复合材料和钢粘接接头疲劳性能的几何和材料影响研究
This study experimentally investigates the combined effect of several parameters on the fatigue behaviour of adhesive bonded single lap joints, including: substrate material (steel, glass fibre reinforced polymer (GFRP) and carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP)); adhesive material (epoxy and methacrylate); as well as joint geometry (overlap length and adhesive thickness). Results showed that despite the lower bulk strength of the ductile methacrylate adhesive, in terms of the ratio of fatigue load to ultimate failure load, joints bonded by this adhesive had a higher fatigue performance when compared to joints bonded by the epoxy one, with differences in fatigue life of up to 20 times for the same load ratio. In a similar substrate configuration, flexible GFRP substrates reduced the fatigue life of the joints bonded by the methacrylate adhesive more than 10 times when compared to steel joints for the same load. However, in a dissimilar configuration, an increase in fatigue life was observed which, based on a finite element analysis, was attributed to the ductility of the adhesive and its effects on the stress field. In CFRP joints bonded by the epoxy adhesive, a deterioration in fatigue performance was observed due to the occurrence of interfacial failure. Regarding the geometrical factors, increasing overlap length led to a decrease of the fatigue life for the same nominal shear stress. Similar trend was obtained for adhesive thickness. A parametric analysis revealed that overlap length is the parameter that affects more the fatigue performance of the joints.
本研究通过实验研究了多个参数对粘合剂粘接单搭接接头疲劳性能的综合影响,包括:基材材料(钢、玻璃纤维增强聚合物(GFRP)和碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP));粘合剂材料(环氧树脂和甲基丙烯酸酯);以及接头几何形状(重叠长度和粘合剂厚度)。结果表明,尽管韧性甲基丙烯酸酯粘合剂的体积强度较低,但就疲劳载荷与极限破坏载荷的比率而言,与环氧树脂粘合剂粘合的接头相比,这种粘合剂粘合的接头具有更高的疲劳性能,在相同载荷比率下,疲劳寿命最多相差 20 倍。在类似的基材配置中,柔性玻璃纤维增强塑料基材与相同载荷下的钢接头相比,甲基丙烯酸酯粘合剂粘合接头的疲劳寿命缩短了 10 倍以上。然而,在不同的结构中,观察到疲劳寿命增加,根据有限元分析,这归因于粘合剂的延展性及其对应力场的影响。在使用环氧树脂粘合剂粘合的 CFRP 接头中,由于出现界面破坏,疲劳性能有所下降。在几何因素方面,增加重叠长度会导致相同名义剪应力下的疲劳寿命缩短。粘合剂厚度也有类似的趋势。参数分析表明,重叠长度是对接头疲劳性能影响较大的参数。

预测 CNT 金属基纳米复合材料的有效弹性模量:包含团聚和相间效应的微观力学模型
Agglomeration and interphase region of fillers are two important factors that affect the mechanical properties of metal matrix composites reinforced with carbon nanotubes (CNT-CMMs). However, most of the existing theoretical models predict an ascending linear in strength for composites with increasing filler content, which disagrees with the experimental results, especially at high filler loading. In fact, at high CNT concentrations, agglomeration and weak interphase region bonding reduce the strength and consequently degrade the mechanical properties of composites. Based on the mean-field theory, we present a novel micromechanical model to predict the elastic modulus of CNT-CMMs by considering the effects of these two factors. Furthermore, we investigate the effect of other parameters such as CNTs aspect ratio, agglomeration amount, interphase layer thickness and modulus, and matrix modulus on the elastic modulus of CNT-CMMs. Finally, we validate our model by comparing it with numerous experimental outcomes from the literature signifies good precision. Using this model, it is possible to optimize the filler value and also maximize the elastic modulus, which can be a powerful tool for designing the CNT-CMMs.
填料的团聚和相间区域是影响碳纳米管(CNT-CMMs)增强金属基复合材料机械性能的两个重要因素。然而,现有的大多数理论模型都预测,随着填料含量的增加,复合材料的强度呈线性上升趋势,这与实验结果不符,尤其是在填料含量较高的情况下。事实上,在 CNT 浓度较高的情况下,团聚和相间区域结合力较弱会降低强度,进而降低复合材料的机械性能。基于均场理论,我们提出了一种新型微机械模型,通过考虑这两个因素的影响来预测 CNT-CMM 的弹性模量。此外,我们还研究了其他参数对 CNT-CMM 弹性模量的影响,如 CNT 长径比、团聚量、相间层厚度和模量以及基体模量。最后,我们将模型与大量文献中的实验结果进行比较,验证了模型的精确性。利用该模型,可以优化填料值,同时最大限度地提高弹性模量,是设计 CNT-CMM 的有力工具。

