Analysis of aluminum-wood composite panels under high-velocity impact
Introduction Aluminum-wood composite panels are hybrid materials that combine the high strength and lightweight characteristics of aluminum with the natural energy absorption and aesthetic qualities of wood. These materials are increasingly used in sectors such as construction, transportation, and protective structures where both structural performance and impact resistance are critical. One area of growing interest […]
Analysis of a composite GLARE panel under air blast load
Analysis of a composite panel(CFRP-Ceramic-GFPP) under air blast load
Introduction: In modern engineering, multi-layer composite panels are widely used in defense, aerospace, and infrastructure due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, damage tolerance, and energy absorption capabilities. With increasing threats from blast and impact loading, it’s crucial to assess the performance of these panels under extreme dynamic conditions, such as an air blast explosion. This […]
Analysis and simulation of high-velocity impact on a Composite panel(CFRP-Aluminum foam-Aluminum honeycomb-CFRP)
This study presents a comprehensive finite element simulation of a high-velocity impact on a hybrid composite sandwich panel consisting of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) face sheets, an aluminum foam core, and an aluminum honeycomb mid-layer. The structural configuration aims to maximize energy absorption and minimize damage propagation under extreme dynamic loads. A spherical projectile […]
Finite element analysis on the air blast resistance of stiffened cylindrical tubular aluminum panel
Abstract Aluminum sandwich structures are widely used in modern engineering due to their lightweight, high stiffness, and energy absorption capabilities. These structures typically consist of two strong outer face sheets and a lightweight core (e.g., honeycomb, foam, or lattice). When subjected to air blast loads, such as those from explosions, these structures can help absorb […]
Air blast analysis of a composite panel made of CFRP facing and PET foam core
Introduction to Air Blast Analysis of CFRP-PET Foam Composite Panels 1. Background and Importance Composite sandwich structures, typically comprising Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) face sheets and a lightweight core such as Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) foam, are widely used in aerospace, automotive, and defense industries due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio, excellent energy absorption, and […]
Analysis of adhesively bonded cross-laminated timber-concrete composite under close blast explosion test
The increasing demand for sustainable and resilient building materials has driven the development of hybrid structural systems that combine the advantages of different materials. One such system is the cross-laminated timber–concrete (CLT–concrete) composite, which leverages the high stiffness and compressive strength of concrete with the lightweight, renewable, and ductile characteristics of cross-laminated timber (CLT). These […]
