Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of composite additive manufacturing technology, the design optimization of variable stiffness of fiber-reinforced composite laminates has attracted widespread attention from scholars and industry. In these aerospace composite structures, numerous cutout panels and shells serve as access points for maintaining electrical, fuel, and hydraulic systems. The traditional fiber-reinforced composite laminate subtractive drilling manufacturing inevitably faces the problems of interlayer delamination, fiber fracture, and burr of the laminate. Continuous fiber additive manufacturing technology offers the potential for integrated design optimization and manufacturing with high structural performance. Considering the integration of design and manufacturability in continuous fiber additive manufacturing, the paper proposes linear and nonlinear filtering strategies based on the Normal Distribution Fiber Optimization (NDFO) material interpolation scheme to overcome the challenge of discrete fiber optimization results, which are difficult to apply directly to continuous fiber additive manufacturing. With minimizing structural compliance as the objective function, the proposed approach provides a strategy to achieve continuity of discrete fiber paths in the variable stiffness design optimization of composite laminates with regular and irregular holes. In the variable stiffness design optimization model, the number of candidate fiber laying angles in the NDFO material interpolation scheme is considered as design variable. The sensitivity information of structural compliance with respect to the number of candidate fiber laying angles is obtained using the analytical sensitivity analysis method. Based on the proposed variable stiffness design optimization method for complex perforated composite laminates, the numerical examples consider the variable stiffness design optimization of typical non-perforated and perforated composite laminates with circular, square, and irregular holes, and systematically discuss the number of candidate discrete fiber laying angles, discrete fiber continuous filtering strategies, and filter radius on structural compliance, continuity, and manufacturability. The optimized discrete fiber angles of variable stiffness laminates are converted into continuous fiber laying paths using a streamlined process for continuous fiber additive manufacturing. Meanwhile, the optimized non-perforated and perforated MBB beams after discrete fiber continuous treatment, are manufactured using continuous fiber co-extrusion additive manufacturing technology to verify the effectiveness of the variable stiffness fiber optimization framework proposed in this paper.展开更多

文摘Three types of Al/Al−27%Si laminated composites,each containing 22%Si,were fabricated via hot pressing and hot rolling.The microstructures,mechanical properties and thermo-physical properties of these composites were investigated.The results demonstrated that the three laminated composites exhibited similar microstructural features,characterized by well-bonded interfaces between the Al layer and the Al−27%Si alloy layer.The tensile and flexural strengths of the composites were significantly higher than those of both Al−22%Si and Al−27%Si alloys.These strengths increased gradually with decreasing the layer thickness,reaching peak values of 222.5 and 407.4 MPa,respectively.Crack deflection was observed in the cross-sections of the bending fracture surfaces,which contributed to the enhanced strength and toughness.In terms of thermo-physical properties,the thermal conductivity of the composites was lower than that of Al−22%Si and Al−27%Si alloys.The minimum reductions in thermal conductivity were 6.8%and 0.9%for the T3 laminated composite,respectively.Additionally,the coefficient of thermal expansion of the composites was improved,exhibiting varying temperature-dependent behaviors.

文摘In Ti-Al laminated composites,cracks nucleate preferentially at the Al_(3)Ti layer,but the inhibitory effect of Al_(3)Ti on crack extension is ignored.Interestingly,by combining experiment and phase-field crystal simulation,we found that the micrometer Al_(3)Ti particles in the diffusion layer play the role of crack deflection and passivation,which is attributed to the lattice distortion induced by Al_(3)Ti consumes the energy of the crack in extension.In addition,it is found that the growth process of Al_(3)Ti is divided into two stages:nucleation stage and growth stage.Compared with the growth stage,the Al_(3)Ti grains in the nucleation stage are finer in the growth layer.Finer grains show better crack deflection and avoid stress concentration.

文摘Heterogeneous laminated structure(HLS)design offers new opportunities to enhance the mechanical performance of high-entropy alloys(HEAs)through synergistic effects from heterogeneity.However,it remains challenging to introduce the HLS into HEAs via severe plastic deformation due to their strong work-hardening capacity.In this study,a specially designed multi-level HLS,characterized by alterna-tively stacked micro-grained soft CoCrFeNi layers and nanostructured ultra-hard Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi layers con-taining a three-phase microstructure(composed of nanograined face-centered cubic matrix,(Al,Ni)-rich B2 precipitates,and Cr-richσprecipitates),is controllably introduced into FCC HEAs via a conventional thermo-mechanical processing involving hot-pressing,cold-rolling,and annealing.Meanwhile,thermo-mechanical processing induces Al element diffusion across the layer interface,resulting in the formation of an interfacial transition layer and the establishment of a strong interface bonding between the neigh-boring CoCrFeNi and Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi layers.As a result,the multi-level HLSed CoCrFeNi/Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi com-posite exhibits a yield strength as high as 1127±25.4 MPa while maintaining a large fracture elongation(up to(26.3±2.4)%).Such an excellent strength-ductility synergy surpasses that of most previously reported high-performance monolithic bulk CoCrFeNi and Al_(0.3)CoCrFeNi HEAs prepared through care-ful chemical composition optimization and/or thermo-mechanical processing.Strong hetero-deformation induced strengthening benefited from the apparent microstructural/microhardness difference and the strong interface bonding between the neighbouring CoCrFeNi and Al03CoCrFeNi layers,together with si-multaneous activation of multiple strain hardening mechanisms containing mechanical twinning,stack-ing faults and precipitation strengthening,is responsible for the excellent strength-ductility combination.This multi-level HLS and its fabrication strategy provide an enlightening way to develop strong and duc-tile HEAs and can also be applied to high-performance designs of other metallic materials.

