Polymer and Metal Foam Analysis Package in Abaqus

Polymer and Metal Foam Analysis Package

Introduction to Polymer and Metal Foam Analysis 1. Metal and Polymer foam PolymersPolymers are long-chain molecules with diverse mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties. They are widely used in structural, biomedical, and automotive applications due to their light weight, flexibility, and tunable behavior (elastic, viscoelastic, or plastic). Metal FoamsMetal foams are lightweight, porous structures created by […]

Analysis and simulation of high-velocity impact on a Composite panel(CFRP-Aluminum foam-Aluminum honeycomb-CFRP)

Finite element simulation of high-velocity impact on CFRP–Aluminum foam–honeycomb composite panel in Abaqus High-velocity impact simulation

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 […]

Air blast analysis of a composite panel made of CFRP facing and PET foam core

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 […]
