复合晶格对硅橡胶基烧蚀材料高温压缩行为的影响

Besides aerodynamic heating, ablative materials are always exposed to aerodynamic pressure. This paper proposes an effective method to improve the high-temperature compressive performance of silicone rubber based ablative materials using silica/phenolic pyramidal lattice. Composite structures of silica/phenolic pyramidal lattice reinforced silicone rubber based ablative material were fabricated and tested with the high-temperature material testing machine. To determine the stiffness of lattice reinforced ablative materials at different temperatures, a theoretical model was developed and validated by comparison with experimental results. Results show that silica/phenolic pyramidal lattices can significantly improve the stiffness of ablative materials at high temperatures. The changes in the stiffness of ablative materials reinforced with silica/phenolic pyramidal lattices at high temperatures can be divided into four stages. The composite lattice has a reinforcing effect on the mechanical properties of ablative materials up to 1000 °C, with optimal enhancement observed at 681 °C. Furthermore, the effects of geometrical parameters of the lattice and heating rates on stiffness at high temperatures are also discussed.

除了空气动力加热外,烧蚀材料还始终暴露在空气动力压力下。本文提出了一种利用二氧化硅/酚醛金字塔晶格改善硅橡胶基烧蚀材料高温抗压性能的有效方法。本文制作了二氧化硅/酚醛金字塔晶格增强硅橡胶基烧蚀材料的复合结构,并用高温材料试验机进行了测试。为了确定晶格增强烧蚀材料在不同温度下的刚度,建立了一个理论模型,并通过与实验结果的比较进行了验证。结果表明,二氧化硅/酚醛金字塔晶格能显著提高烧蚀材料在高温下的刚度。使用二氧化硅/酚醛金字塔晶格增强的烧蚀材料在高温下的刚度变化可分为四个阶段。复合晶格对烧蚀材料的机械性能有增强作用,最高可达 1000 ℃,在 681 ℃ 时达到最佳增强效果。此外,还讨论了晶格几何参数和加热速率对高温刚度的影响。

新型 AA 2xxx 层对纤维金属层压板在软体冲击过程中的强度和损伤响应的影响

This study focuses on analysing the effect of new AA 2xxx layers on the strength and damage response of Fibre Metal Laminates (FMLs) during bird strikes. New aluminium alloy (new AA 2xxx) designed for the leading edge of aircraft to withstand bird strikes. Four laminates of different metal thicknesses and stacking sequences were modelled with this new 2xxx aluminium alloy. These laminates were analysed based on the impact responses (reaction force, deflection, and energy dissipation) and damage behaviours (metal failure, matrix failure, fibre failure, and delamination) during a soft body (bird) impact. A comparative study found that four FMLs exhibited different impact behaviours in terms of metal thickness and layup sequence. The FML configuration (FML 5–2/1–0.2) arranges glass/epoxy layers between thinner layers of new aluminium alloy and is best suited for designing the leading edges of wing and tail structures. The new FML increases ultimate bird impact strength by 23.65% compared to conventional GLARE™ laminates.

本研究的重点是分析新 AA 2xxx 层对鸟击时金属纤维层压板 (FML) 的强度和损坏响应的影响。为飞机前缘设计的新型铝合金(新型 AA 2xxx)可抵御鸟击。使用这种新型 2xxx 铝合金对四种不同金属厚度和堆叠顺序的层压板进行了建模。根据软体(鸟类)撞击时的撞击响应(反作用力、挠度和能量耗散)和损坏行为(金属破坏、基体破坏、纤维破坏和分层)对这些层压板进行了分析。比较研究发现,四种 FML 在金属厚度和铺层顺序方面表现出不同的冲击行为。FML 配置(FML 5-2/1-0.2)在较薄的新型铝合金层之间安排了玻璃/环氧层,最适合设计机翼和尾翼结构的前缘。与传统的 GLARE™ 层压板相比,新型 FML 可将鸟撞击极限强度提高 23.65%。

使用 PET FRP 面板和各种回收 PET 内芯制作的夹层梁机械性能比较研究

The objective of this paper is to assess the mechanical performance of new forms of sandwich beams predominantly comprised of recycled plastic polymers. These beams feature two types of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) facings: one with a bio-resin matrix and the other with a partial bio-resin matrix. The core of the beams is a focal point of the study as well, comprised of recycled PET (R-PET). Fifteen different types of sandwich beams were tested, with three identical specimens from each type, totaling 45 beams. Each beam, measuring 240 mm in length, was fabricated and categorized based on its core composition: either an R-PET honeycomb or an R-PET foam core. The study investigated key parameters including the core type (honeycomb or foam), core thickness (12 mm or 15 mm), core orientation, and facing thicknesses (1 mm or 2 mm). The mechanical testing of these beams involved a four-point bending setup to assess their flexural performance. This included analyzing mid-span load–deflection, moment–curvature behaviours, and changes in tension and compression strains in the facings during bending. The results demonstrated that core density, type, and facing thickness significantly impact the beams’ stability and failure modes. High-density foam cores primarily failed through core shear, while lower density cores showed both core shear and wrinkling, dependent on facing thickness and core type, highlighting the complex influence of material properties on structural behaviour. A finite element (FE) model was developed to verify the experimental findings, effectively corroborating the test results. The research data is intended as a reference for structural designers seeking to incorporate sustainable alternatives into traditional building materials, thereby promoting a more environmentally conscious approach within the construction industry.

本文旨在评估主要由回收塑料聚合物组成的新型夹层梁的机械性能。这些横梁具有两种类型的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)纤维增强聚合物(FRP)面层:一种是生物树脂基质,另一种是部分生物树脂基质。横梁的核心部分也是研究的重点,由再生 PET(R-PET)组成。共测试了 15 种不同类型的夹层梁,每种类型有三个相同的试样,共计 45 根梁。每根横梁的长度为 240 毫米,根据其核心成分进行制造和分类:R-PET 蜂窝或 R-PET 泡沫核心。研究调查了关键参数,包括芯材类型(蜂窝或泡沫)、芯材厚度(12 毫米或 15 毫米)、芯材方向和面材厚度(1 毫米或 2 毫米)。这些梁的机械测试包括四点弯曲设置,以评估其抗弯性能。这包括分析跨中荷载-挠度、力矩-曲率行为,以及弯曲过程中面层的拉伸和压缩应变变化。结果表明,芯材密度、类型和面层厚度对横梁的稳定性和失效模式有重大影响。高密度泡沫芯材主要通过芯材剪切失效,而低密度芯材则同时表现出芯材剪切和起皱,这取决于面层厚度和芯材类型,突出了材料特性对结构行为的复杂影响。开发的有限元(FE)模型验证了实验结果,有效地证实了测试结果。研究数据旨在为结构设计师提供参考,帮助他们在传统建筑材料中加入可持续替代材料,从而在建筑行业中推广更具环保意识的方法。

在仿生水凝胶支架中设计机械动力学,促进软骨细胞的表型维持和软骨形成

The dedifferentiation of chondrocytes in cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) remains an unsolved challenge for the successful repair of severe articular cartilage defects. We proposed to construct a mechanoactive CTE scaffold, featured with an engineered capability of in situ exerting reversible mechanical stimuli by itself upon having its environment temperature varied, to address this noted issue. For this purpose, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) grafting and methacrylic anhydride (MA) grafting were firstly performed to modify chitosan to generate a thermo-responsive and photo-crosslinkable hydrogel (PCM), and then fragmented electrospun poly(L-lactide-co-caprolactone) (PLCL) fibers were used as fillers to reinforce the PCM hydrogel and to achieve a structural resemblance to the extracellular matrix (ECM) of cartilage. This newly-engineered composite hydrogel, due to the presence of the thermo-responsive component of PNIPAM, allowed to dynamically regulate the chondrocytic behavior when intermittently switching the environmental temperature between 26 °C and 37 °C. It was found the dynamic mechanical stimulus applied by the mechanoactive hydrogel had no adverse effect on the chondrocytes’ viability and proliferation. Intriguingly, in the absence of any chondrogenic supplements, chondrocytes, subjected to the dynamic mechanical stimulation exerted by the composite hydrogel for 7 days in vitro, displayed a native-like cytomorphology, and expressed abundant chondrogenic markers, evidently showing the desired phenotypic maintenance outcomes. By having the chondrocytes encapsulated in the mechanoactive hydrogel and implanted through a rat subcutaneous heterotopic model, we further demonstrated that in situ applied mechanical stimuli by the scaffold per se also effectively promoted the formation of cartilage tissue in vivo. This demonstrated strategy of enabling biomimetic scaffold to be mechanoactive could open a new dimension in the design of functional scaffolds for regulation of cellular functions, essential in fulfilling the dream of functional tissue engineering for cartilage regeneration.

