Abstract
The paper describes the application of a 3D finite element model for prediction of impact induced damage in sandwich composites consisting of laminated skins bonded to a closed cell foam core. The major damage and fracture mechanisms typically developing in transversally loaded sandwich composites were simulated in the model. The model was implemented in the FE package ABAQUS/Explicit and used to predict the impact damage resistance of sandwich panels with different core densities, core thicknesses, and skins layups. Numerical results obtained by FE simulations were compared with experimental data and observations collected through impact tests carried out at various impact energies.
