分层对玻璃纤维增强复合材料力学性能影响的实验与数据驱动模型
Delamination is usually induced by the manufacturing process and extreme external loads, which significantly threaten the load-bearing capacity of the structures. To reduce the influence of delamination, it is desired to investigate the influencing mechanism of delamination on the mechanical performance of the composite laminates. To this end, 14 types of glass fiber-reinforced polymers (GFRP) unidirectional composite plates with or without circular delamination are fabricated, in which the delaminations are designed in different diameters and locations along the thickness. Subsequently, the static three-point bending tests are performed, in which the test techniques including high-speed camera, digital image correlation (DIC), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and metallographic microscope are employed to measure the damage behaviors. When delamination is close to the upper surface, the experiments show that the layers between the delamination and the upper surface will occur local buckling with the increase of the delamination scale. Local buckling will accelerate delamination growth, whereas such an issue is scarcely reported in the published literature. In addition, the fiber bridging phenomenon can also be observed, which should be considered in the numerical analysis. Compared to the intact specimen, the bending strengths of the specimens with delamination at the location close to the upper surface are reduced by between 12.22% and 30.46%, while those of the specimens with delamination at the location close to the bottom surface are reduced by between 4.56% and 17.08%. To explore more influences of delamination on bending behaviors, an artificial neural network model (ANNM) has been constructed, which can quickly and accurately predict the bending strength of such structures. Such a method will be employed to investigate the bending strength degradation with different delamination sizes.
脱层通常是由制造过程和极端外部荷载引起的,严重威胁结构的承载能力。为了减小分层对复合材料层合板力学性能的影响,需要研究分层对复合材料层合板力学性能的影响机理。为此,制作了14种具有或不具有圆形分层的玻璃纤维增强聚合物(GFRP)单向复合材料板,其中分层沿厚度方向设计为不同直径和位置。随后进行了静态三点弯曲试验,采用高速摄像、数字图像相关(DIC)、扫描电镜(SEM)和金相显微镜等测试技术对试件的损伤行为进行了测量。实验表明,当分层靠近上表面时,随着分层规模的增大,分层与上表面之间的层将发生局部屈曲。局部屈曲会加速分层生长,而这一问题在已发表的文献中很少报道。此外,还可以观察到光纤桥接现象,这在数值分析中应予以考虑。与完整试件相比,靠近上表面发生分层的试件抗弯强度降低了12.22% ~ 30.46%,而靠近下表面发生分层的试件抗弯强度降低了4.56% ~ 17.08%。为了探索分层对弯曲行为的更多影响,构建了人工神经网络模型(ANNM),该模型可以快速准确地预测此类结构的弯曲强度。该方法将用于研究不同分层尺寸下的弯曲强度退化。

考虑厚复合材料和夹层梁二维热弹性变形的扩展精炼之字形理论
The Extended Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT-E) is introduced for the linear elastic analysis of composite and sandwich beams under static and thermal loads. Building on the Refined Zigzag Theory (RZT), RZT-E incorporates a cubic and zigzag variation for axial displacement and a parabolic and zigzag approximation for transverse displacement, enabling higher-order deformation effects and thickness-stretch modes. These enhancements improve accuracy, particularly for beams with varying material properties and thermal gradients. The mechanical loading includes arbitrary transverse normal and shear tractions applied to the top and bottom surfaces, while thermal loads are modelled using a piecewise linear through-thickness function, accounting for zigzag variations from transient thermal analyses. The formulation involves seven independent kinematic variables, regardless of the number of layers, and employs the virtual work principle to derive seven equilibrium equations with consistent boundary conditions. Analytical solutions are provided for simply supported beams under transverse pressure, shear tractions, and varying thermal loads. Transverse shear and normal stresses are calculated using two-dimensional Cauchy equilibrium equations during post-processing. RZT-E shows improved accuracy over RZT, particularly for cases with significant material or thermal variations. It eliminates the need for shear correction factors and is ideally suited for the development of efficient C0-continuous finite elements.
将扩展精细之字形理论(RZT-E)应用于复合材料和夹层梁在静载荷和热载荷作用下的线弹性分析。在精细化之字形理论(RZT)的基础上,RZT- e结合了轴向位移的立方和之字形变化,以及横向位移的抛物线和之字形近似,实现了高阶变形效果和厚度-拉伸模式。这些改进提高了精度,特别是对于具有不同材料特性和热梯度的光束。机械载荷包括施加在顶部和底部表面的任意横向法向和剪切牵引力,而热载荷使用分段线性贯穿厚度函数建模,考虑瞬态热分析的之字形变化。该公式涉及7个独立的运动变量,与层数无关,并利用虚功原理推导出7个边界条件一致的平衡方程。给出了简支梁在横向压力、剪切牵引力和不同热载荷作用下的解析解。在后处理过程中,利用二维柯西平衡方程计算横向剪应力和正应力。RZT- e显示出比RZT更高的精度,特别是对于具有显著材料或热变化的情况。它消除了剪切校正因子的需要,非常适合于开发高效的c0连续有限元。

