Abstract
Abstract The goal of this paper is to analyze the impact behavior among geometrically different sandwich panels shown upon impact velocities. Initially, composite model with aluminum honeycomb core and Kevlar (K29) face sheets is developed in ABAQUS/Explicit and different impact velocities are applied. Keeping other parameters constant, model is simulated with T800S/epoxy face sheets. Residual velocities, energy absorption (%), and maximum deformation depth is calculated for sandwich panel for both models at five different velocities by executing finite element analysis. Once the better material is found for face sheets, process is extended by varying the ratio of front face sheet thickness to back face sheet thickness keeping other geometrical parameters constant to find the better geometry. Also, comparison of impact responses of sandwich composite panel on different ratio of front face sheet thickness to back face sheet thickness is done and validated with other results available in literature.
