Abstract

The paper proposes both theoretical and experimental approaches to the analysis of laminated composite response to impact loading. For theoretical modelling of dynamic behavior of a composite, the generalized model is used that takes into account the spatial character of deformation on near to the impact point. This model is based on a power series expansion of the displacement vector component in each layer for the transverse coordinate. The results of calculations are compared with the data obtained by other researchers for the case of low-velocity impact, as well as with the experimental data obtained by ourselves at medium-velocity impacts on composite panels. In the experimental study, maximum deflections of composite samples during the impact of an indenter were investigated. A pneumatic gun was used to launch the indenter, and a crusher was used to register the maximum deflections. An experimental study of the response of an eleven-layer fiber-glass composite to indenter impacts at different velocities was performed. For launching, the 600 g indenter was used. It is established that the calculation results and experimental data are in good agreement.