热塑性复合材料层合板在不同温度下的I型分层扩展:实验与数值模拟
Thermoplastic composites, appreciated for their lightweight, high specific strength, excellent energy absorption, and crash resistance, are gaining popularity in aerospace, automotive, and marine industries. High-temperature environments can lead to the degradation of inter-laminar stresses and component performance. To assure the credible application of thermoplastic composites during service environments, an in-depth analyze of the relationship between the inter-laminar properties and temperature is essential. In this study, the effect of temperature on the process of delamination propagation in thermoplastic composite structures was analyzed by performing delamination propagation tests of double cantilever beam (DCB) at different temperatures. The results show that temperature has an important effect on fracture toughness, delamination propagation rate, delamination propagation resistance curve (R-curve), and the number of fiber bridges. The bridging traction at the interface of the thermoplastic composite plate decreases with increasing temperature. The fracture toughness G_I were reduced by 67.5%, 72.4% and 85.1% at temperatures of 40℃, 60℃ and 80℃, respectively, compared to the room temperature. Finally, the obtained traction-separation relationship was integrated into trilinear cohesive zone mode considering the effect of temperature. The numerical results were agreement with the experimental results, evidencing that the proposed trilinear cohesive zone mode was suitable for modeling the delamination propagation of thermoplastic composite laminates at high temperatures.
热塑性复合材料因其重量轻、比强度高、能量吸收性能优异以及抗冲击性能良好而备受青睐,在航空航天、汽车和船舶工业中越来越受欢迎。高温环境会导致层间应力和部件性能的退化。为了确保热塑性复合材料在服役环境中的可靠应用,深入分析层间性能与温度之间的关系至关重要。在本研究中,通过在不同温度下进行双悬臂梁(DCB)的分层扩展试验,分析了温度对热塑性复合材料结构分层扩展过程的影响。结果表明,温度对断裂韧性、分层扩展速率、分层扩展阻力曲线(R 曲线)以及纤维桥的数量有重要影响。热塑性复合材料板界面处的桥接牵引力随温度升高而降低。在 40℃、60℃ 和 80℃ 时,断裂韧性 G_I 分别比室温降低了 67.5%、72.4% 和 85.1%。最后,将获得的牵引分离关系整合到考虑温度影响的三线性粘结区模型中。数值结果与实验结果一致,表明所提出的三线性粘结区模型适用于高温下热塑性复合材料层合板脱层扩展的建模。

