泡桐木夹层结构材料的力学性能

Mechanics properties of paulownia core sandwich composites

选用泡桐木为原料,制备出夹层结构用泡桐木绿色夹芯材料,其木质纤维具有天然蜂窝形状,结构类似于目前航空航天领域常用的蜂窝芯材;泡桐木芯材除密度略高于Balsa轻木外,其他力学性能测试指标均优于轻木,同时在价格上占有绝对的优势。采用真空导入成型工艺,成功制备出轻质高强的泡桐木夹层复合材料,通过不同跨高比试件的三点与四点弯试验,研究其典型受力破坏形态与机制;利用经典夹层梁理论预估试件抗弯刚度和受弯极限承载力,理论值与实测值符合较好,并以此为基础,提出了基于强度的优化设计方法。

Green paulownia sandwich composite material was manufactured by using paulownia tree. The mechanics properties of paulownia were better than that of balsa wood except weight, and it was low-cost. The light-weight high-performance paulownia core sandwich composites were manufactured by vacuum infusion molding process. The sandwich beams with different ratios of span to thickness were researched by three-point and four-point flexural test. The typical failure modes and the mechanism of innovative sandwich specimens were investigated. The flexural stiffness and the ultimate bearing capacity of sandwich composites were studied by ordinary sandwich beam theory. The analysis result agreed well with test result. The design method was presented based on the intensity demand.
