The assessment of electromagnetic SE for Slotted Composite Structures(SCSs) is particularly challenging due to their complex geometries and there remains a lack of suitable models for accurately predicting the SE performance of these intricate configurations. To address this issue, this paper introduces SCS-Net, a Deep Neural Network (DNN) method designed to accurately predict the SE of SCS. This method considers the impacts of various structural parameters, material properties and incident wave parameters on the SE of SCSs. In order to better model the SCS, an improved Nicolson-Ross-Weir (NRW) method is introduced in this paper to provide an equivalent flat structure for the SCS and to calculate the electromagnetic parameters of the equivalent structure. Additionally, the prediction of SE via DNNs is limited by insufficient test data, which hinders support for large-sample training. To address the issue of limited measured data, this paper develops a Measurement-Computation Fusion (MCF) dataset construction method. The predictions based on the simulation results show that the proposed method maintains an error of less than 0.07 dB within the 8–10 GHz frequency range. Furthermore, a new loss function based on the weighted L1-norm is established to improve the prediction accuracy for these parameters. Compared with traditional loss functions, the new loss function reduces the maximum prediction error for equivalent electromagnetic parameters by 47%. This method significantly improves the prediction accuracy of SCS-Net for measured data, with a maximum improvement of 23.88%. These findings demonstrate that the proposed method enables precise SE prediction and design for composite structures while reducing the number of test samples needed.展开更多

Based on this assumption, to perform the maintenance and repair of aircraft composite structures, the damage of composite structures in a certain type of aircraft were investigated. The time-varying damage distribution model was established and verified based on the damage of a 16-aircraft fleet. The results show that the quantitative proportions of structural damage are 74% for skin delamination, 22% for stringer delamination and 3% for stringer-skin interface debonding. The amount of structural damages increases linearly with service time while the proportion of different damages does not change. As the service time increases, the geometric parameter distribution of damage for the same type of aircraft gradually converges, which can be approximated using the same function. There are certain differences in the proportion and geometric parameter distribution of damages among different components and locations, and the differences do not change over time.展开更多

A layer of glass fiber was provided at the interface between the metal panel and the aluminum foam core in this composite structure, using adhesive technology to bond the materials together by organic glue in the sequence of metal panel, glass fiber, aluminum foam core, glass fiber and metal panel. The experimental results show that the new composite structure has an improved comprehensive performance compared with the traditional aluminum foam sandwiches. The optimized parameters for the fabrication of the new aluminum foam composite structure with best bending strength were obtained. The epoxy resin and low porosity aluminum foams are preferred, the thickness of aluminum sheets should be at least 1.5 mm, and the type of glass fiber has little effect on the bending strength. The main failure modes of the new composite structures with two types of glues were discussed.展开更多

To apply this method to composite structures and give the actual position of damage, this paper proposes a spatial filter-based damage imaging method improved by complex Shannon wavelet transform. The basic principle of spatial filter is analyzed first. Then, this paper proposes a method of using complex Shannon wavelet transform to construct analytic signals of time domain signals of PZT sensors array. The analytic signals are synthesized depending on the principle of the spatial filter to give a damage imaging in the form of angle-time. A method of converting the damage imaging to the form of angle-distance is discussed. Finally, an aircraft composite oil tank is adopted to validate the damage imaging method. The validating results show that this method can recognize angle and distance of damage successfully.展开更多

文摘In this study,the free vibration of a piezoelectric semiconductor(PS)composite structure composed of a PS layer,a fractional viscoelastic layer,and an elastic substrate with simply-supported boundary conditions is investigated.The fractional derivative Zener model is used to establish the constitutive relation of the viscoelastic layer.The first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton's principle are used to derive the motion equations of the present problem.The frequency parameter is numerically resolved with the Newton-Raphson method through the eigenvalue equation.The effects of either geometric parameters,carrier density,and electric voltage applied on the surface of the composite structure or the fractional order of the Zener model on both the natural frequency and loss factor are discussed,and some interesting conclusions are drawn.This work will be helpful for designing and manufacturing PS materials and structures.

