Composite Analysis and Simulation Package
Introduction to Composite Material Analysis and Simulation Composite materials are engineered by combining two or more constituent materials with different physical and chemical properties to achieve superior performance compared to their individual components. Typically, composites consist of a matrix material (such as a polymer, metal, or ceramic) reinforced with fibers or particles (such as carbon, […]
High-velocity impact analysis of the composite sandwich panels with GFRP faces and an aluminum foam core
Composite sandwich panels are widely used in aerospace, automotive, marine, and protective structures due to their exceptional stiffness-to-weight ratio, energy absorption capability, and structural efficiency. A typical sandwich configuration consists of two high-strength face sheets bonded to a lightweight core, enabling the panel to carry bending loads efficiently while minimizing mass. Among various material combinations, […]
High-velocity impact simulation of Rubber-Toughened Poly Methyl Methacrylate (RT-PMMA) reinforced with CFRP
RT-PMMA/CFRP High-Velocity Impact Simulation Rubber-toughened poly(methyl methacrylate) (RT-PMMA) reinforced with carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) is an advanced hybrid material system designed to combine the optical clarity, lightweight characteristics, and strain-rate sensitivity of PMMA with the high specific strength and stiffness of carbon-fiber composites. Such hybrids have growing relevance in engineering applications that demand excellent impact resistance—such […]
Impact analysis of the CFRP/PEEK/ceramic/gelatin composite for finding behind the armor trauma
Impact analysis of the CFRP/PEEK/Ceramic composite for finding behind the armor trauma In this tutorial, the impact analysis of a CFRP/PEEK/ceramic/gelatin composite panel for evaluating behind-armor trauma (BAT) has been carried out in Abaqus. The carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is modeled as a three-dimensional shell part with elastic layers and Hashin’s damage criterion to […]
Numerical analysis of the CFRP blanket effect on reducing the deformation of pipelines in soil exposed to the Coupled Eulerian-Lagrangian subsurface explosion
Introduction Pipelines are critical infrastructures for the transportation of oil, gas, and other essential resources. Among these, API 5L X65 grade steel pipelines are commonly used due to their strength and cost-efficiency. However, pipelines buried in soil are vulnerable to extreme events such as subsurface explosions, which may result from accidental or intentional detonations. These […]
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 the blast protection wall system( wood cover-soil)
Terrorism has become a major challenge for the world. Terrorist organizations have raised their activities and their attacks in recent years using explosives. These attacks have left numerous numbers of victims, wreaked massive havoc on basic infrastructure, and increased global concern about the nature of these attacks. Blast wall protection systems can provide a required […]
Analysis of the laced reinforced concrete with wood cover under air blast load
Introduction The structural performance of buildings and protective systems under extreme loading conditions, such as air blast loads, has become an area of critical interest, particularly for infrastructure security, military applications, and high-risk industrial facilities. One innovative solution to enhance the blast resistance of concrete structures is the use of laced reinforced concrete (LRC) combined […]
Analysis of Shearing Capacity of the UHPC Beam Reinforced with Carbon Fiber Truss
Carbon Fiber Truss Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is a next-generation concrete known for its exceptional compressive strength, low porosity, and high durability. Despite these advantages, UHPC beams can still experience shear failure, particularly because UHPC, like traditional concrete, has relatively low tensile strength and can be brittle in shear-dominant regions. To address this, the study […]
