Composite laminates have found extensive application in various industries, and numerous studies have been conducted to investigate their behavior in flat sheet configurations. The present study aims to extend this research by examining the behavior of convex composite specimens subjected to high velocity impact (HVI), and comparing their energy absorption and failure area to that of flat sheets made of glass fibers. Additionally, we seek to investigate the influence of curvature diameter on the energy absorption and fiber failure percentage of the composite specimens. Four series of composite laminates with distinct geometries, comprising a flat specimen and three convex composite specimens, were fabricated with nine layers each and diameters of 10, 15, and 20 cm. All specimens were fully clamped and subjected to empirical gas gun impact tests at three different velocities of 200, 250, and 300 m/s. The velocity values before and after the impact were measured using velocity sensors, and the energy absorption of the laminates was computed. Of the tested composite specimens, those with smaller diameters and greater curvature exhibited reduced fiber damage percentage and increased energy absorption. Compared to the flat specimens made of glass fibers, the convex specimens with a diameter of 10 cm exhibited an energy absorption increase of approximately 47%, while the specimens with diameters of 15 and 20 cm showed approximately energy absorption increases of 42% and 7%, respectively. The results were confirmed through simulation using finite element software ABAQUS/Explicit.Highlights Curved E‐glass laminates studied under high velocity impact which is done experimentally and numerically. Convexity increases energy absorption capacity of E‐glass reinforced epoxy composites. The results show that convexity can absorb more energy compared to flat panels. The damaged area of curved laminates are smaller than the flat one. The findings suggest that convexity can be a useful design feature for improving impact resistance in various applications.

The development of pulsed magnets capable of generating magnetic fields exceeding 100 Tesla has been recognized as a crucial pursuit for advancing the scientific research on high magnetic fields. However, the operation of magnets at ultra-high magnetic fields often leads to accidental failures at their ends, necessitating a comprehensive exploration of the underlying mechanisms. To this end, this study investigates, for the first time, the mechanical behaviors of Zylon fiber-reinforced polymers (ZFRPs) within pulsed magnets from a composite perspective. The study begins with mechanical testing of ZFRPs, followed by the development of its constitutive model, which incorporates the plasticity and progressive damage. Subsequently, in-depth analyses are performed on a 95-T double-coil prototype that experienced a failure. The outcomes reveal a notable reduction of approximately 45% in both the radial and axial stiffness of ZFRPs, and the primary reason for the failure is traced to the damage incurred by the end ZFRPs of the inner magnet. The projected failure field closely aligns with the experiment. Additionally, two other magnet systems, achieving 90.6 T and 94.88 T, are analyzed. Finally, the discussion delves into the impact of transverse mechanical strength of the reinforcement and axial Lorentz forces on the structural performance of magnets.

Accurate structural analyses of continuous fiber-reinforced polymers (FRPs) are imperative for diverse engineering applications, demanding efficient material constitutive models. Nonetheless, the constitutive modeling of FRPs is complicated by the nonlinear behavior resulting from internal damages and the inherent plasticity. Consequently, this study presents an innovative anisotropic constitutive model for FRPs, designed to adeptly capture both the damage evolution and plasticity. All requisite parameters can be easily obtained through fundamental mechanical tests, rendering the model practical and user-friendly. The model utilizes the three-dimensional Puck criteria to determine damages, initiating the evolution process through a combination of continuum damage mechanics and linear stiffness attenuation methods. This evolution is coupled with a one-parameter plastic model. Subsequently, the numerical implementation method, integrated into ANSYS, is detailed. This emphasizes the Cauchy stress and consistent tangent stiffness solution strategy. Finally, the effectiveness of the developed model is demonstrated through comprehensive verification, encompassing existing biaxial tension and open-hole-tension tests conducted on carbon and glass FRP laminates. The simulation results exhibit a remarkable correspondence with the experimental data, validating the reliability and accuracy of the proposed model.
