Measurement of stress distribution in sandwich beams under four-point bending

The bending-stress distributions through thickness in sandwich-composite beams are different from those obtained by conventional composite-beam theory because of the shear effect of the core, especially when the ratio of elastic moduli of face to core (k=E _f /E _c ) is large. Accordingly, the stress distributions in sandwich beams of composite materials with various combinations of face and core materials subjected to four-point bending are analyzed by introducing the multilayer-buitup theory. The bending stiffnesses of face and core, and the relative displacement between both faces are taken into consideration in the analysis. Photoelastic measurements were carried out on model specimens having four differentk-values and the applicable ranges of the two theories are discussed on the basis of the experimental results. It is shown that the experimental-stress distributions in sandwich-composite beams havingk-values larger than 120 can be well explained by the multilayer-builtup theory. The ratio of the coupling moment due to the axial forces in the two faces to the applied total moment, which denotes the sandwich structural efficiency, can be well estimated by the multilayer-builtup theory. The availability of this simple onedimensional theory should be useful in the structural design of sandwich beams with a small-core rigidity.     

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.     

爆炸载荷下正弦曲边三维负泊松比夹芯板的动态响应和吸能特性

具有优异能量吸收特性的负泊松比结构在抗爆炸冲击防护领域有广阔的应用前景。为进一步提升夹芯板的抗爆性能,提出了一种在X、Y方向力学特性相同的正弦曲边三维负泊松比夹芯板用于防爆保护。采用数值模拟方法,对夹芯板在空爆载荷下的动态响应和吸能特性进行了研究,分析了夹芯板塑性拉伸和弯曲对背面板变形模式和轴向偏转分布的影响,并探究了爆炸距离、炸药质量、面板厚度和芯层关键结构参数对夹芯板变形和能量吸收的影响。结果表明,在空爆载荷下,夹芯板的动态响应过程可分为芯层压缩、整体变形和自由振动3个阶段。后面板在纵向（X方向）和横向（Y方向）上的抗变形能力无明显差异。随着炸药质量增加和爆炸距离减小,夹芯板的后面板中心位移增加,芯层吸能占比减小。此外,采用薄前面板和厚后面板的夹芯板可以提高芯层的吸能占比。当分别增加相同的前、后面板厚度时,前面板厚度对减小后面板中心位移的影响更显著。当芯层厚度从0.6 mm减小至0.2 mm时,后面板中心位移减小49.0%,总能量吸收增加86.7%;芯层振幅从0.2 mm增大至1.0 mm时,后面板中心位移减小20.7%,总能量吸收大致不变;芯层高度从10 mm增大至18 mm时,后面板中心位移减小88.3%,总能量吸收增加56.9%;芯层宽长比从0.56减小至0.2时,后面板中心位移减小39%,总能量吸收增加47.4%。

     

A solution including skin effect for stiffness and stress field of sandwich honeycomb core

Honeycomb sandwich panels have been increasingly used in every possible field, and their efficient load carrying capacity attributes have attracted considerable attention. All previous studies have been focused mainly on stiffness, neglecting for the most part skin effects. This paper represents an important further contribution by developing an analytical model that permits the computation of stiffnesses as well as interfacial stresses considering the skin-effect for hexagonal honeycomb sandwich, subjected to in-plane and out-of-plane forces. An explicit analytical model is derived based on equilibrium equations, where boundary conditions imposed by the skin effect are appropriately considered. The accuracy of the solution is verified through close correlations with existing stiffness formulations and finite element results. The skin effect on both stiffness and interfacial stress distribution is analytically defined. The present model is then used to carry out a parametric study on interfacial stresses, and to detect the critical sections in the structure where further consideration should be given for design purposes. The method provided in this study can be used for accurate analysis and design of sandwich structures.

Parametric study of an elliptical fuselage made of a sandwich composite structure

We size the shell thickness of a pressurised elliptical fuselage and analyse the weight gains or savings compared to a circular fuselage. Three fuselage construction cases are analysed: a monolithic construction, a symmetric sandwich with two facesheets of equal thicknesses separated by a lightweight core, and an unsymmetric sandwich with two facesheets of different thicknesses. We develop a proper dimensionless analysis comparing the proposed elliptical fuselage with a circular one for two different scenarios: equivalent cross-section areas and enclosing a similar rectangular box. We apply a semi-analytical thin shell theory to compute the loading due to pressurisation around the circumference of the fuselage cross-section. We select the facesheet thicknesses above and below the sandwich core at every location to minimise weight. The goal is to compute the structural weight gain or penalty that is incurred by replacing a circular fuselage with an elliptical one to resist internal pressurisation in function of the scenario, eccentricity, fuselage diameter, and sandwich core thickness. We find that an elliptical cross-section incurs a significant penalty in terms of necessary facesheet thickness even with an optimised unsymmetric sandwich construction. This penalty can be minimised by keeping the eccentricity low, the loading intensity low and the core thick.

