Abstract

The aim of this research is to investigate experimentally and numerically the low-velocity impact behavior of foam-based composites reinforced with warp-knitted spacer fabric (WKSF). To prepare different foam-based composites, the structural parameters of WKSFs including cell size, position, and Z-fiber height were considered. A drop weight impact test with an initial energy of 5J was carried out to examine the low-velocity impact behavior of composites, followed by experimental analyses of Mises, shear, and normal stress on various composite components. Thereafter, the impact behavior of the composites was simulated using ABAQUS/CAE software. The comparison between experimental and numerical results showed a maximum error of 9.79% in predicting the acceleration of impactor. In addition, the results revealed significant stress disparities among samples. Stress analysis showed complex patterns across samples, emphasizing structural parameter influence on stress tolerance and load-bearing capabilities. Notably, Z-fibers displayed substantial stress tolerance, while the matrix predominantly undergoes shear stress. Consequently, the ideal structure for low-velocity impact applications includes small cell size, high thickness, and non-facing hexagonal cells.
