Abstract
The low velocity impact behavior of composites made of polyamide (PA) as matrix and glass fibre as reinforcement has been investigated. The assessment of the impact behavior has driven the need to perform tensile tests to determine the elasto-plastic behavior of the composites. The specimens were manufactured by injection molding techniques for the experimental tensile testing. ABAQUS/EXPLICIT for finite element modeling is employed in order to predict the impact behavior of glass fibre-reinforced polyamide. The determinations of the impact force history and elasto-plastic structure deflection are the most important objectives in impact engineering structures design.
