Impact response and failure mode for single-layer Geodesic Spherical Domes under impact load

摘要

Based on the ANSYS/LS-DYNA software, the analysis for the 40 m span geodesic spherical domes under impact load is carried out. By changing the mass of impact object, impact velocity and impact location, the parametric analyses on the dynamic response of the structures under the impact loading are carried out. The three failure modes of the spherical domes are summed up: local dent of structure and global collapse of structure, Punch failure of structure. Then the characteristics of the dynamic response of the structure with different failure mode, such as the impact course, impact load, speed of nodes, displacement of nodes, and stress of bars, are investigated. It is further improvement of failure mode for single-layer reticulated dome under impact.
