Multiscale modelling approach for simulating low velocity impact tests of aramid-epoxy composite with nanofillers

The addition of nanofillers to composites has attracted great attention since it adds multifunctional potential. However, the presence of nanofillers inside a composite may cause a more complex response in many situations, e.g. damage accumulation processes, and this response poses extra challenges in the development of reliable numerical approaches. In this work, a three-step multiscale modelling strategy was used to investigate the mechanical...
