FEA of Dynamic Behavior of Top Hat Bonded Stiffened Composite Panel

Abstract:

In this work the dynamic responses of bonded top hat stiffened panel have been studied by using finite element analysis model (Abaqus). A symmetrical 2D model was performed and used in the simulations. In the first part, dynamic behavior and impact speed effects at such composite structure have been studied. In the second part, other simulations were carried out by using cohesive elements proposed to predict the delamination might happen under such loading.
