It was shown that, when nonlinear effects were considered, the negative Poisson's ratio increased with the elastic modulus of the material.

Ascribed to the specific mechanical properties such as negative Poisson's ratios and significant compressibility, the chiral microstructural configurations have attracted great interests in energy absorption and can therefore be customized for specific designs. However, the more advanced design is still desired. In this paper, a three-dimensional curved chiral beam based lattice (3D-CCBL) was proposed by replacing the conventional straight trusses with curved chiral beams, aiming to achieve novel metamaterial with excellent flexibility and tailorable mechanical properties. Two types of 3D-CCBL specimens, with arc angles ranging from 120° to 210° were fabricated using the selective laser sintering (SLS) additive manufacturing technique. The compressive characteristics of 3D-CCBL were thoroughly investigated via experiments and simulations, considering the effects of anisotropy and relative density. In addition, a theoretical model was derived to predict the compressive modulus and plateau stress of 3D-CCBL, which achieved satisfactory agreement with both experimental measurements and numerical predictions. It is indicated that both types of 3D-CCBL mainly exhibited a bending-dominated deformation mode, although type II of 3D-CCBL possessed better energy-absorbing capacity and resistance to instability. The energy-absorbing capacity of 3D-CCBL can be enhanced by appropriately decreasing the arc angle, whereas the small angles would be more likely lead to instability. This paper provides a framework for guiding the design of three-dimensional flexible and ultra-lightweight metamaterials and promotes their applications in the fields of flexible protections.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49435,"journal":{"name":"Thin-Walled Structures","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 112995"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143183485","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the enhancement of impact resistance in CFRP composites through the incorporation of superelastic shape memory alloy (SMA) wires into the CFRP matrix. Unidirectional and bidirectional SMA-reinforced CFRP laminates were fabricated and subjected to low-velocity impact testing. The surface and internal interlaminar damage patterns of the laminates were observed through a combination of visual inspection and ultrasonic C-scan imaging. The impact response of the laminates was analyzed by examining the time-varying curves of impact force and impact point displacement. The results indicate that SMA-reinforced CFRP (SMA-CFRP) demonstrates shallower delamination cracks and reduced interlaminar damage after impact. The maximum impact force of the unidirectional and bidirectional SMA-reinforced CFRP increased by 26.1 % and 29.5 %, respectively, indicating a significant enhancement in the matrix stiffness after the incorporation of SMA. The mechanical mechanisms behind the improved impact resistance were further investigated through simulation analysis, the importance of SMA phase transformation in the energy absorption process during impact was highlighted. The results of the parametric analysis indicate that reducing the spacing or introducing pre-stress of SMA wires contributes to a slight improvement in impact resistance.

The axial test revealed the axial failure modes of thin-walled LPEC columns: spalling and local crushing of concrete and local buckling of flanges. The parametric analysis showed that as the steel component thickness and steel yield strength increased, the transverse link spacing and limb height-to-thickness ratio decreased, the confinement of steel component and transverse links on the concrete was improved. Based on the axial stress state of the concrete, the concrete area was classified into un-effectively weakly confined, effectively weakly confined and strongly confined regions. A calculation method considering the influence of transverse link spacing and limb height-to-thickness ratio was proposed for calculating the concrete area in each region. According to the strain compatibility and interfacial interactions, a calculation model for lateral confining stress in concrete under peak load was constructed.

As a common marine geohazard, submarine landslides pose a significant threat to the safety of pipelines. Pipelines can undergo lateral deformation over a certain length due to landslide impact, with the deformation constrained by axial and lateral pipe-soil resistances. This study constructs an analytical solution for the deformation of high-temperature subsea pipelines under landslide impact based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, considering the nonlinear characteristics of axial soil resistance. The analytical solution is verified first. Then, the difference in various pipeline parameters between models considering ideal rigid-plastic and bi-linear axial resistance is compared. A parametric analysis is conducted by focusing on landslide impact force, landslide impact width, and seabed inclination angle. The results indicate that considering bi-linear axial resistance increases pipeline deformation. Larger landslide impact force, landslide impact width, and inclination angle result in greater pipeline deformation. At lower temperatures, both the bending moment and bending stress at the midpoint increase with landslide impact force and inclination angle, but they first increase and then decrease with landslide impact width. At higher temperatures, they decrease with the increase of landslide impact force, landslide impact width, and inclination angle. However, the tensile stress in the pipeline, induced by the axial force, continuously increases linearly with the increase in landslide impact force and landslide impact width.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49435,"journal":{"name":"Thin-Walled Structures","volume":"210 ","pages":"Article 112990"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143182036","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
