基于结构化和平面界面定义的3D打印复合材料部件单搭接(SLJ)断裂评估:实验和数值研究
Additive Layer Manufacturing introduces a new paradigm in terms of interface design, allowing for the reproduction of nature-inspired geometrical patterns. The present investigation employs Fused Deposition Modelling including glass reinforcement materials to manufacture single lap bonded joint (SLJ) specimens including flat and structured interfaces. Four different configuration patterns were fabricated, tested and numerically simulated in order to evaluate the impact of the structured interface on the quasi-static tensile failure of the bonded joints. Numerical FE-based simulations using Cohesive Zone Models along the adhesive layer were performed in order to analyze the stress distribution and the crack progression along the overlap. Current results pinpoint that the incorporation of a structured interface including continuous fibres at the interface region increases the shear strength over 27% in comparison with standard flat interface definitions and delays the initiation and complete joint failure. Both computational and experimental results confirm that SLJs with tooth-shaped (structured) interfaces enhance the structural strength and retard debonding.

应力集中陶瓷基复合材料结构的宏微观综合建模与分析方法
Ceramic matrix composite (CMC) structures with different stress concentration levels were initially analyzed based on micro and macro models, and simulation differences, primarily attributable to excessive macro-element reduction after failure, were revealed. This verifies the necessity of micro-modeling CMC structures with stress concentrations. Therefore, a simplified macro–micro integrated modeling and analysis method, combining the efficiency of macro models with the accuracy of micro models, is proposed to reflect damage mechanisms. The rationality of this method for CMC structures with stress concentrations was preliminarily verified through comparison with full micromodel simulations. Additionally, the effects of several factors, such as grid division method, transition position between the micro and macro models, and micro-model size, on the simulation results were analyzed. Furthermore, a micro model of a plate without a hole was established based on X-ray computed tomography (XCT) slices of SiC/SiC woven braided CMCs, and the predicted tensile curve was experimentally verified, confirming the consistency of the material parameters between the micro and macro models. On this basis, a macro–micro integrated model of a plate with a hole was established, and the predicted tensile curve and fracture were verified by experiments, further proving the feasibility of the proposed method.
基于微观和宏观模型对不同应力集中水平的陶瓷基复合材料(CMC)结构进行了初步分析,揭示了破坏后宏观元素减少过多导致的模拟差异。这验证了考虑应力集中的CMC结构微观建模的必要性。因此,提出了一种简化的宏观-微观一体化建模分析方法,将宏观模型的效率与微观模型的精度相结合,以反映损伤机理。通过与全微模型模拟的对比,初步验证了该方法对具有应力集中的CMC结构的合理性。此外,还分析了网格划分方法、微观模型与宏观模型之间的过渡位置、微观模型尺寸等因素对模拟结果的影响。此外,基于SiC/SiC编织cmc的x射线计算机断层扫描(XCT)切片,建立了无孔板的微观模型,并对预测的拉伸曲线进行了实验验证,证实了微观模型与宏观模型之间材料参数的一致性。在此基础上,建立了带孔板的宏观-微观一体化模型,并通过实验验证了预测的拉伸曲线和断裂,进一步证明了所提方法的可行性。

线性粘弹性复合材料的IGABEM均匀化
In this paper, we propose an isogeometric boundary element method for the homogenization of linear viscoelastic composites. We extend the simple-domain boundary element method, originally designed for elastic composites, to linear viscoelastic composite. To reduce computational cost, the multi-domain-based simple-domain boundary element method is also presented. Based on a simple homogenization strategy, we use the Prony series to approximate the macroscopic effective relaxation tensor. The isogeometric boundary element method is particularly suitable for homogenization because it has the advantages of boundary-only discretization, easy implementation of periodic boundary conditions, exact geometric representations, and high-order continuity. The performance of the proposed method is demonstrated through 2D and 3D numerical examples.

