Low-speed impact damage analysis of aviation composite material structure

Abstract

Although the carbon fiber reinforced composite material has high specific strength and stiffness, design-versatility, anti-corrosion and other excellent features, but the impact resistance of composite structures is poor. Therefore, the composite laminates low-speed damage analysis has important significance. Based on a three-dimensional analysis theory of cumulative damage, using the commercial finite element analysis software ABAQUS to establish laminates subjected to low velocity impact finite element model. according to the numerical results and the consistency of the test results, shows that the used model of the article is reasonable and accurate, and the numerical simulation method is verified to be feasible. Finally, through the numerical simulation of process of laminated plates low speed impact damage, the damage characteristics and damage mechanism of the laminates at different times are analyzed, and the forming reasons and expanding rules of the main damage forms of fiber damage and matrix damage are revealed.
