Finite Element Analysis of Indentation in Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
This thesis employs a finite element (FE) method for numerically simulating the mechanical response of constituents in a fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composite to indentation. Indentation refers to a procedure that subsumes a rigid indenter of specific geometry to impress the surface of a relativ...
