In this paper, both experimental tests and numerical simulations of Polyvinyl Butyral (PVB) laminated glass pane under low-speed impact were carried out. In order to accurately predict the responses of annealed glass under low-speed impact, a constitutive model combined of the Taylor–Chen–Kuszmaul (TCK) model and the Johnson-Holmquist Ceramic (JH2) model is proposed. In order to describe the tensile damage characteristic of annealed glass, a rate-dependent TCK model is employed. The JH2 model is adopted when the glass material is under compression. The velocity and force of impactor, deflection of central point of glass pane, and the cracking pattern are studied to verify the combined TCK-JH2 model. Furthermore, the effects of the thickness of glass layer and PVB interlayer are investigated.

Progressive Damage Model

Abstract A progressive damage model was presented for carbon fiber woven composites under low velocity impact, considering the strain rate sensitivity of both mechanical properties and failure mechanisms. In this model, strain rate dependency of elastic modulus and nominal strength along in-plane direction are considered. Based on the Weibull distribution, stiffness progressive degradation is conducted by introducing strain rate dependent damage variables for distinct damage modes. With the model implemented in ABAQUS/Explicit via user-defined material subroutine (VUMAT), the mechanical behavior and possible damage modes of composites along in-plane direction can be determined. Furthermore, a bilinear traction separation model and a quadratic stress criterion are applied to predict the initiation and evolution of interlaminar delamination. Comparisons are made between the experimental results and numerical simulations. It is shown that the mechanical response and damage characteristics under low velocity impact, such as contact force history and delamination, are more consistent with the experimental results when taken the strain rate effect into consideration.

Sandwich panels have proven to be excellent energy absorbents. Such panels may be used as a protective structure in, for example, façades subjected to explosions. In this study, the dynamic response of sandwich structures subjected to blast loading has been investigated both experimentally and numerically, utilizing a shock tube facility. Sandwich panels made of aluminium skins and a core of extruded polystyrene (XPS) with different densities were subjected to various blast load intensities. Low-velocity impact tests on XPS samples were also conducted for validation and calibration of a viscoplastic extension of the Deshpande-Fleck crushable foam model. The experimental results revealed a significant increase in blast load mitigation for sandwich panels compared to skins without a foam core, and that the back-skin deformation and the core compression correlated with the foam density. Numerical models of the shock tube tests were created using LS-DYNA, incorporating the new viscoplastic formulation of the foam material. The numerical models were able to capture the trends observed in the experimental tests, and good quantitative agreement between the experimental and predicted responses was in general obtained. One aim of this study is to provide high-precision experimental data, combined with a validated numerical modelling strategy, that can be used in simulation-based optimisation of sandwich panels exposed to blast loading.

The aim of present work is to study the influence of the plate’s size on low velocity impact on carbon-fibre-reinforced epoxy laminates. Experimental tests were performed on [04,904]s laminates, using a drop weight-testing machine. Circular, square and rectangular plates were tested under low velocity impacts using a hemispherical impactor with 20 mm diameter and 3 J impact energies. The impacted plates were inspected by X-radiography. Numerical simulations were also performed considering interface finite elements compatible with three-dimensional solid elements, which allows to model delamination onset and growth between layers. The results showed that the plate’s size has influence on the delaminated area. Good agreement between experimental and numerical analysis for shape, orientation and size of the delaminations was obtained.

AbstractThe paper refers the general idea of composite materials especially Fiber Metal Laminates (FMLs) with respect to low-velocity impact incidents. This phenomenon was characterized by basic parameters and energy dissipation mechanisms. Further considerations are matched with analytical procedures with reference to linearized spring-mass models, impact characteristics divided into energy correlations (global flexure, delamination, tensile fracture and petaling absorbed energies) and set of motion second order differential equations. Experimental tests were based on analytical solutions for different types of FML - GLARE type plates and were held in accordance to ASTM standards. The structure model reveals plenty of dependences related to strain rate effect, deflection represented by the correlations among plate and intender deformation, separate flexure characteristics for aluminium and composite, contact definition based on intender end-radius shape stress analysis supported by FSDT, von Karman strains as well as CLT. Failure criteria were conformed to layers specifications with respect to von Misses stress-strain criterion for aluminium matched with Tsai-Hill or Puck criterion for unidirectional laminate. At the final stage numerical simulation were made in FEM programs such as ABAQUS and ANSYS. Future prospects were based on the experiments held over 3D-fiberglass (3DFG) FMLs with magnesium alloy layers which covers more favorable mechanical properties than FMLs.

The Impact

The aim of present work is to study the influence of the impactor diameter and boundary conditions on low velocity impact on carbon-fibre-reinforced epoxy laminates. Experimental tests were performed on [04,904]s laminates, using a drop weight-testing machine. Circular plates were tested under low velocity impacts for two diameters of the hemispherical impactor, 12.7 mm and 20 mm, and considering similar impact energies, 2.6 J for the first impactor and 3 J for the second one. Rectangular and square plates were analysed under low velocity impacts with different boundary conditions. The impacted plates were inspected by X-radiography. Numerical simulations were also performed considering interface finite elements compatible with three-dimensional solid elements including a cohesive mixed-mode damage model, which allows to model delamination between layers. The impact tests showed that both the impactor’s diameter and boundary conditions have influence on the delaminated area. Good agreement between experimental and numerical analysis for shape, orientation and size of damage was obtained.
