...Wensong Yang; Assimina A. Pelegri A finite element method is employed to numerically evaluate the stiffness and energy absorption properties of an architecturally hybrid composite material consisting of unidirectional and random glass fiber layers. An ls-dyna finite element model of a composite...

... notched flexure test, in order to determine the energy required for the initiation and growth of an artificial crack. The materials used were made of two types of glass fiber weave ( 2 ∕ 2 Twill, 8H Satin) and a carbon fiber (8H Satin). The matrix was polyetherimide. The delamination energy of these two...