文摘This paper presents a deep learning-based topology optimization method for the joint design of material layout and fiber orientation in continuous fiber-reinforced composite structure(CFRCS).The proposed method mainly includes three steps:(1)a ResUNet-involved generative and adversarial network(ResUNet-GAN)is developed to establish the end-to-end mapping from structural design parameters to fiber-reinforced composite optimized structure,and a fiber orientation chromatogram is presented to represent continuous fiber angles;(2)to avoid the local optimum problem,the independent continuous mapping method(ICM method)considering the improved principal stress orientation interpolated continuous fiber angle optimization(PSO-CFAO)strategy is utilized to construct CFRCS topology optimization dataset;(3)the well-trained ResUNet-GAN is deployed to design the optimal structural material distribution together with the corresponding continuous fiber orientations.Numerical simulations for benchmark structure verify that the proposed method greatly improves the design efficiency of CFRCS along with high design accuracy.Furthermore,the CFRCS topology configuration designed by ResUNet-GAN is fabricated by additive manufacturing.Compression experiments of the specimens show that both the stiffness structure and peak load of the CFRCS topology configuration designed by the proposed method have significantly enhanced.The proposed deep learning-based topology optimization method will provide great flexibility in CFRCS for engineering applications.

文摘The stability of the“surrounding rock-backfill”com posite system is crucial for the safety of mining stopes.This study systematically investigates the effects of steel slag(SS)content and interface angle on the strength and failure characteristics of rock and SS-cemented paste backfill composite specimens(RBCS)through uniaxial compression strength tests(UCS),acoustic emission systems(AE),and 3 D digital image correlation monitoring technology(3 D-DIC).The intrinsic mechanism by which SS content influences the strength of SS-CPB was revealed through an analysis of its hydration reaction degree and microstructural characteristics under varying SS content.Moreover,a theoretical strength model incorporating different interface angles was developed to explore the impact of interface inclination on failure modes and mechanical strength.The main conclusions are as follows:The incorporation of SS enhances the plastic characteristics of RBCS and reduces its brittleness,with the increase of SS content,the stress-strain curve of RBCS in the“staircase-like”stag e becomes smoother;When the interface angle is 45°,the RBCS stress-strain curve exhibits a bimodal feature,and the failure mode changes from Y-shaped fractures to interface and axial splitting;The addition of SS results in a reduction of hydration products such as Ca(OH)_(2) in the backfill cementing system and an increase in harmful pores,which weakens the bonding performance and strength of RBCS,and the SS content should not exceed 45%;As the interface angle increases,the strength of RBCS decreases,and the critical interface slip angle decreases first and then increases with the increase in the E S/E R ratio.This study provides technical references for the large-scale application of SS in mine backfill.

文摘Controlled photocatalytic conversion of CO_(2) into premium fuel such as methane(CH4)offers a sustainable pathway towards a carbon energy cycle.However,the photocatalytic efficiency and selectivity are still unsatisfactory due to the limited availability of active sites on the current photocatalysts.To resolve this issue,the design of oxygen vacancies(OVs)in metal-oxide semiconductors is an effective option.Herein,in situ deposition of TiO_(2) onto SiO_(2) nanospheres to construct a SiO_(2)@TiO_(2) core-shell structure was performed to modulate the oxygen vacancy concentrations.Meanwhile,charge redistribution led to the formation of abundant OV-regulated Ti-Ti(Ti-OV-Ti)dual sites.It is revealed that Ti-OV-Ti dual sites served as the key active site for capturing the photogenerated electrons during light-driven CO_(2) reduction reaction(CO_(2)RR).Such electron-rich active sites enabled efficient CO_(2) adsorption and activation,thus lowering the energy barrier associated with the rate-determining step.More importantly,the formation of a highly stable*CHO intermediate at Ti-OV-Ti dual sites energetically favored the reaction pathway towards the production of CH4 rather than CO,thereby facilitating the selective product of CH_(4).As a result,SiO_(2)@TiO_(2)-50 with an optimized oxygen vacancy concentration of 9.0% showed a remarkable selectivity(90.32%)for CH_(4) production with a rate of 13.21μmol g^(-1) h^(-1),which is 17.38-fold higher than that of pristine TiO_(2).This study provides a new avenue for engineering superior photocatalysts through a rational methodology towards selective reduction of CO_(2).