The optimum layer number of multi-layer pyramidal core sandwich columns under in-plane compression

The effect of the face thickness to core height ratio on different multi-layer pyramidal core sandwich columns under in-plane compression is investigated theoretically and numerically. Numerical simulation is in good agreement with theory. Results indicate that one specified face thickness to core height ratio corresponds to one optimum layer number of multi-layer pyramidal core sandwich columns in consideration of engineering application. This result can guide the sandwich structure design.     

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.

Interaction effects of multiple damage mechanisms in composite sandwich beams subject to time dependent loading

Theoretical models are formulated to explain evolution and interaction of the damage mechanisms for multiple delamination of the face-sheet and core crushing in composite sandwich beams subjected to dynamically applied out-of-plane loading and continuously supported by rigid planes. The models are based on simplified one-dimensional formulations and describe the impacted face of the sandwich as a set of Timoshenko beams joined by cohesive interfaces and resting on a nonlinear Winkler foundation, which approximates the response of the core; the dimensionless formulation highlights the material/structure groups that control the mechanical response. The characteristic features of the problem and transitions in damage progression are explored on varying geometrical parameters and material properties and magnitude and duration of the applied load. For quasi-static loading and low velocity impact, core/face-sheet interactions generate energy barriers to the propagation of delaminations; the efficacy of the barriers in controlling damage in the face-sheets depends on the relative stiffnesses of face-sheet and core and on the foundation yielding strength. For dynamic loading conditions, significant dynamic effects arise in certain regimes and cause substantial changes in behavior: shielding of the crack tip stress fields provided by the foundation is reduced, especially after the load is removed when important delamination openings occur; core plasticity generally opposes this behavior and limits damage in the face-sheet.     

考虑蜂窝高度效应的蜂窝夹芯板稳定性分析

蜂窝芯层等效弹性参数因受表板影响与其高度紧密相关,而传统蜂窝夹芯板稳定性模型未对其加以考虑。本文基于精化锯齿层合板理论,建立了蜂窝夹芯板稳定性模型。模型借助于解析均匀化方法获取蜂窝芯层等效模量,并因引入该方法而能够反映由蜂窝高度改变引起的蜂窝芯子等效模量变化对屈曲载荷产生的影响,即捕捉到了蜂窝芯子的高度效应。以四边简支蜂窝夹芯方板受单向面内压缩载荷作用为例进行了算例分析。算例结果表明,蜂窝芯子高度效应在蜂窝高度较低时明显,随着蜂窝高度增加,高度效应逐渐减弱。此外,高度效应在蜂窝芯层厚度比例较大时明显,随着蜂窝芯层厚度比例的持续下降,高度效应减弱直至消失。     

Harmonic waves in elastic sandwich plates

Motions of a sandwich plate with symmetric facings are studied in the framework of the three-dimensional equations of elasticity. Both the core and facings are assumed to be isotropic and linearly elastic.Harmonic wave solutions, which satisfy traction-free face conditions and continuity conditions of tractions and displacements at the interfaces, are obtained for four cases: symmetric plane strain solutions for extensional motion, antisymmetric plane strain solutions for flexural motion, and solutions for the symmetric and antisymmetric SH-waves. The dispersion relation for each of these cases is obtained and computed. In order to exhibit the effect of the ratios of facing to core thicknesses, elastic stiffnesses and densities, on the dynamic behavior of sandwich plates, dispersion curves are computed and compared for plates with thick, light, and soft facings as well as for plates with thin, heavy, and stiff facings. Asymptotic expressions of dispersion relations for extensional, flexural, and symmetric SH-waves are obtained in explicit form, as the frequencies and wave numbers approach zero.The thickness vibrations in sandwich plates are studied in detail. The resonance frequencies and modal functions of the thickness-shear and thickness-stretch motions are obtained. Simple algebraic formulas for predicting the lowest thickness-shear and the lowest thickness-stretch frequencies are deduced. The orthogonality of the thickness modal functions is established.     

A Shear-Corrected Formulation for the Sandwich Twist Specimen

The sandwich plate twist test method involves torsion loading of a panel by application of concentrated loads at two diagonally opposite corners and supporting the panel at the other two corners. Compliance measured in this test can be used to extract the shear moduli of monolithic, composite and sandwich plates, and it may also be employed for determination of the twist stiffness, D ₆₆ . Previous studies of the plate twist specimen have shown that classical laminated plate theory does not adequately predict the compliance of sandwich panels with a low density/modulus core, as a result of transverse shear deformation. This work proposes a “shear-corrected” model for accurate prediction of the plate twist compliance by incorporation of the transverse shear stiffnesses of the core. This model was used to extract the transverse shear modulus of a range of low density PVC foam cores from the measured panel twist compliance. Good agreement with published PVC foam core shear modulus values was obtained.     

Elastoplastic bending of a sandwich bar on an elastic foundation

The elastoplastic bending of a sandwich bar with a stiff compressible core on an elastic foundation is studied. The kinematics of the bar, which is asymmetric across the thickness, is described adopting Bernoulli’s hypotheses for the face layers. The displacements of the core are assumed to vary linearly across the thickness. The foundation is described by the Winkler model. A system of equilibrium equations for displacements is derived and solved. Numerical results for a metal-polymer sandwich bar are presented __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 4, pp. 110–120, April 2007.

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.
