A high-fidelity finite element model is constructed to simulate the low-velocity line-impact experiments conducted by Bozkurt and Coker on [05/903]s CFRP beams. The simulations utilize a user-implemented three-dimensional continuum damage model with the LaRC05 criterion for matrix cracking, and a built-in cohesive zone model for delamination in ABAQUS/Explicit. The significant influence of boundary supports on the global impact response leads to proposing a heuristic boundary conditions approach using spring elements that replicate the experiment boundaries. Results then demonstrated an excellent agreement with the experiments in terms of the global impact response, the strain field, and damage pattern and sequence. Simulations reveal intersonic delamination with crack tip speeds around ∼5000 m/s, while the experimental crack speeds were measured as sub-Rayleigh speeds reaching ∼1000 m/s. When a crack tip definition based on the crack tip opening is introduced in the simulations, crack tip speeds in the range of 490–1500 m/s are measured which are within the range of experimental speeds, suggesting that the sliding mode might be physically hidden in the experiments. The potential use of delamination crack tip speeds as a benchmark for refining numerical simulations is demonstrated by increasing the effective interface toughness leading to a decrease in crack tip speeds with no noticeable effect on the global responses.