软骨组织工程(CTE)中软骨细胞的去分化仍是成功修复严重关节软骨缺损的一个未解难题。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了一种机械活性 CTE 支架,其特点是在改变环境温度时,能在原位自行施加可逆的机械刺 激。为此,首先对壳聚糖进行聚(N-异丙基丙烯酰胺)(PNIPAM)接枝和甲基丙烯酸酐(MA)接枝改性,生成热响应和光交联水凝胶(PCM)、然后用破碎的电纺聚(L-内酰胺-共己内酯)(PLCL)纤维作为填充物来加固 PCM 水凝胶,使其结构类似于软骨的细胞外基质(ECM)。这种新设计的复合水凝胶由于含有 PNIPAM 的热响应成分,当环境温度在 26 °C 和 37 °C 之间间歇切换时,可以动态调节软骨细胞的行为。研究发现,机械活性水凝胶施加的动态机械刺 激对软骨细胞的活力和增殖没有不良影响。耐人寻味的是,在没有任何软骨生成补充剂的情况下,软骨细胞在体外接受复合水凝胶施加的动态机械刺 激 7 天后,显示出类似于原生细胞的形态,并表达出丰富的软骨生成标记物,显然显示出所需的表型维持结果。通过将软骨细胞包裹在机械活性水凝胶中并植入大鼠皮下异位模型,我们进一步证明,支架本身在原位施加的机械刺 激也能有效促进软骨组织在体内的形成。这种使生物仿生支架具有机械活性的策略可为调节细胞功能的功能性支架设计开辟一个新的领域,对实现软骨再生的功能性组织工程梦想至关重要。

在聚醚醚酮上定制微环境响应型铁/铜微电偶,用于选择性抗菌和骨生成

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has become an ideal bone implant material owing to its good mechanical properties and X-ray permeability, but bacterial infection and aseptic loosening often lead to implant failure. Therefore, it is urgent to enhance its osteogenic and antibacterial capabilities, but how to selectively kill bacteria and improve osteogenesis remains an intractable challenge. Here, we designed a microenvironment-responsive Fe/Cu micro-galvanic couple modified layer, which was in situ fabricated on PEEK via plasma techniques. The electron transfer effect of Fe/Cu micro-galvanic couples induced the production of hydroxyl radical and superoxide anion, and this process could be enhanced in the acid bacterial infection microenvironment. Thus, the as-prepared modified PEEK showed good broad-spectrum antibacterial properties with bactericidal efficiency of 99.9% against both S. aureus and E. coli in vitro, and 98.6% against S. aureus in vivo. More importantly, in the normal physiological environment, the Fe/Cu nano heterostructure modified layer could promote the adhesion, proliferation, and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. This innovative strategy gives a new slight for endowing PEEK implants with selective antibacterial and osteogenic abilities, which has great potential in the clinic.

聚醚醚酮(PEEK)具有良好的机械性能和 X 射线渗透性,已成为理想的骨植入材料,但细菌感染和无菌松动往往导致植入失败。因此,提高其成骨和抗菌能力迫在眉睫,但如何选择性地杀死细菌并改善成骨效果仍是一个棘手的难题。在此,我们设计了一种微环境响应的铁/铜微电偶修饰层,并通过等离子体技术在 PEEK 上进行了原位制备。铁/铜微电偶的电子传递效应诱导产生羟基自由基和超氧阴离子,而这一过程在酸性细菌感染的微环境中会增强。因此,所制备的改性聚醚醚酮具有良好的广谱抗菌特性,体外对金黄色葡萄球菌和大肠杆菌的杀菌效率高达 99.9%,体内对金黄色葡萄球菌的杀菌效率高达 98.6%。更重要的是,在正常生理环境下,Fe/Cu 纳米异质结构修饰层可促进骨髓间充质干细胞的粘附、增殖和成骨分化。这一创新策略为赋予 PEEK 植入物选择性抗菌和成骨能力提供了新的思路,在临床上具有巨大潜力。

通过感应焊接组装热塑性复合材料夹芯板的 cf/peek 面板

A method to assemble sandwich panels made of carbon fibre reinforced poly-ether-ether-ketone (CF/PEEK) facesheets and 3D-printed poly-ether-imide (PEI) honeycomb cores using induction welding is presented. Induction heating patterns inside CF/PEEK laminates of variable dimensions are first evaluated with a thermal camera and compared to a COMSOL Multiphysics model. Sandwich samples are then prepared by vacuum-assisted continuous induction welding under parameters selected from the modelling effort. Joining of sandwich panels made of CF/PEEK facesheets by induction welding under vacuum is demonstrated. Facesheets do not deconsolidate in the process and core crushing is avoided. Flatwise skin/core strength of the welded samples reaches up to 7 MPa, above reported performance for thermoset or thermoplastic composite sandwich panels.

本文介绍了一种利用感应焊接组装由碳纤维增强聚醚醚酮(CF/PEEK)面板和三维打印聚醚酰亚胺(PEI)蜂窝芯制成的夹层板的方法。首先使用热像仪对不同尺寸的 CF/PEEK 层压板内部的感应加热模式进行评估,并与 COMSOL 多物理场模型进行比较。然后,根据建模工作中选定的参数,通过真空辅助连续感应焊接制备夹层样品。演示了在真空条件下通过感应焊接连接 CF/PEEK 面板制成的夹层板。在此过程中,面板不会发生脱固,也避免了夹芯挤压。焊接样品的平向表皮/夹芯强度高达 7 兆帕,高于已报道的热固性或热塑性复合夹层板的性能。

温度对超细晶粒 CNT/Al-Cu-Mg 复合材料固态粘接接头的影响

The joining of CNT/Al composites is a technology bottleneck in its engineering application. In this study, a bonding method of ultrafine-grained CNT/Al-4Cu-1Mg composites was performed. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the joints were characterized, then the interface bonding process and mechanism were explored. The results indicate that increasing temperature can accelerate the healing of interface voids and the dissolution of interface oxides, but overheat will lead to the softening of bonding joints and the conversion of CNTs to Al4C3. Under the optimal temperature of 500 °C, the bonding interface has basically healed, and the bonding strength is up to 380 MPa, which exceeds 90% of the strength of raw materials. Besides, the key to interface healing is the fragmentation and dissolution of interface oxides which have been identified as MgAl2O4. The bonding behavior is a synergistic effect of dynamic recovery, interface migration, and atomic diffusion. Especially, CNTs and Al4C3 phases provide short-circuit diffusion channels and also inhibit the softening of the joints.