基于拉伸工艺的超低密度碳纤维曲壁蜂窝的抗弯曲性能
Although honeycomb is a kind of lightweight structural material with great potential, its specific strength is not always able to meet the requirements, especially in the weight-sensitive field. Inspired by the bionic idea of cuttlebone, the curved-wall configuration design is proposed to strengthen the buckling impedance of honeycomb, which can effectively prevent the premature occurrence of buckling failure mode induced by thin walls. Compared with the straight-wall honeycomb materials of the same geometric size, the probability of buckling failure in curved-wall honeycomb materials proposed in this paper is reduced by more than 22 %. Moreover, to achieve the preparation of curved-wall configuration, a processing strategy that uses stretching process to prepare ultralight carbon fiber honeycomb (Carbcomb) material is firstly introduced. Compared to the Hexcel Corporation’s aluminum honeycomb with a density of 21 kg/m3, for the Carbcomb, the specific compressive strength and specific shear strength along both the L and W directions respectively improved by 57 %, 61 % and 77 %. In addition, the minimum density of fabricated Carbcomb (14.6 kg/m3) is less than that of the Hexcel's products (16 kg/m3), and the research findings fill the gap of the carbon fiber honeycomb material in low density areas (10 ∼ 30 kg/m3). More importantly, this process which does not require much manual operation can effectively avoid the problems of unstable mechanical properties, difficult mass production and high preparation cost of the existing carbon fiber structural parts. This curved-wall configuration design and fabricated approach widens the potential of carbon fiber honeycomb as a structural material, and makes it possible for lower cost and higher efficiency in aerospace and transportation applications.
虽然蜂窝是一种潜力巨大的轻质结构材料,但其比强度并不总是能满足要求,尤其是在对重量敏感的领域。受海螵蛸仿生学思想的启发,我们提出了弧形壁配置设计,以增强蜂窝的屈曲阻抗,从而有效防止因壁薄而过早出现屈曲失效模式。与相同几何尺寸的直壁蜂窝材料相比,本文提出的曲壁蜂窝材料的屈曲失效概率降低了 22% 以上。此外,为实现弧壁结构的制备,首先介绍了一种采用拉伸工艺制备超轻碳纤维蜂窝材料(Carbcomb)的加工策略。与 Hexcel 公司密度为 21 kg/m3 的铝蜂窝材料相比,Carbcomb 材料沿 L 和 W 方向的比压缩强度和比剪切强度分别提高了 57%、61% 和 77%。此外,Carbcomb 的最小密度(14.6 千克/立方米)低于 Hexcel 的产品(16 千克/立方米),该研究成果填补了碳纤维蜂窝材料在低密度领域(10 ∼ 30 千克/立方米)的空白。更重要的是,这种不需要太多人工操作的工艺能有效避免现有碳纤维结构件机械性能不稳定、难以批量生产、制备成本高等问题。这种弧形壁构造设计和制造方法拓宽了碳纤维蜂窝作为结构材料的潜力,使其在航空航天和交通运输领域的低成本、高效率应用成为可能。

树脂渗透对织物层压板弹道行为影响的实验和数值研究
This study aims to identify the influence of resin permeation on ballistic responses of fabric laminates. According to experimental results, when the resin permeation degree was improved, the yarn mobility was greatly constrained due to increasing of the bonding force, and the specific energy absorption of laminates under ballistic impact was degraded in comparison with that of the neat fabric. Different resin permeation states in a single yarn and fabric were simulated through Finite Element (FE) modeling at a fiber-bundle level. For a given resin ratio of 15%, semi-permeation of resin in a single yarn was benefit for energy absorption due to even distribution of impact load at the early impact, but full-permeation of resin resulted in energy absorption degradation due to high stress concentration and premature failure. For laminate models, the yarn mobility was severely constrained not only by resin bonding but also by yarns interlacement. In comparison with the neat fabric, stress distribution area on laminates was decreased 30–70%. Yarns contribution to energy absorption was significantly reduced in particular for principal yarns. Such results indicated that perfect resin permeation in armor-grade composite played a negative effect on ballistic energy dissipation due to low material utilization efficiency.
本研究旨在确定树脂渗透对织物层压板弹道响应的影响。实验结果表明,当树脂渗透度提高时,由于粘合力的增加,纱线的流动性受到很大限制,层压织物在弹道冲击下的比能量吸收与纯织物相比有所下降。通过有限元(FE)建模,在纤维束水平上模拟了单根纱线和织物中不同的树脂渗透状态。在给定的 15% 树脂比率下,单根纱线中的半渗透树脂有利于吸收能量,因为在早期冲击时冲击载荷分布均匀,但全渗透树脂则会导致能量吸收能力下降,因为应力集中和过早失效。对于层压模型,纱线的流动性不仅受到树脂粘合的严重限制,还受到纱线交错的限制。与纯织物相比,层压板上的应力分布面积减少了 30-70%。纱线对能量吸收的贡献明显降低,尤其是主纱。这些结果表明,由于材料利用效率低,装甲级复合材料中的完美树脂渗透对弹道能量耗散产生了负面影响。

