The deformation and failure of sandwich structure with different thicknesses of panel and foam core were investigated. The results indicate that the maximum bending load increases with the thickness of both steel panel and foam core. The failure of sandwich can be ascribed to the crush and shear damage of foam core and the delamination of glued interface at a large bending load, The crack on the foam wall developed in the melting foam procedure is the major factor for the failure of foam core. The sandwich structure with thick foam core and thin steel panel has the optimal specific bending strength. The maximum bending load of that with 8 mm panel and 50 mm foam core is 66.06 kN.展开更多

Experimental results have shown that there are four damage modes, including explosion cratering, scabbing of the backside, radial cracking induced failure and circumferential cracking induced failure. It also illustrates that the foam material sandwiched in the multi-layered media has an important effect on damage patterns. The phenomena encountered have been analyzed by the calculation with ALE method. Meanwhile, the optimal analysis of foam material thickness and position in the sandwich panel were performed in terms of experimental and numerical analysis. The proper thickness proportion of the soft layer is about 2.0% to the thickness of sandwich panel and the thickness of the upper hard layer and lower hard layer is in the ratio of ? to 3 under the condition in this paper when the total thickness of soft layer remains constant.展开更多

Abonding assitant coat used below 850℃ was developed. It contained copper as basic element and zinc as main alloy element. Other small elements and rear metals were added to decrease the melting point and to obtain a better clouding and bigh plasticity. Based on the theory of brazing and transient liquid diffusion welding, two carbon steel plates were rolled with small reduction by using self-made bonding assistant coat. Temperature, pressure and holding time are the main technology parameters for controlling the process of diffusion-rolling. The results show that the bonding strength is the greatest when the bonding temperature is 830℃, holding time is 3 min and the reduction rate is 9%.展开更多

Two different types of natural fibers reinforced plastics (NFRP) laminate were incorporated into the new sandwich panel as an intermediate layer. The significance analysis in this research has been carried out using analysis of variance (ANOVA). As the aim of the analysis is to select the most appropriate natural fiber composites for the intermediate layer, the experiments were arranged as a single factor experiment in which 3 levels of a factor have been examined. The factor refers to the type of intermediate layer used in the sandwich panel. The result of this study shows that the incorporation of intermediate layer has significantly enhanced the load carrying capacity of the sandwich panels.展开更多

Aircrafts are always affected by the thermal and noise environment during their life in service. Analytical studies on the sound vibration response of the sandwich panels with flexible core under thermal environments are performed in the paper. Governing equations are obtained by applying Hamilton 's principle with both anti-symmetric and symmetric motions taken into consideration. Natural frequencies,mode shape and critical temperature are acquired with thermal stresses considered. The forced vibration response and sound radiation are obtained based on the mode superposition principle and the Rayleigh integral. The model is validated compared with the results in literature. Natural frequencies for both anti-symmetric and symmetric motions decrease with temperature rise.Lower order flexural mode and higher-order dilatational mode are sensitive to the temperature change. Symmetric motion induces the anti-resonance frequencies move to the low frequency range. The peaks of sound vibration response remove to the low frequency range as the temperature rise and the amplitude of the peaks decrease due to the enhanced damping.The proposed model may serve as an effective guideline for the application of sandwich panels in thermal environments.展开更多

Temperature-dependent mechanical properties are considered, andgradient shear stiffness and bending stiffness due to non-uniform temperature is included. Resultsindicate that the temperature-dependent material properties obviously affect bending resistance;however, the effect is negligible on post-buckling behavior.

Using a Multilayer Polyurethane foam sandwich panel with rectangular cross-section, the natural frequencies, mode shapes and the damping ratio of sandwich panels were evaluated. Three types of boundary conditions were simulated namely, C-F-F-F (Clamped Free-Free-Free), C-F-C-F (Clam-ped-Free-Clamped-Free), C-C-C-C-(Clamped-Clamped-Clamped-Clamped). Experimental modal tests were conducted on sandwich panels with available polyurethane foam of densities 56 kg/m3, 82 kg/m3and 289 kg/m3.The traditional “strike method” has been used to measure vibration properties. The modal characteristics of the specimens have been obtained by studying their impulse response. Each specimen has been subjected to impulses through a hard tipped hammer which is provided with a force transducer and the response has been measured through the accelerometer. The impulse and the response are processed through a computer aided FFT Analyzing test system in order to extract the modal parameters. Finite Element modeling was carried out treating the facing and core as orthotropic with different elastic constants as recommended in the literature. The experimental results were validated with FEA and were found to be in good agreement.The results obtained through modal test on multilayer sandwich panels are presented. They indicate a significant variation in the dynamic parameters in case of multilayer sandwich panels for the same core density as compared to a monolayer sandwich panel.展开更多

