Abstract
Although metamaterials have shown their superior multiphysics responses compared to their solid counterparts, designing and deploying them requires that their durability and damage tolerance properties be well understood and characterized. The current work investigates low cycle fatigue properties of octet-based metamaterials by conducting an experimental fatigue study and identifying the failure modes and sequence within the strut-based lattices. A geometry consisting of octet cells was manufactured by selective laser sintering (SLS) using a PA2200 − Polyamide 12 material. The fatigue life was experimentally measured and compared for samples made with octets of different strut thicknesses in terms of the normalized specimen effective stiffness as a function of cycles. The progression of strut failures showed that the breaking of a strut within the main center volume of the sample was the most significant event in the fatigue life of the sample. A novel visualization technique to better analyze the finite element modeling results of the tested samples was developed and additional tests for samples with an initial state of damage demonstrated the validity of the approach.
期刊介绍:
Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address:
Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements)
Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading
Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions
Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions)
Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects
Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue
Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation)
Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering
Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation
Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.
