A Strain-rate Dependant Micromechanical Finite Element Model for High-velocity Impacts on Laminated Composite Plates

A novel multi-scale numerical model for the simulation of high-velocity impacts on laminated composite plates is developed, which encompasses a micromechanics module for the accurate assessment of damage initiation and growth in the individual composite micromechanical constituents and for the effic...
