Analysis Of Low-Velocity Impact Response In Aa5083 Plate

Abstract

Abstract This paper investigates the low velocity impact performance of AA5083 using ABAQUS software. The impact resistance was measured in terms of depth of indentation created over AA5083. Low-velocity impact results indicates, that the angle of inclination of the impact resisting body have a great influence on the impact resistance properties. The analysis study was carried out for different orientations of the alloy plate with respect to the horizontal datum namely 30°,60°,90° respectively. A Finite Element Method (FEM) model has been developed using ABAQUS software tool to analyse and study the low-velocity impact test on the AA5083 plate. Results from the FEM model reveals that the depth of indentation over AA5083 is minimum when the angle is inclined at 90°.