CNT/Al 复合材料的连接是其工程应用中的一个技术瓶颈。本研究采用超细晶粒 CNT/Al-4Cu-1Mg 复合材料的接合方法。研究表征了接头的微观结构和力学性能,然后探讨了界面粘合过程和机理。结果表明,温度升高可加速界面空隙的愈合和界面氧化物的溶解,但过热会导致接合点软化和 CNT 向 Al4C3 的转化。在 500 °C 的最佳温度下,键合界面已基本愈合,键合强度高达 380 MPa,超过原材料强度的 90%。此外,界面愈合的关键是界面氧化物的破碎和溶解,目前已确定为 MgAl2O4。结合行为是动态恢复、界面迁移和原子扩散的协同效应。特别是,碳纳米管和 Al4C3 相提供了短路扩散通道,也抑制了接合处的软化。

通过添加剂搅拌摩擦沉积实现 PA66 的高可靠性和高效沉积

Additive manufacturing (AM) for thermoplastic polymer with the advantages of high specific strength and secondary heating molding has gained wide acceptance in diverse industries. Despite the inherent formation defects associated with AM technologies, a new approach called additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) has emerged. While traditionally utilized for metal deposition, AFSD is now being explored for thermoplastic polymers, specifically polyamide 66 (PA66) in this study. To enhance the reliability and efficiency of AFSD for PA66, the novel gradient-parameter-AFSD (GP-AFSD), bidirectional fast cooling-AFSD (BFC-AFSD) and monodirectional fast cooling-AFSD (MFC-AFSD) based AFSD techniques were introduced. Through the BFC-AFSD and MFC-AFSD, successful PA66 depositions with sound surface and interior formation were achieved. The rapid cooling rates and optimized heat balance in BFC-AFSD and MFC-AFSD processes effectively prevented defects like grooves at the top surface of deposition and achieved reliable control of deposition formation. PA66 samples produced under MFC-AFSD demonstrated a tensile strength of 26.9 MPa and E-modulus of 549.3 MPa at room temperature. These findings highlight the potential of AFSD in fabricating large thermoplastic polymer structures with high reliability and efficiency, thus facilitating the practical application of AFSD technology in engineering.

热塑性聚合物的增材制造(AM)具有高比强度和二次加热成型的优点,已被各行各业广泛接受。尽管快速成型技术存在固有的成型缺陷,但一种名为快速摩擦搅拌沉积(AFSD)的新方法已经出现。AFSD 传统上用于金属沉积,现在正被用于热塑性聚合物,特别是本研究中的聚酰胺 66 (PA66)。为了提高 PA66 AFSD 的可靠性和效率,我们引入了基于梯度参数-AFSD(GP-AFSD)、双向快速冷却-AFSD(BFC-AFSD)和单向快速冷却-AFSD(MFC-AFSD)的新型 AFSD 技术。通过 BFC-AFSD 和 MFC-AFSD,成功实现了 PA66 沉积,其表面和内部均形成良好。BFC-AFSD 和 MFC-AFSD 工艺中的快速冷却速率和优化的热平衡有效防止了沉积顶面出现沟槽等缺陷,并实现了对沉积形成的可靠控制。在 MFC-AFSD 工艺下生产的 PA66 样品在室温下的拉伸强度为 26.9 兆帕,E-模量为 549.3 兆帕。这些发现凸显了 AFSD 在高可靠性和高效率制造大型热塑性聚合物结构方面的潜力,从而促进了 AFSD 技术在工程领域的实际应用。

直接复合压缩成型的短碳纤维增强热塑性塑料金字塔晶格桁架芯材的压缩性能

Lattice truss sandwich structures have a wide range of applications because of its advantages of light weight and high strength. However, current manufacturing processes are not suitable for mass production of lattice truss cores, which limits the promotion of lattice structure. This study utilizes Direct Compounded Compression Molded (DCCM) process to prepare a Short Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic (SCFRTP) pyramidal lattice truss core within 5 minutes. The compression behavior and failure mode of the core with joint unconstrained and joint constrained is investigated by experiment, theoretic analysis and finite element method. The results demonstrate that the SCFRTP pyramidal truss core with joint constrained exhibits compressive specific strength (0.0512), surpassing cores of metal and resin significantly. The failure modes of the core with joint unconstrained and the core with joint constrained are joints failure and yield fracture of truss struts respectively. It is believed that the molding process can realize the mass production of lattice truss core structure and promote the wider application of the structure.

格构桁架夹层结构具有重量轻、强度高的优点,因此应用广泛。然而,目前的制造工艺并不适合大规模生产格子桁架芯材,这限制了格子结构的推广。本研究采用直接复合压缩成型(DCCM)工艺,在 5 分钟内制备出短碳纤维增强热塑性塑料(SCFRTP)金字塔格状桁架芯材。研究人员通过实验、理论分析和有限元法研究了桁架芯材在连接无约束和连接受约束情况下的压缩行为和失效模式。结果表明,带连接约束的 SCFRTP 金字塔桁架芯材的抗压比强度(0.0512)明显高于金属芯材和树脂芯材。无约束接缝型芯材和有约束接缝型芯材的失效模式分别为接缝失效和桁架支柱屈服断裂。相信该成型工艺可实现格构桁架芯材结构的批量生产,并促进该结构的广泛应用。

轻质、坚固、导电的 MXene/SiO2 纳米纤维气凝胶具有优异的传感和热管理性能

Flexible pressure sensors embody outstanding mechanical and sensing performance, particularly in the fields of personal health monitoring and artificial intelligence, while catering to multifunctional applications resilient against harsh weather conditions. Among these, Ti3C2Tx MXene-based aerogel materials with high surface area and excellent conductivity have attracted a lot of attention. However, there are big challenges in improving the mechanical properties at low densities and designing multi-level pore structures. Herein, the prepared silane monomers (MP) are firstly synthesized by 3-(Trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPTES) and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA), then polydopamine-modified silicon dioxide (PDA-SiO2) nanofibers employed with MXene nanosheets form covalent cross-linking nanofiber aerogels. The multi-level stable structure improves both mechanical strength and elasticity. The assembled MXene/MP/PDA-SiO2 pressure sensors exhibit a high sensitivity of −0.83 kPa−1, a rapid response time of 48 ms, a minimum 1 % strain detection limit, and reliable stability over 10,000 cycles. Furthermore, these sensors can be used for human motion detection and health diagnostics, and show good personal thermal management performance. This work holds a promising candidate for the next generation of multifunctional flexible electronic devices.

柔性压力传感器具有出色的机械和传感性能,尤其是在个人健康监测和人工智能领域,同时还能满足多功能应用的需求,抵御恶劣的天气条件。其中,具有高比表面积和优异导电性能的 Ti3C2Tx MXene 气凝胶材料备受关注。然而,在提高低密度下的机械性能和设计多层次孔隙结构方面还面临着巨大挑战。本文首先用甲基丙烯酸 3-(三甲氧基硅基)丙酯(MPTES)和聚乙二醇二丙烯酸酯(PEGDA)合成硅烷单体(MP),然后用多巴胺改性二氧化硅(PDA-SiO2)纳米纤维与 MXene 纳米片形成共价交联纳米纤维气凝胶。这种多层次的稳定结构提高了机械强度和弹性。组装后的 MXene/MP/PDA-SiO2 压力传感器具有 -0.83 kPa-1 的高灵敏度、48 毫秒的快速响应时间、最小 1 % 的应变检测极限以及超过 10,000 次循环的可靠稳定性。此外,这些传感器还可用于人体运动检测和健康诊断,并显示出良好的个人热管理性能。这项工作为下一代多功能柔性电子设备提供了一个前景广阔的候选方案。

分散策略改善了三维打印生物聚合物纳米复合材料的力学性能

Homogenous dispersion of nanoparticles in polymer matrices is a technical challenge that if overcome can lead to improved mechanical properties of the resulting nanocomposites. In this work, we successfully refined commercially-available nanoscale, calcium deficient, and poorly crystalline hydroxyapatite (nHA) particles and composited them with acrylate and methacrylate functionalized soybean oil (mAESO) and triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) producing inks for masked stereolithography (mSLA) -based 3D printing. First, we used shear mixing and ultrasonication on nHA/ethanol mixtures to break down agglomerates and then separated the finest nanoparticles from the remaining agglomerates using centrifugation. The refined nanoparticles (termed fine) were then mixed with the resins and UV-initiator to produce inks for 3D printing. Similarly, we prepared one ink using as-purchased nHA particles (termed raw) and another ink using leftover agglomerates after refinement (termed coarse). We compared the rheological properties of the nHA-resin inks. We used mSLA to fabricate nanocomposite specimens and tested them using flexural, and Mode-I fracture toughness testing following ASTM standards. The dispersion of nanoparticles in the polymer matrix was studied by analyzing backscattered mode scanning electron microscopy images. The nHA particle refinement improved the nanoparticle dispersion in the resin matrix while also increasing the viscosity and shear yield strength of the nanocomposite ink. The flexural fracture strength, flexural modulus, and Mode-I fracture toughness of refined nHA-based nanocomposites were increased by 11%, 71%, and 12%, respectively compared to the raw nHA-based nanocomposites. However, the flexural fracture strain of refined nHA-based nanocomposites was lower by 40% compared to the raw nHA-based nanocomposites. The nanocomposites became stiffer with the incorporation of refined nanoscale nHA. The separation of nanoscale nHA particles, excellent dispersion of these nanoparticles in polymer matrix, and improved flexural strength and modulus opens a new avenue towards the 3D printing of high-performance nHA-based nanocomposites.

