Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
Parallel calculation of JAXA supercomputer system enables to reduce the total computation time because the progressive failure analysis of composite materials require a lot of iterative simulation.
Achievements of the Year
A progressive failure model that can simulate the impact damage failure for 8ply CFRP laminates is established (Fig. 1). Delamination initiation and growth in the laminates during impact are considered, and the following findings are obtained.
The damage propagation shows the different behavior at the impact energy level larger than 5.34J. With the 6.67J impact energy, damage continues to propagate even after unloading. The propagation rate increases in proportion to the energy.(Fig. 2)
Especially, it was found that the delamination propagates significantly between the layers immediately below the middle layer of the laminate. This is because the magnitude of stress near the middle layer is more prominent than others due to the combination of internal shear stress and in-plane tensile stress caused by bending deformation during impact.(Fig. 3)
