Experimental investigations into SGP laminated glass under low velocity impact

The Low Velocity Impact Behaviour of Glass-Polymer Laminated Plates

Low Velocity Impact Damage Prediction in Laminated Composite Plates

In this paper, a finite element model is presented for the transient analysis of low velocity impact, and the impact induced damage in the composite plate subjected to low velocity impact is studied. The failure criteria suggested by Choi and Chang and the Tsai-Hill failure criteria are used for the prediction of the damage in the composite plate; then the effect of various parameters on the im...

Size Effect on the Damaged Areas of Glass/Epoxy Structures under Low Velocity Impact

Most impact tests are carried out on specimens with specific stacking sequence and dimensions to meet standard and experimental limitations. The damaged areas and the resulted reduction in the strength values of specimens may not agree very well with those of real application. In this paper an attempt is made to study the variation in the size of damaged areas due to varying the dimension of te...

An experimental investigation into localised low-velocity impact loading on glass fibre-reinforced polyamide automotive product

Sensitivity analysis of low-velocity impact response of laminated plates

We analyze the sensitivity to values of material parameters, layer thickness and impact speed of the plate deflection, the contact force between the impactor and the plate, the maximum length of a crack, and the energy dissipated during the low velocity impact at normal incidence of a clamped rectangular laminate by a rigid hemispherical-nosed cylinder. The laminate is comprised of layers of po...
