Axial crush simulation of braided carbon tubes using MAT58 in LS-DYNA
AbstractThis paper examines a composite damage constitutive model, MAT58, in LS-DYNA and its application for use in braided composite tube axial crush simulations. The constitutive response of MAT58 was investigated using single element simulations. It was found that MAT58 reproduced the softening behavior of the braided composite under monotonic compressive loading, but failed in subsequent unloading and tensile loading cycles. A deficiency in the damage law in MAT58 was identified. Unloading and reloading a volume of material that had suffered some degree of damage was a part of the process with the progressing of crush zone during the axial crush of composite tubes. Consequently, this deficiency hinders the success of MAT58 in such applications. In tri-axial braided composite tube axial crush simulations, although the predicted initial peak forces were within 20% of the experimental values, the predictions for the specific energy absorption (SEA) values were consistently low, particularly for tubes without a plug as crush initiator. These discrepancies are attributable to the deficiency in the damage law in MAT58.