纳米颗粒在聚合物基质中的均匀分散是一项技术挑战,如果克服了这一挑战,就能提高纳米复合材料的机械性能。在这项工作中,我们成功地提炼出了市售的纳米级、缺钙且结晶度低的羟基磷灰石(nHA)颗粒,并将其与丙烯酸酯和甲基丙烯酸酯功能化大豆油(mAESO)和三乙二醇二甲基丙烯酸酯(TEGDMA)复合,制成了基于掩模立体光刻(mSLA)的三维打印油墨。首先,我们对 nHA/ 乙醇混合物进行剪切混合和超声处理,以分解团聚体,然后使用离心分离法从剩余团聚体中分离出最细小的纳米颗粒。然后将提纯的纳米颗粒(称为细颗粒)与树脂和紫外线引发剂混合,制成用于三维打印的油墨。同样,我们使用购买的 nHA 颗粒(称为生颗粒)制备了一种墨水,并使用精制后剩余的团聚体(称为粗颗粒)制备了另一种墨水。我们比较了 nHA 树脂油墨的流变特性。我们使用 mSLA 制作了纳米复合材料试样,并按照 ASTM 标准对其进行了挠曲和 I 型断裂韧性测试。通过分析背散射模式扫描电子显微镜图像,研究了纳米颗粒在聚合物基体中的分散情况。nHA 粒子细化改善了纳米粒子在树脂基体中的分散性,同时也提高了纳米复合油墨的粘度和剪切屈服强度。与未加工的 nHA 纳米复合材料相比,精制 nHA 纳米复合材料的弯曲断裂强度、弯曲模量和模式 I 断裂韧性分别提高了 11%、71% 和 12%。然而,与未加工的 nHA 基纳米复合材料相比,精制 nHA 基纳米复合材料的弯曲断裂应变降低了 40%。加入精制纳米级 nHA 后,纳米复合材料变得更加坚硬。纳米级 nHA 粒子的分离、这些纳米粒子在聚合物基体中的良好分散以及弯曲强度和模量的提高为高性能 nHA 基纳米复合材料的 3D 打印开辟了一条新途径。

改善 CNT 纱线的表观 IFSS 和比模量

Due to the high strength of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) significant effort has been devoted to incorporating them into fibers and composites. To maximize their potential in these areas, there must be strong interactions between the CNT structures and the matrix of the composite. For CNT yarn, progress in this area has been limited. In this work, we present a method for modifying CNT yarn which improves the apparent interfacial shear strength (IFSS) by up to 45%, as measured by single yarn pullout testing. An ammonium peroxide mixture (APM) treatment method is used to modify the yarn, and this is followed by treatment with commercial sizing agents. A tensioned heat treatment method is also employed to limit the effect of APM treatment on strength and modulus. This method increased the specific modulus of CNT yarns by as much as 16%. The combined heat and chemical treatments yield increases as high as 43% in IFSS and 6% in specific tensile modulus while tempering the decreases in specific tensile strength. The yarn is characterized by SEM, EDS and Raman spectroscopy to show surface carbon being removed from the yarn, seemingly without damaging the CNT structures in the yarn. The main mechanism for IFSS increase appears to be removal of non-graphitic material from the yarn and slight oxidation of the yarn surface. The increase seen in IFSS has the potential to improve the performance of CNT yarn/polymer matrix composites for aerospace applications.

由于碳纳米管(CNT)的高强度,人们一直致力于将其融入纤维和复合材料中。要最大限度地发挥碳纳米管在这些领域的潜力,碳纳米管结构与复合材料基体之间必须有很强的相互作用。对于碳纳米管纱线而言,这方面的研究进展有限。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种改性 CNT 纱线的方法,通过单根纱线拉拔测试,该方法可将表观界面剪切强度(IFSS)提高 45%。我们采用过氧化铵混合物 (APM) 处理法对纱线进行改性,然后再用商用上浆剂进行处理。还采用了张力热处理方法,以限制过氧化铵混合物处理对强度和模量的影响。这种方法使 CNT 纱线的比模量提高了 16%。热处理和化学处理相结合的方法使 IFSS 和比拉伸模量分别提高了 43% 和 6%,同时抑制了比拉伸强度的下降。通过扫描电子显微镜(SEM)、电致发光(EDS)和拉曼光谱(Raman spectroscopy)对纱线进行表征,发现纱线表面的碳被去除,但似乎没有破坏纱线中的 CNT 结构。IFSS 增加的主要机制似乎是纱线中的非石墨材料被去除,以及纱线表面轻微氧化。IFSS 的增加有可能提高航空航天应用中 CNT 纱线/聚合物基复合材料的性能。

具有双网络结构的增强机械强度和可拉伸离子导电水凝胶,可用于可穿戴式应变传感和能量收集

The conductive hydrogels with skin-like modulus have flourished as a promising soft electronic material for health monitoring and human-machine interface systems. Nevertheless, it is still a challenge to achieve excellent mechanical properties, high ionic conductivity, outstanding structural homogeneity, and biocompatibility of hydrogels through a simple method. Herein, a biocompatible polyacrylamide/calcium alginate/ethanol double-network hydrogel (PAM/CA/EtOH30 DN hydrogel) was prepared via free radical polymerization and solvent-exchange strategy. Benefiting from the synergistic effect of solvent replacement and the dissipating energy of the double-network structure, the resultant PAM/CA/EtOH30 hydrogel showed excellent mechanical properties. In addition, the prepared hydrogels exhibited remarkable stretchability (>1500%), fracture energy (1917 J·m-2), and ionic conductivity (1.53 S·m-1). The PAM/CA/EtOH30-based wearable strain sensor displayed a strain sensing capability with a wide operating range (0%-250%), good sensitivity (GF=1.63), and fast response time. Furthermore, the triboelectric nanogenerator for mechanical energy harvesting was created using the PAM/CA/EtOH30 double-network hydrogel as the electrode, which demonstrated exceptional electrical output performance (up to 236.8V). The proposed PAM/CA/EtOH30 hydrogels with integrated strain sensing and energy harvesting capabilities indicate a valuable potential to be applied to self-powered wearable sensing devices.

具有类肤模量的导电水凝胶作为一种前景广阔的软电子材料,在健康监测和人机界面系统中大放异彩。然而,如何通过简单的方法实现水凝胶优异的机械性能、高离子导电性、出色的结构均匀性和生物相容性仍然是一个挑战。本文通过自由基聚合和溶剂交换策略制备了一种生物相容性聚丙烯酰胺/海藻酸钙/乙醇双网络水凝胶(PAM/CA/EtOH30 DN 水凝胶)。得益于溶剂置换和双网络结构耗能的协同作用,制备出的 PAM/CA/EtOH30 水凝胶具有优异的机械性能。此外,所制备的水凝胶还具有显著的拉伸性(>1500%)、断裂能(1917 J-m-2)和离子导电性(1.53 S-m-1)。基于 PAM/CA/EtOH30 的可穿戴应变传感器具有较宽的工作范围(0%-250%)、良好的灵敏度(GF=1.63)和快速的响应时间。此外,以 PAM/CA/EtOH30 双网络水凝胶为电极,创建了用于机械能收集的三电纳米发电机,该发电机具有优异的电输出性能(高达 236.8V)。这种集成了应变传感和能量收集功能的 PAM/CA/EtOH30 水凝胶具有应用于自供电可穿戴传感设备的巨大潜力。

