通过热分析和机器学习重建玻璃/环氧复合材料的疲劳损伤:理论研究
This study introduces an advanced, non-contact diagnostic tool for structural health monitoring of fatigue damage in fiber/polymer composite materials. The approach combines thermal image recognition of fatigue self-heating hotspots with high-fidelity thermal modeling to quantitatively assess subsurface fatigue damage distributions by machine learning. To this end, artificial thermal images are generated through 3D numerical thermal analysis of an inherent fatigue damage heat source within a glass/epoxy composite, derived from sampling a multivariate Gaussian distribution of microcracks. Subsequently, these synthetic thermal images are employed to train three distinct regression models: a convolutional neural network, a Gaussian processes regressor, and a straightforward least squares model. Various image augmentation techniques are applied to expand the dataset efficiently. All models accurately predict the size of the damage and - most importantly - the maximum temperature within the damage deep inside the composite. The regression methods estimate the diagonal elements of covariance matrix components of the Gaussian distribution, with accuracies ranging from 86% to 99%. The findings presented in this work contribute to establishing a solid foundation for non-destructive subsurface fatigue damage assessment in composite materials, with many practical applications in experimental composites fatigue research.

基于等效法的海洋工程冲击荷载下保护蜂窝的实验和有限元分析
Aiming at reducing damage between ship berthing and high-pressure vessels, the protective honeycomb filled with Roller Arrowhead Wings Honeycomb (RAWH) was constructed based on equivalent method. A novel Double Arrowhead Wings Honeycomb (DAWH), inspired by Tilia Platyphylloswas, was proposed for arrangement in RAWH. The analytical models were derived with size factor n for honeycomb selection and design. The mechanical properties, energy absorption, compression response, structure efficiency, and deformation mode of RAWH were investigated by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Experiment (EXP), comparing with Roller Hexagonal Honeycomb (RHH), Roller Re-entrant Honeycomb (RRH), and Roller Solid. With particular calculation methods, the work energy absorption, engineering strain, and engineering stress were obtained within acceptable error compared to finite element analysis. The contact force of RAWH exceeded RHH, RRH and Solid about 1.7, 5 , and 0.32 times, with a maximum of 15000 N. Further, the deformation modes of RAWH were discussed and recorded with “V” mode and “U” mode appearing special characteristics of enhancement and resilience. The equivalent Poisson’s ratios for protective honeycombs were studied and described in the Morgan-Mercer-Flodin (MMF) growth model with the phenomena of “Step Fluctuation”, “Inter-layer Progression” and “Step Stability”. These results, methods, and discussions might bring significance for reducing damage from collisions in ocean engineering.
为了减少船舶停泊和高压船舶之间的损害,根据等效方法建造了填充有滚动箭翼蜂窝(RAWH)的保护蜂窝。受椴树(Tilia Platyphylloswas)的启发,提出了一种新型双箭头蜂窝(DAWH),用于在 RAWH 中布置。在蜂窝的选择和设计中,利用尺寸系数 n 得出了分析模型。通过有限元分析(FEA)和实验(EXP)研究了 RAWH 的力学性能、能量吸收、压缩响应、结构效率和变形模式,并与滚筒六角蜂窝(RHH)、滚筒再入蜂窝(RRH)和滚筒实心进行了比较。与有限元分析相比,采用特定计算方法得出的功耗吸收、工程应变和工程应力误差在可接受范围内。此外,还讨论并记录了 RAWH 的变形模式,其中 "V "模式和 "U "模式具有增强和回弹的特点。研究了保护性蜂窝的等效泊松比,并在摩根-默塞尔-弗洛丁(MMF)生长模型中描述了 "阶跃波动"、"层间渐进 "和 "阶跃稳定 "现象。这些结果、方法和讨论可能对减少海洋工程中的碰撞损害具有重要意义。

