Numerical Simulation on the Compression Property in Different Face Sheet of Sandwich Panel Combined with Aluminum Foam

Abstract:

Sandwich face sheets are very important roles in composite materials. It was simulated that the quasi-static compressive crush performances of three types of sandwich sheets by ANSYS/LS-DYNA software. The aluminum top panels (“half hard”) had the higher plateau stress and its absorption energy reached 20.483J/mm³, were superior to the steel top panel (“hard”); the bottom face sheet rarely affects the energy absorption properties in cases.
