FEM simulation of simply supported GLARE plates under lateral indentation loading and unloading

•The permanent dent depth of GLARE plates increases for increasing indentation.•The unloading curves of a GLARE plate under indention are approximately parallel.•A graphical method to obtain unloading curves of GLARE plates is proposed.•As the MVF of a GLARE plate decreases, the unloading path decre...
