This paper describes the results of experiments and numerical simulation studies on the low-velocity impact damage of two different sandwich composite panels for application to bodyshell and floor structure of the BIMODAL tram vehicle. Square test samples of 100mm sides were subjected to low-velocity impact loading using an instrumented testing machine at four impact energy levels. Part of this work presented is focused on the finite element analysis of low-velocity impact response onto a sandwich composite panels. It is based on the application of explicit finite element (FE) analysis codes LS-DYNA 3D to study the impact response of sandwich structures under low-velocity impact conditions. Material testing was conducted to determine the input parameters for the metallic and composite material model, and the effective equivalent damage model for the orthotropic honeycomb materials. Numerical and experimental results showed a good agreement for damage area and the depth of indentation of sandwich composite panels created by the impact loading.

The purpose of this paper is to predict the shock absorbing characteristics of the aluminum honeycomb in a lunar lander. Aluminum honeycomb has been used for shock absorbers of lunar lander due to its characteristics such as light weight, high energy absorption efficiency and applicability under severe space environments. Crush strength of the honeycomb should have strength to endure during shock energy absorbing process. In this paper, the crush strength, which depends on the shape of honeycomb and impact velocity, is estimated using FEM. Ls-dyna is used for finite element analysis of the honeycomb shock absorber. The unit cells of the honeycomb shape are modeled and used for the finite element analysis. Energy absorption characteristics are decided considering several conditions such as impact velocity, foil thickness and branch angle of the honeycomb.

In this study, low velocity impact analysis on composite sandwich structure was performed. Sandwich structure configuration is made of Carbon-Epoxy face sheets and foam cores. For validating study, the results of an experimental and a finite element method analysis were compared previously. From the finite element method analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the results of analysis was reasonable. Impactor velocity to initiate damage was estimated, and in order to investigate the damage at the predicted velocity, impact analysis using finite element method was performed. According to the impact analysis results of sandwich panel, it was confirmed that the damage was generated at the estimated impact velocity. Finally, The comparison of the numerical results with those measured by the experiment showed good agreement.

뇌손상에 대한 원인설명으로써 소위 central theory를 들수 있다. 이 방법은 머리의 질량 중심에서 측정된 가속도를 이용한 HIC(Head Injury Criterion)의 값을 계산하여 이를 안전기준의 척도로 삼는 방법으로 이와 같은 해석에 따라 각 자동차 회사에서는 안전기구를 설계 제작하고 있다. 그러나 실제 임상적으로 HIC의 상관관계는 뚜렷하지 못하다. 이런 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 하나의 대안으로써 유한요소모델을 이용한 해석방법을 들 수가 있다. 이 글에서는 뇌의 간략한 해부학적인 해설과 아울러 뇌의 3차원 유한 요소 모델을 이용한 해석방법을 소개하고자 한다.

In this study, finite element analysis of Carbon-Steel Laminates with different layup pattern was conducted to verify similarity to the results of previous studies and to develop the effective model for low-velocity impact analysis. As in the experiment, Finite element analysis of the Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) with five different lamination patterns was carried out, and the impact resistance of the FMLs was confirmed by comparing the energy absorption ratio. The FMLs showed the higher energy absorption ratio than the mild steel having the same thickness, and it was confirmed that all the FMLs had the high energy absorption ratio over than 96%. In addition, the low-velocity impact analysis model proposed in this study can be effectively used to study composite forms and automotive structures.

본 연구에서는 종이 충격흡수의 효율적인 기하형상이 연구되었다. 일반적으로 충격흡수재는 골판지, 스폰지, 종이, 고무등으로 제작된다. 에너지 흡수거동에 대한 종이 충격 흡수재의 보강형태, 크기., 재료 특성에 대한 영향이 ABAQUS/Explicit5.5에 의한 유한요소 해석과 미끄럼 충격시험을 통해 연구되었다. 종이 충격 흡수재의 최대 변위는 충격속도에 따라 증가하며, 내부단수에 따라 감소하였다. 충격이력 특성은 내부단수가 7단일 때 5 msee까지 급속히 변형되며, 그 이후에는 영구변형으로 존재한다.

A theoretical attempt is made to analyze the dynamic contact force and response of laminated composite beams subjected to the transverse impact of steel balls. A beam finite element model based on the modified theory for laminated composites in conjunction with static contact laws is formulated for the theoretical investigation. Finally, it is shown that the present results are in good agreement with some existing solutions or wave propagation theory.

Failure of Kevlar29/Phenolic composite plate under high velocity impact of FSP(Fragment Simulation Projectile) is investigated using a non-linear explicit finite element code, LS-DYNA. Composite laminate and impactor are idealized by solid element and interface between laminas are modeled by tied-break element in LS-DYNA. Interaction between impactor and laminate is simulated face-to-face eroding contact algorithm. When the stress level meets a failure criteria, the layer in the element is eroded. Numerical results are verified by existing test results.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact response behaviors of glass/epoxy laminated composite plates subjected to the transversely impact of a steel ball. For this purpose, dynamic finite element analysis based on the higher-order shear defomation plate theory is used to compute the contact forces, rebound velocity of a steel ball, and dynamic strain response histories. And low-velocity and high-velocity impact experiments were conducted to compare the results and compute the wave propagation velocities. The results obtained from impact experiments are in good agreement with those of dynamic finite element analysis. Also the wave propagation velocities obtained from high-velocity impact experiments and wave propagation theory agree well, and wave velocities were higher in the smaller radius of steel ball.