今日更新:Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids 5 篇,Mechanics of Materials 1 篇,Thin-Walled Structures 6 篇Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of SolidsPhysics-based discrete models for magneto-mechanical metamaterialsGabriel Alkuino, Teng Zhangdoi:10.1016/j.jmps.2024.105759基于物理的磁力学超材料离散模型Magneto-mechanical metamaterials are emerging smart materials whose mechanical responses can be tailored through structure architecture and magnetic interactions. The latter provides additional freedom in the material design space and leads to novel behaviors due to its nonlocal nature. The enriched functionalities open new possibilities in various applications, such as actuators, energy absorbers, and soft robots. However, the nonlinear and nonlocal coupling between elastic and magnetic forces poses a great challenge in the modeling and simulation of these systems, further hindering theory-based rational design strategies. Here, we focus on a class of magneto-mechanical metamaterials, comprising elastic solids embedded with rigid permanent magnets. The clear separation between elastic and magnetic forces simplifies the design and fabrication process, yet their nonlocal interplay still allows for complex behaviors. We present a simulation framework for such magneto-mechanical metamaterials through combining a lattice spring model for the elastic solid with the dipole model for the magnetic interactions and implement it in the LAMMPS molecular dynamics software. We demonstrate the capabilities of our framework by simulating a few representative structures, including shape-locking lattice metamaterials, a soft cellular solid with controllable buckling, and a metamaterial chain with phase-transforming behavior. For the shape-locking lattice metamaterials, we successfully capture the magnetic-actuation-driven reconfiguration and the nonlinear mechanical response of the curved lattices. For the soft cellular solid, we identify its buckling patterns under external non-uniform magnetic fields and simulate a buckling evolution process consistent with experiments. For the metamaterial chain, we include the strong long-range interactions among the embedded magnets and reproduce the controllable phase transitions in the experiments. Our work provides a simple yet versatile simulation methodology to investigate the nonlinear mechanical behaviors in the presence of strong external and internal magnetic forces, which will facilitate the design and analysis of magneto-mechanical materials. It can also be applied to other magnetic driven smart structures, such as soft robots.磁机械超材料是一种新兴的智能材料,其机械响应可通过结构架构和磁相互作用进行定制。后者为材料设计提供了额外的自由度,并由于其非局部性而产生新的行为。丰富的功能为致动器、能量吸收器和软机器人等各种应用提供了新的可能性。然而,弹性力和磁力之间的非线性和非局部耦合给这些系统的建模和仿真带来了巨大挑战,进一步阻碍了基于理论的合理设计策略。在此,我们重点研究一类磁力学超材料,包括嵌入刚性永磁体的弹性固体。弹性力和磁力之间的明确分离简化了设计和制造过程,但它们之间的非局部相互作用仍能产生复杂的行为。通过将弹性固体的晶格弹簧模型与磁相互作用的偶极子模型相结合,我们提出了针对此类磁机械超材料的模拟框架,并将其应用于 LAMMPS 分子动力学软件中。我们通过模拟一些具有代表性的结构,包括形状锁定晶格超材料、具有可控屈曲的软蜂窝固体和具有相变行为的超材料链,展示了我们的框架的能力。对于形状锁定晶格超材料,我们成功捕捉到了磁驱动的重新配置和弯曲晶格的非线性机械响应。对于软细胞固体,我们确定了其在外部非均匀磁场下的屈曲模式,并模拟了与实验一致的屈曲演化过程。对于超材料链,我们包含了嵌入磁体之间的强长程相互作用,并重现了实验中的可控相变。我们的工作提供了一种简单而通用的模拟方法,用于研究强内外磁力作用下的非线性力学行为,这将有助于磁力学材料的设计和分析。它还可应用于其他磁驱动智能结构,如软机器人。A micromagnetic-mechanically coupled phase-field model for fracture and fatigue of magnetostrictive alloysShen Sun, Qihua Gong, Yong Ni, Min Yidoi:10.1016/j.jmps.2024.105767磁致伸缩合金断裂和疲劳的微磁-机械耦合相场模型Magnetostrictive alloys are usually brittle materials with micromagnetic structures. Their structural reliability and durability depend on the complex micromagnetic-mechanical coupling at smaller length scales encompassing the evolution of micromagnetic structures. Herein we propose a micromagnetic-mechanically coupled phase-field model for fracture and fatigue behavior of magnetostrictive alloys with evolution of the micromagnetic structure. The thermodynamically-consistent model is derived from microforce theory, laws of thermodynamics, and Coleman–Noll analysis. The evolution of crack phase-field and magnetization-vector order parameters that are fully coupled is governed by history field dependent Allen–Cahn and Landau–Lifshitz–Gilbert equations, respectively. The model is extended to fatigue by introducing a degradation prefactor for the fracture energy as a function of positive elastic energy. One-dimensional analyses are then presented to anatomize the crack driving forces in terms of fully coupled micromagnetic-mechanical and pure mechanical driving force. We demonstrate the model capabilities by finite-element numerical studies on the micromagnetic domain evolution during the crack propagation and the influence of external magnetic field for type-I, type-II, and three-point bending fracture, as well as for the fracture of a single-edge notched specimen with an elliptical inclusion. The simulation result shows that depending on how micromagnetic domains are switched under micromagnetic-mechanical coupling, the magnetic field can enhance or decrease the critical load. In the presence of inclusion with larger fracture toughness, a crack is found to nucleate in the tri-junction of multi-domain micromagnetic structure owing to the high elastic strain around the tri-junction point. It is further found that a suitable magnetic field promoting magnetization-vector rotation around the crack tip could remarkably improve the fracturing load and fatigue life. The results demonstrate the model promising for the study of micromagnetic-mechanically coupled fracture and fatigue in magnetostrictive alloys.磁致伸缩合金通常是具有微磁结构的脆性材料。它们的结构可靠性和耐久性取决于微磁结构演化过程中较小长度尺度上复杂的微磁-机械耦合。在此,我们针对磁致伸缩合金的断裂和疲劳行为提出了一个微磁-机械耦合相场模型,该模型与微磁结构的演化有关。该模型与热力学相一致,由微力理论、热力学定律和 Coleman-Noll 分析得出。完全耦合的裂纹相场和磁化矢量阶次参数的演变分别受与历史场相关的 Allen-Cahn 和 Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert 方程的支配。通过引入作为正弹性能量函数的断裂能退化预因子,该模型被扩展到疲劳领域。然后进行一维分析,根据完全耦合的微磁-机械和纯机械驱动力对裂纹驱动力进行解剖。我们通过有限元数值研究证明了该模型的能力,研究了 I 型、II 型和三点弯曲断裂以及带有椭圆夹杂物的单边缺口试样断裂的裂纹扩展过程中的微磁畴演化和外部磁场的影响。模拟结果表明,根据微磁域在微磁-机械耦合下的切换方式,磁场可以增强或减弱临界载荷。在具有较大断裂韧性的内含物存在时,由于三交点周围的弹性应变较大,裂纹会在多域微磁结构的三交点处成核。研究进一步发现,适当的磁场可促进裂纹尖端周围的磁化矢量旋转,从而显著提高断裂载荷和疲劳寿命。研究结果表明,该模型有望用于研究磁致伸缩合金的微磁-机械耦合断裂和疲劳。An asymptotically consistent morphoelastic shell model for compressible biological structures with finite-strain deformationsXiang Yu, Xiaoyi Chendoi:10.1016/j.jmps.2024.105768具有有限应变变形的可压缩生物结构的渐近一致形态弹性壳模型We derive an asymptotically consistent morphoelastic shell model to describe the finite deformations of biological tissues using an energy approach. Biological materials may exhibit remarkable compressibility when under large deformations, and we take this factor into account for accurate predictions of their morphoelastic changes. The morphoelastic shell model combines the growth model of Rodriguez et al. and a novel shell model developed by us. We start from the three-dimensional (3D) morphoelastic model and construct the optimal shell energy based on a series expansion around the middle surface. A two-step variational method is applied that retains the leading-order expansion coefficient while eliminating the higher-order ones. The main outcome is a two-dimensional (2D) shell energy depending on the stretching and bending strains of the middle surface. The derived morphoelastic shell model is asymptotically consistent with three-dimensional morphoelasticity and can recover various shell models in literature. Several examples are shown for the verification and illustration.