AB - The impact of electromagnetic forces induced by lightning current under  lightning-induced magnetic fields when lightning strikes to composite  laminates was analyzed systematically. The study especially focused on the  structural responses induced by electromagnetic forces, which result from  the interaction of conducting lightning currents within laminates and their  self-inductance magnetic fields. It was observed that the electromagnetic  forces predominantly influenced the structural responses in the vicinity of  the lightning attachment region, while its influence on the responses  distant from the lightning attachment region was minimal or negligible.  Otherwise, the structural responses of the composite laminates remained  exceedingly weak in comparison the mechanical properties of the laminates,  and thus, could not cause damage to the laminates.
