Dynamic Response of Aluminum-Alloy Plates Subjected to Repeated Impacts

Effects of impact location on the dynamic response of repeatedly impacted aluminum alloy plates

“…[23]. Details on the comparison of the numerical results and test results were given in the previous study [23]. It can thus be concluded that the current numerical model can simulate similar repeated impact problems on aluminum alloy plates.…”

“…The FE modelling techniques introduced herein have satisfactorily predicted the damage extent of the fully fi xed unstiff ened aluminum plates under repeated mass impact provided in Ref. [23]. Details on the comparison of the numerical results and test results were given in the previous study [23].…”

“…In those studies, the dynamic response and failure patterns of the aluminum beam/plate due to single impact loading that may diff er from actual impact scenarios, were explored. For the repeated impact loadings, although there are extensive investigations on the behavior of steel beams and plates [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22], few studies for aluminum structures have been investigated yet [10,11,19,23]. Zhu and Faulkner [10] studied several repeated impact tests on mild steel and aluminum plates to investigate the response of the repeatedly impacted plates.…”

“…[10]. Recently, Truong et al [23] numerically investigated the dynamic response of aluminum alloy plates to repeated mass impacts for various impact energies.…”