我们推导出一种渐近一致的形态弹性壳模型,利用能量法描述生物组织的有限变形。生物材料在发生大变形时可能表现出显著的可压缩性,我们将这一因素考虑在内,以准确预测其形态弹性变化。形态弹性壳模型结合了罗德里格斯等人的生长模型和我们开发的新型壳模型。我们从三维(3D)形态弹性模型出发,根据围绕中间表面的序列展开构建最佳壳能。我们采用了一种两步变分法,在消除高阶膨胀系数的同时保留了前阶膨胀系数。主要结果是取决于中间表面拉伸和弯曲应力的二维(2D)壳能。推导出的形态弹性壳模型与三维形态弹性渐近一致,可以恢复文献中的各种壳模型。文中举了几个例子进行验证和说明。Predicting mechanical properties of mitotic spindles with a minimal constitutive modelHoubo Sun, Jingchen Li, Yuehua Yang, Hongyuan Jiangdoi:10.1016/j.jmps.2024.105770用最小构成模型预测有丝分裂纺锤体的机械特性The mitotic spindle, crucial for precise chromosome segregation and cytoplasmic partitioning during cell division, demands stability against forces arising from chromosomal movements and thermal fluctuations. Despite its central role, the mechanical properties of spindles remain largely elusive. In this study, we delve into the mechanical properties of spindles through a comprehensive model encompassing interactions among centrosomes, microtubules, chromosomes, and molecular motors. Our model successfully reproduces the 3D self-assembly of spindles and their responses to mechanical forces. We find that the spindle exhibits viscoelastic properties, responding distinctively to stretch and compression. Rapid stretch induces transient softening of the spindle, while compression leads to temporary hardening. Based on the viscoelastic responses of spindles under constant-force and constant-displacement loadings, we propose a minimal constitutive model for the spindle structure. This constitutive model can not only accurately recapture the viscoelastic responses of spindles under stretch and compression but also predict the mechanical behaviors of spindles under constant-rate loadings and cyclic loadings, which are further verified by simulations. Therefore, our validated constitutive model can replace complex simulations, providing more interesting predictions and guidance for future experiments.有丝分裂纺锤体对细胞分裂过程中染色体的精确分离和细胞质的分配至关重要,它需要在染色体运动和热波动所产生的力的作用下保持稳定。尽管起着核心作用,但纺锤体的机械特性在很大程度上仍然难以捉摸。在本研究中,我们通过一个包含中心体、微管、染色体和分子马达之间相互作用的综合模型,深入研究了纺锤体的机械特性。我们的模型成功地再现了纺锤体的三维自组装及其对机械力的反应。我们发现纺锤体具有粘弹性,对拉伸和压缩的反应截然不同。快速拉伸会导致纺锤体瞬时软化,而压缩则会导致暂时硬化。根据纺锤体在恒力和恒位移载荷下的粘弹性反应,我们提出了纺锤体结构的最小构成模型。该构成模型不仅能准确再现主轴在拉伸和压缩下的粘弹性响应,还能预测主轴在恒定速率载荷和循环载荷下的力学行为,并通过模拟进一步验证了这些力学行为。因此,我们经过验证的构成模型可以取代复杂的模拟,为未来的实验提供更有趣的预测和指导。Active interfacial degradation/deposition of an elastic matrix by a fluid inclusion: Theory and pattern formationGiancarlo Cicconofri, Pau Blanco, Guillermo Vilanova, Pablo Sáez, Marino Arroyodoi:10.1016/j.jmps.2024.105773流体夹杂物对弹性基质的主动界面降解/沉积:理论与模式形成During collective invasion in 3D, cohesive cellular tissues migrate within a fibrous extracellular matrix (ECM). This process requires significant remodeling of the ECM by cells, notably proteolysis at the cell-ECM interface by specialized molecules. Motivated by this problem, we develop a theoretical framework to study the dynamics of a fluid inclusion (modeling the cellular tissue) embedded in an elastic matrix (the ECM), which undergoes surface degradation/deposition. To account for the active nature of this process, we develop a continuum theory based on irreversible thermodynamics, leading to a kinetic relation for the degradation front that locally resembles the force-velocity relation of a molecular motor. We further study the effect of mechanotransduction on the stability of the cell-ECM interface, finding a variety of self-organized dynamical patterns of collective invasion. Our work identifies ECM proteolysis as an active process possibly driving the self-organization of cellular tissues.在三维集体入侵过程中,具有内聚力的细胞组织会在纤维状细胞外基质(ECM)中迁移。这一过程需要细胞对 ECM 进行大量重塑,特别是在细胞-ECM 界面由特化分子进行蛋白水解。受这一问题的启发,我们建立了一个理论框架来研究嵌入弹性基质(ECM)中的流体包裹体(模拟细胞组织)的动力学,该包裹体会发生表面降解/沉积。为了解释这一过程的主动性质,我们开发了基于不可逆热力学的连续理论,从而得出降解前沿的动力学关系,该关系局部类似于分子马达的力-速度关系。我们进一步研究了机械传导对细胞-ECM 界面稳定性的影响,发现了多种集体入侵的自组织动力学模式。我们的研究发现,ECM 蛋白溶解是一个可能驱动细胞组织自组织的活跃过程。Mechanics of MaterialsPredicting mechanical heterogeneity in glassy polymer nanocomposites via an inverse computational approach based on atomistic molecular simulations and homogenization methodsMalak Barakat, Hilal Reda, Panayiota Katsamba, Hassan Shraim, Vagelis Harmandarisdoi:10.1016/j.mechmat.2024.105082 通过基于原子分子模拟和均质化方法的反向计算方法预测玻璃聚合物纳米复合材料的机械异质性Probing the mechanical behavior of the region formed between a nanoparticle reinforcement and a polymer matrix in a polymer nanocomposite structure, denoted as the “interphase”, is a main challenge as such regions are difficult to investigate by experimental methods. Here, we accurately characterize the heterogeneous mechanical behavior of polymer nanocomposites, focusing on polymer/nanofiller interphases via a combination of nanomechanical simulations and numerical homogenization techniques. Initially, the global mechanical performance of a glassy poly(ethylene oxide) polymer nanocomposite reinforced with silica nanoparticles is studied using detailed atomistic molecular dynamics simulations for 1.9% and 12.7% silica volume fractions. Next, the polymer/silica interphase thickness is identified by probing the polymer atom-based density distribution profile in the vicinity of the nanofiller at equilibrium. On the basis of this thickness, the interphase is subdivided to check the position-dependent change in mechanical properties. Then, using continuum mechanics and atomistic simulations, we proceed to compute the effective Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio of the polymer/nanoparticle interphase as function of the distance from the nanoparticle. In the last step, an inverse numerical homogenization model is proposed to predict the mechanical properties of the interphase on the basis of a comparison criteria with the data from MD. The results were found to be acceptable, raising the possibility of accurately and efficiently predicting interfacial properties in nanostructured materials.在聚合物纳米复合材料结构中,纳米粒子增强体与聚合物基体之间形成的区域被称为 "相间",探究该区域的力学行为是一大挑战,因为此类区域很难通过实验方法进行研究。在此,我们结合纳米力学模拟和数值均质化技术,准确描述了聚合物纳米复合材料的异质力学行为,重点关注聚合物/纳米填料间相。首先,通过详细的原子分子动力学模拟,研究了二氧化硅体积分数分别为 1.9% 和 12.7% 的玻璃状聚(环氧乙烷)聚合物纳米复合材料的整体机械性能。接着,通过探测平衡状态下纳米填料附近基于聚合物原子的密度分布曲线,确定了聚合物/二氧化硅相间厚度。在此厚度的基础上,对相间层进行细分,以检查机械性能随位置的变化。然后,利用连续介质力学和原子模拟,我们继续计算聚合物/纳米粒子间相的有效杨氏模量和泊松比与纳米粒子间距离的函数关系。最后,根据与 MD 数据的比较标准,提出了一个逆数值均质化模型来预测相间的机械性能。结果是可接受的,为准确有效地预测纳米结构材料的界面特性提供了可能。