Abstract

Abstract

The impact resistance of T300 carbon fiber blades was studied through experiments and numerical simulations. The deformation damage pattern and the effect of the number of fiber layers on the impact resistance of the blade are studied. The impact experiment was conducted on the carbon fiber blades of different layers. Based on the macro-level continuum damage mechanics theory and the Hashin failure criterion, a vectorized user-material subroutine was written for the carbon fiber material, and the smooth particle hydrodynamics algorithm was used to simulate the gelatin projectiles. Numerical simulations of bird impact on the composite blades with different layers were carried out in ABAQUS/Explicit. The blade deformation process, bird flow state, and impact duration time of the experiments agree well with the numerical results. In the initial impact stage, the blade specimens have large deformations, and the deformation modes of the three carbon fiber blades with different layers are similar to each other. However, in the impact attenuation and constant flow stages, the deflection and fracture of different layers of carbon fiber blades are quite different. The damage mode of the 6-layer carbon fiber blade is complete fractures at the blade root and top, the damage mode of the 8-layer carbon fiber blade is root fracture, and there is no obvious macroscopic visible damage in the 10-layer carbon fiber blade. Under the gelatin projectile impact loading, the blade deformation mode is mainly coupled with the bending and torsional deformation process, and the bending deformation dominates the damage and failure process. Experimental results show that the damage pattern of carbon fiber blades is mainly classified as (1) edge damage at the root, (2) complete fracture at the root, and (3) complete fracture at the root and top edge. The impact resistance of carbon fiber is greatly influenced by the number of layers. The mechanism analysis of gelatin projectile impact on carbon fiber blades through experiments and numerical simulations can provide a reference for the engineering design and application of carbon fiber blades.
