Simulation of the Quasi-static Crushing of a Fabric Composite Plate - 2011

Simulation of the Quasi-static Crushing of a Fabric Composite Plate is a methodology for modeling the crushing behavior of composite structures using
Abaqus/Explicit. Very good quantitative and qualitative agreement between the
numerical results and experimental data is shown, demonstrating the utility of
Abaqus/Explicit for assessing the crashworthiness of composite structures and
reducing the amount of costly experimental testing.
