This project aims to investigate the design of a multi-layered sandwich composite and its performance under impact loading conditions. An experimental numerical assessment was performed conclude effect increasing layers panels. Three specimens four different panel configurations were manufactured be tested. The skin panels comprises twill carbon-reinforced epoxy resin, whereas core consists 2D Nomex honeycomb core. are then subjected transverse their behaviour. These results used verify...
Abstract Honeycomb structures are frequently used as energy absorption devices in the automotive and aerospace industry. Many studies have been conducted to optimise these improve crashworthiness behaviour. This paper attempts behaviour of a honeycomb crash box by filling cells with open-cell aluminium foams. Experimental tests were develop foam material model and, also, validate finite element experimental data. The was developed ABAQUS, different variables parameterised aim quick...
Robust finite element models are utilised for their ability to predict simple complex mechanical behaviour under certain conditions at a very low cost compared experimental studies, as this reduces the need physical prototypes while allowing optimisation of components. In paper, various parameters in techniques were reviewed simulate crushing glass/epoxy tubes with different material models, mesh sizes, failure trigger mechanisms, formulation, contact definitions, single and numbers shells...
Flax fibre-reinforced unsaturated polyester composite laminates were fabricated by vacuum bagging process and their impact post-impact responses investigated through experimental testing finite element simulations. Samples of 60 mm × 6.2 cut from the subjected to a low-velocity loading near perforation using hemispherical steel impactor at three different energy levels, 25, 27 29 Joules. Post-impact was employed obtain full penetration. The impacted plates modelled with various lay-ups...
Honeycomb crash absorbers are known as mechanical energy-absorbing systems in both automotive and aerospace industries. However, the gap of knowledge transverse impacts multi-foam-filled or stiffener-reinforced honeycombs is still unfilled. This paper investigates energy absorption process large boxes applied onto a road maintenance vehicle, exploring four aluminium honeycomb with design factors like added foam, corrugated sheet thicknesses, stiffener reinforcements. The optimised...
The present paper reviews crushing process of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRPs) composites tubular structures. Working with anisotropic material requires consideration specific parameter definition in order to tailor a well-engineered composite structure. These parameters include geometry design, strain rate sensitivity, properties, laminate interlaminar fracture toughness and off-axis loading conditions which are reviewed this create comprehensive data base for researchers, engineers...
Given the widespread usage of composite components in critical structures within aerospace and automotive industries, it is deemed as an essential task to determine effect normal operation phenomena on its performance impact. In particular, present study aims for providing developed analytical modelling techniques which are needed describing low velocity impact dynamic response sandwich laminated structures. Alongside models, experimentally validated high-fidelity numerical models used check...
This study investigates the influence of off-axis loading on fracture mechanism and specific energy absorption (SEA) glass/epoxy twill/weave composite box structures. In this regard, angles 5°, 10°, 20°, 30° direction with respect to axis is studied experimentally under quasi-static crushing process. At angle process behavior similar that axial mechanisms, such as bundle interlaminar crack propagation in Mode-II are observed. These characteristic brittle mode. For at an additional interwall...