3D打印连续碳纤维增强复合材料的仿真分析与优化
Recently published research focused on the interlayer bonding properties of 3D printed continuous carbon fiber (CCF) reinforced composites (CCFRCs). However, existing tests were limited and insufficient to accurately characterize delamination evolution in these composites. This study aimed to simulate the peeling behavior of 3D printed CCFRCs under various printing parameters. Results showed that the mechanical properties of printed composites depended on the presence and distribution of CCF within the CCFRCs. The maximum load-bearing capacity of the CCF layer in CCFRCs was approximately 20 times that of the matrix layer. Moreover, heat treatment effectively enhanced the interlayer properties of CCFRCs. After heat treatment, the average peeling strength of CCFRCs increased by 10.17 % to 16.10 %. Based on the simulation results, the specimen’s parameters were optimized, followed by heat treatment of the optimized specimen. Compared with the specimen reinforced with concentrated CCF layers, the optimized specimen exhibited maximum increases of 70.71 %, 59.96 %, and 115.78 % in flexural strength, flexural modulus, and energy absorption, respectively. This work intended to serve as a reference for the interfacial properties, processing control, and scalability of 3D printed composites. Besides, these insights had significant potential for customizing high-performance 3D printed composite parts in the aerospace, automotive, and biomedical sectors.
最近发表的研究主要集中在3D打印连续碳纤维(CCF)增强复合材料(CCFRCs)的层间粘合性能上。然而,现有的测试是有限的,不足以准确表征这些复合材料中的分层演变。本研究旨在模拟3D打印CCFRCs在不同打印参数下的剥离行为。结果表明,印刷复合材料的力学性能取决于CCF在CCFRCs中的存在和分布。CCFRCs中CCF层的最大承载能力约为基体层的20倍。此外,热处理有效地提高了CCFRCs的层间性能。热处理后,CCFRCs的平均剥离强度提高了10.17 % ~ 16.10 %。根据模拟结果对试件参数进行优化,并对优化后的试件进行热处理。优化后的试件抗弯强度、抗弯模量和能量吸收分别比浓缩CCF层增强70.71 %、59.96 %和115.78 %最大。这项工作旨在为3D打印复合材料的界面特性、加工控制和可扩展性提供参考。此外,这些见解在航空航天、汽车和生物医学领域定制高性能3D打印复合材料部件方面具有巨大潜力。

复合材料结构单面贴片修复中抑制脱粘的不对称堆积贴片
With the increasing use of composite structures, a simple and effective repair method is needed to enhance operational efficiency. While conventional single-sided patch repairs are straightforward, they are prone to debonding due to secondary bending deformation, leading to low post-repair strength. This study proposes a single-sided patch with an asymmetric lay-up designed to suppress debonding by utilizing coupled tensile-bending deformation. The stacking sequence of the patches was optimized using a genetic algorithm to minimize the adhesive’s expansion strain energy density. The optimal stacking sequence generates bending deformation with curvature opposite to the secondary bending observed under tensile loading in a patch-repaired plate. This discrepancy in bending deformation alleviates the hydrostatic stress in the adhesive at the patch edges and reduces the contribution of Mode I to patch debonding. Tensile tests using optimized patches demonstrated the debonding suppression mechanism, showing that the onset strain for debonding improved due to material failure occurring in the base CFRP laminate
随着复合材料结构使用的增加,需要一种简单有效的修复方法来提高操作效率。虽然传统的单面贴片修复很简单,但由于二次弯曲变形,它们容易脱落,导致修复后强度低。本研究提出了一种单面贴片,其不对称铺设旨在通过利用耦合拉伸弯曲变形来抑制脱粘。采用遗传算法优化贴片的堆叠顺序,使胶粘剂的膨胀应变能密度最小。最优叠加顺序产生的弯曲变形,曲率与补片修复板在拉伸载荷下观察到的二次弯曲相反。这种弯曲变形的差异减轻了贴片边缘黏合剂中的静水应力,降低了I型对贴片脱粘的贡献。使用优化贴片的拉伸试验证明了剥离抑制机制,表明由于基材CFRP层压板发生材料失效,剥离的起始应变得到改善