仿生界面裂缝引导与捕获对有效韧性的协同控制
Interface phases are frequently employed to allow deformation and energy absorption to improve the toughness of biological materials. To explore the design space, a combination of the phase field model and 3D printing is adopted to investigate the fracture behaviors of the interface phase and the effective toughness of bioinspired materials. For the heterogeneous interface phase with smooth Young’s modulus, the period number of the smoothing modulation of Young’s modulus is positively correlated with the far-field J while it has a slight influence on the near-tip J. It indicates that effective toughness can be enhanced by increasing the period number of Young’s modulus. In the case where two Young’s moduli alternate along the interface, the effective toughness is highly dependent on the inclined angle of the compliant-to-stiff interface due to stress fluctuations caused by mismatched elastic parameters and crack nucleation. The experimental test of a 3D-printed bioinspired gradient interface indicates that weak interface phases guide crack propagation while strong interface phases trap cracks. For the structured interface phase, interlocking regions prevent the crack from continuing to propagate and the effective toughness exhibits the directional asymmetry. In all, crack guiding and trapping in the interface phase collaboratively control the effective toughness.
界面相经常用于允许变形和能量吸收,以提高生物材料的韧性。为了探索设计空间,采用相场模型与3D打印相结合的方法研究仿生材料界面相的断裂行为和有效韧性。对于光滑杨氏模量的非均质界面相,杨氏模量的平滑调制周期数与远场J呈正相关,而对近端J的影响较小,表明增加杨氏模量周期数可以提高有效韧性。在两个杨氏模量沿界面交替的情况下,由于弹性参数不匹配和裂纹成核引起的应力波动,有效韧性高度依赖于柔硬界面的倾斜角。3d打印仿生梯度界面的实验测试表明,弱界面相引导裂纹扩展,强界面相捕获裂纹。对于结构界面相,联锁区阻止裂纹继续扩展,有效韧性表现出方向不对称。总而言之,界面相的裂纹引导和俘获共同控制着有效韧性。

不同基体WC钢基组态复合材料的显微组织形成及摩擦磨损性能
The impact of diverse matrices on the microstructure and friction wear characteristics of WC matrix composites has been the subject of investigation. In this study, three types of WC matrix composites with different matrices compositions were prepared using the casting infiltration method. The matrices employed were high manganese steel, high chromium cast iron, and high carbon steel. The microstructure and phase composition of the WC steel composites with different matrices have been investigated using a range of analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and field transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). This paper presents the findings of an investigation into the friction and wear properties of different matrices WC steel matrix composites. The high manganese steel sample is primarily composed of α-Fe, Fe3W3C, and Cr7C3, while the high chromium cast iron and high carbon steel specimen are predominantly constituted by α-Fe, Fe6W6C, and Cr7C3. The Fe6W6C phase formed in the high carbon steel sample exhibits both [1, 1, −1] and [-1,1–6] as the zone axis. The hardness, friction coefficient and wear rate of the high carbon steel samples were superior, with values of 751.13 HV, 0.60 and 10.3110-5mm3/(Nm) respectively. Under identical conditions, the wear resistance is fourfold that of the high manganese steel sample and 70 % that of the high chromium cast iron sample. The superior wear resistance of the high carbon steel specimen is likely attributable to the distinctive shape and orientation of the Fe6W6C composite zone.

单向3d打印复合材料纵向拉伸连续损伤建模
This work presents a two-scale modeling approach for simulating the progressive damage behavior of unidirectional 3D-printed composites reinforced with continuous fibers. The approach utilizes a semi-analytical method, combining analytical homogenization at the micro-scale and finite element modeling at the macro-scale. At the micro-scale, the analytical model incorporates weakest link theory and Weibull statistics to account for fiber damage. At the macro-scale, a novel method based on continuum damage mechanics (CDM) is developed to consider damage evolution. The two-scale modeling approach is compared to experimental results of tensile and open-hole tests of 3D-printed composites reinforced with continuous carbon fibers. The comparison demonstrates that the two-scale modeling approach captures well the complex mechanical behavior of unidirectional 3D-printed composites.

This study investigates the dynamic characteristics of composite laminated magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) sandwich plates, both with and without graphene in theMRE core. First, the composite laminated face sheets, MRE core, and graphene-reinforced MRE (GMRE) core are prepared. Then laminated composite MRE sandwich plates (MRESP) and graphene-reinforced MRE sandwich plates (GMRESP) are fabricated, and the natural frequencies of the sandwich plates are determined experimentally with various magnetic fields under clamped-free (CF) boundary conditions.

