“…[4] [5]). Furthermore, recent advances [6] [7] in the modelling of composite materials provide an improvement over existing capabilities by allowing the macromechanical description of orthotropic constitutive behaviour, non-linear equation of state, orthotropic non-linear irreversible strain, and individual material plane interactive failure initiation criteria. Application of these new capabilities in modelling the hypervelocity impact of aluminium fragments on Aramid/epoxy plates [7] and aluminium projectiles on carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)/Aluminum honeycomb (HC) sandwich panels (SP) [8] has shown the ability to reproduce many of the damage phenomena observed in experiments.…”

Recent advances in the description of fibre-reinforced polymer composite material behaviour under extreme loading rates provide a significant extension in capabilities for numerical simulation of hypervelocity impact on composite satellite structures. Given the complexity of the material model, extensive material characterisation is required, however, as the properties of composite materials are commonly tailored for a specific application, experimental characterisation is not efficient, particularly in preliminary design phases. As such, a procedure is outlined in this paper that applies a number of commonly accepted composite mechanics and shock physics theories in conjunction with generalised material properties which allows for the theoretical derivation of a complete material data set for utilisation of the new modelling capabilities. The derivation procedure has been applied to a carbon fibre/epoxy laminate, and is validated through a comparison of derived material properties with experimentally characterised values and numerical simulation or damage induced by hypervelocity impact on a representative space debris shielding configuration employing the CFRP laminate. For the specific structures and impact conditions considered, application of the material property derivation procedure in place of experimental characterisation provided comparable accuracy in the prediction of damage induced by particles impacting at hypervelocity

“…In Refs [4][5][6][7], a non-linear orthotropic continuum material model was developed and implemented in a commercial hydrocode (i.e., ANSYS® AUTODYN®) for application with aramid and carbon fiber composites under hypervelocity impact. The non-linear orthotropic material model includes orthotropic coupling of the material volumetric and deviatoric responses, a non-linear equation of state (EoS), orthotropic hardening, combined stress failure criteria and orthotropic energy-based softening.…”

This work deals with numerical simulations of impact problems on fiber-based composite armor using the commercial finite-element-code ANSYS AUTODYN. Having presented some basic knowledge on the theory of numerical simulation in AUTODYN, two recently published approaches for modeling impact on the selected composite (Dyneema® HB26) are explained. Although both of them make use of a nonlinear-orthotropic material model implemented in the AUTODYN-code, they differ in the way how the highly inhomogeneous microstructure of HB26 is represented geometrically. Lässig chooses a fully homogeneous description, whereas Nguyen discretizes the composite into sublaminates, which are kinematically joined at the surfaces and breakable when a certain contact-stress is reached. In order to validate the two approaches, the response of HB26-samples impacted by handgun-projectiles was determined experimentally and compared to the corresponding numerical results. Unfortunately, a poor agreement between experimental and numerical results was found, which gave rise to the development of an alternative modeling approach. In doing so, the composite was subdivided into alternating layers of two different types. While the first type of layers was modeled with open-literature properties of UHMWPE-fibers, polymer-matrix-behavior was assigned to the second type. Having adjusted some of the parameters, good agreement between experiment and simulation was found with respect to residual velocity and depth of penetration for the considered impact situations.

“…Anderson (1994) presented a constitutive relationship for anisotropic materials, in which the coupling problem of the volumetric and deviatoric had been overcome. Hayhurst (1999), Clegg (2006) and et al implemented Anderson' approach and developed an advanced material model for Nextel and Kevlar/epoxy cloth. This model was based on smoothed-particle hydrodynamics (SPH) algorithm and used to predict the hypervelocity impact (HVI) behaviors of Nextel and Kevlar/epoxy cloth.…”

A numerical material model for composite laminate, was developed and integrated into the nonlinear dynamic explicit finite element programs as a material user subroutine. This model coupling nonlinear state of equation (EOS), was a macro-mechanics model, which was used to simulate the major mechanical behaviors of composite laminate under high-velocity impact conditions. The basic theoretical framework of the developed material model was introduced. An inverse flyer plate simulation was conducted, which demonstrated the advantage of the developed model in characterizing the nonlinear shock response. The developed model and its implementation were validated through a classic ballistic impact issue, i.e. projectile impacting on Kevlar29/Phenolic laminate. The failure modes and ballistic limit velocity were analyzed, and a good agreement was achieved when comparing with the analytical and experimental results. The computational capacity of this model, for Kevlar/Epoxy laminates with different architectures, i.e. plainwoven and cross-plied laminates, was further evaluated and the residual velocity curves and damage cone were accurately predicted.
