Abstract
The relationship between deformation and stress is crucial for any elasto-plastic body. This paper deals with the experimental identification of the basic parameters of the composite laminate model in relation to the finite element model. Standardized tensile, impact, and post-impact tests on a carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy laminate were used. The method by which the elasticity and failure parameters were obtained from the initial components is described. In the article, the modes of initiation and complete failure of samples in tensile tests, which are compared with the simulation, are presented. Furthermore, the article deals with the issue of the generation and detection of damage by low-speed impact, which can be caused by contact with moving objects, due to improper handling or maintenance. The results of impact analysis simulations are shown in the context of strain-field distribution changes obtained with the help of digital image correlation. The results showed high agreement between the calculations and the experiments. Based on this agreement, simulations of impact damage for various energies were performed. These simulations were used to determine the approximate sizes of the affected zones in relation to the impact energy. The results are finally discussed in the context of the possible use of structural health monitoring based on strain modifications.
