The results of an extensive experimental programme on local loading of composite pipes are presented. Particular attention is directed to the influence of projectile nose shape on the damage tolerance of the pipes. Both filament wound pipes and lined chopped-strand mat pipes are considered.

The Impact

The paper describes the application of a 3D finite element model for prediction of impact induced damage in sandwich composites consisting of laminated skins bonded to a closed cell foam core. The major damage and fracture mechanisms typically developing in transversally loaded sandwich composites were simulated in the model. The model was implemented in the FE package ABAQUS/Explicit and used to predict the impact damage resistance of sandwich panels with different core densities, core thicknesses, and skins layups. Numerical results obtained by FE simulations were compared with experimental data and observations collected through impact tests carried out at various impact energies.

Delamination Area

The development characteristics of impact-induced damage in carbon-fiber-reinforcedplastics (CFRP) laminates were experimentally studied using a drop-weight impact tester. Five types of CFRP laminates were used to investigate the effect of stacking sequences and thicknesses. The efficiency of absorbed energy to impact energy was different for CFRP laminates with different stacking sequences or thicknesses. The DA/AE ratio of delamination area (DA) to absorbed energy (AE) was almost the same for CFRP laminates with the same stacking sequence regardless of the thickness. We found that the DA/AE ratio could be used as a parameter to characterize the impact damage resistance in CFRP laminates with different stacking sequences.
