Abstract: High-energy blunt impact acting over a wide area or affecting a
large number of structural elements is a major topic of concern for modern
composite aircraft structures since severe events can occur and yet
remain visually undetectable, even when significant internal damage to the

structure has been created. This is largely due to the modern composite
aircraft structures being constructed with resilient high-strength compos-