Bending tests were performed on the titanium samples, and mechanical properties such as modulus, bending strength, and energy absorption were evaluated. Different failure mechanisms were observed, and it was found that sandwich structures with auxetic cores exhibited more homogeneous deflection and bending compliance compared with other structures. It was also demonstrated that properties of auxetic sandwich structures can be tailored using different cell structure geometries to suit the needs of a given design application. Furthermore, it was found that other 3D cellular sandwich structures can also exhibit high stiffness and strength, which is desirable in potential applications.展开更多

Three types of boundary conditions were simulated namely, C-F-F-F (Clamped Free-Free-Free), C-F-C-F (Clam-ped-Free-Clamped-Free), C-C-C-C-(Clamped-Clamped-Clamped-Clamped). Experimental modal tests were conducted on sandwich panels with available polyurethane foam of densities 56 kg/m3, 82 kg/m3and 289 kg/m3.The traditional “strike method” has been used to measure vibration properties. The modal characteristics of the specimens have been obtained by studying their impulse response. Each specimen has been subjected to impulses through a hard tipped hammer which is provided with a force transducer and the response has been measured through the accelerometer. The impulse and the response are processed through a computer aided FFT Analyzing test system in order to extract the modal parameters. Finite Element modeling was carried out treating the facing and core as orthotropic with different elastic constants as recommended in the literature. The experimental results were validated with FEA and were found to be in good agreement.The results obtained through modal test on multilayer sandwich panels are presented. They indicate a significant variation in the dynamic parameters in case of multilayer sandwich panels for the same core density as compared to a monolayer sandwich panel.
文摘Composite sandwich structures are highly proven materials that provide high strength to weight ratio. However research works are still being carried out in the area of impact characteristics of sandwich composites. This paper provides a better understanding on the effect of core density and core thickness of sandwich panels subject to low velocity drop test. Specific energy absorption capacity of sandwich panels is obtained and factors affecting the same are explored with facings made of woven glass fiber laminates and polyurethane foam core with three different densities of 70 Kg/m3, 100 Kg/m3, 200 Kg/m3.

文摘Sandwich panel is commonly used in ship and marine engineering equipment,such as side structure and superstructure deck of a ship,which is of good anti-explosion performance.This paper addresses a study on the dynamic response of the U-typed sandwich panel under explosion load through the numerical simulation and theoretical methods.Based on the orthotropic plate theory,the U-typed sandwich panel is simplified and transformed into a single degree of freedom(SDOF)spring system,the equivalent motion equation of the SDOF system and the expression of triangular explosion load function are established based on the SDOF theory,and the maximum response spectrum of the SDOF system is obtained.Then,the response of the equivalent SDOF system of the U-typed sandwich panel under explosion load is analyzed,and the theoretical results match well with the numerical simulation results,which verifies the accuracy of the theoretical method proposed in this paper.The theoretical method proposed in this paper could have good engineering applications for the structural anti-explosion design,and provide a reference for the evaluation of the anti-explosion performance of ship and offshore platform structures.
文摘In this paper, the large deflection theory is adopted to analyse the geometrical nonlinear stability of a sandwich shallow cylindrical panel with orthoiropic surfaces. The critical point is determined and the postbitckling behaviour of the panel is studied.
文摘In this study, various sandwich panel structures with different reticulate lattice core geometries were designed and then fabricated in titanium via the electron beam melting (EBM) process. Bending tests were performed on the titanium samples, and mechanical properties such as modulus, bending strength, and energy absorption were evaluated. Different failure mechanisms were observed, and it was found that sandwich structures with auxetic cores exhibited more homogeneous deflection and bending compliance compared with other structures. It was also demonstrated that properties of auxetic sandwich structures can be tailored using different cell structure geometries to suit the needs of a given design application. Furthermore, it was found that other 3D cellular sandwich structures can also exhibit high stiffness and strength, which is desirable in potential applications.
