Angle-ply composite laminates with high anisotropy exhibit auxetic behavior within a specific range of layup angles. In this research, the influence of negative Poisson’s ratio on the mechanical response and the enhancement of the damage behavior of carbon/epoxy composite laminates under low-velocity impact has been numerically investigated. For this purpose, a MATLAB code based on classical lamination theory relationships was developed to determine the range of layup angles to achieve both negative Poisson’s ratio in-plane and through-thickness (out-of-plane). Then, the layups with the most negative through-thickness and in-plane Poisson’s ratio values were selected. Also, two new stacking sequences were investigated so that both of them partially exhibited the characteristic of negative through-thickness and in-plane Poisson’s ratio. The progressive damage model is written and implemented using a computer code in the Abaqus user-material subroutine. The progressive damage model consists of Hashin and Puck failure criteria and the damage evolution model based on the equivalent strain method to predict the initiation and evolution of damage for matrix and fiber. The results indicate that the new laminate configurations have 66% higher effective longitudinal modulus and 173% higher effective transverse modulus compared to the in-plane and through-thickness auxetic ones, respectively. In addition, the proposed configurations showed less overall damage under low-velocity impact loading compared to the auxetic laminates. Based on the investigations, the new configurations with features such as high impact force, low impact time, and low maximum displacement could be suitable for use in structures with a hardwall design approach.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":477,"journal":{"name":"Archive of Applied Mechanics","volume":"94 12","pages":"3625 - 3646"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results of this comprehensive analysis revealed that during compression, all four gradient lattice structures exhibited varying degrees of shear slip, which manifested as discernible discrepancies in their respective stress–strain curves. Relative to the uniform lattice structure, the linear gradient lattice sandwich structure exhibited an enhancement in elastic modulus by 1.69%, while the square sine function gradient lattice sandwich structure showed a significant increase of 14.45% in elastic modulus. Conversely, the square cosine function gradient lattice sandwich structure experienced a reduction in elastic modulus by 9.61%. Employing either a linear gradient or a square sine function density gradient design was found to augment the load-bearing capacity of the uniform lattice structure. Notably, when the strain in the uniform structure reached densification strain, it absorbed energy exceeding 5.842 MJ/m<sup>3</sup>, indicating superior energy absorption capabilities among the four structures examined, thus rendering it particularly suitable for applications where high energy absorption is imperative. Furthermore, finite element simulations were conducted to validate the experimental findings, and the simulation results demonstrated a high degree of correlation with the experimental data, with discrepancies less than 6%, thereby confirming the reliability of the FEA model in predicting the performance of these intricate lattice structures.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":477,"journal":{"name":"Archive of Applied Mechanics","volume":"94 11","pages":"3535 - 3553"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For an open-loop multi-rigid-body system, the generalized coordinates of the system are composed of the generalized relative coordinates of the joint elements. Typically, for each joint element, the dimension of the generalized relative coordinates is equal to its relative motion degrees of freedom, leading to minimum dimension of the generalized coordinates of the system, which is equal to the degrees of freedom of the system. However, this may result in singularity for a ball-and-socket joint element when evaluating its generalized accelerations if any triad of Euler angles is utilized as its generalized relative coordinates. The tetrad Euler parameters are an alternative to Euler angles to resolve such a singular problem, which is a common practice in the dynamics approaches using body coordinates as generalized coordinates; nevertheless, it has not been observed in the completely recursive methods with joint coordinates. In this paper, the self-constraint equations of Euler parameters are taken into account to establish the corresponding reduced transfer equations characterized by a symmetric generalized inertial matrix, which are in completely recursive form. Fundamental numerical stability analyses are conducted via condition numbers of corresponding matrices, demonstrating that employing Euler parameters to describe the relative kinematics of a ball-and-socket joint element enhances numerical stability compared to Euler angles.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":477,"journal":{"name":"Archive of Applied Mechanics","volume":"94 12","pages":"3731 - 3751"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142181316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
