Numerical simulation of the progressive collapse of polymer composite sandwich beams under static loading
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Experimental results are given for the progressive collapse of polymer composite sandwich beams with construction typical of high performance marine vehicles. The skins consist of a unidirectional glass epoxy pre-preg (SP Systems SE84) laid up in a crossply form. The core is made from either Divinycell H100 (100 kg m −3 ) or H200 (200 kg m −3 ) foam. A two-dimensional numerical simulation of the progressive collapse of these beams is achieved using the finite element code ABAQUS/Standard. The paper focuses on the material properties required as input into the numerical model. This includes laminate damage in the upper skin and the multi-axial crushing of the foam core.