文摘Al/Cu laminate composite was fabricated based on hot press sintering using Cu sheet and Al powders as raw materials.The effects of sintering parameters on interfacial structure and mechanical properties were investigated.The results revealed that a uniform Al/Cu interface with excellent bonding quality was achieved.The thickness of intermetallic compounds(IMCs)reached 33.88μm after sintering at 620℃for 2 h,whereas it was only 14.88μm when sintered at 600℃for 1 h.AlCu phase was developed through the reaction between Al4Cu9 and Al2Cu with prolonging sintering time,and an amorphous oxide strip formed at AlCu/Al4Cu9 interface.Both the grain morphology and interfacial structure affected the tensile strength of Al/Cu laminate,whereas the mode of tensile fracture strongly relied on the interfacial bonding strength.The highest tensile strength of 151.1 MPa and bonding strength of 93.7 MPa were achieved after sintering at 600℃for 1 h.
文摘In this paper,a meshfree Jacobi point interpolation(MJPI)approach for the dynamic analysis of sandwich laminated conical and cylindrical shells with varying thickness is presented.The theoretical formulations for sandwich laminated shells with varying thickness are established using the modified variational principle within the framework of first-order shear deformation theory(FSDT).The displacement components of the sandwich shell are expanded using the MJPI shape function and Fourier series in the meridional and circumferential directions,respectively.The accuracy and reliability of the proposed MJPI shape function are validated against numerical results from published literature and the commercial simulation tool Abaqus.Finally,the effects of different parameters such as thickness gradient,thickness power index and boundary condition on the free vibration and dynamic response of the sandwich laminated shell are investigated.

文摘Fiber Metal Laminates(FMLs),as high-performance composite materials,demonstrate exceptional potential in a wide range of applications,such as aeronautical and astronautical industries.However,the traditional cured FMLs possess complex interlayer stresses and low forming limits,restricting further promotion and application of FMLs.Low-constraint FMLs exhibit a lower forming resistance and better formability due to no curing during the forming process;however,the formation mechanism and response are not clear.This paper presents the Forming Limit Diagram(FLD)of low-constraint GLARE(glass fiber reinforced aluminum laminates)based on the forming limit test,and compares it with the conventionally cured laminates to evaluate the differences in the forming limit.In addition,combined with the analysis of failure mechanism and micro-deformation mechanism of specimens,the influence of different temperatures(20–80℃)and forming states(width)on the deformation performance of laminates is further explored.The results reveal that the forming limit curve of low-constraint laminates shifts up with the increase of temperature,the forming limit initially increases with the increase of width,then followed by a gradual decrease,and the maximum principal strain of low-constraint laminates is increased by 29% at 80℃ compared to 20℃.The cured laminate has a principal strain range of 0–0.02,while the low-constraint laminates have a principal strain range of 0.03–0.14.Compared with cured laminates,low-constraint laminates possess a higher forming limit due to the improvement in deformable degree between layers by resin flow and fiber slippage,which enhances their formability.This study is expected to serve as a reference for establishing forming limit criteria and optimizing forming schemes for low-constraint laminates.

文摘The Cu/1010 steel bimetal laminated composites(BLCs)were rolled to different thicknesses to investigate the effect of rolling direction and reduction on the microstructure evolution and mechanical properties.The difference of mechanical properties between the Cu and 1010 steel causes different thickness reductions,percentage spread,and cladding ratios.The formation of strong texture induces larger strength of the rolled samples,and as the volume fraction of 1010 steel is larger in Route-A,its strength is consistently greater than that in Route-B.The obstruction of interface to crystal and dislocation slip results in the formation of interface distortion,inducing dislocation density gradient when the rolling reduction is low in Route-A.The slip planes of the Cu and 1010 steel are more prone to suffer the normal strain,while the shear strain of other crystal planes is obviously larger than the normal strain under rolling load near the interface.

