The full geometrical models of the tests were implemented using the LS-DYNA. The panels tested with spherical and flat striker tips were not penetrated and experienced slightly higher deformation forces and energy absorptions in 0°/90° corrugated layer orientation than in 0°/0° orientation. However, the panels impacted using a conical striker tip were penetrated/perforated and showed comparably smaller deformation forces and energy absorptions, especially in 0°/90° layer orientation. The simulation and experimental force values were shown to reasonably agree with each other at the large extent of deformation and revealed the progressive fin folding of corrugated core layers and bending of interlayer sheets as the main deformation mechanisms. The experimentally and numerically determined impact velocity sensitivity of the tested panels was attributed to the micro inertial effects which increased the critical buckling loads of fin layers at increasingly high loading rates.Article Citation - WoS: 32Citation - Scopus: 37Modeling Quasi-Static and High Strain Rate Deformation and Failure Behavior of a (±45) Symmetric E-glass/Polyester Composite Under Compressive Loading(Elsevier Ltd., 2013) Kara, Ali; Taşdemirci, Alper; Güden, MustafaQuasi-static (1 × 10−3–1 × 10−2 s−1) and high strain rate (∼1000 s−1) compressive mechanical response and fracture/failure of a (±45) symmetric E-glass/polyester composite along three perpendicular directions were determined experimentally and numerically. A numerical model in LS-DYNA 971 using material model MAT_162 was developed to investigate the compression deformation and fracture of the composite at quasi-static and high strain rates. The compressive stress–strain behaviors of the composite along three directions were found strain rate sensitive. The modulus and maximum stress of the composite increased with increasing strain rate, while the strain rate sensitivity in in-plane direction was higher than that in through-thickness direction. The damage progression determined by high speed camera in the specimens well agreed with that of numerical model. The numerical model successfully predicted the damage initiation and progression as well as the failure modes of the composite.
