Reliable Computation of Contact Force in FRP Composite Laminates under Transverse Impact

A simple and computationally efficient adaptive finite element analysis strategy has been adopted for accurate and reliable evaluation of contact force under transverse impact. Contact of a spherical and cylindrical impactor on FRP composite laminates are considered. Adaptive mesh refinement enables...