表征编织复合材料在轴向和非轴向加载条件下的压缩破坏机理及其转变过程
The compressive failure of fiber-reinforced composites is complex, occurring via multiple mechanisms depending on the loading angle with the fiber directions. This work is aimed at the detailed characterization and understanding of this dependence in a 2 × 2 epoxy/carbon twill woven composite. Reported are the results of a variety of on-axis and off-axis compressive tests with loading angles ranging from 0°to 45°, carried out as per ASTM standards. The tests show that for angles from 0°to 10°, no appreciable change in compressive strength occurs. Failure in the load aligned tows is dominated by out of plane brittle shear failure and out of plane fiber kinking. The behavior is very brittle, consisting of a sharp peak load immediately dropping to a non-zero residual stress plateau. Extensive micro-cracking in the transverse tow is also observed. Between 10°and 25°many transitions occur, including increased ductility, pre-peak non-linearity, increasing width of the out-of-plane fiber kink band, more gradual post-peak load decrease, and an increase in the residual stress. The lowest strength occurs at 45°where the behavior is completely ductile and failure occurs by in-plane fiber kink band formation. A correlation between the in-plane shear stress and kink band width appears to exist. The maximum stress based strength envelope theory captures this loading angle dependence of strength. The findings are crucial for designing multi-directional woven composite laminates subjected to compressive loading, and for the validation of computational models.
纤维增强复合材料的压缩失效过程十分复杂,根据加载角度与纤维方向的不同,会出现多种失效机制。这项研究旨在详细描述和理解 2 × 2 环氧树脂/碳斜纹编织复合材料的这种依赖性。报告根据 ASTM 标准,在加载角度为 0° 至 45° 的范围内进行了各种轴上和轴下压缩试验。试验结果表明,在 0° 至 10° 的角度范围内,抗压强度没有明显变化。负载对齐纤维束的破坏主要是平面外脆剪破坏和平面外纤维扭结。这种行为非常脆,包括一个急剧的峰值载荷,然后立即下降到一个非零残余应力平台。横向纤维束中也出现了广泛的微裂纹。在 10° 和 25° 之间出现了许多转变,包括延展性增加、峰值前非线性、平面外纤维扭结带宽度增加、峰值后载荷下降更渐进以及残余应力增加。在 45° 处强度最低,其行为完全是延展性的,通过面内纤维扭结带的形成而发生破坏。面内剪切应力与扭结带宽度之间似乎存在相关性。基于最大应力的强度包络理论捕捉到了强度的这种加载角度依赖性。这些发现对于设计承受压缩载荷的多向编织复合材料层压板以及验证计算模型至关重要。

用于夹层复合板屈曲分析的可变运动学有限板元素
This paper extends sublaminate-based variable kinematics plate finite elements towards the buckling analysis of composite structures. Robust locking-free 4-node and 8-node interpolations are used to build the finite element matrices in terms of fundamental nuclei, invariant with respect to the employed kinematic model of the composite plate. Geometric nonlinearities are accounted for in the von Kármán sense. The classical linearised stability analysis is mainly conducted for sandwich panels, for which different kinematic assumptions are employed for the skins and the core. Global buckling of the sandwich panel as well as short-wavelength wrinkling of the skins are investigated by referring to a variety of case studies, including homogeneous and laminated skins as well as isotropic and orthotropic cores. Convergence studies are performed to establish the minimum number of elements for the local instabilities to be grasped. The proposed computational framework requires a simple 2D mesh and is capable of providing quasi-3D response patterns. This is as demonstrated by numerous case studies that address the transition from global to local buckling, the onset of wrinkling in flat sandwich panels with anisotropic skins under various loading conditions as well as the local face sheet instability occurring in sandwich panels working in bending. It is concluded that he proposed FEM-based tool is computationally efficient and can be advantageously employed in pre-sizing design phases without resorting to full 3D models.
本文将基于子层状可变运动学的板有限元扩展到复合材料结构的屈曲分析。使用稳健的无锁定 4 节点和 8 节点插值来构建基本核的有限元矩阵,该矩阵与所使用的复合板运动学模型无关。在 von Kármán 意义上考虑了几何非线性因素。经典的线性化稳定性分析主要是针对夹芯板进行的,对表皮和夹芯采用了不同的运动学假设。通过参考各种案例研究,包括均质和层状表皮以及各向同性和正交各向异性夹芯,对夹芯板的整体屈曲以及表皮的短波起皱进行了研究。通过收敛性研究,确定了把握局部不稳定性的最小元素数量。所提出的计算框架只需简单的二维网格,就能提供准三维响应模式。大量案例研究证明了这一点,这些案例研究涉及从整体屈曲到局部屈曲的过渡、各向异性表皮的平面夹层板在各种加载条件下开始起皱以及夹层板在弯曲状态下发生的局部面片不稳定性。最后得出的结论是,基于有限元的工具计算效率高,可在尺寸预设设计阶段发挥优势,而无需求助于完整的三维模型。

