The invention discloses a method for assessing residual intensities of 
composite material structures with low-speed 
impact damage. The method comprises six steps of: 1, obtaining a curve relationship between 
impact energy and damage characteristic parameters through low-speed 
impact test results; 2, obtaining a maximum 
contact force and a maximum pit depth under corresponding 
impact energy by adoption of an impact damage theory; 3, establishing a low-speed impact progressive damage finite 
element model; 4, correcting the low-speed impact progressive damage finite 
element model; 5, establishing a residual intensity finite 
element model with impact damage; and 6, solving the residual intensity finite element model with the impact damage to obtain a residual intensity value. According to the method disclosed by the invention, 
finite element simulation is applied to impact damage models, and the 
impact test results and the impact damage theory are combined, so that the accurate 
simulation for damage states, the accurate building of finite element models with initial impact damage and the continuity of assessment processes are realized, and a relatively high practical value is provided.
