Abstract
Hail impact has been a long lasting threat for aircraft structures such as leading edges and forward sections. To mimic the physical process of hail impact on aircraft structures, a FEM model is established for all-metal sandwich structures having four different kinds of cores: corrugated core, pyramidal lattice core, metal foam core, and corrugation-foam hybrid core. Smoothed particle hydrodynamic (SPH) method is employed to predict the failure behavior of the hail, whilst the sandwich structures are described by a Lagrangian reference configuration. It is demonstrated that the sandwich structures with hybrid core outperforms the other three types for withstanding hail penetration as well as absorbing impact energy.
