Validation of a progressive failure prediction tool for a dynamically loaded three dimensional composite ship structure
conference paper
The application of complex fiber reinforced composite structures is increasing. This calls for
a better understanding of the behavior of these structures, including the propagation of
damage. In this research a secondary bondline failure model was developed as part of a
failure prediction tool. Validation against laboratory experiments of hat stiffened panels in
shock loading conditions showed good results. Also the application of the model in a large
scale ship structure demonstrator gave reasonable agreement with previous experiments