缠绕FRP格栅螺旋箍筋约束圆形混凝土柱抗压性能试验与数值研究
Currently, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) is commonly used as main reinforcement as well as stirrups. Especially in a column, conventional pultruded FRP rod spiral reinforcement is limited by the bending radius and is prone to premature bond failure between FRP spiral and concrete, resulting in inefficient concrete confinement. An automated winding of a novel grid spiral stirrup was proposed to overcome these drawbacks. In this paper, axial compression tests were carried out on FRP grid spiral stirrup confined concrete columns (FGSCC). The effects of key parameters (stirrup width-to-thickness ratio, stirrup type, and stirrup spacing) on the compressive behavior of FGSCC were mainly investigated. The ultimate axial load and ultimate axial strain for the specimen with 50 mm stirrup spacing was almost two times that of the specimen with 150 mm stirrup spacing. In addition, a numerical model was established using ABAQUS. The model adopted a modified concrete damage plastic model (CDPM), and the dilation angle to circumferential pressure relation equation applicable to the FGSCC model was proposed. The existing confined concrete stress–strain model was modified based on experimental results. The results of the parametric analysis showed that the increase in concrete strength substantially increased the ultimate axial load of the FGSCC, while the ultimate axial strain was reduced. The ultimate axial load of FGSCC was increased by 7.3 % when the concrete strength was increased from 31 MPa to 51 MPa. The cross-section area of grid spiral stirrup had a great effect on the compressive properties of FGSCC. When the cross-sectional area of the FRP grid spiral stirrup was increased from 27 mm2 to 75 mm2, the ultimate axial load increased by 75.3 % and the ultimate axial strain increased by 26.1 %.
目前,纤维增强聚合物(FRP)常用作主筋和马镫。特别是在柱状结构中,常规的FRP筋螺旋加固受弯曲半径的限制,容易导致FRP筋螺旋与混凝土粘结过早破坏,导致混凝土约束效果不佳。为了克服这些缺点,提出了一种新型网格螺旋箍条的自动缠绕方法。本文对FRP网格螺旋箍筋约束混凝土柱(FGSCC)进行了轴压试验。重点研究了关键参数(箍筋宽厚比、箍筋类型、箍筋间距)对FGSCC抗压性能的影响。箍筋间距为50 mm时的极限轴向载荷和极限轴向应变几乎是箍筋间距为150 mm时的两倍。此外,利用ABAQUS建立了数值模型。模型采用了一种修正的混凝土损伤塑性模型(CDPM),提出了适用于FGSCC模型的膨胀角-周向压力关系方程。根据试验结果,对现有约束混凝土应力-应变模型进行了修正。参数分析结果表明,混凝土强度的增加显著提高了FGSCC的极限轴向载荷,而极限轴向应变降低。当混凝土强度从31 MPa提高到51 MPa时,FGSCC的极限轴向荷载提高了7.3 %。网格螺旋箍条的横截面积对FGSCC的抗压性能有很大影响。当FRP格栅螺旋箍筋截面积由27 mm2增加到75 mm2时,轴向极限载荷增加了75.3 %,轴向极限应变增加了26.1 %。

在聚酰亚胺上同时具有原子氧保护和静电放电性能的石墨烯包裹Mg-Al层状双氢氧化物纳米片涂层
Resistance to atomic oxygen (AO) and electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a critical property of polymers such as polyimide (PI), essential for ensuring the long-term service of spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO). Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) coatings exhibit excellent flexibility and AO protection properties due to their packed layer structure and inherent AO stability. However, the poor electroconductibility of LDHs inevitably leads to ESD failures, limiting their practical lifespan. In this study, we composited reduced graphene oxide (rGO) with LDHs nanosheets, creating conductive laminated heterostructures. This coating demonstrated a reduced resistance of 1.17 × 107 Ω/sq, effectively meeting the requirements for ESD protection. Moreover, it showed outstanding comprehensive properties, including exceptional AO protection performance (an erosion yield of 1.0 × 10−25 cm3/atom under 4.35 × 1020 atoms/cm2), good flexibility and adhesion. This proposed strategy offers a solution for enhancing the conductivity of flexible inorganic coatings, and expands the potential applications in AO resistance and other areas.
抗原子氧(AO)和静电放电(ESD)是聚酰亚胺(PI)等聚合物的关键性能,对于确保航天器在低地球轨道(LEO)上的长期服务至关重要。层状双氢氧化物(LDHs)涂层由于其填充层结构和固有的AO稳定性而具有优异的柔韧性和AO保护性能。然而,ldh的导电性差不可避免地导致ESD故障,限制了它们的实际使用寿命。在这项研究中,我们将还原氧化石墨烯(rGO)与LDHs纳米片复合,形成导电层状异质结构。该涂层的电阻降低了1.17 × 107 Ω/sq,有效满足ESD防护要求。此外,它还表现出出色的综合性能,包括卓越的AO保护性能(在4.35 × 1020 原子/cm2下,侵蚀产率为1.0 × 10−25 cm3/原子),良好的柔韧性和附着力。该策略为提高柔性无机涂层的导电性提供了一种解决方案,并扩大了在耐AO和其他领域的潜在应用。