基于形状变形复合材料的自驱动智能曲面铰链
The space deployable structures based on shape memory polymer composites (SMPCs) possessed excellent self-deployable performance, which effectively avoided the impact and electromagnetic pulse (EMP) caused by the explosion of pyrotechnic devices. In this work, two types of self-driven curved hinges with different angles of 80° and 115° (Type 80 and Type 115) were designed based on SMPCs. The thermomechanical properties and time–temperature-dependent viscoelastic behaviors of SMPCs were systematically investigated. The three-point bending performance and cyclic shape memory performance of the developed hinges were also characterized. In addition, the deployment performances of Type 80 driven 350 g object under different heating powers were investigated in the environment of ± 70 °C and 103 Pa atmospheric pressure. A staircase-like heating strategy was proposed to achieve precise and controllable deployment under this environment. The developed self-driven curved hinges were expected to have tremendous application potential on the flap actuators and optical payload rotating platforms of the satellites.

潮湿环境中碳纤维/基质界面的劣化及硅偶联剂改性的影响:原子研究
Extended exposure to moisture could harm the carbon fiber/matrix interface, threatening CFRP’s reliability service. This paper introduces a method that develops molecular dynamics models to analyze the deterioration of the interface and the influence of the silicon coupling agent. The mechanical properties of the interface in humid environments are obtained through simulations. The interfacial shear strength decreases by 25.68% and 26.96% respectively, demonstrating good consistency between experiment and simulation. The free volume and water distribution function characterize the extent of interface deterioration under varying moisture levels. The water molecules weak interface interactions through hydrogen bonding, leading to abnormal swelling of nanoscale structure. This inhibits the stress transfer between the fiber and matrix, weakening the interfacial shear strength. Additionally, the silane coupling agent reduces the pathway for water transmission, diminishing water diffusion. It can enhance the water damage resistance capability of interfacial strength.
长时间暴露在潮湿环境中会损害碳纤维/基体界面,威胁 CFRP 的可靠性。本文介绍了一种建立分子动力学模型来分析界面劣化和硅偶联剂影响的方法。通过模拟获得了界面在潮湿环境中的机械性能。界面剪切强度分别降低了 25.68% 和 26.96%,实验与模拟结果具有良好的一致性。自由体积和水分分布函数表征了界面在不同湿度下的劣化程度。水分子通过氢键削弱了界面相互作用,导致纳米结构异常膨胀。这抑制了纤维与基体之间的应力传递,削弱了界面剪切强度。此外,硅烷偶联剂还能减少水的传播途径,降低水的扩散。它可以增强界面强度的抗水损能力。

用于 PyC/SiC 界面涂层氧化和自修复的扩散-反应-变形内聚界面
This paper presents a fully coupled thermodynamically consistent diffusion–reaction-deformation cohesive model for pyrolytic carbon (PyC)/SiC interfacial coating in fiber-reinforced composites. Arrhenius function is used to capture the chemical kinetics and the Kuhn-Tucker conditions is exploited to describe the damage evolution of interfacial coating. A strong connection between the diffusion–reaction process and interfacial mechanical deformation is established by the cohesive model, and the rules of the model parameters are discussed in detail. Implementation of the cohesive zone model is conducted in ABAQUS finite element software through the use of UEL subroutines. A mesh convergence for the model is tested and the model is validated by the comparison with the experimental results. A Representative Volume Element (RVE) model for fiber-reinforced composites at different temperatures, equipped with custom cohesive elements, is constructed to investigate the impact of PyC/SiC coating during oxidation. Two-step simulation is adopted to solve the chemo-mechanical behaviors of interfacial coating.The impact of the interfacial coating on stress transfer between the matrix and fibers is highlighted by numerical results that demonstrate an initial decline in mechanical properties followed by an upward trend with increasing temperature. The model also captures the coupling mechanisms between the diffusion–reaction process and the interfacial deformation in the interfacial coating. Theoretical insights for fiber-reinforced composites in chemical environments are provided, guiding the design of interfacial coatings for potential engineering applications.

