Abstract
A dynamic crash model is developed and implemented to model the failure behavior and energy absorption of braided composite structures. Part I describes the development and theoretical foundation of a viscoplastic material model that captures the rate-dependent behavior present in braided composite materials. Part II presents the implementation of the model into a FEM program and contains experimental results for tubes crushed from quasi-static...
