By building up a debugging method about material parameters of concrete impact damage model based on DOE (Design of Experiments) analysis, this paper studies the influence of material parameters of concrete targets on the results of numerical simulation based on quantitative analysis, when the impact velocity is 300m/s and 850m/s respectively. It concludes that when the impact velocity of 300m/s, 5 parameters have considerable effect on the residual velocity of warhead, they are , , , and . Of all 5 parameters, , and can be obtained by calculation therefore it only needs to debug two parameters and according to experiments. Finally, when the impact velocity is 300m/s or so, debug combining the experiments to get a set of concrete impact damage model material parameters to make the results of simulation and experiment anastomosis well.

ABSTRACTDynamic fracture of two impact loaded, plain concrete, three-point bend specimens was simulated using a dynamic finite element model. A three-segment fracture process zone, which was established in a previous static analysis, together with a tensile overload fracture criterion were used to propagate the crack from the tension side of the unnotched beams. Reasonable agreement between the measured and computed velocities at two points on one beam and estimated and computed average crack velocities was obtained.

The technique of model-based identification is proposed to extract a model for damage in composite materials from experimental data. The proposed method is demonstrated on a unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) beam. Impact damage is seeded in the CFRP beam using a spherical punch, causing localized damage. The specimen is evaluated through modal testing before and after the damage is seeded, with the healthy case modeled using the FEM. Finally, a virtual controller is found which eliminates error in response between the healthy model and damaged experimental system. The virtual controller, being in feedback with the healthy model at the FE node where the damage occurs, reflects the effect of the localized damage. It is found that the seeded impact damage reduces stiffness and is a source of damping inside the composite beam. Interpretation of the local damage is made through the curve fitting of the identified dynamics. To confirm the efficacy of the fit, a closed-loop is made with the healthy model which is then compared to the data from the damaged system.

In order to effectively describe the damage process of composite laminates and reduce the complexity of material model, a mixed damage model based on Linde Criteria and Hashin Criteria is proposed for prediction of impact damage in the study. The mixed damage model can predict baisc failure modes, including fiber fracture, matrix tensile damage, matrix compressive damage. Fiber damage and matrix damage in compression are described based on the progressive damage mechanics; and matrix damage in tension is described based on Continuous Damage Mechanics (CDM). Meanwhile, for interlaminar delamination, damage is described by cohesive model. A finite element model is established to analyze the damage process of composite laminate. A good agreement is got between damage predictions and experimental results.

Composite laminates are susceptible to out-of-plane impact loads due to the lack of reinforcement in the through-thickness direction. Unlike the localized damage induced by a high velocity impact where the incident energy is dissipated near a contact area, low velocity impact damage involves multiple failure mechanisms such as matrix cracking, fiber breakage, and widespread interface delaminations. Depending on the extent of damage, significant reduction in the load-bearing capability of the structure has been observed. The prediction of composite impact damage resistance by a reliable progressive damage analysis tool is essential to reduce intensive and expensive certification tests at structural level. In this work, an enhanced explicit 3D damage model is implemented via VUMAT in Abaqus to perform a drop-weight impact simulation of a [454/04/-454/904]s Hexply AS4/8552 composite laminate. The impact-induced damage and its extent are captured by a 3D Continuum Damage Model (CDM) coupled with an energy driven failure mechanism. The developed module provides a unified solution process for the impact response prediction followed by the residual strength prediction under compression within an explicit solver. Two examples are selected to demonstrate the capability of the progressive failure analysis under dynamic and static loading: 1) a drop-weight test; and 2) an open-hole tension test. Numerical predictions from the developed VUMAT are compared with the test data and predictions using the open source CompDam code developed by NASA.

Composite ship structures are subjected to both the low and high velocity impact during their service life. The dynamic impact can generate fiber, matrix and/or delamination damage inside a woven fabric composite laminate, which may significantly reduce its stiffness and strength. Both the structural mechanics and fracture mechanics based models cannot fully capture the impact damage evolution due to coexistence of continuum and discrete damage. The stress and strain at the element level cannot be directly used to predict the constituent damage and the resulting mechanism driven stiffness degradation. In this paper, a hybrid discrete and continuum damage model is developed and numerically implemented within the LS-DYNA environment via a user-defined material model. The continuum damage progression and its associated stiffness degradation are predicted based on the constituent stress/strain and their associated failure criteria while the delamination damage is numerically captured via a cohesive interface model.
