Abstract
:
In this thesis, residual strength analysis of an E-Glass/polyester laminate was carried out for multiple impact loading. MAT_162 material model in LS-DYNA finite element code was used to model the constitutive behavior of the composite and material model parameters were determined using the results of the mechanical characterization. Experimental and numerical multiple loading were performed for two cases, namely Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and projectile impact testing device. Numerical models were simulated DYNAIN file method strategy in which a composite laminate was impacted multiple times, which was very close to the actual case. A numerical ballistic test model using conventional strategy (in the same simulation all the loads applied sequentially) was employed to check the accuracy of that using the proposed new methodology. After the first hit the SHPB results revealed that delamination occurred at the interface between the first and second layers. Following the second hit, delamination propagated along the inside layers of the composite and occurred at the interface between the eighth and ninth layer. As far as the bar responses concerned, the reflected pulse increased from zero to a maximum value then gradually decreased at the first impact. However, a sharp rise was seen in the reflected pulse of the second impact due to failure corresponding to catastrophic failure. In projectile impact tests, delamination was also found to be increased with the increasing number of hits at both front and back surfaces. Similar results were obtained for both DYNAIN and conventional strategies. It was concluded that simulations showed well agreement with experimental results.
