Global Journal of Research in Engineering

In recent years, breakthrough in the development of modelling techniques and impact analysis of composite materials subjected to high velocity has been made. The study methodically reviews the modelling techniques for the structural response of composite materials under high velocity. Although, report gives numerical model as widely used method, yet experimental test is always required to validate both analytical and finite element designs. The assessment shows that all modelling methods are suitable for application based on loading conditions of the composite structure. Lastly, the reference list provides databank for future researchers and engineers on composite structure subjected to high velocity impact.
