Carbon/Phenolic (C/P), a typical anisotropic material, is an important component of aerospace and often used to protect the thermodynamic effects of strong X-ray radiation. In this paper, we establish the anisotropic elastic-plastic constitutive model, which is embedded in the in-house code “RAMA” to simulate a two-dimensional thermal shock wave induced by X-ray. Then, we compare the numerical simulation results with the thermal shock wave stress generated by the same strong current electron beam via experiment to verify the correctness of the numerical simulation. Subsequently, we discuss and analyze the rules of thermal shock wave propagation in C/P material by further numerical simulation. The results reveal that the thermal shock wave represents different shapes and mechanisms by the radiation of 1 keV and 3 keV X-rays. The vaporization recoil phenomenon appears as a compression wave under 1 keV X-ray irradiation, and X-ray penetration is caused by thermal deformation under 3 keV X-ray irradiation. The thermal shock wave propagation exhibits two-dimensional characteristics, the energy deposition of 1 keV and 3 keV both decays exponentially, the energy deposition of 1 keV-peak soft X-ray is high, and the deposition depth is shallow, while the energy deposition of 3 keV-peak hard X-ray is low, and the deposition depth is deep. RAMA can successfully realize two-dimensional orthotropic elastoplastic constitutive relation, the corresponding program was designed and checked, and the calculation results for inspection are consistent with the theory. This study has great significance in the evaluation of anisotropic material protection under the radiation of intense X-rays.