五模超材料的闭式分析关系
Pentamode metamaterials are a class of extremal materials exhibiting fluid-like mechanical behavior. The mechanical properties of pentamode metamaterials arise from their unique micro-architecture, rather than their constituent material. In this research, we present closed-form analytical relationships for the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio of pentamode lattice structures with double-cone struts based on cubic diamond morphology. To validate our analytical solutions, we performed numerical simulations and experimental tests, which confirmed the accuracy of the derived relationships. Our findings indicate that increasing the smaller diameter (d) and the larger-to-smaller diameter ratio (α) of the double-cones increases the elastic modulus of pentamode metamaterials. However, within the considered range of d and α, the Poisson’s ratio is nearly constant and lies within the range of approximately 0.5. These analytical relationships provide valuable insight into the mechanical behavior of pentamode metamaterials, which can aid in the design and optimization of new materials with unique properties.
五模超材料是一类表现出类似流体力学行为的极端材料。五模超材料的机械特性源于其独特的微结构,而非其组成材料。在这项研究中,我们基于立方钻石形态,提出了具有双锥支柱的五模晶格结构的弹性模量和泊松比的闭式分析关系。为了验证我们的分析解,我们进行了数值模拟和实验测试,证实了推导关系的准确性。我们的研究结果表明,增大双锥的小直径(d)和大-小直径比(α)会增加五模超材料的弹性模量。然而,在考虑的 d 和 α 范围内,泊松比几乎是恒定的,大约在 0.5 的范围内。这些分析关系为五模超材料的机械行为提供了宝贵的见解,有助于设计和优化具有独特性能的新材料。

采用非线性粘合剂的钢筋玻璃梁抗裂性有限差分法
Reinforced glass beam (RG beam) is a type of structural glass member that has been developed in recent years. This RG beam consists of a glass beam to which reinforcement material, such as steel, is adhesively attached in the tensile side to improve crack resistance. The adhesive plays a critical role in the structural performance of RG beam. However, the effect of non-linear shear-slip behavior of the adhesive layer remains unclear and has been neglected in most previous studies, which can result in inaccurate estimations. To address this issue, this paper presents a finite difference model (FDM) that utilizes an explicit step-by-step method and trial-and-error iterative method for interfacial stress analysis. The model predicts the static structural response of a simply-supported RG beam that simulates the adhesive with non-linear stress-slip behavior. Furthermore, the model describes the adherend’s shear deformation in elastic. The FDM results are then compared with the finite element method (FEM), adopting discrete nonlinear connectors (springs) to simulate the adhesion, and available analytical methods. Detailed parametric studies are further conducted to investigate the influences of glass strength, load pattern, reinforcement ratio and height-to-span ratio for proposing design recommendations.
强化玻璃梁(RG 梁)是近年来开发的一种玻璃结构构件。这种 RG 梁由玻璃梁组成,在玻璃梁的抗拉一侧粘附有钢筋等加固材料,以提高抗裂性能。粘合剂对 RG 梁的结构性能起着至关重要的作用。然而,粘合剂层的非线性剪切-滑移行为的影响仍不明确,而且在之前的大多数研究中都被忽略了,这可能会导致不准确的估算。为解决这一问题,本文提出了一种有限差分模型(FDM),利用显式分步法和试错迭代法进行界面应力分析。该模型预测了简单支撑 RG 梁的静态结构响应,模拟了具有非线性应力-滑动行为的粘合剂。此外,该模型还描述了粘合剂的弹性剪切变形。然后,将 FDM 结果与采用离散非线性连接器(弹簧)模拟粘合的有限元法(FEM)和现有的分析方法进行比较。还进一步进行了详细的参数研究,以调查玻璃强度、载荷模式、加固比和高度跨度比的影响,从而提出设计建议。

