparison of composite, aluminum, and high-strength steel indicates that the composite may be used as an alternative to aluminum and high-strength steel since the composite was shown to have almost the same strength as steel and higher strength than aluminum with the advantage of being lightweight and possessing similar mechanical behavior under quasi-static conditions. The results demonstrated that the strain rate range used did not significantly affect the strength of the composite materials. The selection of materials can be optimized reliably by FEA based on mechanical properties, cost, and weight. This will significantly reduce the new product introduction timescale, which is essential for the wider use of polymer composites for structural applications, especially in the automotive industry.