风机报废叶片机械回收成钢筋的环境经济评价及与常规处理方式的比较
As the decommissioning of wind turbine blades begins, managing thermoset glass fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) waste from end-of-life blades presents a critical challenge. This study evaluates four disposal methods for blade waste—landfill, incineration, co-processing, and mechanical recycling—using life cycle assessments to identify the most sustainable option. Unlike conventional GFRP grinding into short fibres and fine powders, the recycling method in this study repurposes blade waste into high-aspect-ratio recyclates to substitute virgin GFRP rebars, thereby preserving the composite integrity and simultaneously adding value to GFRP mechanical recycling. Results reveal that mechanical recycling could offer notable technical, environmental, and economic advantages upon industrialization. Specifically, 1 kg of recycled GFRP rebars can effectively replace 0.98 kg of virgin GFRP rebars. At a processing scale of 100 kg/h, recycling 1 kg of GFRP waste could notably avoid about 2.4 kg of CO2 emissions, and if considering revenues from the sale of recycled rebar (priced at 2€/kg), the recycling fee could drop to 0.15€/kg. This cost is lower than gates fees for landfilling, incineration, and cement kiln routes (∼0.2€/kg), which would incentivize a shift from landfilling or incineration toward repurposing, thus fostering sustainable resource utilization and advancing the circular economy potential of decommissioned turbine blades.
随着风力涡轮机叶片退役的开始,处理报废叶片中的热固性玻璃纤维增强聚合物(GFRP)废弃物是一项重大挑战。本研究评估了四种叶片废弃物的处理方法——填埋、焚烧、协同处理和机械回收——使用生命周期评估来确定最可持续的选择。与传统的GFRP研磨成短纤维和细粉不同,本研究的回收方法将叶片废料重新加工成高纵横比的回收物,替代原GFRP筋,既保持了复合材料的完整性,又增加了GFRP机械回收的价值。结果表明,机械回收在产业化后具有显著的技术、环境和经济优势。具体来说,1 公斤的再生GFRP筋可以有效地替代0.98 公斤的原生GFRP筋。在100 kg/h的处理规模下,回收1 kg的GFRP废料可显著减少约2.4 kg的二氧化碳排放,如果考虑到回收钢筋的销售收入(定价为2€/kg),回收费用可降至0.15€/kg。这一成本低于填埋、焚烧和水泥窑路线的门槛费用(~ 0.2欧元/公斤),这将激励从填埋或焚烧转向重新利用,从而促进资源的可持续利用,并提高退役涡轮叶片的循环经济潜力。

钛酸锶钡改性聚丙烯和硅橡胶的绝缘性能及界面电荷积累性能
The conductivity mismatch between the silicone rubber insulation (SiR) and the main insulation in the high-voltage cable accessory is an important reason of charge accumulation at the interface. The interfacial charge accumulation can cause electric field distortions, which leads to cable system failures. In this work, the high dielectric barium strontium titanate (BST) particles are used to modify SiR. The dielectric and conductive properties of BST/SiR and polypropylene (PP) materials are tested, and the interfacial charge accumulation properties of PP-BST/SiR are analyzed by Maxwell-Wagner polarization model. The experimental results show that the conductivity and interfacial charge density of PP and pure SiR increase gradually with the increase of temperature and electric field. With the gradual increase of BST content, the conductivity of BST/SiR shows an increasing trend and the interfacial charge accumulation density of PP-BST/SiR gradually decreases. When the BST content is 20%, the interfacial charge density of PP-BST/SiR can be as low as 0.28×10-4C/m2, which is about 81% less than that of PP-SiR. Meanwhile, when 5 % BST is added to the SiR matrix, the breakdown strength of the composite is increased by about 10%. This work is an important reference for the development of environmentally friendly PP cables and the exploration of matching SiR materials.
高压电缆附件中硅橡胶绝缘(SiR)与主绝缘的导电性失配是界面电荷积聚的重要原因。界面电荷积累会引起电场畸变,导致电缆系统故障。本文采用高介电性钛酸锶钡(BST)粒子对SiR进行改性,测试了BST/SiR和聚丙烯(PP)材料的介电性能和导电性能,并利用Maxwell-Wagner极化模型分析了PP-BST/SiR的界面电荷积累特性。实验结果表明,随着温度和电场的升高,PP和纯SiR的电导率和界面电荷密度逐渐增大。随着BST含量的逐渐增加,BST/SiR的电导率呈增加趋势,PP-BST/SiR的界面电荷积累密度逐渐降低。当BST含量为20%时,PP-BST/SiR的界面电荷密度可低至0.28×10-4C/m2,比PP-SiR低约81%。同时,当SiR基体中加入5% BST时,复合材料的击穿强度提高约10%。这项工作对于开发环保型PP电缆和探索与之匹配的SiR材料具有重要的参考意义。

