Abstract
A numerical method based on contact algorithms is developed for 3D delamination modelling in composites subjected to impact loading. Composite plies are modelled with discrete/finite elements and the interlaminar behaviour of plies is considered using combination of a bilinear strain-softening model and the Penalty method. A numerical example is investigated to assess the ability of the method.
