| Abstract |
In this paper, the authors performed the missile-target interaction analysis for B747 airplane against prestressed concrete dome structure. The aircraft model was developed and verified from the previous researches that were done by the authors. Therefore, the FE aircraft model can be used for the aircraft impact loading case. The development of aircraft FE model is theoretically based on the Riera function which was proposed by Riera derived from the rigid wall impact hypothesis. When the aircraft impact to the freeform or circular section shaped structure, the resulting impact force and it's integral impulse force may be different from the theoretical values. In this paper, the authors developed the artificial prestress concrete dome structure which has circular section shape and usually using for the nuclear power plant containment building structure. And the aircraft impact analyses were performed using missile-target interaction method. The commercial Hydrocode AUTODYN was used for FE modelling and simulations. From the comprehensive numerical studies, the shape of target structure significantly affects the aircraft impact load and decreases it compared to the Riera function and rigid wall impact simulation. |
