在制造和失效约束条件下提高屈曲载荷的可变刚度复合材料翼盒优化设计代理模型
The buckling load of a wingbox is maximized by applying different automatic fiber placement (AFP) strategies on the skins of the wing having NACA 4412 airfoil profile. Specifically, the effect of single, dual and three region application of AFP on the optimal buckling load is studied to provide an outlook on the improvement of the optimal buckling load by increasing the number of skin panels, between rib stations, over which distinct reference fiber path definitions are made. Buckling load optimizations with manufacturing and failure constraints are performed via two different metaheuristic optimization algorithms to ensure that the global optimum reference fiber paths are obtained. For computational efficiency, separate radial basis function based surrogate models are generated for the buckling and the failure analysis. Our results show that the application of AFP separately with distinct reference fiber path definitions in each skin panel between the rib stations, the buckling load can be improved compared to the application of the AFP to a larger section of the wing skin. For the wingbox studied, compared to the wing with quasi-isotropic skins, 94% increase in the local buckling load of the root panel is obtained with the three region AFP application.
通过在具有NACA 4412翼型轮廓的机翼皮肤上应用不同的自动纤维放置(AFP)策略,最大限度地提高了翼箱的屈曲载荷。具体来说,研究了单、双和三区域应用AFP对最佳屈曲载荷的影响,为通过增加肋台之间的蒙皮板数量来改善最佳屈曲载荷提供了前景,在这些蒙皮板上定义了不同的参考纤维路径。通过两种不同的元启发式优化算法对制造约束和失效约束下的屈曲载荷进行优化,以确保获得全局最优参考光纤路径。为提高计算效率,分别建立了基于径向基函数的屈曲和破坏模型。我们的研究结果表明,在肋架之间的每个蒙皮板上分别使用不同参考纤维路径定义的AFP,与在更大截面的机翼蒙皮上使用AFP相比,屈曲载荷可以得到改善。对于所研究的翼箱,与具有准各向同性蒙皮的机翼相比,三区域AFP的应用使根部板的局部屈曲载荷增加了94%。

纤维复合材料的二分类角度细化离散材料优化方法
The discrete material optimization method optimizes the distribution of materials by setting candidate materials using a multi-phase material penalty model. Addressing the issue of reduced efficiency in fiber orientation optimization due to a large number of candidate materials, this paper proposes a dichotomous angle refinement discrete material optimization method to enhance solution speed. This method leverages the efficiency of the bisection approach to rapidly refine the angle in discrete optimization results, thereby narrowing the range of candidate fiber orientations. Furthermore, by introducing fiber orientations perpendicular to the optimized orientation, it mitigates potential local optimization issues during the optimization process, thereby enhancing the method’s optimization capability. Compared to traditional discrete material optimization methods, this method employs a special dichotomy method to determine the candidate materials for each element, thereby decreasing the number of design variables. This method demonstrates higher computational efficiency when solving fiber orientation optimization problems with a large number of candidate materials. Several numerical examples provided in the paper validate the efficiency and stability of the proposed method in addressing optimization problems.

厚度不对中对复合材料层合板缺口强度的影响
Predicting the notched strength of carbon fiber-reinforced polymers is a crucial aspect of composite structure design, particularly when considering the uncertainties stemming from geometric features, material variability and defects. This study focuses on the influence of ply misalignment at the meso-scale level. The research employs a comprehensive methodology to establish notched strength allowables, integrating analytical (low fidelity), which have limitations in the representation of stacking sequence effects and in the generation of ply misalignments, and computational tools (high fidelity), employing a finite element model (FEM). The investigation emphasizes the need for a holistic understanding of these factors to enhance the accuracy of predictions. The results predicted by the analytical and, specially, the numerical models are in good agreement with experimental results. Both models underscore the decrease of the notched strength due to ply misalignment. Finally, a hybrid approach is proposed given that FEM predictions offer more accuracy and a detailed comprehension of the failure mechanisms, while fast analytical models can be used to propagate the uncertainties and to determine the allowables.
预测碳纤维增强聚合物的缺口强度是复合材料结构设计的一个重要方面,特别是在考虑几何特征、材料可变性和缺陷等不确定性的情况下。本文的研究重点是在中尺度水平上研究层位失调的影响。该研究采用了一种综合的方法来建立缺口强度允许值,整合了分析(低保真度)和计算工具(高保真度),采用了有限元模型(FEM)。分析(低保真度)在堆叠序列效应的表示和层位错位的产生方面存在局限性。调查强调需要全面了解这些因素,以提高预测的准确性。分析模型,特别是数值模型的预测结果与实验结果吻合较好。两种模型都强调了由于层错导致的缺口强度下降。最后,提出了一种混合方法,考虑到有限元预测更准确,更详细地了解破坏机制,而快速的分析模型可以用来传播不确定性并确定允许值。

