Abstract

A study was conducted to investigate energy absorption and deformation in textile composite cellular structures (TCCS) under a quasi-static impact with various cell dimensions through 3-D finite element (FE) modeling. The aim of the study was to improve the absorption quality of TCCSs for various applications, especially for aerospace engineering, so that to promote the knowledge in product design and manufacture. Models considered for the proposed FE simulation include that having different original cell wall length, and another one with different opening angles. The energy absorption on the outer surface was observed to be higher than that on the inner surface that indicates the concept behind applying the external impact energy and to minimize or release the impacts. The magnitude of the original cell-wall length significantly influenced the energy-absorption capability of TCCSs.
