Abstract
The modelling approach is used to simulate high energy impact on glass fabric reinforced epoxy components. In a first step, its applicability is verified based on experimental drop weight impact tests. To demonstrate an application, two configurations of a generic composite fan containment casing of a jet engine subjected to fan blade out are investigated. Detailed insight into the components' behaviour during the fan blade out event is gained. Eventually, conclusions drawn from such predictions contribute to improvements in the design of impact loaded composite components and help in reducing the experimental effort associated with their design.
