OPTIMAL DESIGN OF CERAMIC/SANDWICH COMPOSITE STRUCTURES TO BETTER RESIST FOR AP PROJECTILE IMPACT

Sergei Sapozhnikov (South Ural State University) Galina A. Forental (South Ural State University)

 

The typical ceramic/composite personal protective structures now are monolithic. Splitting composite part into two different thickness plates we have designed optimal sandwich structure which has 20% less weight with the same AP resistance.

PREDICTION OF THE ENERGY ABSORPTION BEHAVIOUR OF LARGE COMPOSITE COMPONENTS SUBJECTED TO IMPACT LOADS – ASSESSMENT OF INDIVIDUAL MECHANISMS AT PLY SCALE

Martin Schwab (Vienna University of Technology) Heinz E. Pettermann (Vienna University of Technology)

 

An efficient modelling strategy for simulating impact on structural composite components is presented. Thereby, an embedding approach combined with shell element based discretisation allows to keep the computational effort within reasonable bounds.

STRUCTURAL OPTIMISATION OF A COMPOSITE AIRCRAFT FRAME FOR A CHARACTERISTIC RESPONSE CURVE

Lennart Weiß (German Aerospace Center) Hardy Köke (German Aerospace Center) Martin Schlueter (Hokkaido University) Christian Hühne (German Aerospace Center)

 

An heuristic optimisation technique for a desired dynamic response curve of CFRP z-frames used in aerospace applications is investigated. A mixed-integer distributed ant colony (MIDACO) algorithm was applied to identify dimensions and laminates.

TESTING OF CFRP AT HIGH STRAIN RATES WITH THE SPLIT HOPKINSON TENSION BAR - EVALUATION OF TESTING QUALITY

Hanna Paul (Fraunhofer EMI) Noah Ledford (Fraunhofer EMI) Richard Mohrmann (Fraunhofer EMI) Michael May (Fraunhofer EMI)

 

Split Hopkinson Tension Bars are used to test materials at high strain rates under tensile loading. An alternative mounting concept is presented. The quality of the test results is evaluated using FEM Simulations and comparing real test results.
