多形态晶格结构固有频率最大化的多尺度拓扑优化框架
This paper proposes a multiscale topology optimization framework for maximizing the natural frequency of multi-morphology lattice structures (MMLSs). The proposed framework addresses the challenges of computational efficiency, design space, numerical convergence, and compatibility between adjacent microstructures in multiscale topology optimization for natural frequency problems. The macrostructural topology, the morphologies categories, distribution regions, volume fractions of different lattice materials (LMs), and the relative densities of lattice unit cells (LUCs) are simultaneously optimized to enhance the structural natural frequency. Specifically, level set functions are utilized to generate prototype LUCs, enabling obtaining graded LUCs by configuration interpolation. Multi-morphology LUCs with smooth characteristics are achieved using the Kriging-assisted morphological post-process and sigmoid function (SF) based hybrid transition strategy. Kriging metamodel-assisted Uniform Multiphase Materials Interpolation (KUMMI) schemes are constructed for the mechanical properties estimation of macro elements to evolute the multiscale topology optimization procedure. Distinct processing methods for elasticity tensor and density are incorporated within the KUMMI schemes, by which the local mode problem is also avoided. The objective order natural frequency is accurately optimized with the modal assurance criterion (MAC) based mode-tracking technique. Numerical examples demonstrate that the developed design framework can efficiently maximize the natural frequency of MMLSs, while also ensuring microstructural connectivity.
This study aims to investigate the self-healing capability of a composite laminate composed of novel bio-based benzoxazine vitrimers when subjected to delamination-healing cycles. The composite laminate is manufactured using compression resin transfer moulding. To quantify the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and induced damage, three-point bending tests were conducted on short-beam shear specimens. The healing of interfacial damages was achieved by applying pressure (1 MPa) at 170 °C. Three healing experiments were performed with different thermal cycling durations: 1, 10, and 60 minutes. The extent of interfacial healing was evaluated through four repetitions of delamination-healing cycles. Despite a gradual decrease in ILSS values with each cycle, the specimens subjected to a 60-minute healing process exhibit remarkable recovery. After three cycles, 80 % of the ILSS is restored, highlighting the highly efficient healing capability of the vitrimer-based composite.

拉挤纤维-聚合物腹板法兰连接处多裂纹损伤新方法
This paper aims to propose a novel approach to assess the multi-crack behavior of layered fiber-polymer composites. The Compliance and R-curves generated from this novel approach were useful to understand the multiple delamination process, enabling to evaluate separately the strain energy release rate (SERR) related to each crack. A cohesive zone model was developed to simulate the failure process zone of three parallel cracks in web-flange junction (WFJ) specimens extracted from a pultruded bridge deck system subjected to transverse bending. The fracture parameters estimated based on the proposed approach led to a good agreement between the numerical model and the experiments in terms of load vs. displacement curves. Moreover, it was possible to observe that the formation of new cracks may lead to a significant drop on the R-curve, due to the closure of the former cracks.
Hybridization of cellulose nanocrystals modified ZnO nanoparticles with bio-based hyperbranched waterborne polyurethane sizing agent for superior UV resistance and interfacial properties of CF/PA6 composites

The interface of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced composites has been a long challenging issue that restricts the full utilization of its excellent properties in industrial applications. In present work, a green solvent γ-valerolactone and biogenetic derived gallic acid and tartaric acid were used to prepare a hyperbranched waterborne polyurethane (HWPU) sizing agent. Meanwhile, cellulose nanocrystal modified zinc oxide (CNC–ZnO) nanohybrids were successfully synthesized using a facile one-pot method to improve the dispersibility and specific surface area of ZnO nanoparticles. The hybridization of CNC–ZnO substantially enhanced the thermostability and UV resistance of bio-based HWPU. The mechanical properties of the modified composites were thoroughly examined, revealing remarkable enhancements in flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength, with improvements of 46.5 % and 48.1 % compared to pristine CF. Additionally, the interfacial shear strength test demonstrated a significant increase of 63.6 %. Remarkably, the modified carbon fiber composites retained more than 97 % of their mechanical properties after being subjected to continuous xenon irradiation for a week, highlighting the exceptional ultroviolet resistance derived from the hybrid HWPU sizing agent.
