Finite element modeling of sandwich composite structures subject to low velocity impact and delamination

Two common concerns in the use of sandwich composite construction are the effects of low velocity impact and delamination upon structural failure. Finite element analysis of these events can provide a comprehensive time history of the resulting stress strain, displacement, and velocity at all points...
