Impact response of three-dimensional stitched sandwich composite

The paper aims at evaluating the damage resistance of sandwich structures composed of stitched foam core and glass facesheets subjected to low-velocity impact. To obtain a suitable baseline comparison, the equivalent set of properties was measured for an equivalent unstitched sandwich.Based on the force and energy histories, parameters have been introduced as following: load at incipient damage, maximum load, penetration depth at maximum load, total energy absorbed during impact and impact damage area. The impact resistance of the sandwich structure is greatly improved by the presence of the stitches. Skin/core delamination is limited and initial energy is used to degrade core’s stitches. Moreover the global behavior under impact is influenced by the stitching geometrical parameters.     

The structural response of clamped sandwich beams subjected to impact loading

The structural response of dynamically loaded monolithic and sandwich beams made of aluminum skins with different cores is determined by loading the end-clamped beams at mid-span with metal foam projectiles. The sandwich beams comprise aluminum honeycomb cores and closed-cell aluminum foam cores. Laser displacement transducer was used to measure the permanent transverse deflection of the back face mid-point of the beams. The resistance to shock loading is evaluated by the permanent deflection at the mid-span of the beams for a fixed magnitude of applied impulse and mass of beam. It is found that sandwich beams with two kind cores under impact loading can fail in different modes. Experimental results show the sandwich beams with aluminum honeycomb cores present mainly large global deformation, while the foam core sandwich beams tend to local deformation and failure, but all the sandwich beams had a higher shock resistance, then the monolithic beam. For each type of beams, the dependence of transverse deflection upon the magnitude of the applied impulse is measured. Moreover, the effects of face thickness and core thickness on the failure and deformation modes were discussed. Results indicated that the structural response of sandwich beams is sensitive to applied impulse and structural configuration. The experimental results are of worth to optimum design of cellular metallic sandwich structures.     

Blast resistance and energy absorption of foam-core cylindrical sandwich shells under external blast

The early time, through-thickness stress wave response of a foam-core, composite sandwich cylindrical shell under external blast is examined in this paper. Solutions for the transient response of the facesheets were derived as stress waves propagated through an elastic–plastic, crushable foam core. These solutions were found to be in good agreement with results from finite element analysis. The blast response of the composite sandwich cylindrical shell was shown to be affected by the magnitude and duration of the pressure pulse. High amplitude, low duration (impulsive) pressure pulses induced the greatest energy absorption. Low amplitude, long duration pressure pulses caused minimal energy absorption. The amount of energy absorbed increased and the failure load decreased with increasing core thickness. Sandwich shells with foams of varying density, compressive modulus and crushing resistance were also examined. The sandwich shells with the foam of the highest density, compressive modulus and crushing resistance (Divinycell HCP100) were found to be the most blast resistant to failure even though no energy was absorbed by them. Per unit weight, however, the shells with a lighter, less stiff and strong, Divinycell H200 foam core were more blast resistant to failure than shells with a Divinycell HCP100 foam core.     

“Segment-wise model” for theoretical simulation of barely visible indentation damage in composite sandwich beams: Part II – Experimental verification and discussion

When localized transverse loading is applied to a sandwich structure, the facesheet locally deflects and the core crushes. A residual dent induced by the core crushing significantly degrades the mechanical properties of the sandwich structure. In a previous paper, the authors established a “segment-wise model” for theoretical simulation of barely visible indentation damage in honeycomb sandwich beams with composite facesheets. Honeycomb sandwich beam was divided into many segments based on the periodic shape of the honeycomb and complicated through-thickness characteristics of the core were integrated into each segment. In this paper, the new model is validated by experiments using specimens with different types of honeycomb cores. In addition, the damage growth mechanism under indentation load was clarified from the viewpoint of the reaction force from the core to the facesheet. The applicability of the model to other types of core materials is also discussed.     

Effective elastic properties of foam-filled honeycomb cores of sandwich panels

Filling with foams of honeycomb structures has been proposed as some enhancement of honeycomb-cored sandwich material systems. The present study considers aluminum honeycomb cores filled with polyvinyl chloride foams with the aim to predict their material elastic properties. The displacement-based homogeneous technique using 3D finite element analysis is applied to evaluate the effective elastic properties of foam-filled honeycomb cores. The special attention is paid to stress predictions at the skin/core interface and the stress distributions within the honeycomb cell walls. The influence of the foam filler on distribution of local stresses within the cell is examined. The FE modelling is performed with the commercial available software ABAQUS. The structural benefits of the foam-filled honeycomb cores are also discussed.     

Low-velocity impact damage initiation in graphite/epoxy/Nomex honeycomb-sandwich plates

Low-velocity impact and static indentation tests on sandwich plates composed of 4- to 48-ply graphite/epoxy cross-ply laminate facesheets and Nomex honeycomb cores have been performed to characterize damage initiation as a function of facesheet thickness and loading rate. Force histories during low-velocity impact are measured by using an instrumented impactor and integrated to produce energy histories. Energy histories are shown to reveal damage initiation. Static indentation tests show damage that is similar to that produced by low-velocity impact. The force at which damage initiates is shown to be lower for static tests than for low-velocity impact tests, and differences between equilibrium curves for the two types of loading are discussed. The difference between static and low-velocity impact tests is greater for plates with thicker facesheets. This may indicate a limitation of the applicability of the common assumption that low-velocity impact is a quasi-steady process.

Enhancement of through-thickness thermal conductivity of sandwich construction using carbon foam

As a thermal management system, a sandwich construction was developed to have both superior thermal conductivity and structural integrity. The sandwich construction consists of a carbon foam core and unidirectional graphite/epoxy composite facesheets. An emphasis was put on enhancing the thermal conductivity of each phase of sandwich construction as well as interface between the phases. A commercially-available carbon foam was characterized mechanically and thermally. Property variation and anisotropy were observed with the highly conductive graphitic carbon foam. Co-curing of the composite facesheets with the carbon foam core was demonstrated to minimize the thickness of the adhesive layer between the facesheets and the core to produce the best construction of those tested. Comparison made with an adhesively bonded specimen shows that the co-curing is a more efficient method to enhance the through-thickness conductivity. Parametric studies with an analytic model indicate that degree of enhancement in the overall through-thickness conductivity of the sandwich construction from the enhancement of each component including the foam core, facesheet and the bonding methods.
