Dynamic response and damage evolution in composite materials subjected to underwater explosive loading: An experimental and computational study
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract The effect of underwater shock loading on an E-Glass/Epoxy composite material has been studied. The work consists of experimental testing, utilizing a water filled conical shock tube and computational simulations, utilizing the commercially available LS-DYNA finite element code. Two test series have been performed and simulated: (1) a reduced energy series which allowed for the use of strain gages and (2) a series with increased energy which imparted material damage. The strain gage data and the computational results show a high level of correlation using the Russell error measure. The finite element models are also shown to be able to simulate the onset of material damage by both in-plane and delamination mechanisms.
