Hi, everyone, I am simulate the impacting CFRP model, I want to know how to define thermal failure during the impact process because epoxy degraded owing to thermal effects.
Calculate thermal stress and determine the Factor of safety by dividing yield strength to the working strength (Ductile materials). If brittle use the formula Ultimate strength to the working stress.
Hi, thank you for your reply, the impact image is attached. I want to know how to define thermal failure instead of mechanical failure in the impact processing.