几何形状和温度对开孔和螺栓连接 CF/PEKK 复合材料拉伸性能和破坏行为的影响
Temperature-dependent tensile properties of carbon-fiber-reinforced polyetherketoneketone (CF/PEKK) composites with varying width-to-diameter (W/D) ratios in open-hole (OH) and bolted joint (BJ) were investigated. CF/PEKK exhibited higher modulus and strength at lower temperature due to restricted polymer chain mobility, and lower values at elevated temperature due to increased polymer ductility. OH net tensile strength decreased with decreasing W/D, with strain retention dropping significantly at W/D≤ 2. The approximate average strain concentration factor determined from digital image correlation slightly exceeded theoretical values due to semi-crystalline nature of PEKK. Distinct failure behaviors highlighting the complex interplay between temperature, W/D, and failure characteristics. Evaluating W/D and temperature effects on BJ CF/PEKK revealed changing failure modes. Bolted joint efficiency emphasizing the need to optimize W/D ratios above 2 to achieve high efficiency. These findings highlight the geometry and temperature interplay affects CF/PEKK composites, which are crucial for designing high-performance materials, especially for aerospace applications.

用于运动敏感型可穿戴电子设备的高弹性和导电性桐藻状双层电极
The development of motion-insensitive electronic devices capable of maintaining consistent performance during bending, twisting, and stretching movements of the human skin is crucial for realizing wearable sensor systems. Various approaches for creating stretchable electrodes for wearable device fabrication have been exploited; however, the simultaneous achievement of high stretchability and conductivity in an electrode remains challenging. In this study, we propose styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene-based highly stretchable and conductive double-layer electrodes that have a kirigami structure that promotes conductivity preservation. Ag nanowires (NWs) and an Au double-layer film exhibited a low sheet resistance of 7.6 Ω/sq and maintained conductivity even at a maximum tensile strain of 350 %. The electrodes demonstrated consistent current responses after 1000 cycles of testing and maintained reliable electronic device performance under motion-induced conditions such as bending, twisting, and stretching. Electrocardiogram (ECG) sensing was conducted to monitor the heart rate of the mouse with strain applied to the electrode. Morphological analysis revealed that the Au film dispersed the stress uniformly across the entire film during stretching, and the Ag NWs suppressed microcrack propagation, demonstrating the contribution of the kirigami structure and the resulting stretching mechanism toward the significant enhancement of stretchability. The highly conductive and stretchable electrodes developed in this study promote the development of high-performance wearable electronics that can function under highly flexible conditions.

通过加入 ZrO2/PU 涂层实现超高分子量聚乙烯纱线的动态强化
Wrapping is an effective technique for reducing defects in fabric weaving and promoting even wetting in composite manufacturing, which is potential to enhance the impact resistance of armor materials. In this study, we impregnated UHMWPE yarns with a polyurethane (PU) compound and cured them to create composite yarns, and ZrO2 was introduced to improve the toughness. The microstructures were analyzed using three-dimensional X-ray computed tomography, optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Quasi-static and dynamic tensile experiments were conducted using a universal testing machine and Kolsky tension bar, respectively. High-speed imaging was used to capture the real-time failure process, and post-fracture analysis was performed to examine the fracture morphology. The effects of strain rate, gauge length, and the presence of PU and ZrO2 on the mechanical behavior of the yarns were investigated. The results showed that the peak force of the composite yarns with PU coatings exhibited strain-rate dependency at low strain rates (below 4.4 × 10-2 s-1) but became insensitive to strain rate in the higher range of 4.4 × 10-2 s-1 to 1500 s-1. Furthermore, the introduction of ZrO2 effectively increased the peak force, potentially by strengthening the bonding between individual fibers within the yarn.
包覆是一种有效的技术,可减少织物编织过程中的缺陷,促进复合材料制造过程中的均匀润湿,从而提高装甲材料的抗冲击性。在这项研究中,我们用聚氨酯(PU)化合物浸渍超高分子量聚乙烯(UHMWPE)纱线并将其固化,从而制造出复合纱线,并引入 ZrO2 来提高韧性。使用三维 X 射线计算机断层扫描、光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜分析了微观结构。分别使用万能试验机和 Kolsky 拉伸杆进行了准静态和动态拉伸实验。采用高速成像技术实时捕捉断裂过程,并进行断裂后分析以检查断裂形态。研究了应变速率、轨距长度以及 PU 和 ZrO2 的存在对纱线机械行为的影响。结果表明,带有聚氨酯涂层的复合纱线的峰值力在低应变速率(低于 4.4 × 10-2 s-1)时表现出应变速率依赖性,但在 4.4 × 10-2 s-1 至 1500 s-1 的较高应变速率范围内变得对应变速率不敏感。此外,ZrO2 的引入有效地提高了峰值力,这可能是通过加强纱线内单根纤维之间的粘合力实现的。
