Abstract
A mechanical behaviour of plain-weave E-glass fabric/epoxy laminate composite plate exposed to ballistic impact is studied using a finite-element (FE) code Abaqus/Explicit. A ply-level FE model is developed, where a fabric-reinforced ply is modelled as a homogeneous orthotropic elastic material with potential to sustain progressive stiffness degradation due to fiber/matrix cracking, and plastic deformation under shear loading. The model is implemented as a VUMAT user subroutine. Ballistic experiments were carried out to validate the FE model. A parametric study for varying panel thickness is performed to compare impact resistance of the studied composite. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd
