An asymmetric hybrid multilayer metal sandwich structure is an important new representative lightweight multifunctional structure, and open a wide range of potential and promising applications in spacecraft, aircraft, ship, high-speed train and vehicle fields. This project proposes to experimentally, analytically and numerically study the ultimate load-carrying and energy absorption mechanisms of asymmetric hybrid multilayer metal sandwich structures subjected to low-velocity impact. Drop weight impact tests are carried out to study the impact deformation and failure modes of asymmetric hybrid multilayer metal sandwich structures. According to the impact deformation modes of structures and employing the proposed yield criterion related to the time, an analytical model of the dynamic response of asymmetric hybrid multilayer metal sandwich structures subjected to low-velocity impact is developed. Combining with experimental and analytical results, the impact response process and influence factors of asymmetric hybrid multilayer metal sandwich structures are numerically studied, energy absorption distribution mechanisms of all layers are discussed for the different deformation modes, the impact deformation rules and energy absorption mechanisms of structures are revealed, the corresponding failure criteria are obtained, and the residual strengths of structures after the impact damage are forecasted. The results of the project could provide the foundation of the design and crashworthiness evaluation of asymmetric hybrid multilayer metal sandwich structures.
