基于Layerwise离散层理论的复合材料夹层板屈曲分析

复合材料夹层结构由于面板和芯层力学特性差异较大,屈曲分析时要分层考虑各层的剪切变形。基于Reddy的Layerwise离散层理论,假设每一层变形服从一阶剪切变形理论,在统一的位移场描述下,推导建立了一种用于复合材料夹层结构屈曲分析的四节点四边形板单元,并采用混合插值方法对单元的剪切锁定进行了修正。分别对三种典型的夹层板结构进行线性屈曲有限元分析,并将计算结果与文献中已有结果进行了对比。结果表明：本文的分析方法能离散考虑各层的力学特性,将结构离散为多层时,计算结果与三维弹性理论或高阶板理论吻合;将结构等效为单层时,计算结果与基于一阶剪切变形理论的文献结构吻合,验证了单元的有效性。

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.     

Design optimization of truss-cored sandwiches with homogenization

Lightweight metallic sandwich plates comprising periodic truss cores and solid facesheets are optimally designed against minimum weights. Constitutive models of the truss core are developed using homogenization techniques which, together with effective single-layer sandwich approaches, form the basis of a two-dimensional (2D) single-layer sandwich model. The 2D model is employed to simulate the mechanical behaviors of truss-cored sandwich panels having a variety of core topologies. The types of loading considered include bending, transverse shear and in-plane compression. The validities of the 2D model predictions are checked against direct FE simulations on three-dimensional (3D) truss core sandwich structures. Optimizations using the 2D sandwich model are subsequently performed to determine the minimum weights of truss-cored sandwiches subjected to various failure constraints: overall and local buckling, yielding and facesheet wrinkling. The performances of the optimized truss core sandwiches with 4-rod unit cell and solid truss members and pyramidal unit cell with hollow truss members are compared with benchmark lightweight structures such as honeycomb-cored sandwiches, tetrahedral core sandwiches and hat-stiffened single layer plates.     

Sandwich modeling with an application to the residual strength analysis of a damaged compression panel

Finite element models of sandwich structures are often based on classical sandwich theory which reduces the essentially three-dimensional composite — a combination of two high strength faces separated by a light weight core — to a two-dimensional, deformable reference surface to which certain appropriate stiffness properties against stretch, bending and transverse shear are attached.The simplification introduced in this way is well established, but it suffers from a number of drawbacks that restricts its range of applicability rather severely. The drawbacks concern among others, the kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions that prohibit a realistic application of the loading along the edges. They also concern the inability of this model to study local effects such as buckling of the faces.In the present paper, we demonstrate how, with a relatively simple means, a sandwich model can be introduced that does not suffer from the deficiencies mentioned above. Moreover, this improved model provides the possibility to study the detrimental effect of delamination of the faces, and/or, decohesion zones between the core and faces, on the buckling strength of sandwich compression panels.The modification proposed here makes use of existing shell finite elements that are standard in many finite element codes. These shell elements are used to model the deformation of the faces of the sandwich, while the coupling between the two shell components is carried out by applying an appropriate penalty function that represents the deformation of the core.In this paper, we describe this model in some detail and solve an example problem involving the buckling of a sandwich plate with a partially debonded face plate.     

Buckling of soft-core sandwich plates with angle-ply face sheets by means of a C0 finite element formulation

In order to avoid using C¹ interpolation functions in finite element implementation of the previous zig–zag theories, artificial constraints, in which the first derivatives of transverse displacement will be replaced by the assumed variables, are usually employed. However, such assumption will violate continuity conditions of transverse shear stresses at interfaces. Differing from previous work, this paper will propose a C⁰-type zig–zag theory for buckling analysis of laminated composite and sandwich plates with general configurations. The first derivatives of transverse displacement have been taken out from a displacement field of the proposed zig–zag theory. Thus, the C⁰ interpolation functions are only required in finite element implementations of the proposed model. Without use of any artificial constraints, an eight-node quadrilateral element based on the proposed model is presented by incorporating the terms associated with the geometric stiffness matrix. In order to verify performance of the proposed model, several buckling problems of sandwich plates with soft core have been analyzed. Numerical results show that the proposed model is able to predict accurately buckling loads of the soft-core sandwich plates with varying fiber orientations of face sheets.     

Interactive buckling in long thin-walled rectangular hollow section struts

An analytical model describing the nonlinear interaction between global and local buckling modes in long thin-walled rectangular hollow section struts under pure compression founded on variational principles is presented. A system of nonlinear differential and integral equations subject to boundary conditions is formulated and solved using numerical continuation techniques. For the first time, the equilibrium behaviour of such struts with different cross-section joint rigidities is highlighted with characteristically unstable interactive buckling paths and a progressive change in the local buckling wavelength. With increasing joint rigidity within the cross-section, the severity of the unstable post-buckling behaviour is shown to be mollified. The results from the analytical model are validated using a nonlinear finite element model developed within the commercial package Abaqus and show excellent comparisons. A simplified method to calculate the local buckling load of the more compressed web undergoing global buckling and the corresponding global mode amplitude at the secondary bifurcation is also developed. Parametric studies on the effect of varying the length and cross-section aspect ratio are also presented that demonstrate the effectiveness of the currently developed models.     

