“…Currently, FRP failures are generally considered to be fiber failures, matrix failures, and interlayer delamination failures [13][14][15][16][17][18]. However, during actual deformation and destruction the in-layer delamination is also a possible failure mode.…”

“…The Hashin criterion [10], the Puck criterion [11], and the Chang-Chang criterion [12] are the most commonly used failure criteria for FRP, nowadays. Many researchers [13][14][15][16][17][18] had studied the low-velocity impact problems of FRP component based on these three criteria. However, these studies always ignored the in-layer delamination of FRP which is an important failure mode when the thickness of unidirectional FRP lamina is large.…”

This study proposed a finite element simulation method to analyze the progressive failure of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) reinforced steel component under low-velocity impact. In this method, the Johnson-Cook model and fracture criterion were used to consider the strain rate effect of steel; additionally, a VUMAT subroutine was proposed to discuss the 6 initial failure modes (fiber tension/compression failure, matrix tension/compression failure and in -layer tension/compression delamination failure) and damage evolution of FRP. In order to verify the simulation results, a series of axial low-velocity impact tests on GFRP-reinforced circular steel tube were performed, the comparative study confirmed that the simulations were in good agreement with the test results. Besides, the advantages of proposed VUMAT subroutine were made obviously by comparing to the Puck criterion, the Hashin criterion, and the Chang-Chang criterion.

This study aimed to investigate the energy absorption characteristics of glass fiber cloth‐reinforced epoxy resin (GFRP) composites. The axial dynamic impact test and numerical simulation study on 759/5224 circular tubes were conducted, as well as analyzed and discussed the relevant energy‐absorption parameters and failure morphology. Based on continuum‐damage mechanics, considering the anisotropic constitutive model of composites, the failure criterion including stiffness degradation was embedded into the second subroutine of MSC.Dytran platform and then introduced damage variables to update the material parameters. A progressive damage‐analysis model of composites with shear nonlinear effect was also established. Based on the improved secondary subroutine damage evolution model, the dynamic impact damage morphology of 759/5224 glass–fiber composite tube was accurately simulated; used the finite element simulation to obtain the absorption evaluation parameters of average load, special energy absorption and crushing stroke; and comparatively analyzed the simulation and test results. The maximum relative error of special energy absorption of the glass–fiber composite tube was <8.5%, which met engineering requirements. Therefore, the finite‐element method adopted in this paper can reasonably evaluate the gradual failure of dynamic impact of glass–fiber composite tubes. POLYM.

“…Hashin criteria comprehensively considers the various damage modes such as fibre ruptures in tension, matrix cracking due to transverse tension and shear, fibre compressive damage (buckling or kinking) and matrix crushing under transverse compression and shear effect (Hoffman 1967). Hashin criteria have been proved that it is effective method to predict ply based damage initiation Feng and Aymerich 2014;Farooq and Myler 2016;Johnson et al 2006;Liu et al 2016;Li et al 2014b), however, based on the experimental observation, the matrix compressive crack is always formed with an angle through the ply thickness whereas Hashin criteria are less able to simulate this process. Puck and Schurmann (1998) developed a damage model for transverse compression.…”

“…The damage model used the strains at damage onset and at complete damage, effectively defined the damage variable for degradation and accurately captured the damage progression for composite laminates Donadon et al 2008;Faggiani and Falzon 2010;Feng and Aymerich 2014;Liu et al 2016;Topac et al 2017), which a typical damage variable defined for tensile damage mode is shown in Eq. (2.30).…”

The paper presents recent progress on modelling low velocity impact induced damage in fibre reinforced composite laminates. It is important to understand the mechanisms of barely visible impact damage (BVID) and how it affects structural performance. To reduce labour intensive testing, the development of finite element (FE) techniques for simulating impact damage becomes essential and recent effort by the composites research community is reviewed in this work. The FE predicted damage initiation and propagation can be validated by Non Destructive Techniques (NDT) that gives confidence to the developed numerical damage models. A reliable damage simulation can assist the design process to optimise laminate configurations, reduce weight and improve performance of components and structures used in aircraft construction.
