Numerical simulation of high‐velocity impact on fiber‐reinforced composites using MAT_162

MAT_162 is an enhanced material model for fiber-reinforced composites implemented in the software LS-DYNA, which considers different failure modes in tension, compression, and shear, with a progressive failure model. It takes into account the strain rate sensitivity of the strength and moduli properties using a logarithmic function. This material model is commonly used in the literature for modeling glass fiber-reinforced composites while only a...
