Effect of thickness-to-radius ratio on the impact response of fabric-reinforced composite shells
This study analyses the effect of thickness-to-radius (t/R) ratio on the dynamic response of fabric-reinforced composite shells subjected to low-velocity impact loads using 3D finite element models validated by experimental results. Focus is given to the t/R ratio's influence on energy dissipation and damage modes. For thick-walled shells (t/R > 0.05) the peak force and contact time increases as the curvature decreases (i.e., with a larger radius), while the maximum displacement decreases. On the other hand, thin-walled shells (t/R < 0.05) exhibit lower peak forces, larger displacements, and longer contact times as the curvature decreases. This transition indicates the existence of a critical point around the radius of 50 mm (t/R = 0.05). The main mechanism for energy dissipation in thick-walled shells is intralaminar damage, and its contribution decreases with increasing radius, whereas for thin-walled shells, friction and delamination determine the absorption of impact energy. In terms of damage propagation patterns, thick-walled shells show localized intra- and interlaminar damage, while thin-walled shells evidence a cross-like intralaminar pattern with more extensive delamination.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
