| description | In this paper, the low-velocity impact behavior and damage modes of carbon/glass-hybrid fiber-reinforced magnesium alloy laminates (FMLs-H) and pure carbon-fiber-reinforced magnesium alloy laminates (FMLs-C) are investigated using experimental, theoretical modeling, and numerical simulation methods. Low-velocity impact tests were conducted at incident energies of 20 J, 40 J, and 60 J using a drop-weight impact tester, and the load–displacement curves and energy–time curves of the FMLs were recorded and plotted. The results showed that compared with FMLs-C, the stiffness of FMLs-H was slightly reduced, but the peak load and energy absorption were both greatly improved. Finally, a finite element model based on the Abaqus-VUMAT subroutine was developed to simulate the experimental results, and the damage modes of the metal layer, fiber layer, and interlayer were observed and analyzed. The experimental results are in good agreement with the finite element analysis results. The damage mechanisms of two kinds of FMLs under low-velocity impacts are discussed, providing a reference for the design and application of laminates. |
