Ballistic behavior of bionic UHMWPE laminates with double-helicoidal lay-ups
Inspired by the double-helical structure of coelacanth scales, the bio-inspired double-helicoidal UHMWPE laminates with helicoidal fiber architectures were designed and fabricated. A combined experimental and numerical simulation approach was employed to investigate the ballistic response of these biomimetic laminates under high-impact velocities. The damage patterns and failure mechanisms of laminates with different pitch angles were systematically identified and analyzed. The increased pitch angle was found to constrain the indirect tensile mechanisms and bulging deformation of the laminate, leading to severe ply splitting on the rear surface. The effects of interfacial strength in the bio-inspired laminates and projectile nose shape on ballistic performance were comprehensively elucidated. The results revealed that the cross-ply configuration exhibited superior ballistic performance against flat-nosed projectiles. However, under conditions of reduced interlayer strength or hemispherical-nosed projectile impacts, laminates with smaller pitch angles demonstrated significantly enhanced ballistic resistance.
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.
