Abstract

To better induce progressive collapse modes of composite corrugated plate, a novel multi-stage stacked structure is proposed. The multi-stage stacked triggering consists of stepped structures and sawtooth cutout that guides the progressive crushing load and failure mode. The different triggering configurations including non-sawtooth, partial sawtooth, overall evenly sawtooth and overall uneven sawtooth are discussed and compared. To better predict the progressive failure process, the material failure is initiated by the maximum-stress failure criterion and a stiffness degradation method. The traction-separation model is adopted to simulate inter-layer delamination failure. Under the validated model, the influences of geometrical parameters on the crushing responses are performed. Numerical simulation results show that a good agreement is exhibited between simulated and experimental results. The progressive failure behavior could be obtained by the stepped structures and sawtooth cutout. The initial loading responses highly depend on the gradient stacking methods. The initial peak load of proposed novel multi-stage stacked concepts is about 30% lower than that of traditional structure.