Thin-Walled StructuresConstitutive model of die-cast light-alloy thin-walled parts considering geometric imperfectionXueqiang Wang, Xin Wang, Lingyang Yuan, Siping Li, Liming Pengdoi:10.1016/j.tws.2024.112158 考虑几何缺陷的轻合金薄壁压铸件的结构模型Replacing steel with aluminum and shifting from forging to casting have become important means of automotive lightweight. Large integrated die-cast parts are gaining popularity among original equipment manufacturers. Engineers often ignore the influence of geometric imperfection on mechanical properties when simulating strength of thin-walled parts, therefore causing a bias. To investigate the relation between geometric imperfections and mechanical properties of die-cast light alloy, quasi-static tensile tests are conducted on the specimens of JDA1b aluminum alloy and JDM1 magnesium alloy. The specimens exhibit varying geometric imperfection factors (from 0 to 90%) achieved by introducing circular holes with different diameters. The results show that the strength and elongation of JDA1b and JDM1 alloys decrease significantly as the geometric defect factor increases. Even small holes can significantly affect tensile strength. A constitutive model that incorporates the stress limit value and geometric imperfection factors is proposed, which has higher accuracy than the J–C model. Experiments and simulations on a die-cast thin-walled part validated the idea and proposed constitutive model. These findings provide essential insights into the influence of structural holes on the mechanical properties of die-cast light-alloy materials. The proposed constitutive model offers high-precision computational support for simulating the mechanical performance of parts.以铝代钢、从锻造转向铸造已成为汽车轻量化的重要手段。大型集成压铸件越来越受到原始设备制造商的青睐。工程师在模拟薄壁零件强度时,往往会忽略几何缺陷对机械性能的影响,从而造成偏差。为了研究几何缺陷与压铸轻合金机械性能之间的关系,对 JDA1b 铝合金和 JDM1 镁合金试样进行了准静态拉伸试验。通过引入不同直径的圆孔,试样呈现出不同的几何缺陷系数(从 0 到 90%)。结果表明,随着几何缺陷系数的增加,JDA1b 和 JDM1 合金的强度和伸长率明显下降。即使是小孔也会严重影响拉伸强度。我们提出了一种包含应力极限值和几何缺陷因子的构成模型,其精度高于 J-C 模型。在压铸薄壁零件上进行的实验和模拟验证了这一想法和提出的构成模型。这些发现为了解结构孔对压铸轻合金材料机械性能的影响提供了重要依据。所提出的构成模型为模拟零件的机械性能提供了高精度的计算支持。Constitutive behavior of asymmetric multi-material honeycombs with bi-level variably-thickened composite architectureM. Awasthi, S. Naskar, A. Singh, T. Mukhopadhyaydoi:10.1016/j.tws.2024.112183具有双层可变加厚复合结构的非对称多材料蜂窝的构效行为Bi-level tailoring of cellular metamaterials involving a dual design space of unit cell and elementary beam level architectures has recently gained traction for the ability to achieve extreme elastic constitutive properties along with modulating multi-functional mechanical behavior in an unprecedented way. This article proposes an efficient analytical approach for the accurate evaluation of all constitutive elastic constants of asymmetric multi-material variably-thickened hexagonal lattices by considering the combined effect of bending, stretching, and shearing deformations of cell walls along with their rigid rotation. A tri-member unit cell is conceptualized, wherein all nine constitutive constants are obtained through the mechanics under one cell wall direction and subsequent repetitive coordinate transformations. We enhance the design space of lattice metamaterials substantially here by introducing multiple exploitable dimensions such as asymmetric geometry, multi-material unit cells and variably-thickened cell walls, wherein the conventional monomaterial auxetic and non-auxetic hexagonal configurations can be analyzed as special cases along with other symmetric and asymmetric lattices such as a range of rectangular and rhombic geometries. The generic analytical approach along with extensive numerical results presented in this paper opens up new avenues for efficient optimized design of the next-generation multi-functional lattices and cellular metamaterials with highly tailored effective elastic properties.蜂窝超材料的双级定制涉及单元格和基本梁级架构的双重设计空间,最近因其能够以前所未有的方式实现极端弹性构成特性以及调节多功能机械行为而备受关注。本文提出了一种高效的分析方法,通过考虑晶胞壁的弯曲、拉伸和剪切变形及其刚性旋转的综合影响,精确评估非对称多材料可变加厚六边形晶格的所有构成弹性常数。我们构思了一个三元单元格,通过一个单元格壁方向下的力学以及随后的重复坐标变换,获得了所有九个构成常数。在此,我们通过引入多种可利用的维度,如非对称几何形状、多材料单元格和可变加厚的单元壁,大幅提升了晶格超材料的设计空间,其中传统的单材料辅助和非辅助六边形配置可作为特例与其他对称和非对称晶格(如一系列矩形和菱形几何形状)一起进行分析。本文介绍的通用分析方法和大量数值结果为高效优化设计具有高度定制有效弹性特性的下一代多功能晶格和蜂窝超材料开辟了新途径。Dynamic fracture of hen’s eggshell under impact loading: A combined experimental, theoretical and numerical studyCong Chen, Xianheng Wang, Yan Liu, Yiran Li, Kaitao Tang, Xinming Qiudoi:10.1016/j.tws.2024.112192 冲击荷载下母鸡蛋壳的动态断裂:实验、理论和数值综合研究As a typical biological material from nature, the eggshell possesses a smooth macroscale appearance with various curvatures and hierarchical microscale morphology, which contribute to the superior mechanical properties of this lightweight brittle material. The research on the biomimicry of the eggshell has attracted much attention. For both biological reproduction and the poultry industry, the dynamic fracture of the eggshell is a key issue and quite complex due to the thin-walled structure of the eggshell and the strong fluid-solid interaction between the eggshell and its content. In our work, the dynamic fracture of hen’s eggshells under the impact and the influence of the content are thoroughly investigated experimentally, numerically, and theoretically. The responses of eggshells are similar no matter what the content is and exhibit four stages under the same input kinetic energy. It is found that there are two self-protection mechanisms of an egg when subjected to impact, which serves as significant inspiration for the design of novel structures. Under the influence of curvatures, the non-simultaneous propagation of cracks in the thickness direction induces the hinge pattern and the spider-web-like crack network. In addition to its role in biology, the viscosity of the albumen can provide resistance to damage and protect the eggshell during the impact. It is suggested that exterior curvature and interior content can be optimized to absorb dynamic impact energy when designing a thin-walled structure.作为一种典型的自然界生物材料,蛋壳具有光滑的宏观外观和不同的曲率,以及分层的微观形态,这些特点造就了这种轻质脆性材料优越的机械性能。蛋壳的生物仿生研究备受关注。对于生物繁殖和家禽业来说,蛋壳的动态断裂是一个关键问题,而且由于蛋壳的薄壁结构和蛋壳及其内容物之间强烈的流固相互作用而相当复杂。在我们的工作中,我们通过实验、数值和理论对母鸡蛋壳在冲击力和内含物影响下的动态断裂进行了深入研究。在输入动能相同的情况下,无论蛋壳的成分如何,蛋壳的反应都是相似的,并呈现出四个阶段。研究发现,鸡蛋在受到冲击时有两种自我保护机制,这对新型结构的设计具有重要启发意义。在曲率的影响下,裂纹在厚度方向上的非同步传播诱发了铰链模式和蛛网状裂纹网络。除了在生物学中的作用外,蛋白的粘度还能在撞击过程中提供抗破坏性并保护蛋壳。建议在设计薄壁结构时优化外部曲率和内部含量,以吸收动态冲击能量。