文摘Delamination is a prevalent type of damage in composite laminate structures.Its accumulation degrades structural performance and threatens the safety and integrity of aircraft.This study presents a method for the quantitative identification of delamination identification in composite materials,leveraging distributed optical fiber sensors and a model updating approach.Initially,a numerical analysis is performed to establish a parameterized finite element model of the composite plate.Then,this model subsequently generates a database of strain responses corresponding to damage of varying sizes and locations.The radial basis function neural network surrogate model is then constructed based on the numerical simulation results and strain responses captured from the distributed fiber optic sensors.Finally,a multi-island genetic algorithm is employed for global optimization to identify the size and location of the damage.The efficacy of the proposed method is validated through numerical examples and experiment studies,examining the correlations between damage location,damage size,and strain responses.The findings confirm that the model updating technique,in conjunction with distributed fiber optic sensors,can precisely identify delamination in composite structures.

文摘Detection and repair of composite damage is crucial to ensure the safety and reliability of aircraft structures.A novel approach to quantitatively evaluate the repair tolerance of composite structures in civil aircraft based on Bayesian updating is presented.The method incorporates historical damage inspection data to determine the prior distribution of damage size,which is then updated with newly collected damage size data using Bayesian theory.Monte Carlo simulation is employed to investigate the probability of failure and estimate maintenance costs,considering various factors such as the frequency and timing of damage events,damage detection,structural strength,gust loads,and maintenance expenses throughout the lifecycle of composite structures.Safety and economic factors are considered to establish a lower threshold for repairs and an upper threshold for maintenance based on the occurrence of accidental impact damage.Verification of the effectiveness and feasibility of a quantitative assessment method for repair tolerance is conducted using damage statistics data from civil aircraft routes utilizing the structural skin panels of composite outer wing.The results demonstrate that the method proposed in conjunction with extensive simulations and full utilization of field damage inspection data can effectively simulate unexpected impact damage situations that may occur during civil aircraft service and evaluate the reliability and economic feasibility of the repair of structure.The research findings hold significant theoretical and practical value for the preparation of documents for continued airworthiness of composite structures,including structural repair manuals and maintenance programs.

文摘A two-step method is proposed for detection and identification of invisible impact damage in composite structure under temperature changes using Lamb waves.First,a statistical outlier analysis is employed to distinguish whether the changes of Lamb wave signals are induced by damage within a monitoring area or are only affected by temperature changes.Damage indices are defined after the Lamb wave signals are processed by Fourier transform,and a Monte Carlo procedure is used to obtain the damage threshold value for the damage indices at the undamaged state.If the damage indices in the operation state exceed the threshold value,the presence of damage is determined.Then,a probabilistic damage imaging algorithm displaying probabilities of the presence of damage within the monitoring area is adopted to fuse information collected from multiple actuator-sensor paths to identify the location of damage.Damage indices under damaged state are used to generate the diagnostic image.Experimental study on a stiffened composite panel with random temperature changes is performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

文摘A new composite structure based on aluminum foam sandwich and fiber metal laminate was proposed. A layer of glass fiber was provided at the interface between the metal panel and the aluminum foam core in this composite structure, using adhesive technology to bond the materials together by organic glue in the sequence of metal panel, glass fiber, aluminum foam core, glass fiber and metal panel. The experimental results show that the new composite structure has an improved comprehensive performance compared with the traditional aluminum foam sandwiches. The optimized parameters for the fabrication of the new aluminum foam composite structure with best bending strength were obtained. The epoxy resin and low porosity aluminum foams are preferred, the thickness of aluminum sheets should be at least 1.5 mm, and the type of glass fiber has little effect on the bending strength. The main failure modes of the new composite structures with two types of glues were discussed.

文摘The present work aims to develop a method for reliability-based optimum design of composite structures. A procedure combining particle swarm optimization （PSO） and finite element analysis （FEA） has been proposed. Numerical examples for the reliability design optimization （RDO） of a laminate and a composite cylindrical shell are worked out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the method. Then a design for composite pressure vessels is studied. The advantages and necessity of RDO over the conventional equi-strength design are addressed. Examples show that the proposed method has good stability and is efficient in dealing with the probabilistic optimal design of composite structures. It may serve as an effective tool to optimize other complicated structures with uncertainties.

