2 Outline Industrial context Technical issues Towards a multi-scale method for delamination Conclusions Chloé Dupleix-Couderc Towards a multiscale analysis of delamination in dynamics 2 /19

3 Industrial context Aircraft vulnerability: Dynamics problems: Tyres debris impact, bird strike Crash Verification of safety requirements Avoid perforation Damage assessment Important use of numerical simulation Design of composite structures: At first: use of criteria New industrial demand: need of a precise description of local degradation phenomena To improve the design To reduce the margin Cockpit Bird strike Examples of structures dimensioned for impact LGB area Tyre debris CWB rear spar Tyre debris Inlet Bird strike Need to have accurate numerical results for composite structures Chloé Dupleix-Couderc Towards a multiscale analysis of delamination in dynamics 3 /19

4 Phenomena to represent Example: tyre debris impact on composite shell structure Impacted structure Structure description Material description In-plane dimension: ~1.2m x 1m Oriented plies Ply thickness: ~0.1mm Accurate representation of delamination: Analysis of degradation looking at ply scale Delaminated area Delamination model: interface model between plies Test results Local phenomena observed Matrix cracks Local delamination Delaminated area: ~m 2 Local degradation characteristic length: ~mm [de Borst], [Allix], [Ladevèze] Chloé Dupleix-Couderc Towards a multiscale analysis of delamination in dynamics 4 /19

5 Meso-scale model Application to an industrial structure Structure dimension: ~1 m2, 40 plies Simulation length: ~20 ms Use of a meso-scale model: Each ply is meshed separately: 1 element per ply Additional interface elements between plies Time steps: ~10-5 ms Dofs: ~ 3 billions Unrealistic with actual computers Development of a specific numerical approach For transient dynamics problems Considering industrial structure dimension Able to predict accurately the delaminated area Reducing the CPU cost Example of problem to solve Classic shell model : Multi-layer shell elements Time steps: ~ 10-4 ms Dofs: ~ dofs Chloé Dupleix-Couderc Towards a multiscale analysis of delamination in dynamics 5 /19

7 Problem analysis Example: 2D composite bean with evolutive effort Structure: 10 plies of composite linear elements for plies (Q4), interface elements with damage behavior [Allix] 2D model Results: evolution of delamination in the structure F A fine description is not useful everywhere in the structure for all time steps t The model used can evolve Chloé Dupleix-Couderc Towards a multiscale analysis of delamination in dynamics 7 /19

8 Problem analysis What we would like to do... t0 t1 t2 Elastic behavior, no delamination Initiation of delamination Propagation Global kinematic of the problem: shell Accurate shell description needed Fine representation locally Use of a local model Multiscale method to couple the scales, both in time and space Coupling shell and 3D model Use of 3D shell theory Evolution of the model to follow the delamination Criterion Multiscale method able to evolve Fine model not needed in delaminated areas Model to represent discontinuities Chloé Dupleix-Couderc Towards a multiscale analysis of delamination in dynamics 8 /19

9 Technical issues Shell representation Mainly 2D shell elements Global scale Correct coupling with 3D model For 3D shell elements, specific developments required to avoid «locking» and to represent well the shell kinematic: Adaptation of 3D classic element [Hughes & al. 1981], [Simo & al. 1990] Modification of classic shell theory [Parisch 1995] Shape function with high order Multi-scale methods Time methods: Useful to couple different time steps [Belyschko 1979] Coupling the space scale Allowing the use of different time steps Or different integration scheme [Belytschko 1985], [Gravouil & Combescure 2001] Space methods: For static problems: different type depending on transmitted information between sub-domains: BDD [Mandel 1993], FETI [Farhat & Roux 1991], LATiN [Ladevèze 1990] And their application to dynamics problem [Farhat 1993], [Boucard & al.] Chloé Dupleix-Couderc Towards a multiscale analysis of delamination in dynamics 9 /19
