Introduction Lightweight sandwich composite structures have gained significant attention in aerospace, automotive, marine, and defense applications due to their high specific strength, excellent energy absorption capacity, and superior impact resistance. Among these, glass fiber–reinforced polymer (GFRP)–metal foam–GFRP composite panels represent a promising class of hybrid sandwich structures that combine the ...

Introduction to Polymeric and Metal Foam Simulation in Abaqus Polymeric and metal foam are advanced materials widely used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, biomedical, and construction due to their unique properties, including high strength-to-weight ratios, energy absorption, and thermal and acoustic insulation. Simulating these materials in Abaqus, a powerful ...

In this tutorial, the crushing analysis of a foam-filled aluminum/CFRP hybrid tube against transverse impact in Abaqus was done. The aluminum tube, CFRP, and aluminum foam are modeled as three-dimensional parts. You can see a figure of the assembled parts below Thin-walled structures made of conventional metals, such as aluminum ...
