Abstract

Abstract: Through theoretical analysis and finite element simulation, the low-velocity impact of rectangular foam-filled fiber metal laminate (FML) tubes is studied in this paper. According to the rigid-plastic material approximation with modifications, simple analytical solutions are obtained for the dynamic response of rectangular foam-filled FML tubes. The numerical calculations for low-velocity impact of rectangular foam-filled FML tubes are conducted. The accuracy of analytical solutions and numerical results is verified by each other. Finally, the effects of the metal volume fraction of FMLs, the number of the metal layers in FMLs, and the foam strength on the dynamic response of foam-filled tubes are discussed through the analytical model in details. It is shown that the force increases with the increase in the metal volume fraction in FMLs, the number of the metal layers in FML, and the foam strength for the given deflection.

Key words: fiber metal laminate (FML) tube, metal foam, low-velocity impact, energy absorption
