A Spanish research group offers its experience in the analysis and modelization of high and low velocity impact behaviour of composite structures. Their research focuses on both numerical analysis and non-standard experimental methodologies. The research group is looking for technical cooperation.
The research groups offers:
- Analysis and modelization
of laminated and sandwich structures subjected to high and low velocity impulsive loads
- Analysis
and modelization of energy absorption structures
- Damage tolerance studies of composite
structures subjected to different types of loads
- Innovation and development of non-standard
experimental methodologies to test structures subjected to impact loads, with special emphasis on
the evaluation of the damage tolerance
- Modelization and experimental analysis of the mechanical
behaviour of composite materials in dynamic conditions
The research group has a laboratory with
several test devices where it is possible to do impact and damage tolerance tests to validate the
theoretical models.
Innovative Aspects:
Development of specific methodologies for impact tests of
thin composite structural elements , evaluating their damage tolerance when subjected to different
load conditions.
Use of numerical models implemented in commercial codes to analyze the failure
of composite and sandwich structural elements, considering the special characteristics of this type
of materials.
Domain of Application
This technology would allow a company to study composite structural
elements subjected to high and low velocity impulsive loads by means of numerical models.
It has
the capacities of a well-equipped experimental laboratory which permits the testing of structural
elements in a wide range of test velocities and temperatures.
Stage of Development
Available for demonstration
Exploitation of RTD Results

IPR
Secret know-how
The methods used by the research group can
be of interest to both companies and research centres whose activities include the analysis of
composite structural elements and which require knowledge of high or low velocity impact behaviour
and have to evaluate its damage tolerance.