Nonlinear Free Vibration Analysis of Multi-Directional Functionally Graded Porous Sandwich PlatesVan-Chinh Nguyen, Huu-Quoc Tran, Minh-Tu Trandoi:10.1016/j.tws.2024.112204 多方向功能分级多孔夹层板的非线性自由振动分析Multi-directional functionally graded materials (MFGMs) have attracted significant research attention due to their advantages over one-directional FGMs. In MFGM structures, material properties can be tailored to grade in the required direction, overcoming practical problems like excessive temperature gradients or extreme deflections. This paper aims to investigate the nonlinear free vibration of MFG porous sandwich plates to improve their application in sandwich structures. The two outer layers of the plates are composed of three-directional functionally graded material (3D-FGM), with a bi-directional functionally graded material (2D-FGM) core layer. Additionally, the porosity distribution within the material matrix is assumed to be either even or uneven across the plate thickness. A higher-order finite element model based on Shi's plate theory and the von Kármán assumption is developed. The nonlinear free vibration frequencies are determined through the maximum vibrational amplitude using an iterative algorithm with a displacement control strategy. The accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed model are demonstrated through a comparison with published data. The results show that the vibration response is significantly influenced by various parameters. Specifically, increasing the material gradient indexes in the thickness direction enhances the frequency ratio, while increasing the gradient indexes in the length and width directions reduces it. Higher porosity coefficients in the core layer decrease the frequency ratio, whereas higher pore coefficients in the outer layers increase it. The additional knowledge gained from this study can help with future analysis and design procedures related to the nonlinear responses of these complex structures.多向功能分级材料(MFGMs)因其优于单向功能分级材料而备受研究关注。在多方向功能分级材料结构中,材料特性可按所需方向进行分级,从而克服了温度梯度过大或极端挠度等实际问题。本文旨在研究 MFG 多孔夹层板的非线性自由振动,以改进其在夹层结构中的应用。夹层板的两个外层由三维功能分级材料(3D-FGM)组成,核心层为双向功能分级材料(2D-FGM)。此外,假定材料基体内的孔隙率分布在整个板厚上均匀或不均匀。基于 Shi 的板理论和 von Kármán 假设,建立了一个高阶有限元模型。通过采用位移控制策略的迭代算法,通过最大振幅确定非线性自由振动频率。通过与已公布数据的对比,证明了所提出模型的准确性和有效性。结果表明,振动响应受到各种参数的显著影响。具体来说,增加厚度方向的材料梯度指数会提高频率比,而增加长度和宽度方向的梯度指数则会降低频率比。核心层的孔隙系数越高,频率比越低,而外层的孔隙系数越高,频率比越高。从本研究中获得的更多知识有助于今后对这些复杂结构的非线性响应进行分析和设计。Fire resistance time prediction and optimization of cold-formed steel walls based on machine learningKang Liu, Mingming Yu, Yaqiong Liu, Wei Chen, Zhiyuan Fang, James B.P. Limdoi:10.1016/j.tws.2024.112207基于机器学习的冷弯型钢墙体耐火时间预测与优化Many full-scale experiments and numerical studies have been conducted to determine the fire performance of cold-formed steel (CFS) walls, but these studies are expensive and time consuming. This study proposes a machine learning (ML) based framework aiming at accurately predicting the fire resistance time (FRT) and optimizing the design of CFS walls under ISO 834 fire condition. To overcome the limitation of 32 experimental data points in the literature, a validated numerical method was used to generate 592 data points to expand the dataset of CFS walls, considering different wall configurations, various sheathing board types and thicknesses. The XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) model was trained with numerical data and tested with experimental data. The hyperparameter tuning of the XGBoost model was implemented with Bayesian optimization, and it was found that the XGBoost model accurately predicted the FRT of CFS walls, with R2 and MAPE values being 0.933 and 8.46%, respectively. The prediction process of the XGBoost model was interpreted by the SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) method to determine the relative importance of input variables. The NSGA-II algorithm was adopted to optimize the FRT-cost dual-objective of CFS walls and the Pareto front including optimal solutions was emerging. The cost for each solution of Pareto front sets was lower than that in the real dataset at same FRT level. This phenomenon implied that the ML-based optimization framework successfully identified the cost-efficient design process. The proposed ML-based optimization framework offers a promising alternative for engineers to design CFS walls effectively with both mechanical and economic objectives.为了确定冷弯型钢(CFS)墙体的防火性能,已经进行了许多全尺寸实验和数值研究,但这些研究既昂贵又耗时。本研究提出了一种基于机器学习(ML)的框架,旨在准确预测耐火时间(FRT),并优化 ISO 834 火灾条件下 CFS 墙体的设计。为了克服文献中仅有 32 个实验数据点的局限性,我们使用一种经过验证的数值方法生成了 592 个数据点,以扩大 CFS 墙体的数据集,同时考虑到不同的墙体结构、各种覆面板类型和厚度。利用数值数据对 XGBoost(eXtreme Gradient Boosting)模型进行了训练,并用实验数据进行了测试。XGBoost 模型的超参数调整是通过贝叶斯优化实现的,结果发现 XGBoost 模型准确预测了 CFS 墙体的 FRT,R2 和 MAPE 值分别为 0.933 和 8.46%。XGBoost 模型的预测过程采用 SHAP(SHapley Additive exPlanations)方法进行解释,以确定输入变量的相对重要性。采用 NSGA-II 算法对 CFS 墙体的 FRT 成本双目标进行优化,出现了包括最优解在内的帕累托前沿。在相同 FRT 水平下,帕累托前沿集每个解的成本均低于真实数据集。这一现象表明,基于 ML 的优化框架成功地确定了具有成本效益的设计过程。所提出的基于 ML 的优化框架为工程师有效设计 CFS 墙体提供了一种兼顾机械和经济目标的可行方法。Mechanical and thermal property analysis and optimization design of hybrid lattice structure based on triply periodic minimal surfacesHongling Ye, Fuwei Tian, Weilin He, Sujun Wangdoi:10.1016/j.tws.2024.112203基于三周期极小面的混合晶格结构的机械和热性能分析及优化设计Hybrid lattice structures have significant potential in engineering applications owing to their outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. In this paper, an innovative design strategy for hybrid lattice structures is proposed involving the integration of primitive surfaces with truss lattice configurations. This approach allows for the full exploitation of the mechanical and thermal properties inherent in each component, leading to the development of new hybrid lattice structures. Firstly, the quasi-static compression and fluid-solid coupling heat conduction analysis of the hybrid lattice structure is carried out by numerical simulation. Then the effects of surface wall thickness, and truss diameter on the mechanical and thermal properties of the lattice structure are discussed. Additionally, the mechanical performance of the array hybrid lattice structure is evaluated through quasi-static compression experiments. These experimental results are compared with those from the numerical simulations, validating the accuracy of the simulation model. Finally, a multi-objective optimization model targeting specific elastic modulus and heat dissipation performance (indicated by Nusselt number) is established, in response to the demand of aviation and aerospace industries for lightweight, load-bearing, and heat-dissipating multi-functional integrated lattice design. The non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is utilized to solve the optimal model, and the distribution of feasible solutions and Pareto front are obtained. The results show that the interpenetrating hybrid lattice structure has a greater improvement in mechanical and thermal properties than the primitive surfaces. This research holds significant implications for the design of multi-performance hybrid lattice structures.混合晶格结构因其出色的机械和热性能,在工程应用中具有巨大潜力。本文提出了混合晶格结构的创新设计策略,涉及原始表面与桁架晶格配置的整合。这种方法可以充分利用每个组件固有的机械和热性能,从而开发出新型混合晶格结构。首先,通过数值模拟对混合晶格结构进行了准静态压缩和流固耦合热传导分析。然后讨论了表面壁厚和桁架直径对晶格结构的机械和热性能的影响。此外,还通过准静态压缩实验评估了阵列混合晶格结构的机械性能。这些实验结果与数值模拟结果进行了比较,验证了模拟模型的准确性。最后,针对航空和航天工业对轻质、承重和散热多功能集成晶格设计的需求,建立了以特定弹性模量和散热性能(用努塞尔特数表示)为目标的多目标优化模型。利用非支配排序遗传算法求解最优模型,得到了可行解的分布和帕累托前沿。结果表明,与原始表面相比,穿插混合晶格结构在机械性能和热性能方面有更大的改善。这项研究对设计高性能混合晶格结构具有重要意义。来源:复合材料力学仿真Composites FEM
