Abstract
In the present paper a numerical model for predicting the crushing behaviour of semi-hexagonal E-glass/polyester composite structures has been developed. Qualitative and quantitative analysis have shown that the results of the simulation are accurately predicted comparing with the experimental data. The peak force has been predicted with 7.5% of error while the mean force of the crushing process, the total amount of absorbed energy and the...
