They exhibit enhanced indentation resistance, synclastic deformation, high fracture toughness and high energy absorption. Several sorts of auxetic structures exist, such as re-entrant, arrowhead, chiral, etc. The re-entrant structure is the most common sort of auxetic structures. This paper investigates the mechanical behavior of the re-entrant auxetic structure using experimental and numerical methods. Two modified re-entrant topologies are proposed based on the original (conventional) re-entrant topology. Using these modified topologies, two re-entrant auxetic sandwich structures are designed and 3D printed using fused deposition modeling (FDM) out of polylactic acid (PLA). Conducting compression, three and four-point bending tests, the compressive and flexural performance of the two new re-entrant auxetic sandwich structures is studied and compared with the original (conventional) re-entrant structure. More specifically, Poisson’s ratio, compressive modulus, flexural stiffness and maximum loads of the structures are focused and studied. The mechanical properties of auxetic sandwich structures are improved using modified topologies. The new re-entrant auxetic sandwich structures show 11% higher normalized compressive modulus and 9% higher normalized flexural stiffness than the original re-entrant structure.","PeriodicalId":17215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sandwich Structures & Materials","volume":"34 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142188220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, it is crucial to consider the effects of hail impact on foam sandwich structures. This paper aims to investigate the impact of ice projectiles on carbon Fiber/PMI foam sandwich structures, using both experimental and numerical simulation approaches. The gas cannon was employed to launch ice projectiles, which were then directed towards the carbon Fiber/PMI foam sandwich structures. Additionally, a numerical simulation model was developed using ANSYS/LS-DYNA software to analyse the impact of these ice projectiles. Moreover, the validity of the finite element model was confirmed through experimental verification. The study involves simulations of single-point continuous impacts of ice projectiles and multi-point simultaneous impacts on carbon Fiber/PMI foam sandwich structures, while maintaining the same total impact energy. By varying the distribution of ice projectiles, the dynamic response and damage characteristics of the target plate are analysed. Specifically, the research aims to investigative the deformation characteristics of the target plate and the energy absorption of the structure. The research results underscore the importance of considering the distribution of ice projectiles in mitigating structural damage caused by hail impact.","PeriodicalId":17215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sandwich Structures & Materials","volume":"42 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141935588","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents the design of NPR flexible cushioning sandwich composites featuring a double-arrow structure (DAS). The DAS is optimized using a modified genetic algorithm, and the cohesive property is leveraged to reinforce the stiffening effect of SSG, thereby improving the material’s cushioning efficiency. The synergistic effect of the DAS and SSG and the law of SSG arrangement on the energy absorption efficiency of cushioning were revealed using the finite element method and experiment. It can be found that the size effect of the DAS significantly contributed to the enhancement of the energy-absorption efficiency of the SSG stiffening. In double-arrow sandwich composite (DASC), the larger reversed-triangle deformation and the increased number of reversed-triangle configurations, amplified the shear stiffening of the SSG, improving the impact load dissipation and energy absorption efficiency of sandwich composite. The energy absorption efficiency of the DASC was improved owing to the synergistic effect of the DAS cohesive effect and the SSG stiffening properties, with the energy absorption ratio and mass specific energy absorption increased by 83.02% and 136% compared to neat polyurethane. The DASC optimized in this study has good flexibility and energy absorption capacity and is promising for application in the field of flexible protection.","PeriodicalId":17215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sandwich Structures & Materials","volume":"54 79 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141935587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The width of the transition region was precisely regulated by adjusting the gradient control parameter r in the sigmoid function. Composite sandwich structures (CSS) were fabricated by bonding two carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) face sheets to a 3D printed polylactic acid (PLA) core. The bending performance and failure mechanisms of the CSSs with the hybrid TPMS cores were analyzed through three-point bending tests and finite element analysis (FEA). The results indicate that as r increases, the transition region of the hybrid TPMS cores becomes narrower, leading to a gradual decrease in bending strength, bending stiffness, and core shear stress. The failure process of the CSSs in the experiment aligns well with the FEA results. Through comparative analysis of the stiffness-to-weight and strength-to-weight ratios of the CSSs with the native TPMS cores, the hybrid TPMS cores with a wider transition region enhance the structural efficiency of the CSSs, while those with a narrower transition region negatively impact the performance of the