Damage Patterns of the Hexagonal Aluminum Honeycomb Sandwich Plate Subjected to Fragment Impact

Abstract:

In this paper, the damage patterns of the hexagonal aluminum honeycomb sandwich plate subjected to normal and oblique impact by spherical, cylindrical and cubic fragments at different velocities are simulated using LS-DYNA code. The damage patterns of the sandwich plate and the energy loss ratio of fragment are acquired. In normal and oblique impact for different shapes of the fragment, the damage patterns of the sandwich plate include the plastic deformation, the fracture and the perforation of the face sheet and the tearing of the core or the combination of them. The curve of energy loss ratio waves with the velocity of fragment. And the peak point at the curve of energy loss ratio versus the velocity of fragment denotes the limit velocity of fragment. Furthermore, the energy loss ratios of fragments in oblique impact at the velocity of 500 m•s-1 with the angle of impact of 5°, 10°, 15° and 20° are obtained. The results denote that a fragment with large ratio of length to diameter is easy to perforate the sandwich plate both in normal and oblique impact.
