Abstract

Application of the composite materials will contribute to improving the performance of aircraft and spacecraft components. JAXA conducts researches for overcoming weaknesses of current composite materials, clarifying unknown aspects such as fracture mechanisms, improving performance and enabling application to design technology.

Reasons for using JSS2

We performed damage simulation of CFRP under impact loading in order to assess the design safety of CFRP structure. For precise simulation, each CFRP lamina must be modeled separately, and huge number of DoFs are needed. Application of the supercomputer system makes such high-computational-cost calculation possible.

Achievements of the Year

Precision of the low-velocity impact damage simulation for the CFRP laminate was improved by using multiscale calculatiuon method. Low-velocity impact tests were performed based on the ASTM D7136 standard, and damage was measured by non-destructive inspection (NDI). Simulation was performed using ABAQUS/Explicit 2016 on JSS2 system. Each ply of the CFRP laminate was modeled by one continuum shell element in the thickness direction. ECDM model was implemented using usersubroutine of ABAQUS.

In the macroscopic model (Fig. 1), the CFRP laminate was modeled by one continuum shell element in the thickness direction. The damage was simulated by using ECDM model, which was developed in JAXA in the last year. Microscopic model consists of solid elements and cohesive elemtns (Figs. 2, 3). Macroscopic strain which was calculated in the macroscopic model was applied to the microscopic model, and microscopic damage can be predicted. Figure 4 compares the simulated damage and the damage mesasured by the micro-focus X-ray CT.