高速冲击下弯曲超高分子量聚乙烯复合材料层合板背面变形分析
Ballistic protection extensively employs curved ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) laminates to conform to protective targets. However, ballistic tests have indicated that the curvature of laminates increases back-face deformation, diminishing ballistic performance, while the mechanism behind this curvature effect on back-face deformation remains unclear. In this paper, the back-face deformation of curved UHMWPE laminates, including apex displacement and the boundary of the deformation region, are systematically studied through numerical simulation and theoretical analysis. Firstly, a numerical model of curved UHMWPE laminates under the high-speed impact is established. The numerical results indicate that as the curvature increases, the deformation region becomes more concentrated, resulting in a larger apex displacement. Secondly, as the curvature increases from zero, the deformation mode of curved laminates changes from membrane stretching dominated to a combination of membrane stretching and bending. Finally, considering the change in the deformation mode, a theoretical analysis for the propagation of bending waves in an orthotropic curved plate is conducted to reveal the relationship between curvature and back-face deformation. The theoretical analysis shows that increasing curvature slows bending wave speed, reducing in-plane deformation region movement, thus increasing apex displacement. This study is expected to help design curved UHMWPE laminates with better ballistic performance.
弹道防护广泛采用弯曲超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)层压板,以符合防护目标。然而,弹道试验表明,层合板的曲率增加了后面变形,降低了弹道性能,而这种曲率影响后面变形的机制尚不清楚。本文通过数值模拟和理论分析,系统地研究了弯曲超高分子量聚乙烯层合板的背面变形,包括顶点位移和变形区域边界。首先,建立了高速冲击下弯曲超高分子量聚乙烯层合板的数值模型。数值结果表明,随着曲率的增大,变形区域更加集中,导致顶点位移增大。其次,随着曲率从零开始增大,弯曲层合板的变形方式由拉伸为主转变为拉伸与弯曲相结合。最后,考虑变形方式的变化,对正交各向异性弯曲板中弯曲波的传播进行了理论分析,揭示了曲率与背面变形之间的关系。理论分析表明,曲率的增大减缓了弯曲波的传播速度,减小了面内变形区的运动,从而增大了顶点位移。该研究有望帮助设计具有更好弹道性能的弯曲超高分子量聚乙烯层压板。

碳纤维共碳化硅光纤阵列的微波吸收结构及高效电磁耗散机制
Broadband and efficient electromagnetic wave absorbers have always been a hot research topic due to their wide application needs. Herein, silicon carbide fiber (SiCf) and carbon fiber (Cf) were introduced to construct a composite fibers structure. The structure supports the resonant modes and regulates the electromagnetic energy dissipation through the coordination of SiCf and Cf. Based on pure absorption mechanisms, the single layer structure realizes the efficient absorption with reflection loss less than −10 dB within the 10.6–18 GHz frequency band, and the double layer structure has an efficient absorption band of 11 GHz. Experimental and numerical analysis show that SiCf and Cf generate different resonance modes and loss mechanisms respectively under the excitation of incident electromagnetic field, which can complement and enhance energy dissipation over a wide frequency range, ultimately achieving the broadband absorption performance of the structure. The composite fibers structure proposed in this paper has the advantages of simple structure, easy preparation, small outline, lightweight, and broadband efficient absorption. In addition, it provides a new idea for the design of composite fibers structure for electromagnetic wave absorption.

一种新型的无刀具碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)制造方法——直接电固化双点增量成形(DPIF)
Carbon fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs) are essential in various industries due to their exceptional specific mechanical properties. However, conventional CFRP manufacturing involves significant costs related to moulds, ovens, and autoclaves, rendering it expensive for low-volume production and prototyping. This study introduces a novel method, Double-Point Incremental Forming with Direct Electric Curing (DPIF-DEC), which enables CFRP fabrication without the need for moulds, directly from CAD models, but it is not suited for mass production. This technique, enhanced by the addition of 2 wt% carbon black to the epoxy resin matrix, improves through-thickness electrical conductivity, allowing uniform and rapid curing. DPIF-DEC demonstrates rapid localised curing, real-time process monitoring, and achieves mechanical properties comparable to traditional methods. Additionally, it reduces energy consumption, presenting a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable solution for low-volume and prototype CFRP production, laying the groundwork for future applications in continuous-fibre composite manufacturing directly from CAD models.
碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRPs)由于其特殊的机械性能,在各种工业中都是必不可少的。然而,传统的CFRP制造涉及与模具、烤箱和高压灭菌器相关的重大成本,使得小批量生产和原型制作成本高昂。本研究介绍了一种新的方法,双点增量成形与直接电固化(DPIF-DEC),使CFRP制造不需要模具,直接从CAD模型,但它不适合大规模生产。该技术通过在环氧树脂基体中添加2 wt%的炭黑来增强,提高了整个厚度的导电性,允许均匀和快速的固化。DPIF-DEC展示了快速的局部固化,实时过程监控,并实现了与传统方法相当的机械性能。此外,它还降低了能源消耗,为小批量和原型CFRP生产提供了一种具有成本效益和环境可持续性的解决方案,为直接从CAD模型生产连续纤维复合材料的未来应用奠定了基础。

Composite bolted joints have extensive application in aerospace and marine equipment. Failure analysis and strength prediction are crucial steps in the design of composite bolted joints. This study proposes a method that can accurately analyze the progressive bearing failure and static strength of composite bolted joints under different initial assembly parameters. This method first obtains an accurate initial assembly state based on the high-fidelity finite element model with detailed thread structure. Then it uses this as an input to analyze the progressive bearing failure process and the bearing strength value. Using the above method, the formation and evolution mechanism of the tightening yielding phenomenon during the assembly process are analyzed. And the influence of the two key assembly parameters, washer type and initial bolt tension, on the bearing strength of composite bolted joints is analyzed. The experimental results verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the simulation methods and results.

