Abstract

Fibre Metal Laminate (FML) is a damage-tolerant material being opted in modern aerospace industries. FML impact absorbing properties were studied for determining FML response against impact loading. The author contributed by experimentation of drop weight impacts on FML GLARE 6A samples. In this paper, the author reproduced drop weight impact simulation using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The author modeled GLARE FML, and a simulation of drop weight impact was performed using the explicit dynamics module of ANSYS. The drop weight impact method in Ansys was used to analyse the impact force effect on GLARE FML. Simulation results depicted drop weight impacts measured impact force, velocity, and energy vs time. Maximum deformation of plots was presented.
