Abstract:

In order to improve the impact resistance and energy absorption of thin-walled circular tube,a carbon fiber reinforced composites (CFRP) thin-walled tube with porous array is designed to investigate its impact resistance and energy absorption performance under axial and transverse impact loads,respectively.A finite element model of CFRP thin-walled tube with porous arrays under impact loading is established based on the finite element method (FEM).The effects of different lay-up angles on the impact resistance and energy-absorbing properties of the structure are analyzed.Numerical results show that CFRP thin-walled circular tube with porous arrays has higher specific energy absorption and peak load,which are too high for the protected structure.But the peak impact load and specific energy absorption values can be changed by varying the lay-up angle of CFRP in order to enhance impact damage resistance.The maximum compression load within the effective compression displacement is reduced by about 10.1% and the specific energy absorption value is increased by about 15.1% when the lay-up angle of thin-walled circular tube with porous arrays is changed from [90°/45°/90°/0°]2S to [90°/0°/90°/0°]2S under axial impact loading.The preliminary results will be a guide for the engineering application of lightweighting and impact resistance enhancement of CFRP thin-walled tube.
