In this study, a micromechanical model based on the equivalent inclusion model is implemented using the viscoelastic behaviours of the neat and aged grades identified by spectrometric analyses. The presented coated inclusion model allows to extract the viscoelastic behavior of the interphase in the dry-as-molded composite and in the aged composite by inverse method conducted for viscoelastic behavior. The presence of the interphase testifies to the degradation of the thermomechanical properties in the vicinity of the reinforcements. In the aged composite, the interphase also undergoes an aging phenomenon. Thus, the model compares the behavior of the interphase in the dry-as-molded and aged grades of the composite and separates the effects linked to the degradation of adhesion of the fibers from the effects linked to specific hydroscopic aging.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Sciences","volume":"284 ","pages":"Article 109761"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418498","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}

Therefore, dimensional changes of spherical shell in cryogenic forming were studied theoretically and experimentally. The cryogenic forming process was discussed to elucidate the factors affecting the dimensional change. The stress distribution was analyzed to qualitatively reveal the springback behavior. Cryogenic dimensional measurement devices were built to quantitatively evaluate the dimensional changes in the forming processes of punch cooling, springback, and specimen restoration to room temperature. The temperature dependencies of the elastic modulus and expansion coefficient were modeled to quantitatively calculate the effect of thermal expansion and contraction on the dimensions of specimen and punch. The theoretical analysis results indicate that depth reduction and opening expansion are produced by cryogenic springback, determined by the radial stress, hoop stress, and bending moment in different deformation regions. The cryogenic springback in the biaxial tensile stress zone was reduced by 37.8 % owing to the increasing radial deformation and decreasing bending deformation. In contrast, cryogenic springback in the tensile-compressive stress zone increased by 30.8 %. The punch cooling shrinkage and specimen warming expansion in depth direction can reduce for the dimensional deviation caused by springback but cause the opposite effect in hoop direction. Expansion and shrinkage were effectively predicted using the proposed model, with an error of less than 16 %. The deformation region of the biaxial tensile stress can be enlarged by the significantly improved hardening ability at cryogenic temperature, which benefits enhancing deformation uniformity and further reduces springback. Therefore, cryogenic forming offers considerable potential for the precision manufacturing of aluminum alloy deep-cavity thin-walled components.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Sciences","volume":"284 ","pages":"Article 109757"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142418499","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}

Traditionally these structures are made by assembling bistable unit cells, which results in a significant increase in the size and weight of the system when larger number of stable states are required. Recently, researchers have uncovered a third stable state in the Kresling origami pattern. Although this is an advancement over the bistable unit cell, there is an unexplored opportunity for more systematically expanding the design space of Kresling unit cells to possess many more stable configurations (&gt;&gt;2) and enhance its programmable multistability. In this research, we seek to develop a methodology for the design of a Kresling origami-inspired unit cell that can be easily programmed to achieve up to 10 stable configurations, with the potential to achieve even more. We exploit the rich kinematics of the Kresling origami-inspired unit cell, that arise from its coupled translational and rotational deployment, and propose the strategic integration of tensile elements to realize multiple stable states. Analytically, we study the unstretched length values (defined to be the precise length between the string “slacked” and “tensioned” configurations) of the strings that yield the distinct number of stable states. We present the potential energy profiles with its corresponding force-displacement plots for the bistable, tristable, quadstable, pentastable and decastable unit cells. Moreover, we show that by simply adjusting the unstretched length of the strings we can program and tune the number of stable states of the unit cell. Tristable and pentastable unit cell prototypes are designed and experimentally tested to validate the proposed methodology. Lastly, a study is performed on the mechanical property tailoring capabilities of two unit cells assembled in series. The results show that the decastable unit cell assembly can achieve up to 55 discrete values of equivalent stiffness, while the bistable one can only achieve 3. For the bistable unit cell assembly to match this number, it will require 54 unit cells in series, which will significantly increase the size and weight of the structural system. These findings show that the modular structure will have more programmable capabilities, while maintaining its size and weight at a minimum, as the number of stable states per unit cell is increased.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56287,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Sciences","volume":"284 ","pages":"Article 109768"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142525790","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}

By applying defined electrical signals to the piezoelectric units, the platform can achieve high-speed continuous mode (HCM) for the millimeter scale, low-speed stepping mode (LSM) for the micrometer scale, and high-precision positioning mode (HPM) for the nanometer scale.
