Abstract
This study systematically investigates the dynamic mechanical behavior of corrugated & flat rolling (CFR) titanium/steel composite plates under ballistic impact. A novel metric, the critical delamination velocity (), is introduced to assess the impact resistance of CFR titanium/steel composite plates. The research reveals that the position of impact on the corrugation interface curve significantly influences the failure modes. Detailed three-dimensional finite element simulations were performed to provide insights into the penetration process and energy absorption characteristics of the CFR titanium/steel composite plate, as well as the influence of the interfacial fracture toughness on impact performance. The numerical simulation reveals that the failure mode of flipped-cover possesses superior energy absorption efficiency compared to the shearing plug mode, primarily due to the enhanced plastic deformation. Furthermore, by varying the interfacial fracture toughness in the numerical model, it is demonstrated that increasing the fracture toughness can effectively reduce delamination and global plastic deformation. Additionally, the influence of interfacial geometry on mechanical response was systematically investigated by comparing the impact behavior of plates featuring corrugated and planar interfaces. The results indicate that the corrugated interface enhances the impact resistance of the composite plates by increasing the contact area and altering the failure modes.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
