Numerical Simulation of Compressive Residual Strength for Damaged Composite Laminates

Article Preview

Abstract:

After the low-velocity impact test of composite laminates of T800/BA9916, CAI test and compression test of laminates with a hole have been carried out. Two types of models were set up by the finite element software ABAQUS respectively. The FEA results were good agreement with the testing results. The investigation of models with a hole indicates that the appearance time of ultimate compressive load is earlier than that of fiber breakage expanding to boundary. Moreover, the diameter and the depth of blind hole significantly influence the ultimate compressive load.
