T1 Analysis of testing at high strain rates using FEM
A1 Caballero Herranz, Jesús
AB The use of composite materials in aviation is increasing every year. They offer hugeadvantages in terms of performance and weight with respect to more common materialssuch as aluminum. However, the sector of aviation is both very conservative and progressiveat the same time. They invest a lot of time and money in developing new, moreefficient ways of operating, but also take a lot of time to introduce these improvementsinto the market. This is, of course, due to safety reasons. A fatal error taking place duringflight can be catastrophic.For this reason it is important to perform thorough tests in new materials introduced.The simulation using a FEM software of a SHPB experiment is a great way of testing thematerials at the high strain rates it could encounter during operation. Therefore, seeingthat the proposed material passes the test satisfactorily, its introduction into the industrycan be approved.The validation of these experiments using FEM software is reached when the resultsobtained match the characteristics of the materials tested, which are already known. Thishas great value for the industry as these simulations allow to test a wide variety of materialsin many different configurations and could help reduce time and cost.
