It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A452423. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The objective of the research is to analytically model the response of composite sandwich plates to low velocity impact. A displacement based, plane stress, finite element code is modified for this purpose. Major new algorithms include 5th order Hermitian interpolation, three dimensional equilibrium integration for transverse stress calculations, sandwich core modeling as an elastic plastic foundation, loading by simulated contact with a spherical indentor, adaptive mesh, damage prediction, damage progression via stiffness reduction, and local-global analysis for displacement. An experimental effort is also included in which composite sandwich plates with graphite epoxy facesheets and Nomex honeycomb core are subjected to low velocity impact (instrumented impactor) and static indentation. Comparison of static and dynamic results indicates limitations for the quasistatic assumptions typically made. Dynamic simulation of the impact event is provided by a one dimensional, three degree of freedom model. Classical three dimensional and cylindrical bending elasticity solutions attributed to Pagano are modified for Hertzian contact and sandwich structures, providing an exact solution against which the finite element analysis is benchmarked. The two dimensional (plane stress) finite element analysis, when combined with the three dimensional equations of stress equilibrium predicts the three dimensional state of stress in an undamaged composite sandwich under contact-type loading.
