The buffering properties of honeycomb material are analyzed in the presented work. Theoretical analysis based on energy method is first presented, the buffering process of honeycomb material can be divided into three phases, honeycomb material can be equivalent to orthotropic material and the equivalent material properties are given. Being good at soil mechanics, Abaqus can simulate lunar soil very well. Using a constitutive model for honeycomb material, which is a built-in user material model, the presented work developed a honeycomb material simulation model and verified with a practical example. Now we can analysis the entire landing buffer process in Abaqus, which is a complement to existing analysis processes.

This study focuses on the flexural behavior of timber beams externally reinforced using carbon fiber-reinforced polymers (CFRP). Linear and non-linear finite element analysis were proposed and validated by experimental tests carried out on 44 timber beams to inversely determine the material properties of the timber and the CFRP. All the beams have the same geometrical properties and were loaded under four points bending. In this paper the general commercial software ANSYS was used, and three- and two-dimensional numerical models were evaluated for their ability to describe the behavior of the solid timber beams. The linear elastic orthotropic material model was assumed for the timber beams in the linear range and the 3D nonlinear rate-independent generalized anisotropic Hill potential model was assumed to describe the nonlinear behavior of the material. As for the CFRP, a linear elastic orthotropic material model was introduced for the fibers and a linear elastic isotropic model for the epoxy resin. No mechanical model was introduced to describe the interaction between the timber and the CFRP since failure occurred in the tensile zone of the wood. Simulated and measured load-mid-span deflection responses were compared and the material properties for timber-CFRP were numerically determined.

Abstract A polyconvex orthotropic material model is proposed for the simulation of tensile membrane structures. The notion of anisotropic metric tensors is employed in the formulation of the polyconvex orthotropic term which allows for the description of the interaction of the warp and fill yarns. The model is adjusted to the stress-strain paths of uni- and biaxial tensile tests of a woven fabric and the results are compared with the linear elastic model. The lateral contraction in the uniaxial loading case is taken into account to also capture the strong crosswise interactions. An increased number of load cycles is considered in the experiments to reach a saturated elastic state of the material. A new method is proposed enabling in principle the identification of unique (linear) stiffness parameters by previously identifying the (nonlinear) model parameters. Eventually, the proposed nonlinear model contains only 4 material parameters to be identified for the individual membrane material. Moreover, a new large-scale experimental setting is presented which allows for the validation of the proposed model response in real-life engineering applications. The numerical robustness of the model is tested in an advanced simulation of a large roof structure under application of realistic boundary conditions.
