Experimental Investigation and FE Analysis of Fiber Woven Layered Composites under Dynamic Loading

Woven composites are used in a wide range of industrial applications such as development of individual body armor, aviation, astronautics and others . Thus, it is important to learn the mechanical behavior of the composite and to perform it’s adequate modeling under dynamic impact loading. The paper is concerned with modeling of woven fabric composite made of aramid yarns. The experimental investigation including static tests, dynamic tests with the Split Hopkinson Bar and ballistic impact tests was performed. The full-scale model with yarn-level detalization was constructed using obtained experimental data. The method allows getting qualitative results on the small specimens but realistic analysis of real-size models consisted of billion elements requires huge computational resources. So the paper is focused on the development of the alternative homogenized macro-model of the layered composite.
