Modeling and Ballistic Impact Analysis of Plain Weave Composites Using Finite Element Method
摘要
The increasing use of composite materials in critical applications such as aerospace and defense necessitates a thorough understanding of their response to high-velocity impact. This study focuses on the ballistic impact behavior of plain weave fabric-reinforced composites using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Through simulation in ANSYS, the stresses, strains, and deformation of the composite under ballistic impact conditions were examined. The analysis considered varying projectile sizes and impact velocities, providing insights into the energy absorption and failure mechanisms of the composite material. The results indicate the material’s capability to withstand high-impact forces, with stress concentrations observed at critical regions. This research highlights the potential of plain weave composites in impact-resistant applications, offering a reliable predictive framework for their performance in real-world conditions.