克服剪切破坏的脆性:FRP-RSC 加固新理念
Due to the linear elastic stress-strain behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP), the ductility of CFRP shear-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams will be significantly reduced. Compared with shear capacity enhancement, increasing the ductility of CFRP shear-strengthened RC members is a much more challenging task, and a satisfactory solution has yet to be found. This paper introduces a new methodology that combines the brittle fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) with ductile rubber support composite (RSC) to form the FRP-RSC strengthening system. The variable stiffness RSC can adjust the stiffness of the strengthening system, which is achieved by the changed shear transfer actions in FRP, transverse reinforcement and concrete. Eight specimens were tested to evaluate the effectiveness of the FRP-RSC strengthening method. Experimental tests demonstrated that the displacement ductility with this FRP-RSC technique was 2.15 times that of the conventional externally bonded (EB) FRP strengthening, reaching remarkably 5.24. The mechanisms for enhancements in ductility, deformability and shear capacity were revealed. Poor matches were observed between the predicted FRP shear strength contribution (Vf) per existing models and test data. A new model that can predict Vf of FRP-RSC strengthened RC beams was developed, and better agreements between predictions and experimental results were obtained.
由于碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)的线性弹性应力-应变行为,CFRP 剪力加固钢筋混凝土(RC)梁的延性将显著降低。与提高抗剪能力相比,提高 CFRP 剪力加固钢筋混凝土构件的延性是一项更具挑战性的任务,目前尚未找到令人满意的解决方案。本文介绍了一种新方法,它将脆性纤维增强聚合物(FRP)与延性橡胶支撑复合材料(RSC)相结合,形成 FRP-RSC 加固系统。可变刚度 RSC 可以调节加固系统的刚度,通过改变 FRP、横向钢筋和混凝土中的剪切传递作用来实现。为评估 FRP-RSC 加固方法的效果,对八个试件进行了测试。实验证明,FRP-RSC 技术的位移延性是传统外部粘结(EB)FRP 加固技术的 2.15 倍,达到了显著的 5.24 倍。实验还揭示了延展性、变形性和剪切能力的增强机制。根据现有模型预测的玻璃钢剪切强度贡献率(Vf)与试验数据之间的匹配度较低。开发了一种可预测 FRP-RSC 加固 RC 梁 Vf 的新模型,并获得了预测与试验结果之间更好的一致性。

复合异构格栅环形壳:应用于航天器反射阵列天线的承载边缘
A novel design of the composite transformable/foldable rim of the spacecraft reflectarray antenna is presented in the paper. The rim is made in the form of anisogrid lattice toroidal shell split into six parts that are jointed using hinges containing helical springs. The springs create the moments required to deploy the antenna in orbit. A dielectric flexible flat membrane with reflective radiating elements generating a radio signal with required directivity is stretched on the rim. An algorithm of the finite-element model generation is developed for the toroidal rim using a typical finite-element unit cell of lattice structure. The lattice toroidal shell is modelled as a three-dimensional frame composed of curvilinear ribs. The results of design analysis of the lattice rim delivering a minimal mass to its structure subject to constraints imposed on the fundamental frequency, values of stress, and the buckling load factor are presented in this work. The corresponding set of design parameters of lattice structure, including the angle of orientation of helical ribs, number of helical ribs of one orientation, and size of the ribs’ cross section are identified based on these results.

