Abstract
With the development of additive manufacturing technology, lattice structures with complex topological shapes can be manufactured. In order to combine the advantages of stretch dominance and bend dominance, a hierarchical lattice structure composed of variable unit cell is proposed. The hierarchical lattice structures are manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Five different cell arrangement combinations are designed based on face centered cubic (FCC) with octet truss structure (OTS) at the macro scale. The mechanical performance and deformation behavior of the hierarchical lattice was investigated systematically through compressive experiments and numerical simulations. The deformation modes were captured with a digital camera. Then, the crashworthiness design on the Row layered structure parametric analysis was performed to discuss the effect of geometrical parameters including component ratio and size ratio. The results indicated that the hierarchical structure exhibits a mixed deformation mode among those the Row layered structure has the best energy absorption characteristics. And the specific ratios of these geometrical parameters significantly enhance the energy absorption of hierarchical structure. Overall, this work not only provides a novel solution for designing hierarchical structures, but also highlights the advantages of additive manufacturing techniques for manufacturing complex structures.
期刊介绍:
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
