面外压缩载荷下多层夹芯板的理论分析与数值研究

采用理论分析与数值模拟相结合的方法对多层梯度夹芯板在面外压缩载荷作用下的变形规律与能量吸收性能进行了研究。基于超折叠单元理论,建立了单层、双层及三层梯形夹芯板平均压缩力(MCF)的理论分析模型。在此基础上,建立了多层梯形夹芯板的有限元模型,研究了面板厚度、芯层厚度及芯层底角对三层梯形夹芯板力学性能的影响。研究结果表明：理论预测与数值模拟结果吻合较好;三层梯形夹芯板中面板厚度对结构比吸能(SEA)的影响较小,芯层的厚度和底角影响较大。面板厚度由0.5 mm增加为1.0 mm,比吸能从10.93 J/g增加为10.98 J/g,而面板厚度变为1.5 mm时,比吸能减小为7.54 J/g。随着芯层厚度和底角的增加结构的比吸能增加,当芯层厚度由0.5 mm增加到1.5 mm时,比吸能变为原来的4.69倍;芯层底角为63°时结构的比吸能是底角为30°的4.29倍。     

双模量面板泡沫铝芯圆形层合板的非线性弯曲

双模量材料是典型的拉压弹性模量不同的材料,在均匀外载荷作用下,双模量面板泡沫铝芯圆形层合板相当于三种不同材料组成的层合板。采用弹性理论建立了双模量面板泡沫铝芯圆形层合板在均布载荷作用下的静力平衡方程,利用该静力平衡方程确定了层合板的中性面位置。在此基础上建立了双模量面板泡沫铝芯圆形层合板的大挠度弯曲微分方程组,求得了层合板中心挠度与均布载荷的关系式。该方法计算结果与有限元计算结果的最大误差仅为3.8%,这说明该方法是可靠的。算例分析表明不考虑面板拉压弹性模量相异时其计算结果与实际情况相差较大,超过了工程上所允许的计算误差5%。所以,在计算双模量面板泡沫铝芯圆形层合板的非线性弯曲时,不宜采用相同弹性模量弹性理论,而应该采用拉压弹性模量不同的弹性理论。

Indentation failure in composite sandwich structures

A combined analytical and experimental investigation of the indentation failure of a composite sandwich panel has been undertaken. Two cases have been studied: a sandwich panel with carbon/epoxy facing and a PVC foam layer supported on a rigid base and indented at the center with a cylindrical indentor; and a sandwich beam with symmetrical facing and core materials as in the sandwich panels. The load-deflection behavior of the loaded facing was monitored during the test. Strains were also measured near the load on both surfaces of the facing using embedded strain gages. A full-field analysis of the in-plane displacements in the foam was conducted using the moiré method. The problem was modeled as an elastic beam resting on an elastic-plastic foundation. Initiation of indentation failure occurs when the foundation yields, while catastrophic failure takes place when the compression facing fractures. The experimental results are in good agreement with the results of the analytical modeling based on the Winkler foundation.     

Response and Damage Tolerance of Composite Sandwich Structures under Low Velocity Impact

The deformation and failure response of composite sandwich beams and panels under low velocity impact was reviewed and discussed. Sandwich facesheet materials discussed are unidirectional and woven carbon/epoxy, and woven glass/vinylester composite laminates; sandwich core materials investigated include four types of closed cell PVC foams of various densities, and balsa wood. Sandwich beams were tested in an instrumented drop tower system under various energy levels, where load and strain histories and failure modes were recorded for the various types of beams. Peak loads predicted by spring-mass and energy balance models were in satisfactory agreement with experimental measurements. Failure patterns depend strongly on the impact energy levels and core properties. Failure modes observed include core indentation/cracking, facesheet buckling, delamination within the facesheet, and debonding between the facesheet and core. In the case of sandwich panels, it was shown that static and impact loads of the same magnitude produce very similar far-field deformations. The induced damage is localized and is lower for impact loading than for an equivalent static loading. The load history, predicted by a model based on the sinusoidal shape of the impact load pulse, was in agreement with experimental results. A finite element model was implemented to capture the full response of the panel indentation. The investigation of post impact behavior of sandwich structures shows that, although impact damage may not be readily visible, its effects on the residual mechanical properties of the structure can be quite detrimental.     

