Abstract
Lattice structure is widely used to achieve lightweight while damping is an indispensable property for evaluating the dynamic properties of lattice structures. This paper studies the damping performance of the lattice structures by experiments and analysis. A series of lattice specimens including single-material and bi-material lattices are prepared. The bi-material lattice is designed by filling the metal lattice with epoxy material. By this way, the stiffness of the bi-material lattice is guaranteed, and the effect of vibration absorption is realized at the same time. Different from the traditional proportional damping method of single-material structure, the non-proportional damping model is used for the bi-material lattice structure. The homogenization method is used to calculate the equivalent complex modulus of the lattice. An inverse method is proposed in this paper to obtain the loss factor of in-situ epoxy material filled in the metal lattice. Finally, lattice specimens with local damping are prepared and tested, and the experimental and simulation data are compared.
期刊介绍:
Materials and Design is a multi-disciplinary journal that publishes original research reports, review articles, and express communications. The journal focuses on studying the structure and properties of inorganic and organic materials, advancements in synthesis, processing, characterization, and testing, the design of materials and engineering systems, and their applications in technology. It aims to bring together various aspects of materials science, engineering, physics, and chemistry.
The journal explores themes ranging from materials to design and aims to reveal the connections between natural and artificial materials, as well as experiment and modeling. Manuscripts submitted to Materials and Design should contain elements of discovery and surprise, as they often contribute new insights into the architecture and function of matter.
