Glass analysis package in Abaqus
Introduction to Glass Analysis and Simulation Using the Johnson-Holmquist Model in Abaqus Glass is a brittle material widely used in defense, automotive, civil, and aerospace engineering due to its transparency, hardness, and relatively low density. However, its failure behavior under dynamic loading, such as high-velocity impacts, differs significantly from metals or polymers. Unlike ductile materials, […]
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 high-low velocity impact response of GLAREs
Introduction In modern aerospace engineering and defense industries, impact resistance of materials is a critical factor in ensuring structural safety and durability. One class of materials that has gained significant attention for its superior impact performance is GLARE (Glass Laminate Aluminum Reinforced Epoxy). GLARE is a type of Fiber Metal Laminate (FML) that combines aluminum […]
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 […]