CSSs.","PeriodicalId":17215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sandwich Structures & Materials","volume":"115 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141935589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their widespread use, there has been a constant effort to further improve their mechanical properties. This investigation delves into the influence of a Functionally Graded (FG) core, inspired by nature, in the enhancement of flexural properties of additively manufactured sandwich beams. The design space of the proposed sandwich beam with FG core of cellular cells in triangular shape is explored using an analytical formulation combining the Euler-Bernoulli theory and the Gibson-Ashby approach to develop a flexural performance index. The study involves examining a linear variation of the core density. To validate the analytical predictions, linear-elastic Finite Element (FE) models are created in the ABAQUS commercial FE program. Subsequently, the sandwich beams with FG core are additively manufactured using a polyjet printer (Stratasys J55), eliminates the need for secondary bonding between the face sheet and core. Two different build orientations are examined to investigate the influence of build orientation on flexural properties. The numerical and experimental results closely align with the analytical findings, indicating an approximate 31% increase in the performance index with the FG core. Noteworthy is that sandwich beams featuring FG cores exhibits a progressive failure, whereas those with uniform cores displayed sudden and catastrophic failure. As a result, the suggested FG core design not only contributes to a slight improvement in energy absorption capacity but, more significantly, displays fail-safe failure characteristics. These findings present significant potential for high-performance, lightweight sandwich structures in aerospace and biomedical applications.","PeriodicalId":17215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sandwich Structures & Materials","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141771054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The energy absorbing characteristics of the BHSS with different layers were compared through FE simulations, and the results indicated that the 4-layer BHSS displayed superior crashworthiness. Then, parametric studies were conducted to investigate the influence of layer-height gradient and wall-thickness gradient on the energy absorption performance and deformation modes of the BHSS. It was confirmed that the double gradient designs significantly reduced the initial peak force and improved the specific energy absorption of the BHSS. Finally, the multi-objectives optimization based on response surface method and the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) was employed to optimize the geometric parameters of the BHSS, aiming at the optimal configuration for better crashworthiness.

Two parallel edges of the plate facings are simply supported, one edge is clamped, and another edge is free (SSCF). The wrinkling problem is solved using the Ritz method in which the total energy functional of plate faces and core is obtained based on the original model, considering nonlinear variation of the transverse displacement of the core material from the value of facing’s deflection to zero. Application of the Ritz method yields formulas for the calculation of critical compressive load. The critical load is found using a minimization with respect to the parameter of the wrinkling waves evolution and the parameter characterizing the rate of fading of the transverse displacement. Based on the derived formulas, the effects of facing and core thicknesses, and modulus elasticity of core material on the critical wrinkling load are studied. The results of calculations are verified using a finite element analysis. It is shown that the value of critical load calculated based on the proposed model is more accurate compared to that calculated using the Winkler-Pasternak model, particularly for the sandwich plates with thin faces and thick core.","PeriodicalId":17215,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sandwich Structures & Materials","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2024-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140827090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study delves into the impact resistance of bionic turtle shell structures with various suture shapes. This article analyzes the low-velocity impact of carbon fiber epoxy resin prepreg (CF/EP) composite sandwich panels with a suture interface by using the finite element simulation. The simulations encompass closed and unclosed models featuring bonded and unbonded tips, each with diverse trapezoidal geometries (triangular, trapezoidal, anti-trapezoidal, and rectangular). The findings reveal that sandwich structures with suture interfaces demonstrate significantly enhanced impact resistance compared to those lacking sutures, displaying 3–9 times greater deformation capacity and 20–30 times higher energy absorption capacity. The impact resistance of the triangular suture interface exceeded that of other bioinspired suture shapes, with trapezoidal and anti-trapezoidal sutures also enhancing stiffness, strength, and toughness. Additionally, a 6° bonded tip angle resulted in optimal performance for the triangular suture interface across all analyzed perspectives. The simulation study in this paper provides comprehensive and reliable data on low-velocity impact results, offering fundamental insights for researchers to design composite material structures that meet specific mechanical requirements effectively.