提高自固化硅基邻苯二腈/石英复合材料的耐热性、介电性能和阻燃性,用于快速热熔预浸工艺
The robust operation of electromagnetic waves in communication systems with extreme temperatures relies on high-temperature resistant wave-transparent composites, with organic resin matrix being a pivotal constituent. Enhancing the heat resistance of resins while maintaining excellent processability poses a significant challenge. Herein, a novel “rigid-in-flexible” self-curing silicon-basedsilicon-basedphthalonitrile monomer containing phenylacetylene backbone (Si-ALK-PN) was designed. The silazane component disrupts the crystallinity in Si-ALK-PN, resulting in a characteristic of low viscosity (0.3 Pa·s) and extended processing window (>3h). After curing at 450 °C, the resin, namely Si-ALK-PN-450 °C, demonstrated exceptional thermal stability (T 5% = 631 °C) and thermo-oxidative stability (T 5% = 560 °C). Their quartz fiber-infused composites (Si-ALK-PNs/QF) were manufactured through a straightforward melt processing approach. Upon post-curing at 450 °C, Si-ALK-PN-450 °C/QF exhibited elevated glass transition temperature, flexural strength, and consistent dielectric properties across a wide temperature ranging from 25 °C to 600 °C. Especially, it exhibited excellent flame retardancy as well, stemming from release of eco-friendlyeco-friendly inert gases (NH3) and the high thermal stability of N-enriched all-aromatic PN resin. The design concept of “rigid-in-flexible”, along with the multi-functional group co-curing strategy, offers a promising solution for addressing the trade-off between processing and heat resistance in resins, extending beyond PN resins.
电磁波在极端温度通信系统中的稳健运行依赖于耐高温波透明复合材料,其中有机树脂基体是关键成分。提高树脂的耐热性,同时保持良好的加工性能是一个重大的挑战。本文设计了一种新型的含有苯乙炔骨架(Si-ALK-PN)的“刚柔相接”自固化硅基酞腈单体。硅氮烷组分破坏了Si-ALK-PN的结晶度,导致其具有低粘度(0.3 Pa·s)和延长加工窗口(bbb3h)的特性。在450 °C固化后,树脂Si-ALK-PN-450 °C表现出优异的热稳定性(T 5% = 631 °C)和热氧化稳定性(T 5% = 560°C)。他们的石英纤维注入复合材料(Si-ALK-PNs/QF)是通过直接的熔融加工方法制造的。在450 °C固化后,Si-ALK-PN-450 °C/QF在25 °C至600 °C的宽温度范围内表现出更高的玻璃化转变温度、弯曲强度和一致的介电性能。特别是由于其释放的环保惰性气体(NH3)和富n全芳PN树脂的高热稳定性,使其具有优异的阻燃性。“刚柔相接”的设计理念,以及多功能基团共固化策略,为解决树脂加工和耐热性之间的权衡提供了一个有前途的解决方案,延伸到PN树脂之外。

具有定制连续碳纤维路径的复合材料结构的各向异性拓扑优化和3D打印
This paper presents an integration of level set-based anisotropic topology optimization and 3D printing for designing continuous carbon fiber (CCF)-reinforced polymer composite structures. During the optimization process, geometric boundaries of the composite structure are updated by solving a reaction–diffusion equation. Based on these boundaries, the fast marching algorithm is employed to generate tailored CCF paths across the structural domain. This approach ensures consistency of the fiber path layout in the numerical topology optimization and the corresponding 3D-printed model. To validate performance, the 3D-printed composite structure using tailored CCF paths is compared with structures using fixed fiber paths orientations of 0°, 30°, 45°, and 60°, respectively. The numerical findings closely align with the experimental results for all study cases. Furthermore, the topology-optimized structure with tailored CCF paths exhibits superior performance.

在泡沫镍上直接生长镍锡钴硫化层薄膜作为高性能杂化超级电容器电极
This study unveils an innovative approach for fabricating high-performance Nickel-Tin-Cobalt sulfide (NTCS) on Ni foam (NF) substrates as a ternary sulfide, shifting the boundaries of supercapacitors (SCs) technology towards economic efficiency. The successive ionic layer adsorption and reaction (SILAR) technique is used to prepare a range of NTCS thin films, as battery like electrode, and the optimized NTCS3@NF electrode displayed exceptional results, overtaking all previously reported ternary sulfides. The NTCS3@NF electrode achieved an impressive specific capacity (Cs) of 1708 C/g at 5 A/g, with 100% capacity retention and coulombic efficiency after 20,000 cycles. The superior performance of the introduced electrodes is attributed to the effective direct growth of thin film over an excellent conductive substrate and avoiding creating dead surface area by using polymer binders. The inherent connection between the prepared thin film and substrate decreases the overall resistance and facilitates electron transfer across the interface. Also, the thin film porosity helps in effective ion diffusion between the electrode/electrolyte interface. Moreover, the NTCS3@NF//Activated Carbon (AC)@NF hybrid supercapacitor device (HSC) delivered an outstanding energy density (ED) of 20 Wh/kg and a power density (PD) of 12,909 W/kg at 10 A/g, retaining 76% capacity and 81.2% coulombic efficiency even after 100,000 cycles, surpassing the performance of leading HSCs. These findings position NTCS as a potential material for next-generation supercapacitors and economical energy storage applications.

