Multiple Impact Damage in GLARE Laminates: Experiments and Simulations

초록

Experiments and finite element simulations for multiple impact were performed on GLARE 5-2/1 and aluminum 2024-T3. Experiments were conducted on aluminum 2024-T3 and GLARE 5-2/1 at diverse impact energies to produce BVID (barely visible impact damage) and CVID (clearly visible impact damage). The finite element model was developed for multiple impact analysis using ABAQUS software and was confirmed by comparing the finite element analysis outcomes with experimental results. The two- and three-dimensional failure criteria model was applied to predict multiple impact behavior such as load-time history, maximum deflection-impact energy history, and damage progression. In addition, a user subroutine VUMAT was created to represent a three-dimensional progressive failure and was linked with ABAQUS. FEM results showed good agreement with experimental data.
