电动飞机 L 型复合结构的动力学控制:理论分析与实验验证
This paper focuses on the vibration control of an L-shaped composite structure, which is a simplified part of the motor support structure in an electric airplane. NiTiNOL steel wire rope (NiTi-ST) is employed as the vibration control mechanism. The study begins with a natural frequency and modal analysis using the Rayleigh-Ritz approach, which is subsequently validated using finite element analysis and experimental hammering methods. The dynamical equations are derived through the Lagrange method and then discretized using the Galerkin truncation method (GTM). Vibration responses of the simplified model are obtained through the harmonic balance method (HBM), and these results are confirmed through validation with the Runge-Kutta method (RKM). Based on the theoretical analysis, the experiments are carried out to optimize the vibration control scheme of L-shaped composite beam. The results demonstrates that the NiTi-ST wire rope effectively controls vibrations without affecting the system's natural frequency.

考虑纤维基质损伤的非线性速率相关三维复合材料结构的多尺度 FE2 研究
In the present paper, a two-scale FE2 technique based on periodic homogenization theory is investigated to predict the macroscopic non-linear behavior of polymer matrix composite structures. The computational technique accounts for the fiber/matrix interfacial damage, the matrix ductile damage and the effect of 3D periodic microstructure. The developed approach integrates the geometric description and the non-linear time-dependent local behavior of the different constituents (fibers, matrix and interface). For numerical calculations, advanced User Defined Material and User Element subroutines are developed at the two scales, simultaneously activated to solve macroscopic and microscopic problems through an incremental scheme in the finite element commercial code Abaqus/Implicit The computational efficiency of the developed multi-scale approach is demonstrated by predicting the overall response of 3D composite structures under complex loading paths. The composite structures consist of thermoplastic polymer matrix with elasto-viscoplastic behavior and ductile damage, reinforced by elastic aligned short fibers that are coated by a cohesive zone, which obeys the general unified potential. The numerical results obtained by FE2 simulation with and without accounting for interface effect are analyzed and compared for two examples: Meuwissen-like and 3D corner shape structures. The main benefits of the developed approach lie in accessing the microscopic strain fields, the distributions of the internal variables and the damage evolution in both polymer matrix and interface, as well as identifying their repercussions on the macroscopic response.

新型自锚式 CFRP 电缆系统的长期蠕变行为
Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) cables are an attractive material for bridge cables due to their light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance properties. However, research on their long-term creep performance is limited. In this study, long-term creep tests were conducted on self-anchored CFRP cables under various stress levels to evaluate their creep performance and residual mechanical properties. Based on experimental data, million-hour creep coefficients and relaxation coefficients were predicted. The results indicated that the self-anchored CFRP cable system had a million-hour creep coefficient ranging from 6.1% to 7.9% at stress levels from 0.3 fu to 0.7 fu (where fu represents the characteristic tensile strength). Additionally, maintaining low and medium stress levels for 1000 h improved the tensile strength and stability of the CFRP cables. The self-anchored CFRP system was also able to provide effective anchorage even after continuous loading. By comparing with the steel cable data in the literature, the self-anchored CFRP system exhibited smaller creep and relaxation, as well as superior residual tensile properties. These findings suggested that the self-anchored CFRP cable exhibited favorable long-term reliability, and finally self-anchored CFRP cables were successfully applied to a bridge in the campus of Tsinghua University.
碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)缆绳重量轻、强度高、耐腐蚀,是一种极具吸引力的桥梁缆绳材料。然而,对其长期蠕变性能的研究还很有限。本研究在不同应力水平下对自锚 CFRP 缆索进行了长期蠕变试验,以评估其蠕变性能和残余机械性能。根据实验数据预测了百万小时蠕变系数和松弛系数。结果表明,在 0.3 fu 到 0.7 fu 的应力水平下(其中 fu 代表特征抗拉强度),自锚 CFRP 电缆系统的百万小时蠕变系数介于 6.1% 到 7.9% 之间。此外,保持中低应力水平 1000 小时可提高 CFRP 缆索的抗拉强度和稳定性。自锚 CFRP 系统即使在持续加载后也能提供有效的锚固。与文献中的钢缆数据相比,自锚式 CFRP 系统的蠕变和松弛较小,残余拉伸性能优越。这些研究结果表明,自锚式 CFRP 拉索具有良好的长期可靠性,最终自锚式 CFRP 拉索被成功应用于清华大学校园内的一座桥梁。

通过厚度正面聚合:工艺开发与优化
Current methods for the manufacture of fiber-reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) are energy intensive, time consuming, and have adverse effects on the environment. Frontal polymerization (FP) is an out-of-autoclave, self-sustaining cure process garnering significant adoption by enabling rapid and energy-efficient manufacture of FRPCs. Prior FP-based manufacture of FRPCs rely on in-plane triggers to initiate the reaction. In the present study, we adopt through-thickness curing of carbon FRPCs with emphasis on the energy input required and the resulting composite properties. High energy input resulted in high glass transition temperature (Tg=156°C), fiber volume fraction (Vf=65%), and low void content (Vv≈0). Computational modeling and optimization complement the experiments with focus on further reducing the energy whilst maintaining the favorable properties achieved at high energy inputs. A 27.5% reduction in energy resulted while maintaining similar performance.
目前制造纤维增强聚合物复合材料(FRPC)的方法耗能、耗时,并对环境造成不利影响。正面聚合(FP)是一种无需高压釜、可自我维持的固化工艺,可快速、节能地制造 FRPC,因而得到广泛采用。先前基于 FP 的 FRPC 制造依赖于平面内触发器来启动反应。在本研究中,我们采用了碳 FRPC 的通厚固化工艺,重点研究了所需的能量输入和由此产生的复合材料性能。高能量输入带来了高玻璃化转变温度(Tg=156°C)、纤维体积分数(Vf=65%)和低空隙含量(Vv≈0)。计算建模和优化是对实验的补充,重点是进一步降低能量,同时保持高能量输入时实现的有利特性。在保持类似性能的同时,能量降低了 27.5%。

