Abstract

The energy absorption characteristics and toughness of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics (CFRP) are improved from two aspects of structure and material. In terms of structure, an all-composite star-triangle honeycomb structure (CSTH) with negative Poisson’s ratio characteristic was designed and fabricated firstly. From the aspect of material, the polyetherimide (PEI) film was added into the layers of CFRP to enhance the toughness. A quasi-static compression experiment of CSTH was carried out. Besides, environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM) and ultra depth of field microscope (UDFM) were used to analyze the microstructure of CSTH. The failure mode and damage mechanism of CSTH were compared and revealed novelly from macroscopic and microscopic aspects. The delamination resistance of carboxylic multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) which was added between PEI film and carbon fiber layers was investigated. The theoretical prediction model of the equivalent elastic modulus and the ultimate compressive strength of CSTH was established. The theoretical results were verified and modified by the experimental results. The maximum error of theoretical results was less than 15% compared with that of experimental results. Results showed that CSTH had a better energy absorption characteristic compared with the re-entrant honeycomb structure and X honeycomb structure. In addition, the foam and PEI film could enhance the toughness of CSTH.

期刊介绍： Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field. The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest. Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials. Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