机器学习支持分层结构应变场的反设计
Hierarchical architectures are complex structures composed of multiple materials arranged at a microstructural level to achieve specific macroscopic properties. Despite the advantages offered by hierarchical architectures which are offering broad design freedom, this extensive design space also poses significant challenges for inverse designing hierarchical architectures. This paper addresses the inverse design of strain fields for hierarchical architectures by integrating efficient forward prediction with precise inverse optimization. Forward prediction models are developed to accurately predict the physical properties and performance metrics of these materials, while inverse optimization algorithms determine the optimal material distribution to achieve desired outcomes. We propose a machine learning approach that utilizes a recurrent neural network (RNN)-based forward prediction model trained on finite element analysis data, achieving over 99% accuracy. An evolutionary algorithm-based inverse optimization model is then used to identify the optimal material configuration to reach the desired strain fields. The results, validated through simulation and experimental testing, demonstrate the potential of machine learning to accelerate the design and optimization of strain fields in hierarchical architectures, paving the way for advanced material applications in the fields of aerospace engineering, biomedical devices, robotics, structural engineering, and energy storage systems.

在1000℃下通过梯度纳米晶釉层制备超耐磨高熵纳米复合材料
The development of ultra-wear-resistant metallic materials capable of withstanding extreme temperatures remains a critical challenge in advancing tribological systems for aerospace, energy, and manufacturing industries. Here, we introduce a Co25Ni23Cr20Fe20Ti6Al4B2 crystal-glass high-entropy nanocomposite, engineered with a high density of hierarchical nanoprecipitates. At 1000°C, this material demonstrates an unprecedented negative wear rate of -2.3 × 10-6 mm3/Nm, surpassing state-of-the-art superalloys and intermetallic composites, while maintaining a low coefficient of friction of 0.26, comparable to advanced ceramic lubricants. This exceptional performance stems from a gradient nanograined glaze layer that dissipates frictional strain and suppresses brittle cracking and spalling of metallic oxides in the tribo-layer. Our findings expand the design space for high-entropy alloys and establish a scalable framework for developing next-generation ultra-durable materials for extreme environments.

迈向复合材料制造中数字孪生精度的一步:聚合物复合材料的开创性轮廓法
Digital twinning is revolutionizing composite manufacturing by optimizing product design and enhancing structural integrity through total stress assessment. However, accurately validating residual stress in numerical simulations remains a significant challenge. The present research pioneers the application of the contour method to non-conductive polymer composite materials using diamond wire cutting, breaking away from its traditional use on conductive materials. It establishes a robust experimental framework for assessing and refining numerical simulations in digital twinning of composite structures. A simple epoxy-carbon fiber reinforced cross-ply laminate with unbalanced asymmetric layup is employed in this study. It is ensured the material is elastically deformed during cutting by comparing the operating temperature and the glass transition temperature determined using Differential Scanning Calorimetry. The cut surfaces are thoroughly assessed using optical, confocal, scanning electron microscopy and high-resolution surface topological scanning to validate the contour method assumptions. This includes characterization of the microstructure, material defects and cutting artefacts affecting the deformation topology of the cut surfaces. The paper sets a minimum resolvable length scale for residual stress, considering the size of constituents and surface roughness caused by diamond wire cutting. Finally, through thickness Residual stresses of cross ply laminate measured by the Contour Method is presented and validated against Pulse-method based slitting analysis.