考虑热塑性烯烃和聚丙烯的应变率和随温度变化的机械特性,提高安全气囊展开模拟的精度
Airbags are essential automotive components that protect occupants from collisions. Airbag covers made of thermoplastic olefin (TPO) material should be deployed quickly without debris under various environments. To accurately predict airbag deployment during a collision, the mechanical properties of polymer materials at high strain rates according to temperature should be considered. In this study, a quasi-static test in the range of 0.0083, 0.0083 s−1 and a medium strain rate tensile test were performed at strain rates of 1, 10, and 100 s−1. Additionally, a split-Hopkinson Pressure bar test was performed to conduct a high strain rate tensile test at 1000, 1500, and 2000 s−1. Through this, tensile strength and failure strain were derived for each strain rate. As the polymer phase moves toward the high strain rate region, the β-transition becomes dominant, resulting in a non-linear increase in tensile strength in the Eyring plot. Based on the strain rate dependent mechanical behavior, an airbag module impact simulation was conducted to verify the effects of strain rate on airbag deployment using the LS-DYNA software. The airbag deployment analysis results showed deployment angle results similar to the actual experiment when strain rate dependent mechanical properties were applied. This is because higher strength was applied at high strain rates compared to low strain rates. Therefore, strain rate dependent mechanical properties are essential in high strain rate simulation such as collision analysis.
安全气囊是保护乘员免受碰撞的重要汽车部件。由热塑性烯烃(TPO)材料制成的安全气囊盖应能在各种环境下快速展开而不产生碎片。为了准确预测碰撞过程中安全气囊的展开情况,应考虑聚合物材料在高应变率下随温度变化的机械特性。在这项研究中,进行了 0.0083、0.0083 s-1 范围内的准静态测试,以及应变速率为 1、10 和 100 s-1 的中等应变速率拉伸测试。此外,还进行了分裂霍普金森压力棒试验,以 1000、1500 和 2000 s-1 的应变速率进行高应变速率拉伸试验。由此得出了每种应变速率下的拉伸强度和破坏应变。随着聚合物相向高应变率区域移动,β 转变成为主导,从而导致艾林图中拉伸强度的非线性增加。根据应变率相关力学行为,使用 LS-DYNA 软件进行了安全气囊模块冲击模拟,以验证应变率对安全气囊展开的影响。安全气囊展开分析结果表明,当应用应变速率相关机械特性时,展开角度结果与实际实验结果相似。这是因为与低应变速率相比,高应变速率下的强度更高。因此,应变速率相关机械特性在碰撞分析等高应变速率模拟中至关重要。

回收 CF-ABS 加工废料,用于大幅面增材制造
Large format additive manufacturing (LFAM) necessitates the use of short fiber thermoplastic composites, such as carbon fiber filled acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, to enable printing. Currently, when LFAM parts are machined into their final shape, the machining scrap (i.e., small flake like particles and offcuts) is landfilled. Previous studies have demonstrated the viability of recycling end-of-life LFAM parts by shredding and optionally re-compounding the material back into pellets. However, there is little understanding of the value and performance of recycled material made from LFAM machining scrap, which if pursued could motivate more broad recycling of this waste stream. In this study, recycled in-process machining scrap is explored as an LFAM feedstock source. Herein, it is found that the primary degradation mechanism of the recycled material is significant fiber length attrition during surface machining. While this fiber attrition negatively impacts the mechanical performance of the material in the print direction, it seems that the changes in processing behaviors and print quality, namely the surface roughness of the printed structure associated with shorter fiber lengths, is beneficial to interlayer adhesion. The tensile strength and elastic modulus of the recycled material, in the print direction, decreased 11% and 31% respectively compared to the pristine material. However, in the layer-wise direction it was found that the recycled material exhibited no significant change in elastic modulus and a significant 21% increase in tensile strength – a surprising result. This work indicates that machining waste could be a viable material stream for recycled LFAM feedstock materials.
大幅面增材制造(LFAM)需要使用短纤维热塑性复合材料(如填充丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯的碳纤维)来实现打印。目前,当 LFAM 零件被加工成最终形状时,加工废料(即小片状颗粒和下脚料)会被填埋。以前的研究已经证明,通过粉碎和选择性地将材料重新复合成颗粒,回收利用报废的 LFAM 部件是可行的。然而,人们对用 LFAM 加工废料制成的回收材料的价值和性能了解甚少,而如果能对其进行研究,就能推动对这一废物流进行更广泛的回收利用。本研究将回收的加工过程中产生的废料作为 LFAM 原料来源进行了探讨。研究发现,回收材料的主要降解机制是表面加工过程中纤维长度的显著损耗。虽然这种纤维损耗会对材料在印刷方向上的机械性能产生负面影响,但加工行为和印刷质量的变化,即与较短纤维长度相关的印刷结构表面粗糙度,似乎有利于层间粘合。与原始材料相比,再生材料在印刷方向上的拉伸强度和弹性模量分别降低了 11% 和 31%。然而,在层间方向上,回收材料的弹性模量没有明显变化,而拉伸强度却显著增加了 21%--这是一个令人惊讶的结果。这项研究表明,机加工废料可以作为再生 LFAM 原料的可行材料流。
