Abstract
In this paper the onset of impact induced delaminations in stiffened composite panels is analysed by using an approach based on a threshold critical impact force. This approach is adopted in combination with geometrically non-linear finite element analyses in order to investigate the influence of the in-service loading conditions on the impact damage resistance of the composite panels. An application to a stiffened composite panel under compression is presented in order to point out the sensitivity of the impact damage resistance to the level of load. Finally, indications on a novel approach, able to take into account the non-linearity of the composite stiffened panels’ response, are given.
