空心及PMI泡沫填充铝波纹板夹芯梁冲击性能的数值研究

已有文献在空心及PMI泡沫填充铝波纹夹芯梁受泡沫铝块冲击作用的实验中观察到:泡沫填充夹芯梁在相同的载荷下,比相同重量的空心夹芯梁产生更大的后面板中点塑性永久位移。为了分析实验中观察到的现象并揭示其中的力学机理,本文基于商用有限元软件Abaqus/Explicit对空心及泡沫填充铝波纹夹芯梁在冲击下的动态响应进行了数值模拟研究;通过考察芯体与面板间理想连接和脱粘两种情况,研究了界面粘结性能对夹芯梁抗冲击性能的影响。结果表明,实验结果介于这两种情况的模拟结果之间。通过分析空心及泡沫填充夹芯梁不同子结构的塑性吸能差异,发现填充泡沫后夹芯梁的前面板吸能相对于空心夹芯梁有所减小,而后面板的吸能则相对增加。对两种夹芯梁前后面板中点速度的研究表明,由于填充泡沫的波纹芯体对前后面板的支撑作用增大,减缓了前面板的变形并加剧了后面板的变形,因此通过填充泡沫可以减小夹芯梁前面板的变形和撕裂,然而会增大后面板的塑性永久位移。

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.

Plasticity of formable all-metal sandwich sheets: Virtual experiments and constitutive modeling

The mechanical behavior of a metallic sandwich sheet material composed of two flat face sheets and two bi-directionally corrugated core layers is analyzed in detail. The manufacturing of the sandwich material is simulated to obtain a detailed unit cell model which accounts for the non-uniform thickness distribution and residual stresses associated with the stamping of the core layers. Virtual experiments are performed by subjecting the unit cell model to various combinations of bi-axial in-plane loading including the special cases of uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, equi-biaxial tension and shear. The results demonstrate that the core structure’s contribution to the in-plane load carrying capacity of the sandwich sheet material is similar to that of the face sheets. The numerical results are also used to identify the effective yield surface and hardening response of both the core layer and the face sheets. An anisotropic yield function with linear pressure dependency is proposed to approximate the equal-plastic work surfaces for the core structure and face sheets. Furthermore, a new two-surface model with non-linear interpolation based on plastic work density is presented to describe the observed combined isotropic-distortional hardening of the core structure.     

Failure behavior of composite sandwich structures under local loading

Usually when analyzing the mechanical response of foam-cored fiber-reinforced composite sandwich structures to localized static loading, the face sheets are treated as a linear-elastic material and no damage initiation and growth is considered. However, practice shows that at higher indentation magnitudes damage develops in the face sheet in the area of contact with the indentor, which could lead to local failure of the face laminate due to the loss of bending stiffness and strength. Therefore, the main objective of the present study is to develop a damage model for predicting the local failure in the composite face sheet and its influence on the load–displacement behavior of sandwich structures under local loading. For this purpose, the Hoffman failure criterion is incorporated into a finite element modeling procedure using the ABAQUS program system. Results deducted from the modeling procedure are compared with experimental data obtained in the case of static indentation tests performed on sandwich beam specimens using steel cylindrical indentors. It is shown that taking into account the damage in the face sheet leads to a substantial improvement in the performance of the model when simulating the mechanical behavior of the sandwich structures at higher indentation values.     

One-dimensional response of sandwich plates to underwater shock loading

The one-dimensional shock response of sandwich plates is investigated for the case of identical face sheets separated by a compressible foam core. The dynamic response of the sandwich plates is analysed for front face impulsive loading, and the effect of strain hardening of the core material is determined. For realistic ratios of core mass to face sheet mass, it is found that the strain hardening capacity of the core has a negligible effect upon the average through-thickness compressive strain developed within the core. Consequently, it suffices to model the core as an ideally plastic-locking solid. The one-dimensional response of sandwich plates subjected to an underwater pressure pulse is investigated by both a lumped parameter model and a finite element (FE) model. Unlike the monolithic plate case, cavitation does not occur at the fluid-structure interface, and the sandwich plates remain loaded by fluid until the end of the core compression phase. The momentum transmitted to the sandwich plate increases with increasing core strength, suggesting that weak sandwich cores may enhance the underwater shock resistance of sandwich plates.     

Critical velocity of sandwich cylindrical shell under moving internal pressure

Critical velocity of an infinite long sandwich shell under moving internal pressure is studied using the sandwich shell theory and elastodynamics theory. Propagation of axisymmetric free harmonic waves in the sandwich shell is studied using the sandwich shell theory by considering compressibility and transverse shear deformation of the core, and transverse shear deformation of face sheets. Based on the elastodynamics theory, displacement components expanded by Legendre polynomials, and position-dependent elastic constants and densities are introduced into the equations of motion. Critical velocity is the minimum phase velocity on the desperation relation curve obtained by using the two methods. Numerical examples and the finite element （FE） simulations are presented. The results show that the two critical velocities agree well with each other, and two desperation relation curves agree well with each other when the wave number k is relatively small. However, two limit phase velocities approach to the shear wave velocities of the face sheet and the core respectively when k limits to infinite. The two methods are efficient in the investigation of wave propagation in a sandwich cylindrical shell when k is relatively small. The critical velocity predicted in the FE simulations agrees with theoretical prediction.     

Buckling driven debonding in sandwich columns

A compression loaded sandwich column that contains a debond is analyzed using a geometrically non-linear finite element model. The model includes a cohesive zone along one face sheet/core interface whereby the debond can extend by interface crack growth. Two geometrical imperfections are introduced; a global imperfection of the sandwich column axis and a local imperfection of the debonded face sheet axis. The model predicts the sandwich column to be very sensitive to the initial debond length and the local face sheet imperfection. The study shows that the sensitivity to the face sheet imperfection results from two mechanisms: (a) interaction of local debond buckling and global buckling and (b) the development of a damaged zone at the debond crack tip. Based on the pronounced imperfection sensitivity, the author predicts that an experimental measurement of the strength of sandwich structures may exhibit a large scatter caused by geometrical variations between test specimens.
