三维渐进损伤的复合材料层合板低速冲击模型

为了有效反映复合材料层合板面内和层间的非线性损伤，建立了一个新型的损伤模型，该模型基于三维实体单元和内聚力单元可以有效分析复合材料层合板在低速冲击作用下的层内和层间非线性失效行为。对于复合材料层合板面内损伤，以改进的Hashin失效准则作为起始损伤准则，提出了一种基于能量释放率的损伤变量指数渐进演化模型，既描述了复合材料损伤的渐进失效过程，又避免了材料刚度突然下降导致刚度矩阵奇异的不足，同时引入特征长度来降低结果对网格的依赖性，最终建立了单层板的渐进损伤非线性分析模型；针对层合板的层间损伤，采用内聚力单元来模拟，通过结合传统的应力失效准则和断裂力学中的能量释放率准则定义了界面损伤演化规律。该损伤模型通过商用有限元软件ABAQUS/Explicit 的用户子程序VUMAT实现，并使用该模型对碳纤维增强环氧树脂复合材料层合板在横向低速冲击作用下的损伤和变形行为进行预测分析。数值仿真的结果与试验结果进行了比较，吻合良好，验证了该模型的有效性。

Nonlinear progressive damage model for composite laminates used for low velocity impact

In order to effectively describe the progressively intralaminar and interlaminar damage for composite laminates , a three dimensional progressive damage model for composite laminates used for low-velocity impact is presented in this paper .Being applied to three di-mensional solid elements and cohesive elements , this nonlinear damage model can be used to analyze the dynamic performance of composite structure and its failure behavior .For the in-tralaminar damage , as a function of energy release rate , this damage model in an exponential function can describe progressive development of the damage;for interlaminar damage , dam-age evolution was described by the framework of the continuum mechanics through cohesive elements.Through coding user subroutine VUMAT of finite element software ABAQUS /ex-plicit, and applied the model to an example ,carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite lami-nates under low velocity impact , the prediction for damage and deformation were good agree-ment with the experimental results .
