Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to establish an integrity evaluation technology for aircraft composite structures against bird strike events and developed a numerical method to predicting bird-strike damage of CFRP laminates. More specifically, we developed an improved smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) that achieved inhomogeneous initial particles arrangement and resulting reduction of calculation cost. Moreover, a material softening model was introduced into the constitutive equation of a particle to represent energy absorption due to crack extension. This approach enabled us to analyze extension of delamination in composite laminates. We finally predicted bird-strike damage of CFRP cross-ply laminates, and demonstrated that the present method could represent the damage extension observed in the experiments.
