Abaqus Tutorial:Modeling of Low velocity impact on composite structure with Hashin failure criteria

[@ZiemzyOG]

Perfect timing, I was just pondering this experiment and glad someone else was interested in this too. Great video!

I did have a question though, when look at a different lamina material. Where does one fine all those properties for the Hashin Failure criterion like Damage evolution and damage stabilization?

Great video

Hey where can I find a technical data sheet regarding the mechanical properties of the T300/M18 carbon fiber material you used for this simulation? thanks!

I would suggest to take more care of material density when dealing with explicit analysis. The value used in the video is outside of all typical values for that composite, and in this case it's greater than alluminium. Then all energy plots are meaningless if the mass is not correctly calculated.
