An Optimization Study on Material Selection for FRPCs in Multi Layered Armour System Through Hybrid MCDM Approach and Numerical Simulation

Abstract:
Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) are considered as core structure in Multi layered armour systems (MAS) to take advantage of maximum energy absorption, mobility and cost criteria design. In this article, based on the problem defining attribute’s optimal material selection in FRPCs determined by Multiple criteria decisions making (MCDM) approach for considered alternative materials from polymer resin, synthetic and natural fiber. Attribute’s weightage and alternatives priority rank were determined through Fussy-Analytical hierarchy process (F-AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. Obtained rank was compared with Preference selection index (PSI) an another MCDM method, for better computational conformity. Selected materials from MCDM approach, simulated for energy absorption ability and damage after impact were studied by considering Cowper-Symonds constitutive materials model using 3D macro shell analysis. Various impact velocities were considered from 3 to 50 m/s for rigid steel impactor directed towards the deformable plate. Parameter like Residual kinetic energy, Residual velocity, Energy absorption ratio after impact were studied numerically. Simulation results in terms of specific energy absorption were compared with the rank obtained in MCDM approach. Among the polymers considered epoxy, polyurethane and polyester found better choice. In fibers hemp and basalt found better materials choice for heterogenous FRPCs design in ballistic armour.