构建纳米颗粒修饰多孔结构制备高表面绝缘超疏水材料
Surface flashover poses a significant threat to the safety operation of high-voltage power equipment, which is further deteriorated by environmental conditions such as rain, moisture, and contamination in outdoor applications. In this work, a robust high-surface-insulating and superhydrophobic material, with three-dimensional (3D) “nanoparticles decorated porous structures”, was presented. Porous materials were prepared by the templating method, in which the sugar granules were used as the porogen. After that, SiC nanoparticles were attached to the pores by dip-coating method. The 3D porous structure with interconnected pores could effectively improve the flashover strength, due to the combined effect of hindering collision ionization, accelerating surface charge dissipation, and corona stabilization effect. And the flashover voltage increases with porosity, with a maximum increment over 48.1 % and 47.5 % for DC and AC flashover voltages, respectively. Moreover, the 3D “nanoparticles decorated porous structures” gives rise to bulk superhydrophobicity even on a slashed surface, which can withstand various kinds of mechanical damages including scratch, deformation, and slicing off. Moreover, the superhydrophobic materials possess effective deicing performances due to the combined effect of photothermal deicing and passive anti-icing properties. The present approach provides a new insight for fabricating robust insulation materials with both high-flashover-strength and superhydrophobicity.
地面闪络严重威胁高压电力设备的安全运行,在室外应用中,由于雨水、潮湿、污染等环境条件的影响,表面闪络会进一步恶化。在这项工作中,提出了一种坚固的高表面绝缘和超疏水材料,具有三维(3D)“纳米颗粒装饰的多孔结构”。采用模板法制备了多孔材料,以糖粒为成孔剂。然后,采用浸包法制备SiC纳米颗粒。由于阻碍碰撞电离、加速表面电荷耗散和电晕稳定效应的综合作用,具有连通孔的三维多孔结构可以有效地提高闪络强度。随着孔隙度的增大,闪络电压增大,直流和交流闪络电压最大增幅分别超过48.1%和47.5%。此外,3D“纳米颗粒装饰的多孔结构”即使在划痕表面上也能产生体超疏水性,可以承受各种机械损伤,包括划痕、变形和切割。此外,由于光热除冰和被动防冰性能的共同作用,超疏水材料具有有效的除冰性能。该方法为制造高闪络强度和超疏水性的坚固绝缘材料提供了新的思路。

任意颗粒含量的颗粒增强类橡胶复合材料的新本构模型
Existing meso-mechanical models for particle reinforced rubber-like composites (PRRLCs) can not well predict the mechanical behavior at high particle contents. Based on a differential effective medium (DEM) method as well as iterative techniques, a new constitutive model is proposed according to the continuum theory of finite deformation, which can predict the nonlinear large deformation response of PRRLCs with arbitrary particle contents, in contrast to existing meso-mechanical models only applicable for PRRLCs with a small particle content. An iterative process to form a PRRLC with a given particle content is considered, in each step of which an infinitesimal content of particles is added into an effectively homogeneous rubber-like medium (initially as the pure rubber-like matrix) to obtain a composite with dilute fillers, and such a composite is homogenized to act as the effective rubber-like medium in the next step. An incrementally effective constitutive relation of the PRRLC can be achieved when the total content of added particles reaches the given value. The present model is used to predict stress-strain responses of PRRLCs with different contents of particles under uniaxial and equi-biaxial tensions. Theoretical predictions at either low or high particle content exhibit good agreements with experimental data and numerical results, and the underestimation of mechanical responses at high particle contents in existing meso-mechanical models for PRRLCs can be well overcome. These results prove the accuracy and reliability of the new model, which should be of guiding value for optimal designs of flexible composites with desirable mechanical performances.
现有颗粒增强类橡胶复合材料(prrlc)细观力学模型不能很好地预测高颗粒含量时的力学行为。基于差分有效介质(DEM)方法和迭代技术,基于有限变形连续介质理论,提出了一种新的本构模型,该模型可以预测任意颗粒含量的prrlc的非线性大变形响应,而现有的细观力学模型只适用于小颗粒含量的prrlc。考虑形成具有给定颗粒含量的PRRLC的迭代过程,在每一步中,将无限小含量的颗粒添加到有效均质类橡胶介质中(最初为纯类橡胶基体),得到具有稀释填料的复合材料,并将该复合材料均质作为下一步的有效类橡胶介质。当添加颗粒的总含量达到给定值时,PRRLC的有效本构关系为增量。利用该模型预测了不同颗粒含量的prrlc在单轴和等双轴拉伸下的应力-应变响应。无论是低颗粒含量还是高颗粒含量时的理论预测都与实验数据和数值结果吻合良好,并且可以很好地克服现有prrlc细观力学模型对高颗粒含量时力学响应的低估。这些结果证明了新模型的准确性和可靠性,对柔性复合材料力学性能的优化设计具有指导价值。
