Abstract
The integration performance of rigid and flexible materials in composite structures is of particular interest and complexity. In this work, the lattice structure of the steel rod mesh cylinder skeleton was used to fabricate a composite structure by combining it with polyurethane (PU) as the matrix. The objective is to investigate the correlation between design structure and mechanical response associated with the combination of the metallic skeleton and polymer materials. Besides the energy absorption obtained from quasi-static loading, the vibration characteristics via a sinusoidal dynamic excitation test were analyzed by using the phonon and bandgap theory. The experimental results show that the addition of polyurethane increases the vibration suppression performance of the composite structure. The band diagram and the compress curves show that the energy absorption properties of the metal/polymer composited lattice structure are positively related to the rod diameter, whereas the influence of the rod diameter on the vibration suppression properties is opposite. The increase of axial angle has a negative influence on the energy absorption properties but improves the vibration suppression properties.
