These challenges arise from the limited strain rate of the fiber layers compared to the metallic layers. Consequently, conventional approaches to form FML parts are often inadequate. To produce parts free of defects such as fractures and wrinkles, this study investigates the effects of Thermo-stamping (TH-S), in addition to fiber orientation, on the forming behavior of FMLs, employing two different aluminum layer thicknesses. A comprehensive approach combining finite element simulations and experimental analyses was employed. The study investigated thinning of aluminum alloy layers, stress distributions across different layers, and the influence of fiber orientation. The FML blanks are made of a middle woven glass fiber prepreg with a thickness of 0.2 mm, using a thermosetting epoxy system, and Al 2024-T3 alloy sheets with varying thicknesses of 0.3 mm and 0.5 mm. Material behavior was evaluated using Abaqus software, applying the Johnson-Cook criterion for damage initiation in ductile metals and Hashin’s theory for damage initiation in fiber-reinforced composites. These simulations were then compared with experimental results. The findings highlight the potential of the TH-S process to enhance the forming performance of FMLs, particularly evident in the case of the 0°/45° middle layer fiber, which exhibits a higher forming depth and a more uniform thickness distribution. Additionally, a greater flexibility of the glass fiber under the 0°/45° layup compared to the 0/90 layup was detected. This flexibility provides the aluminum layers with more freedom of deformation in the plastic domain. These advancements hold promise for widespread industrial applications of FMLs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":468,"journal":{"name":"Applied Composite Materials","volume":"31 5","pages":"1767 - 1789"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141586929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A dynamic model of the PFCLs subjected to the plane acoustic excitation load is firstly proposed with consideration of upper and lower composite skins and a uniform porous foam. The vibration and acoustic solutions of the PFCLs with acoustic energy excitation are further acquired using the first-order shear deformation theory, the finite element method, the Rayleigh integral approach, the mode superposition technique, etc. Subsequently, a vibro-acoustic optimization model is established by accounting for appropriate design variables and constraints, in which resonance responses, sound transmission losses, and overall structural mass are taken as objective functions, respectively, and the artificial immune clonal selection algorithm is adopted to improve the efficiency in the optimization calculations. After such an algorithm and the current model are thoroughly validated, single-objective, dual-objective, and multi-objective optimizations are undertaken on the PFCLs to achieve the optimal design parameters. The research results indicate that it is hard to enhance the vibro-acoustic resistance and lightweight property of the PFCLs simultaneously, which means some compromise results of design parameters need to be chosen.

Experimental fracture energy and R-curves for both materials were determined using the most common data reduction methods, such as the compliance calibration (CC), the area (AM) and the Irwin relationship (IM).

Such a surrogate model maps the cohesive properties with the corresponding load–displacement, crack-displacement and energy-displacement curves with interrogation times in the order of 20 ms and relative errors in the load–displacement and crack growth less than 2%. Such performance enabled its encapsulation to approximate the inverse problem to infer the cohesive parameters with the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) directly from the experimental load–displacement and crack-displacement curves.

Through-thickness stitching provides a third-direction reinforcement to enhance the interlaminar tensile and shear strengths. In this study, quasi-isotropic composite test specimens were manufactured with a novel through-thickness robotic chain stitching with different patterns and tested under uniaxial tensile and three-point bend loadings. A design of experiments (DoE) approach was used to investigate the influence of stitch parameters (stitch density, stitch angle, and linear thread density) on the tensile strength, tensile modulus, and flexural strength of stitched composites. Experimental results are then used to develop a statistically informed response surface model (RSM) to find optimal stitching parameters based on a maximum predicted tensile strength, tensile modulus, and flexural strength.

A lightweight inchworm-like crawling robot made of bistable structure driven by electrothermal actuation is proposed in this paper. The robot has the characteristics of large deformation and a certain extent of load capacity. The motion of the crawling robot was realized by the common effect of the bistable structure and the designed feet with anisotropic friction. The unstable transition process between snap-through and snap-back processes of the bistable structure was utilized to provide morphological deformation. Meanwhile the feet with anisotropic friction transformed the deformation to unidirectional movement of the crawling robot. Through electric experiments, the electrothermal driving influencing factors of bistable structure are tested, including heating time, maximum temperature and curvature change, which demonstrates the possibility of driving inchworm-like crawling robot with bistable structure and large-deformation. And the structure of the inchworm-like crawling robot assembled by a bistable shell pasted with an electric heating sheet and the designed feet with anisotropic friction. In order to evaluate the motion properties and load-carrying function of the inchworm-like crawling robot, the step length test under different voltages and the experiment of the crawling robot load-carrying capacity were completed. The results show that the crawling robot performs well in load-carrying, can achieve crawling movement under the condition of carrying 10 g and 20 g objects.