定向排列CNF/MXene/WPU气凝胶增强聚氨酯/环氧基互穿网络复合材料的热磨损性能
Tribological behaviour of polyurethane/epoxy interpenetrating polymer network (PU/EP IPN) as friction materials was investigated. This was a combination of the good flexibility of PU and high hardness of EP to realize polymer synergistic effect of interpenetrating network structure, aiming to broaden and develop the application of polymer-based composites in friction engineering materials. A novel CNF/MXene/WPU aerogel (CMW) was prepared by employing flexible NCO-terminated waterborne polyurethane prepolymer (WPU) as the supporting skeleton of aerogel, and synchronously combining the reinforcing-phase carbon nanofibers (CNF) and lubricating-phase MXene. Subsequently, the prepared ultralight porous yet mechanically robust CMW aerogels were encapsulated with IPN by vacuum impregnation. As expected, the addition of aerogel imparted IPN matrix with enhanced thermal and tribological properties due to the thermal dispersion and enhancement effects conferred on the matrix by the highly aligned and ordered three-dimensional interconnected structure of aerogel. Meanwhile, CMW reinforced IPN composites were explored for the formation of a high-quality transfer film on the contact surface during friction. The transfer film prevented direct contact between the friction couples, which facilitated the improvement of wear resistance of composites, thus giving this material great potential for tribological applications

多两性离子凝胶具有可回收、双重加密、快速变形和抗菌能力
The design of novel polymer gels possessing elaborate and efficient properties remains a grand challenge. Here, a zwitterionic network was constructed in a polyanionic cellulose matrix to prepare a series of pol3-[dimethyl- [2-(2-methylprop-2-enoyloxy)ethyl] azaniumyl]propane-1-sulfonate/polyanionic cellulose gels (AAC gels). AAC gels with electrostatic interaction and hydrogen bonding interaction present high mechanical property (∼1350 %/∼0.50 MPa), self-healing performance, self-adhesion, low-temperature resistance, recyclability, ultraviolet (UV) shielding, and antibacterial ability. The information of repeated writing, erasing, and encoding is realized by combining the UV visualization and self-healing performance. Impressively, it has proven the function of successive encryption-decryption process and dual encryption, as well as continuous and reversible dynamic transparency shifting in analogy to dynamic memorizing-forgetting behavior. More interestingly, a spontaneous shape-morphing of AAC'-polyacrylamide (AAC'-PAM) gel with bilayer structure can be obtained by depositing covalently cross-linked PAM. The mismatch strain/stress induces more rapid shape transformation (e.g., bending and grasping objects; ∼22 s) than the currently reported responsive gels due to the disassociation and reformation of the electrostatic interaction. The shape transformation and the information visualization under UV light are further combined to achieve the dual encryption. This study provides a novel strategy for designing and fabricating smart gels with elaborate and efficient functionality.

反应渗透法制备三维碳纳米管纳米重整增强聚酰胺6复合材料的新策略
Carbon nanotube (CNT) aerogels have gained significant attentions for diverse applications because they formed three-dimensional assemblies of CNTs with high electrical conductivity and large specific surface area, maintaining the intrinsic properties of CNTs. Polymer infiltration is commonly employed to improve the fragility and poor mechanical properties that limit their applications. Nonetheless, the unimpregnated area can easily be created due to the fine and complex impregnating path inside the aerogel. Here, we utilized reactive infiltration of polyamide 6 for fabricating aerogel-based nanocomposites via facile impregnation with ultralow-viscosity monomers, significantly improving the mechanical properties while maintaining the network structure of aerogel. The nanocomposite exhibited an excellent tensile strength of 61.3 MPa, representing a 55.6% improvement over that of pure polymer. By fabricating the novel nanocomposite with a stable interconnected structure, we confirmed one of the highest levels of electrical conductivity among polymeric nanocomposites and also verified the potential applications as heat-dissipation materials.
碳纳米管(CNT)气凝胶由于能够形成具有高导电性和大比表面积的碳纳米管三维组装体,保持了碳纳米管的固有性质,在各种应用中得到了广泛的关注。聚合物渗透通常用于改善脆性和限制其应用的不良机械性能。然而,由于气凝胶内部精细而复杂的浸渍路径,可以很容易地产生未浸渍区域。在此,我们利用聚酰胺6的反应渗透,通过超低粘度单体的易浸渍制备了气凝胶基纳米复合材料,在保持气凝胶网状结构的同时,显著提高了材料的力学性能。纳米复合材料的抗拉强度为61.3 MPa,比纯聚合物提高55.6%。通过制造具有稳定互连结构的新型纳米复合材料,我们证实了聚合物纳米复合材料中电导率最高的材料之一,并验证了其作为散热材料的潜在应用。
