Modeling of Low Energy, Low Velocity Impact Failure of a Honeycomb Sandwich Material

Abstract:

The current work is aimed at development of a numerical model able to describe complex damage phenomena that occur during an impact event in a sandwich structure having a honeycomb core. The complex material models employed within the research include linear-elastic and elasto-plastic material models having transverse isotropy as well as damage evolution models for both brittle failure and plastic failure. Within this paper remarks concerning the failure of the skins and core components as well as dissipated impact energy and affected regions are done.
