Study on the Collapse of Pin-Reinforced Foam Sandwich Panel Cores

New fabrication technologies now allow for hybrid sandwich structures, known as X-core, to be manufactured. The X-core panels consist of a pin reinforced polymer foam core with carbon fiber face sheets. Carbon fiber or metallic (Titanium/Steel) pins are inserted into the foam core in the out-of-plane direction and extend from face sheet to face sheet. The through thickness three-point simply supported bending behavior of these panels is used to evaluate the collapse characteristics of the panels. Explicit experimental observations are used to calibrate analytical energy balance models describing the panel collapse as a function of geometry and properties. The mechanical response of X-core sandwich panels is compared to current sandwich materials for material selection.

Non-linear response of curved sandwich panels – extended high-order approach

The geometrical non-linear behavior a curved sandwich panel with a stiff or compliant core when subjected to a pressure load using the Extended High-Order Sandwich Panel theory (EHSAPT), is presented. The formulation follows the EHSAPT procedure where the in-plane. i.e circumferential rigidity of the core is considered and the distribution of the displacements through the depth of the core are presumed. These displacement distributions are the closed-form solutions of the 2D governing equations of the curved core without circumferential rigidity that appear in the HSAPT curved sandwich panel model. The mathematical formulation includes the field equations along with the appropriate boundary and continuity conditions that take into account the high-order stress resultants in the core due to the presumed distributions. Finally a numerical study is conducted for a panel loaded by a distributed pressure at the upper face sheet. It reveals that the post-buckling response of a curved sandwich panels is associated with shallow to deep wrinkling deformations of the upper face sheet in the case of a simply-supported panel or a general non-linear pattern without wrinkles in the case of pinned supports with a short span. In both cases a stable post-buckling response is observed similar to that of a plate one.     

Three-dimensional thermoelastic analysis of finite length laminated cylindrical panels with functionally graded layers

Based on the 3D thermoelasticity theory, the thermoelastic analysis of laminated cylindrical panels with finite length and functionally graded (FG) layers subjected to three-dimensional (3D) thermal loading are presented. The material properties are assumed to be temperature-dependent and graded in the thickness direction. The variations of the field variables across the panel thickness are accurately modeled by using a layerwise differential quadrature (DQ) approach. After validating the approach, as an important application, two common types of FG sandwich cylindrical panels, namely, the sandwich panels with FG face sheets and homogeneous core and the sandwich panels with homogeneous face sheets and FG core are analyzed. The effect of micromechanical modeling of the material properties on the thermoelastic behavior of the panels is studied by comparing the results obtained using the rule of mixture and Mori–Tanaka scheme. The comparison studies reveal that the difference between the results of the two micromechanical models is very small and can be neglected. Then, the effects of different geometrical parameters, material graded index and also the temperature dependence of the material properties on the thermoelastic behavior of the FG sandwich cylindrical panels are carried out.     

Imperfection sensitivity of pyramidal core sandwich structures

Lightweight metallic truss structures are currently being investigated for use within sandwich panel construction. These new material systems have demonstrated superior mechanical performance and are able to perform additional functions, such as thermal management and energy amelioration. The subject of this paper is an examination of the mechanical response of these structures. In particular, the retention of their stiffness and load capacity in the presence of imperfections is a central consideration, especially if they are to be used for a wide range of structural applications. To address this issue, sandwich panels with pyramidal truss cores have been tested in compression and shear, following the introduction of imperfections. These imperfections take the form of unbound nodes between the core and face sheets—a potential flaw that can occur during the fabrication process of these sandwich panels. Initial testing of small scale samples in compression provided insight into the influence of the number of unbound nodes but more importantly highlighted the impact of the spatial configuration of these imperfect nodes. Large scale samples, where bulk properties are observed and edge effects minimized, have been tested. The stiffness response has been compared with finite element simulations for a variety of unbound node configurations. Results for fully bound cores have also been compared to existing analytical predictions. Experimentally determined collapse strengths are also reported. Due to the influence of the spatial configuration of unbound nodes, upper and lower limits on stiffness and strength have been determined for compression and shear. Results show that pyramidal core sandwich structures are robust under compressive loading. However, the introduction of these imperfections causes rapid degradation of core shear properties.     

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.     

Elastica of sandwich panels with a transversely flexible core—A high-order theory approach

The elastica behavior of an extensional sandwich panel with a “soft” core when subjected to in-plane compressive loads is presented and it is compared with the response of its extensional equivalent single layer (ESL) with shear deformations model. The field equations along with the appropriate boundary conditions for the sandwich and the ESL panels have been derived through a variational approach following the High-order SAndwich Panel Theory (HSAPT) approach that takes into account the vertical flexibility of the core. The governing equations include the effects of the extension of the mid-surfaces of the face sheets of the sandwich panel or the mid-plane of the ESL model which the classical elastica approach misses. The results of the elastica response of a clamped-simply-supported sandwich panel and its ESL counterpart are presented and compared. They include the response along the panel, deformed shapes and equilibrium curves of in-plane loads versus structural quantities such as displacements and internal stress resultants and stresses. These results reveal that the predicted buckling load of the ESL panel is larger than that of the sandwich panel and that deep in the non-linear range the upper face sheet wrinkles with increasing overall and edge displacements and a release of the load. Hence, the use of an equivalent single layer panel especially when a sandwich panel with a compliant core is considered may lead to unsafe and unreliable predictions when large displacements and large rotations are considered.     

夹层梁总体屈曲及皱曲的有限元计算

皱曲是夹层结构的一种短波屈曲模式,通常发生于夹心较厚或夹心刚度较低的情况。由于模型规模的限制,在常规有限元建模时通常将夹层板模拟为二维板单元,这种方法忽略了面板和夹心在厚度方向上的相互作用,无法计算出皱曲模式。针对上述问题,本文首先介绍了一个计算夹层结构总体屈曲和皱曲的统一理论,并将此理论的计算结果作为理论解。为了同时...     

Special behavior of unidirectional sandwich panels with transversely flexible core under statical loading

Special features inherent in the response of ordinary (fully bonded) and delaminated sandwich panels with a transversely flexible (“soft”) core subjected to external in-plane and vertical statical loads are analyzed. The analytical formulation is based on a higher-order theory for sandwich panels with non-rigid bond layers between the face sheets and the core. The central finite difference scheme is used for discretizing the continuous formulation. The deflated iterative Arnoldi scheme for solution of a large-scale generalized eigenvalue problem is employed, as well as the quasi-Newton global framework for the natural parameter and the arc-length continuation procedures. The numerical higher-order analysis reveals that the ordinary sandwich panel behaves as a compound structure in which the local/localized, overall or interactive forms of the response can take place depending on the geometry, mechanical properties, and boundary conditions of the structure. The non-sinusoidal modes confined to the support zones of the panel may occur at critical loads much lower than those predicted on the basis of presumed sinusoidal modes. Soft-core sandwich panels possess a complex branching behavior with limit points and secondary bifurcations. The thin-film-delamination approach used in the field of the composite plates is unsuitable for the analysis of delaminated sandwich panels and consideration of the interaction between the face sheets and the core is required. The complex response of the soft-core sandwich panels can be predicted only with the aid of the enhanced higher-order theory.
