A dynamic model of ballistic impact against ceramic/FRP (fibre-reinforced plastic) hybrid composites is presented in this paper. This model describes each status of the projectile and armour at different instants in the process of impact. Based on the Florence and low-velocity models, a three-phase impact theory is developed which forms a dynamic model. Equations are given for different impact phases to depict erosion, momentum and displacement of the projectile and target, which are then used by the computer to make calculations and simulations. Furthermore, the dynamic model has been checked to find agreement with ballistic tests. The dynamic model will be very helpful in the estimation of ballistic impact properties and optimum design of the ceramic/FRP hybrid composites.

The desire of weight reduction and improved damage tolerance characteristics of the aircraft structures throws a light on the development on Fiber Metal Laminates (FML), one of the hybrid composites, with the combination of metallic and non-metallic layers. In this study, laminates of alternating layers of aluminium (metal) and glass fibers with Woven Roving mat is fabricated. Tensile test based on ASTM standard are then conducted on the laminates to study their yield properties. The interfacial bonding between the layers are analyzed using the Scanning Electron Microscopy of tested specimens.

The lightweight potential of components made of fiber-reinforced plastic can be enhanced by use of sandwich composites. So far, limited dynamic properties of plastic-based foams have prevented the use of sandwich composites in machine applications. The combination of closed-cell aluminum foam (ALF) and carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) provides a solution to this obstacle. Aluminum foam is characterized by favorable damping properties with minimum weight and CFRP provides high strength and stiffness at similarly low density. This paper deals with the design of a hybrid sandwich composite and its interpretation by using customized FEM simulations.Producing this kind of a sandwich composite in an economic production process presents a major challenge. Thus, a method has been developed that prevents excessive penetration of the resin into the pores of the aluminum foam. A high volume fraction of the resin in the foamed sandwich core would increase density and negatively influence damping properties. The implementation of a barrier layer will avoid this penetration. A DoE was developed and RTM process parameters were varied with the objective of achieving the highest specific bending stiffness. In preliminary experiments the appropriate range of injection pressure, mold temperature, and pressure force was determined. Tests with a nonwoven fabric could prevent the resin from infiltrating into the aluminum foam. Mechanical properties of the sandwich composite are only marginally affected.A model was developed to calculate the obtainable sandwich composite properties. The calculation method considers both the characteristics of the aluminum foam and the CFRP anisotropy. Based on this model a reliable calculation of the applied load could be accomplished. The design of the sandwich composite was targeting at high stiffness and determination of the natural frequency. Parallel to calculations, tests on specimen were performed and the obtained results were included into the calculation as part of the material model.

Bonding Area

Hybrid composites in which a CR980 metal plate was bonded on carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) were prepared. Hybrid composites were two types of CFRP/CR980 hybrid composites and CR980/CFRP hybrid composites. The properties of the hybrid composites according to surface roughness on CR980 plate and the laminating number of CFRP prepregs were analyzed. The spring-back or spring-go angles were also measured through the V-bending test of hybrid composites. In addition, a three-point bending test for the hybrid composites was conducted to measure the flexural strength. Spring-back occurred in the CFRP/CR980 hybrid composites, while spring-go was observed in the CR980/CFRP hybrid composites. Voids were not found at the bonding area of the CFRP and CR980. As the roughness at the bonding area increased, the flexural strength slightly increased. The higher the laminating number of the CFRP prepregs, the lower the deformation value. CFRP/CR980 was deformed more easily than CR980/CFRP.

The Impact

In this work, the behaviour of thermoplastic composites and Shape Memory Alloy Hybrid Composites (SMAHCs) for aeronautical applications is analysed and compared by means of findings from numerical analyses and experimental tests. At first, experimental tests are performed by using a drop tower facility on both carbon fibre reinforced plastic samples and Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) samples hybridized with shape memory alloy materials. The materials properties and the different lower velocity impacts behaviours are simulated and validated by means of numerical models discretized in LS-Dyna explicit solver. For both configurations, the deformation mechanism for low intensity impacts, the absorbed energy, and the effect of rebounding upon the velocity change, and hence the amount of force, are investigated. Then, a configuration is prepared to withstand higher-energy impacts. Finally, the numerical analysis is extended for an innovative layup adapted on an aeronautical structure, which is subjected to the bird-strike phenomenon at 180 m/s and with an impacting mass of 1.8 kg according to the airworthiness requirements. In this study, SMAHCs are used to improve the composite impact response and energy absorption thanks to the superelastic effect.

The Impact

Fibre metal laminates are widely implemented in the aerospace industry owing to the merits of fatigue resistance and plastic properties. An effective defect assessment technique needs to be investigated for this type of composite materials. In order to achieve accurate impact-induced damage evaluation, a multi-excitation infrared fusion method is introduced in this study. Optical excitation thermography with high performance on revealing surface and subsurface defects is combined with vibro-thermography to improve the capability of detection on defects. Quantitative analysis is carried out on the temperature curve to assess the impact-induced deformation. A new image fusion framework including feature extraction, feature selection and fusion steps is proposed to fully utilize the information from two excitation modalities. Six fibre metal laminates which contain aluminium-basalt fibre reinforced plastic and aluminium-glass fibre reinforced plastic are investigated. Features from different perspectives are compared and selected via intensity contrast on deformation area for fusion imaging. Both types of defects (i.e., surface and sub-surface) and the internal deformation situation of these six samples are characterized clearly and intuitively.

Thermodynamic Framework

Volume is a highly regulated property of cells, because it critically affects intracellular concentration. In the present chapter, we focus on the short-term volume regulation in yeast as a consequence of a shift in extracellular osmotic conditions. We review a basic thermodynamic framework to model volume and solute flows. In addition, we try to select a model for turgor, which is an important hydrodynamic property, especially in walled cells. Finally, we demonstrate the validity of the presented approach by fitting the dynamic model to a time course of volume change upon osmotic shock in yeast.
