Abstract
The effects of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires on the damage behavior of glass fibers/epoxy resin composite laminates for the case of low-velocity impact are investigated experimentally and numerically. In this work, the low-velocity impact tests of SMAs/glass fibers/epoxy resin composite laminates are carried out. The elastic–plastic theory was adopted to simulate the mechanical behavior of SMA during the loading stage. The three-dimensional (3D) Hashin failure criterion is adopted in Abaqus/Explicit to model the damage initiation of composite laminates. The cohesive damage model is introduced to control the interface element and model the delamination failure. Moreover, the impact damage mechanisms of composite laminates are analyzed based on the experimental and numerical simulation results. These results show that the numerical results obtained in the present study have a reasonably good agreement with the experimental results. In addition, it is also found that impact damages are mainly caused by matrix cracks and delamination with no perforation for the case of 32-J impact energy, and impact damages are mainly caused by fibers breakage with perforation for the case of 64-J impact energy.
