Abstract
There has been a predominant growth in the application of composite structures in the engineering fields, particularly in automobile and aerospace industries. This paper is concentrated on the finite element analysis of the low-velocity impact on composite laminates of unidirectional Glass/Epoxy and Carbon/Epoxy material with different ply orientations. The modeling, meshing and simulations are performed using the Finite Element Package-Abaqus/Explicit. Parameters like deflection and Contact force are studied under fixed boundary condition by varying the ply orientation in the models and maintained a constant angle between the consecutive plies in the plate. A good agreement is seen between the results of Glass/Epoxy and Carbon/Epoxy laminates and discussed.
