A simulative study on the effect of friction coefficient and angle on failure behaviors of GLARE subjected to low-velocity impact

Abstract The aim of this paper is to study the effect friction coefficient and impact angle on failure behaviors glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminates (GLARE) under low-velocity (LVI) loading. A methodology developed in commercial software ABAQUS/Explicit, its accuracy verified based results comparison between simulation experiment. In simulation, Johnson–Cook flow stress model surface-based cohesive behavior are carried out simulate damage evolution alloy layers delamination at interface. Further, both dynamic response history mechanism characterization these hybrid presented compared carefully. Additionally, due advantage it accurate easy discuss contour consisting degree composite metal as well interface them. Finally, influence rules GLARE LVI drawn clearly.