预测复合材料热机械响应的深度材料网络方法
Recent progress combining micromechanics and machine learning holds promise for accurately and rapidly predicting the mechanical behavior of complex composite materials. This study extends the Deep Material Network (DMN), a binary-tree network trained on linear direct-numerical-simulation data, to predict the thermo-elasto-viscoplastic behavior of composites. This extension incorporates the thermal expansion properties homogenization into the network’s building blocks and expands the online formulation to consider thermal boundary conditions. By comparing various implementations of these building blocks, we demonstrate the network’s extrapolation to thermomechanical problems. We then show how this extended DMN can be applied to uncertainty quantification and inverse design problems.

通过多步共聚,定制富含柔性片段的树脂网络结构,改进质子交换膜燃料电池的复合双极板
Composite bipolar plates composed of conductivity fillers and resins are widely employed in stationary proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) due to their high corrosion resistance in acidic environments. Phenol-formaldehyde resin is a commonly used adhesive in composite bipolar plates; while numerous benzene rings in phenol-formaldehyde resin result in the poor flexibility of composite bipolar plates. Embedding the flexible segment (–CHOH–CH2-O-) in the resin network structure of phenol-formaldehyde resin by copolymerization with epoxy resin is an effective method for improving the defects of phenol-formaldehyde resin. In this contribution, to tailor flexible-segment-rich (–CHOH–CH2-O-) resin network structure, the co-polymerization mechanism of phenol-formaldehyde resin and epoxy resin is investigated in detailed by in-situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), based on which an Alter-T strategy is proposed for flexible-segment-rich (–CHOH–CH2-O-) resin network structure during composite bipolar plates fabrication process. The obtained composite bipolar plates consisted of graphite and flexible-segment-rich resin network structure delivers improved flexural strength (86.97 MPa), electrical conductivity (203.22 S cm−1) and areal resistance (3.41 mΩ cm2) in comparison to previously reported composite bipolar plates with same components, which are also over the technical standard of the DOE. It is further demonstrated that enriching the flexible segment for improving the poor flexibility of resin network structure is of great importance to enhance the performance of the composite bipolar plates.
由导电填料和树脂组成的复合双极板因其在酸性环境中的高耐腐蚀性而被广泛应用于固定式质子交换膜燃料电池(PEMFC)。苯酚-甲醛树脂是复合双极板中常用的粘合剂,但苯酚-甲醛树脂中含有大量苯环,导致复合双极板的柔韧性较差。通过与环氧树脂共聚,在酚醛树脂的树脂网络结构中嵌入柔性段(-CHOH-CH2-O-)是改善酚醛树脂缺陷的有效方法。为定制富含柔性段(-CHOH-CH2-O-)的树脂网络结构,本文通过原位傅立叶变换红外光谱(FTIR)详细研究了酚醛树脂与环氧树脂的共聚机理,并在此基础上提出了在复合双极板制造过程中实现富含柔性段(-CHOH-CH2-O-)树脂网络结构的 Alter-T 策略。与之前报道的相同成分的复合双极板相比,所获得的由石墨和富柔性段树脂网络结构组成的复合双极板的抗弯强度(86.97 MPa)、导电率(203.22 S cm-1)和电阻率(3.41 mΩ cm2)均有所提高,且均超过了 DOE 的技术标准。研究进一步证明,增加柔性段以改善树脂网络结构柔性差的问题,对提高复合双极板的性能具有重要意义。
