Description
Summary:Numerical simulation of static indentation and lateral impact tests of laminated composite plates, using a commercial finite element system are presented. Extensive results from a parametric study are also provided to supplement the experimental result. It is concluded that a nonlinear and transient response analysis was needed to predict the deformation and damage measured in the tests.
