3D Fabric Modelling with HyperWorks for Impact Field

Karine Thoral Pierre, Cedrem

Numerical simulation of 2D fabric and 3D woven fabric using finite element code, RADIOSS describe the mechanism of deformation, interactions, energy absorption and damage during the impact.The focus of this paper is to present the tool developped in hypermesh to simulate a meso scale finite element modelling of textiles. Several models of textiles structures (geometry and meshing) are described in this study. Yarns modeled using thick shell and thin shell are used to simulate damage under FSP around the impact zone.Results of several tests and simulations are compared to evaluate this approach.