高速颗粒流冲击下负泊松比力学超材料夹芯梁的动态响应及缓冲吸能机理

建立了颗粒流子弹发射有限元模型,利用离散元和有限元的联合模拟方法,研究了高速颗粒流冲击负泊松比内凹蜂窝夹芯梁的动态响应及缓冲吸能机理。分析了加载冲量、冲击角、芯材强度以及颗粒流子弹与面板间的摩擦力等因素对夹芯梁动态响应的影响。研究结果表明:夹芯梁在正向颗粒流子弹冲击载荷作用下表现为局部凹陷和整体弯曲的耦合变形模式,面内设计芯材因胞壁弯曲呈现局部内凹的变形模式,面外设计芯材因胞壁屈曲呈现局部褶皱的变形模式。在等面密度的条件下,采用面外设计的硬芯夹芯梁面板的跨中最大挠度比采用面内设计的软芯夹芯梁小,但初始冲击力峰值和冲击力整体水平较高,冲击力响应时间较短。夹芯梁前后面板的跨中最大挠度与冲击载荷近似呈对数线性递增关系。与正向冲击相比,斜冲击下夹芯梁的变形模式具有非对称性,局部凹陷程度减小;在颗粒流子弹不同冲击角度作用下,夹芯梁前后面板的跨中最大挠度、初始冲击力峰值以及传递到夹芯梁的动能和动量占比随冲击角度的增大而减小,而颗粒流子弹与夹芯梁面板间的摩擦因数对夹芯梁的动态响应无显著影响。     

Wrinkling of tubes in bending from finite strain three-dimensional continuum theory

The problem of a tube under pure bending is first solved as a generalised plane strain problem. This then provides the prebifurcation solution, which is uniform along the length of the tube. The onset of wrinkling is then predicted by introducing buckling modes involving a sinusoidal variation of the displacements along the length of the tube. Both the prebuckling analysis and the bifurcation check require only a two-dimensional finite element discretisation of the cross-section with special elements. The formulation does not rely on any of the approximations of a shell theory, or small strains. The same elements can be used for pure bending and local buckling a prismatic beam of arbitrary cross-section. Here the flow theory of plasticity with isotropic hardening is used for the prebuckling solution, but the bifurcation check is based on the incremental moduli of a finite strain deformation theory of plasticity.For tubes under pure bending, the results for limit point collapse (due to ovalisation) and bifurcation buckling (wrinkling) are compared to existing analysis and test results, to see whether removing the approximations of a shell theory and small strains (used in the existing analyses) leads to a better prediction of the experimental results. The small strain analysis results depend on whether the true or nominal stress–strain curve is used. By comparing small and finite strain analysis results it is found that the small strain approximation is good if one uses (a) the nominal stress–strain curve in compression to predict bifurcation buckling (wrinkling), and (b) the true stress–strain curve to calculate the limit point collapse curvature.In regard to the shell theory approximations, it is found that the three-dimensional continuum theory predicts slightly shorter critical wrinkling wavelengths, especially for lower diameter-to-wall-thickness (D/t) ratios. However this difference is not sufficient to account for the significantly lower wavelengths observed in the tests.     

NONLINEAR BUCKLING BEHAVIOR OF DAMAGED COMPOSITE SANDWICH PLATES CONSIDERING THE EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENT THERMAL AND MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

On the basis of the first-order shear deformation plate theory and the zig-zag deformation assumption, an incremental finite element formulation for nonlinear buckling analysis of the composite sandwich plate is deduced and the temperature-dependent thermal and mechanical properties of composite is considered. A finite element method for thermal or thermo-mechanical coupling nonlinear buckling analysis of the composite sandwich plate with an interfacial crack damage between face and core is also developed. Numerical results and discussions concerning some typical examples show that the effects of the variation of the thermal and mechanical properties with temperature, external compressive loading, size of the damage zone and ply angle of the faces on the thermal buckling behavior are significant.

Analytical modeling and finite element simulation of the plastic collapse of sandwich beams with pin-reinforced foam cores

Analytical predictions are presented for the plastic collapse strength of lightweight sandwich beams having pin-reinforced foam cores that are loaded in 3-point bending. Both polymer and aluminum foam cores are considered, whilst the facesheet and the pins are made of either composite or metal. Four different failure modes are account for: metal facesheet yield or composite facesheet microbuckling, facesheet wrinkling, plastic shear of the core, and facesheet indentation beneath the loading rollers. A micromechanics-based model is developed and combined with the homogenization approach to calculate the effective properties of pin-reinforced foam cores. To calculate the elastic buckling strength of pin reinforcements, the pin-reinforced foam core is treated as assemblies of simply supported columns resting upon an elastic foundation. Minimum mass design of the sandwich is then obtained as a function of the prescribed structural load index, subjected to the constraint that none of the above failure modes occurs. Collapse mechanism maps are constructed and compared with the failure maps of foam-cored sandwich beams without pin reinforcements. Finite element simulations are carried out to verify the analytical model and to study the performance and failure mechanisms of the sandwich subject to loading types other than 3-point bending. The results demonstrate that the weaker the foam is, the more optimal the pin-reinforced foam core becomes, and that sandwich beams with pin-reinforced polymer foam cores are structurally more efficient than foam- or truss-cored sandwich beams.     

Sandwich column buckling – A hyperelastic formulation

The macro-buckling equations for a sandwich column are developed. A layer-wise Timoshenko beam displacement approximation is assumed. The constitutive relationships and equilibrium equations for the core and face sheets are derived using a consistent hyperelastic neo-Hookean formulation. The derivations in this paper are consistent with that of Haringx’s and Reissner’s proposal for beam actions. The buckling formulation includes the axial deformation prior to buckling and the transverse shear deformation of the core and face sheets. The buckling equations derived agree with the equation of [Allen, H.G., 1969. Analysis and Design of Structural Sandwich Panels, Pergamon, Oxford] for thick faces but are also applicable to any ratio of face sheet to core thickness and material properties. The formulation is compared to experimental results for sandwich columns and shows good comparison except for very short columns. The formulation is also compared to the buckling experimental results for short rubber rods and also compared well. The formulation does not predict a shear buckling mode.
