Abstract

Aluminium foam and Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) are widely used composite materials in automobile industries due to the benefits of lightweight and energy absorption capacity. Therefore, in this study, the numerical crashworthiness analysis of 2014 Aluminium-SiCp (2014AA-SiCp) foam filled in CFRP tube has been performed under impact loading. Quasi-static compression tests have been conducted on 2014AA-SiCp foam to extract the mechanical parameters required for numerical simulations. To understand the crushing behavior under the axial impact loading, 2014AA-SiCp foam-filled CFRP tube has been numerically modelled using ABAQUS® software. The parametric study was carried out to explore the effects of filler material, foam densities, and impact velocities on crushing behavior. It was found that load increases with the rise in foam density and impact velocity. Moreover, the deformation increases with the increase in impact velocity. Results showed that the load carrying capacity of foam filled CFRP tubes was significantly improved compared to that of empty CFRP tubes. The foam filled CFRP specimens exhibited peak load of 122 kN and an energy absorption capacity of 3012 J, showcasing an approximate improvement of 43% and 11% respectively, over the values obtained for empty CFRP tubes.

2014 年铝碳化硅粒子（SiCp）泡沫填充碳纤维增强塑料（CFRP）管在冲击载荷下的耐撞性数值分析

泡沫铝和碳纤维增强塑料（CFRP）具有轻量化和能量吸收能力强等优点，是汽车行业广泛使用的复合材料。因此，本研究对填充在 CFRP 管中的 2014 年铝硅复合材料（2014AA-SiCp）进行了冲击载荷下的耐撞性数值分析。对 2014AA-SiCp 泡沫进行了准静态压缩试验，以提取数值模拟所需的力学参数。为了解轴向冲击载荷下的挤压行为，使用 ABAQUS® 软件对 2014AA-SiCp 泡沫填充 CFRP 管进行了数值模拟。参数研究旨在探索填充材料、泡沫密度和冲击速度对挤压行为的影响。研究发现，载荷随着泡沫密度和冲击速度的增加而增加。此外，变形也随着冲击速度的增加而增大。结果表明，与空的 CFRP 管相比，填充泡沫的 CFRP 管的承载能力明显提高。填充泡沫的 CFRP 试样的峰值载荷为 122 kN，能量吸收能力为 3012 J，与空 CFRP 管的数值相比，分别提高了约 43% 和 11%。
