Delamination prediction of composite filament wound vessel with metal liner under low velocity impact

摘要

Based on low velocity impact kinetic theory and corresponding damage criterion for the composite laminated structures, a 3-D incompatible, geometrically nonlinear finite element method was employed to investigate the impact mechanical behavior of the composite filament cylindrical vessel with metal liner with and without internal pressure and predict their damage distributions during and after impact. A modified Hertzian contact law was used to calculate the contact force between the impact body and impacted cylindrical vessel and a direct integral scheme-Newmark method was applied in time domain during impact analysis process. The damage styles and damage distributions of a typical vessel under different impact velocities are presented. From the numerical results, it is clear that the impact damage extent for composite filament wound vessel with internal pressure is more sever than that without internal pressure under low velocity impact case with same kinetic energy.
