Abstract:

Based on continuum damage mechanics, a three-dimensional damage mechanics model was proposed to simulate low-velocity impact responses of composite laminated structures under the condition of dynamic. This model is capable to predict several possible in-plane failure modes (e.g., fibre tensile failure, fiber compressive failure, inter fiber tensile failure and inter fiber compressive failure) and interlaminar failure modes. Three-dimensional Puck failure criterion was used to conduct in-plane failure determination, and Aymerich failure criterion was used to conduct delamination failure determination. After damage initiation, linear-softening model was used to describe material properties' evolution process. In addition, the lamina's in-situ effect and structures' chain destruction were also taken into consideration. By using this model, a numerical example was finished. The final result shows that the predicted impact load, delamination shape and size have a relatively good agreement with Shi's experimental data. Therefore, the rationality and effectiveness of the developed numerical model for predicting low-velocity impact responses of composite laminated structures are shown.
