Understanding and representing heating and heating rate effects on composite material properties for lightning strike direct effect simulations

S. L. J. Millen et al.

Summary: The study investigated the impact of heating rate on thermal damage predictions during lightning strikes through experimental and simulation analysis. It was found that using maximum heating rate extrapolation improved prediction accuracy, reducing errors in predicted severe damage area to within 8% of experimental values.

Lightning strike-induced dynamic conduction characteristics and damage behavior of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer composites

Jinru Sun et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the lightning-induced conduction characteristics of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites and improve the simulation of lightning damage. By establishing a potential barrier model and incorporating effective resistance, the research showed that effective resistance can enhance the simulation study and reduce the deviation between simulated and experimental results.

Modelling and understanding edge glow effects on material failure resulting from artificial lightning strike

S. L. J. Millen et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the impact of edge glow effects on material failure prediction during artificial lightning strikes. A new modelling approach is proposed, and Finite Element simulations are conducted to compare results against experimental data. The study reveals that changes in inter-ply properties and edge glow effects have significant effects on the predicted damage areas and depth.

An experimental study of impulse-current-induced mechanical effects on laminated carbon fibre-reinforced polymer composites

Yafeng Li et al.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of shock wave pressure induced by impulse currents on CFRP laminates, using a PVDF piezoelectric sensor to directly measure the pressure caused by arc channel expansion. The research showed that shock wave pressure from negative discharge exceeds that from positive discharge, with increases in current amplitude and strike distance resulting in larger pressures. A woven copper mesh protection decreases shock wave pressure, while an additional insulating epoxy resin layer enhances it.

Lightning arc channel effects on surface damage development on a PRSEUS composite panel: An experimental study

Dounia Boushab et al.

Summary: This study investigated lightning damage resistance in composite aircraft structures, particularly focusing on widespread surface damage caused by the expansion of lightning arc-root/channel. Experimental results showed that barriers placed near the lightning attachment point effectively limited intense local damage and widespread surface damage, indicating that the primary cause of the latter is the expansion of the lightning arc-root/channel.

Lightning mechanical damage prediction in carbon/epoxy laminates using equivalent air blast overpressure

Juhyeong Lee et al.

Summary: A new approach to predict lightning mechanical damage in carbon/epoxy laminates using equivalent air blast overpressure (ABO) is proposed. Three different models were presented, with results showing that ABO models can serve as an alternative to SWO models for predicting mechanical damage.
