The dynamic response of composite beams to axial impactLarge deformation response of simple composite structural elements to intense dynamic loadings is studied by focusing on the response of beams. Overall goals are to: design a simple test fixture to introduce crash related bending loads in beams; determine any difference between large deformation static and large deformation dynamic response; determine the influence of laminate stacking arrangements on the dynamic response, failure mode, and energy absorbed; and predict the dynamic response. Twelve different laminate orientations were investigated. Modeling of the response was done with an existing finite element program. The program computed nonlinear transient response analysis of a structure objected to a time varying load.