Delamination of a high-temperature sandwich plate

This paper describes the development of a method for determining the fracture toughness of the core/faceplate bond in high-temperature sandwich plates. The tensile deformation behavior of a sandwich element was also determined. The results from the latter experiment were used in a beam on elastic foundation analysis of the fracture specimen. The faceplate/core toughness was determined at 23 and 180°C. The room temperature toughness was slightly higher and, in both cases, the toughness decreased with crack length. The higher toughness was associated with a greater degree of interlaminar failure in the faceplates, as opposed to core-pullout.

Metallic sandwich panels subjected to multiple intense shocks

The mechanical response and fracture of metal sandwich panels subjected to multiple impulsive pressure loads (shocks) were investigated for panels with honeycomb and folded plate core constructions. The structural performance of panels with specific core configurations under multiple impulsive pressure loads is quantified by the maximum transverse deflection of the face sheets and the core crushing strain at mid-span of the panels. A limited set of simulations was carried out to find the optimum core density of a square honeycomb core sandwich panels under two shocks. The panels with a relative core density of 4%–5% are shown to have minimum face sheet deflection for the loading conditions considered here. This was consistent with the findings related to the sandwich panel response subjected to a single intense shock. Comparison of these results showed that optimized sandwich panels outperform solid plates under shock loading. An empirical method for prediction of the deflection and fracture of sandwich panels under two consecutive shocks – based on finding an effective peak over-pressure – was provided. Moreover, a limited number of simulations related to response and fracture of sandwich panels under multiple shocks with different material properties were performed to highlight the role of metal strength and ductility. In this set of simulations, square honeycomb sandwich panels made of four steels representing a relatively wide range of strength, strain hardening and ductility values were studied. For panels clamped at their edge, the observed failure mechanisms are core failure, top face failure and tearing at or close to the clamped edge. Failure diagrams for sandwich panels were constructed which reveal the fracture and failure mechanisms under various shock intensities for panels subjected to up to three consecutive shocks. The results complement previous studies on the behavior and fracture of these panels under high intensity dynamic loading and further highlights the potential of these panels for development of threat-resistant structural systems.     

Investigation of the Sandwich Plate Twist Test

Analysis and test results for the compliance of the sandwich plate twist test are presented. The analysis utilizes classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) and finite element analysis (FEA). It is shown that CLPT greatly underestimates the plate compliance, except when very stiff cores and compliant face sheets are used, as a result of transverse core shear deformation, not accounted for in this theory. Parametric studies are conducted using FEA to examine the influence of transverse shear moduli of the core and specimen dimensions on the plate compliance. The influences of indentation at load introduction and support locations, and overhang (oversized panel) are also examined. A test fixture is designed where two diagonally opposite corners of the panel are loaded, while the other two corners are supported to provide twisting deformation of the panel. Tests were conducted on square sandwich panels consisting of aluminum face sheets over various PVC foam cores. CLPT was found to greatly underestimate the experimental plate compliance. Finite element predictions of the plate compliance were in much closer agreement with the experimental data.     

Low-velocity impact response of sandwich beams with functionally graded core

The problem of low-speed impact of a one-dimensional sandwich panel by a rigid cylindrical projectile is considered. The core of the sandwich panel is functionally graded such that the density, and hence its stiffness, vary through the thickness. The problem is a combination of static contact problem and dynamic response of the sandwich panel obtained via a simple nonlinear spring-mass model (quasi-static approximation). The variation of core Young’s modulus is represented by a polynomial in the thickness coordinate, but the Poisson’s ratio is kept constant. The two-dimensional elasticity equations for the plane sandwich structure are solved using a combination of Fourier series and Galerkin method. The contact problem is solved using the assumed contact stress distribution method. For the impact problem we used a simple dynamic model based on quasi-static behavior of the panel—the sandwich beam was modeled as a combination of two springs, a linear spring to account for the global deflection and a nonlinear spring to represent the local indentation effects. Results indicate that the contact stiffness of the beam with graded core increases causing the contact stresses and other stress components in the vicinity of contact to increase. However, the values of maximum strains corresponding to the maximum impact load are reduced considerably due to grading of the core properties. For a better comparison, the thickness of the functionally graded cores was chosen such that the flexural stiffness was equal to that of a beam with homogeneous core. The results indicate that functionally graded cores can be used effectively to mitigate or completely prevent impact damage in sandwich composites.
