Damage Response Characteristics of UHMWPE/aluminum Foam Composite Sandwich Panel Subjected to CombinedBlast and Fragment Loadings

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1000-1093.2021.08.020

Abstract

Abstract: A novel composite sandwich panel with UHMWPE and aluminum foam cores is proposed. The damage mechanism of composite sandwich panel under the combined blast and fragment loading is studied by using LS-DYNA software. The synergetic effects of blast and fragment loadings were achieved by attaching the pre-fabricated fragments to the bottom surface of the cylindrical TNT explosive. The proposed numerical model was validated by comparing the simulated results with the existed experimental data. Based on the calibrated numerical model, the whole dynamic response process, velocity and acceleration response at feature point, as well as the energy dissipation characteristics for the composite sandwich panel were analyzed in detail. Further attention was paid to the effect of face-sheet thickness on the failure modes and plastic deformation of panel. The numerical results reveal that there are two evident peaks in the acceleration-time curve of the fragment and front face-sheet center, which are caused due to the impact of fragments on the front face-sheet and UHMWPE core. The front face-sheet and aluminum foam core contribute to most of the energy absorption. For the target panel with equal face-sheet thickness, a superior blast performance is achieved by well balancing between the penetration resistance of front face-sheet and the bending stiffness of back face-sheet.
