The low and medium speed bird-strike impact damage of sandwich composite structure of drone radome during takeoff and landing is examined by numerical simulations, using nonlinear dynamic finite element analysis software LS-DYNA. For different impact velocities, the aircraft radome’s dynamic responses are obtained and the damage in composite panel is clearly demonstrated. The relations of impact energy, maximum impact force and the damage state are analyzed. The simulation results can provide some references for the aircraft radome design.

Recently, the development need of environmental and fuel efficient aircrafts has been emphasized as an eco-friendly requirement in response to high oil prices. Accordingly, it is necessary to develop the next-generation eco-friendly and high fuel efficiency engine technology to enhance the fuel efficiency and aerodynamic performance of aircrafts for the purpose of reducing carbon dioxide emission amount prior to collecting and dealing with air pollution substances being discharged. In this study, development of the turboprop propeller blade for turboprop engine including aerodynamic and structural design and analysis was performed. The proposed propeller will be used as a candidate propeller for a regional aircraft which has been developed in Korea. Because the propeller for the target aircraft must endure the high bending and twisting moment loads during the flight operation, the high stiffness and strength carbon/epoxy composite material is used as a major structure materials. As a design procedure for the present study, firstly the structural design load is estimated through the aerodynamic load case analysis, and then flanges of spars from major bending loads and the skin from shear loads are initially sized using both the netting rule and the rule of mixture. In order to investigate the structure safety and stability, the structure analysis is carried out by finite element analysis using commercial code, MSC. NASTRAN. In addition, because the propeller should be safe against the bird strike, the bird strike phenomenon is analyzed using a commercial code, ANSYS.

The present study investigates numerically the compressive residual strength of indented sandwich composite panel. The composite is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) face sheets and aluminum honeycomb core. The sandwich is loaded under quasi-static condition and along out-of-plane direction. A commercial finite element analysis software ABAQUS is used. The results show that the indented composite retains significant amount of strength after indentation. And, the post-indentation strength of the composite is about 65% its pre-indentation strength under compression.

In this work, study on impact damage FEM model of composite sandwich structure was performed. Sandwich structure configuration is made of carbon-epoxy face sheets and foam cores. From the finite element method analysis results of sandwich composite structure, it was confirmed that the results of analysis was reasonable. The velocity of impactor to initiate damage was estimated, and in order to investigate the damage at the predicted velocity, impact analysis using finite element method was performed. According to the impact analysis results of sandwich structure, it was confirmed that the damage was generated at the estimated impact velocity. Finally, the comparison of the numerical results with those measured by the experiment showed good agreement.

In this work the dynamic responses of bonded top hat stiffened panel have been studied by using finite element analysis model (Abaqus). A symmetrical 2D model was performed and used in the simulations. In the first part, dynamic behavior and impact speed effects at such composite structure have been studied. In the second part, other simulations were carried out by using cohesive elements proposed to predict the delamination might happen under such loading.

Al honeycomb core sandwich composite panels have different core and plate materials. The core is the Al honeycomb core, and the thin plate is GFRP sheets with fibers laminated in the 0°/90° symmetric structure. The Al honeycomb core sandwich composite panel is used for structures, which involve relatively high bending load. Before designing the structures, their stability is evaluated via the finite element analysis. In this study, an analysis method that is closest to the reality was proposed for designing the structures with Al honeycomb core sandwich composite panels. For that purpose, the modulus was reviewed. In the finite element analysis, the tensile modulus is generally used. In the results of this study, however, the tensile modulus led to significant deviations from the test results, whereas the bending modulus led to a closer value to the test results.
