Abstract
- Abstract Fiber metal laminates (FMLs) are widely applied as protective structures in various high-tech industries owing to their excellent impact resistance. This paper presents an explicit finite element (FE) simulation to investigate the dynamic damage behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced aluminum laminates (CRALLs) under combined explosion and fragment loading. Johnson-Cook model is utilized to capture the damage response of aluminum material; 3D Hashin failure criteria are applied to predict the damage evolution of fiber composite material considering the high strain rate effect; cohesive elements are incorporated to simulate the inter-laminar delamination phenomena. The effectiveness of the proposed numerical model is verified through a comparison with available experimental data in ballistic impact conditions. In addition, a thorough analysis of the dynamic behavior and damage mechanism of FMLs is conducted, and the impact performance is extensively discussed in terms of the influences of explosion distance and explosion mass. This work serves as a valuable reference for future numerical studies on the explosive impact resistance of other FMLs structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