文摘The mechanical behaviour of Titanium-based Fiber Metal Laminates(FMLs)reinforced with Kevlar,Jute and the novel woven(Kevlar+Jute)fiber mat were evaluated through tensile,flexural,Charpy impact,and drop-weight tests.The FMLs were fabricated with various stacking configurations(2/1,3/2,4/3,and 5/4)to examine their influence on mechanical properties.Kevlar-reinforced laminates consistently demonstrated superior tensile and flexural strengths,with the highest tensile strength of 772 MPa observed in the 3/2 configuration,attributed to Kevlar's excellent load-bearing capacity.Jute-reinforced laminates exhibited lower performance due to poor bonding and early delamination,while the FMLs reinforced with woven(Kevlar+Jute)fiber mat achieved a balance between mechanical strength and cost-effectiveness by attaining a tensile strength of 718 MPa in the 3/2 configuration.Impact energy absorption results revealed that Kevlar-reinforced FMLs provided the highest energy absorption under Charpy tests,reaching 13.5 J in the 3/2 configuration.The 4/3 configu ration exhibited superior resistance under drop-weight impacts,absorbing 104.7 J of energy.Failure analysis using SEM revealed key mechanisms such as fiber debonding,delamination,and fiber pull-out,with increased severity observed in laminates with a higher number of fiber-epoxy layers,especially in the 5/4 configuration.This study highlights the potential of Kevlar-Jute hybrid fiber-reinforced FMLs for applications requiring high mechanical performance and impact resistance.Future research should explore advanced surface treatments and the environmental durability of these laminates for aerospace and automotive applications.

文摘To improve design accuracy and reliability of structures,this study solves the uncertain natural frequencies with consideration for geometric nonlinearity and structural uncertainty.Frequencies of the laminated plate with all four edges clamped(CCCC)are derived based on Navier's method and Galerkin's method.The novelty of the current work is that the number of unknowns in the displacement field model of a CCCC plate with free midsurface(CCCC-2 plate)is only three compared with four or five in cases of other exposed methods.The present analytical method is proved to be accurate and reliable by comparing linear natural frequencies and nonlinear natural frequencies with other models available in the open literature.Furthermore,a novel method for analyzing effects of mean values and tolerance zones of uncertain structural parameters on random frequencies is proposed based on a self-developed Multiscale Feature Extraction and Fusion Network(MFEFN)system.Compared with a direct Monte Carlo Simulation(MCS),the MFEFNbased procedure significantly reduces the calculation burden with a guarantee of accuracy.Our research provides a method to calculate nonlinear natural frequencies under two boundary conditions and presentes a surrogate model to predict frequencies for accuracy analysis and optimization design.

文摘Longitudinal seismic performance is a critical aspect to be considered during the tunnel design process,in addition to cross-sectional considerations.The present study proposed using a laminated shear energy dissipation(LSED)structure to achieve effective longitudinal seismic design.The proposed structure consists of thin steel plates and alternately bonded layers of rubber,which can be installed around the periphery of the secondary lining.This configuration guarantees that the tunnels will exhibit optimal axial deformation capacity and robust rigid resistance to circumferential compression from the surrounding rock.To evaluate the impact of the LSED structure on the longitudinal seismic performance of the tunnel,a fine numerical model of the LSED structureetunnel liningesurrounding rock system was developed using finite element simulation.The evaluation criteria include maximum principal stress and strain energy.The seismic response of the tunnel with the LSED structure exhibited a notable reduction of over 40%in terms of seismic attenuation rate when subjected to the Trinidad seismic wave compared to the tunnel without the LSED structure.Furthermore,the aseismic mechanism of the proposed LSED structure is discussed,considering both internal factors such as the rubber shear modulus,steel plate dimensions,and number and location of structures,and external influencing factors such as seismic wave parameters and surrounding rock quality.Meanwhile,the effectiveness of the tunnel with the LSED structure has been quantitatively demonstrated in terms of seismic fragility curves.

文摘Clarify the mechanical properties of different laminations and the fracture mechanism of continental shale under in-situ stress can provide theoretical basis for more comprehensive evaluation of the fracability of continental shale oil reservoir.The Chang 72continental shale was used to investigate the mechanical properties of laminations and the effect of natural structure on the crack propagation of the shale.The XRD and thin section tests show that the laminations contain two types:bright sandy lamination with void structure and dark muddy lamination with layer structure.The real-time CT uniaxial compression tests were conducted to investigate the differences of mechanical properties between the muddy lamination and sandy lamination.It found that the uniaxial compression strength and elastic modulus of the sandy lamination are higher,forming a simple crack with large opening,and the Poisson's ratio of the muddy lamination is large,forming obvious lateral deformation and more secondary cracks.On this basis,the cuboid-shaped continental shale specimens were tested under true triaxial compression conditions to study the effect of laminations and interface cracks on crack propagation combining AE and CT techniques.It found that nascent cracks connected laminations and interface cracks to form fracture network under appropriate loading condition,tensile cracks developed in sandy lamination and shear cracks occurred in muddy lamination because of deformation dissonance and brittleness index differences,and more secondary cracks formed in muddy lamination with smaller fracture toughness.Moreover,the combination relationships between nascent and natural cracks mainly conclude direct penetration and deflection,which is affected by the filling degree and morphology of interface cracks and the relationship of lamination types.These conclusions show that laminar continental shale is conducive to forming complex fracture network,which can provide a theoretical basis for the proposal of indicators and methods for fracability evaluation.
