Simplified FE modeling of bistable column-shell structures and strength analysis during the curling process
Bistable composite column-shell structures are extensively employed in aerospace deployable systems, with curling being the primary method for storage and deployment. To streamline the FE (FE) modeling of the curling process and investigate the strength characteristics, this paper proposed a simplified finite element method (FEM) for bistable composite column-shell structures based on a reverse modeling approach. Firstly, based on the theory of the ploy region of the bistable column-shell structures, a reverse modeling method is proposed, which is capable of obtaining the geometrical configurations of the bistable column-shells under the fixed boundary conditions at one end. The accuracy of the reverse modeling result is verified by using the experimental method and the FEM. Then, based on the reverse modeling approach, a simplified FEM is developed, with both experimental and simulation results confirming its comparable accuracy to the traditional FEM. Finally, using this simplified FEM, the effects of ply angle and single-layer thickness on the structural strength during the curling process are analyzed, and guidelines for selecting optimal design parameters are provided.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
