Set Up

Dent resistance of structures is one of the important design parameters to consider in automotive, aerospace, packaging and transportation of fragile goods, civil engineering and marine industries. It is important to study the dynamic impact response of various combinations of skin and core materials which can provide desired fracture toughness and highest strength to weight ratio for such applications. This paper discusses the low velocity impact response of sandwich structures having unique combination of mild steel as skin material bonded to thermoplastics/PU foam as core material. HDPE, LDPE and polypropylene were the choice of thermoplastics and an optimum combination of materials for the sandwich structure was evaluated using drop-weight experimental set up. It is observed that LDPE is the best choice of core material for the sandwich structures considered.

Numerical Predictions

Since composite sandwich structures are susceptible to low-velocity impact damage, a thorough characterization of the loading and damage process during impact is important. In the present paper, the low-velocity impact response of carbon fiber composites lattice structures are investigated by experimental and numerical methods. Impact tests on composite plates are performed using an instrumented drop-weight machine (Instron 9250HV) and a new damage mode is observed. A three-dimensional finite element model is built by ABAQUS/Explicit and user subroutine (VUMAT) to predict the peak loading and simulate the complicated damage problem. It can be found that numerical predictions coincide well with experimental results.
