This paper aims to investigate the rebound process and the secondary-impact process of the fuselage section that occurs in the actual crash events.

    Design/methodology/approach

    A full-scale three-dimensional finite element model of the fuselage section was developed to carry out the dynamic simulations. The rebound process was simulated by removing the impact surface at a certain point, while the secondary-impact process was simulated by striking the impact surface against the fuselage bottom after the first impact.

    Findings

    For the rebound process, the fuselage structure restores deformation due to the springback of the fuselage bottom, and it results in structural vibration of the fuselage section. For the secondary-impact process, the fuselage deformation is similar with that of the single impact process, indicating that the intermittent impact loading has little influence on the overall deformation of the fuselage section. The strut failure is the determining factor to the acceleration responses for both the rebound process and the secondary-impact process.

    Practical implications

    The rebound process and the secondary-impact process, which is difficult to study by experiments, was investigated by finite element simulations. The structure deformations and acceleration responses were obtained, and they can provide guidance for the crashworthy design of fuselage structures.

    Originality/value

    This research first investigated the rebound process and the secondary-impact process of the fuselage section. The absence of the ground load and the secondary-impact was simulated by controlling the impact surface, which is a new simulating method and has not been used in the previous research.