文摘To ensure safe and economical backfill mining,the mechanical response of the backfill–rock interaction system needs to be understood.The numerical investigation of the mechanical behavior of backfill–rock composite structure(BRCS)under triaxial compression,which includes deformation,failure patterns,strength characteristics,and acoustic emission(AE)evolution,was proposed.The models used in the tests have one rough interface,two cement–iron tailings ratios(CTRs),four interface angles(IAs),and three confining pressures(CPs).Results showed that the deformation,strength characteristics,and failure patterns of BRCS under triaxial compression depend on IA,CP,and CTR.The stress–strain curves of BRCS under triaxial compression could be divided into five stages,namely,compaction,elasticity,yield,strain softening,and residual stress.The relevant AE counts have corresponding relationships with different stages.The triaxial compressive strengths of composites increase linearly with the increase of the CP.Furthermore,the CP stress strengthening effect occurs.When the IAs are45°and 60°,the failure areas of composites appear in the interface and backfill.When the IAs are 75°and 90°,the failure areas of composites appear in the backfill,interface,and rock.Moreover,the corresponding failure modes yield the combined shear failure.The research results provide the basis for further understanding of the stability of the BRCS.

文摘Piezoelectric sensor array-based spatial filter technology is a new promising method presented in research area of structural health monitoring （SHM） in the recent years. To apply this method to composite structures and give the actual position of damage, this paper proposes a spatial filter-based damage imaging method improved by complex Shannon wavelet transform. The basic principle of spatial filter is analyzed first. Then, this paper proposes a method of using complex Shannon wavelet transform to construct analytic signals of time domain signals of PZT sensors array. The analytic signals are synthesized depending on the principle of the spatial filter to give a damage imaging in the form of angle-time. A method of converting the damage imaging to the form of angle-distance is discussed. Finally, an aircraft composite oil tank is adopted to validate the damage imaging method. The validating results show that this method can recognize angle and distance of damage successfully.

文摘The application of hard/soft composite structure in personnel armor for blast mitigation is relatively practical and effective in realistic protection engineering,such as the shell/liner system of the helmet.However,there is still lacking a reliable experi-mental methodology to effectively evaluate the blast mitigation performance when the structure directly contacts the protected target,which limits the development of protection structures.In this paper,we proposed a new method to evaluate experi-mentally and numerically the blast mitigation performance of hard/soft composite structures.The blast mitigation mechanism is analyzed.The hard/soft structures were composed of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene(UHMWPE)composite and expanded polyethylene(EPE)foam.In field explosion experiment,a 7.0 kg trinitrotoluene(TNT)spherical charge is used to generate blast waves at a 3.8 m stand-off distance.A pressure test device is designed to support the tested structure and measure the transmitted blast pressure pulses after passing through the structure.Experimental results indicate that the hard/soft structures can mitigate the blast pressure pulse into the triangular pressure pulse,through making the pulse profile flatter,reducing the pressure amplitude,and delaying the pulse arrival time.Specifically,the combination of 7 mm UHMWPE composite and 20 mm EPE foam can reduce the blast pressure amplitude by 40%.Correspondingly,the finite element simulation is also carried out to understand the blast mitigation mechanism.The numerical results indicate that the regulation for blast pressure pulses mainly complete at the hard/soft interface,which is attributed to the reflection of pressure waves at the interface and the deformation of the soft layer compressed by the hard layer possessing kinetic energy.Furthermore,based on these analyses,the corresponding theoretical model is proposed,and it can well explain the experimental and numerical results.This study is meaningful for evaluating and designing high-performance blast mitigation structures.

文摘The resin-sand mixture was proposed to be used as the surface course,and cement permeable concrete was used as the base course;such two kinds of materials were combined to prepare water-permeable brick with a composite structure.The compressive strength,flexural strength,and permeability were studied by using adjusting the contents of carbon fiber,quartz powder,cement,sand,and surfactant.The study shows that the hydrophilicity of the resin-sand mixture can be improved after any amount of resin is replaced by quartz powder;by using the surfactant,the interface energy of the particles can be reduced so that the water permeability of the surface course can be promoted effectively.However,the mechanical properties of the surface course were negatively affected by the surfactant.With the optimal process consideration in the experiments,the properties about compressive strength,flexural strength,and permeability of the composite permeable brick can meet the requirements of the specifications of resin-sand based water permeable brick JGT 376-2012(compressive strength was higher than 35 MPa,the flexural strength exceeded 5.19 MPa,and the average permeability coefficient was higher than 2.3×10^(-2)cm/s).There are no obvious pores on the surface course and only water molecules can pass through it,therefore,the surface of the permeable brick cannot be blocked up by solid substances,and the permeability of such permeable brick can be improved effectively in this way.
