Abstract

This paper provides a numerical comparative analysis of the low-velocity oblique impact performance of glass, carbon and aramid fiber reinforced polymer laminates with different quasi-isotropic and symmetric stacking sequences. To ensure accuracy of simulation results, the numerical model was validated using previously published experimental data. Puck failure criterion was applied for both the validation case and the numerical results’ evaluation and benchmarking. The results shown that, within the oblique impact angles from 0° to 60°, the most critical angles produced damage are 25° and above 55°. ANSYS Composite PrepPost + Transient Structural software was used for numerical setup and simulation.
