Mechanical behavior of the sandwich structures with carbon fiber-reinforced pyramidal lattice truss core

Sandwich panel construction with carbon fiber-reinforced pyramidal lattice truss is attracting more and more attention due to its superior mechanical properties and multi-functional applications. Pyramidal lattice truss sandwich panels made from carbon fiber reinforced composites materials are manufactured by hot-pressing. The facesheets are interconnected with truss cores, the facesheets and truss cores are manufactured in one manufacturing process without bonding. The buckling and splitting of truss member is observed in the compressive and shear tests and no nodal failure is observed. The predicted results show that the mechanical behavior of the pyramidal lattice truss core sandwich panels depends on the relative density of core and the material properties of truss members.     

Mechanical behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite sandwich panels with 2-D lattice truss cores

Composite sandwich structures with lattice truss cores are attracting more and more attention due to their superior specific strength/stiffness and multi-functional applications. In the present study, the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composite sandwich panels with 2-D lattice truss core are manufactured based on the hot-pressing method using unidirectional carbon/epoxy prepregs. The facesheets are interconnected with lattice truss members by means of that both ends of the lattice truss members are embedded into the facesheets, without the bonding procedure commonly adopted by sandwich panels. The mechanical properties of the 2-D lattice truss sandwich panels are investigated under out-of-plane compression, shear and three-point bending tests. Delamination of the facesheets is observed in shear and bending tests while node failure mode does not occur. The tests demonstrate that delamination of the facesheet is the primary failure mode of this sandwich structure other than the debonding between the facesheets and core for conventional sandwiches.

Pyramidal lattice sandwich structures with hollow composite trusses

Pyramidal lattice sandwich structures with hollow composite trusses were fabricated using a thermal expansion molding approach. Composite lattice structures with three relative densities were fabricated with two fiber architectures and the out-of-plane compression properties were measured and compared. Lattice cores with a fraction of carbon fibers circumferentially wound around the hollow trusses (Variant 2) exhibited superior mechanical properties compared with similar structures comprised of unidirectional fibers (Variant 1). The out-of-plane compressive properties of composite pyramidal lattice structures in Variant 2 were well-matched by analytical predictions. Unusual strain hardening behavior was observed in the plateau region for Variant 2, and the energy absorption capabilities were measured and compared with the similarly constructed silicone rubber–core truss pyramidal lattice structures (Variant 3). The energy absorption per unit mass of selected hollow truss composite lattice structures reported here surpassed that of both hybrid truss counterparts (Variant 3) and hollow truss metallic lattice structures.     

Cellular Metal Truss Core Sandwich Structures

Closed cell honeycomb core structures are widely used for sandwich panel construction. Periodic open cell tetrahedral truss core structures have recently been shown to possess weight specific properties that compete with those of honeycomb core designs. In contrast to honeycomb, the open cell topologies provide many opportunities for multifunctionality. Past approaches to miniature tetrahedral truss fabrication from metals have utilized investment casting routes. Material choices are then constrained by the need for high fluidity during casting. Strength knockdown due to casting defects has been observed. Here, we utilize a comparatively simple wrought metal based approach. The truss cores are made by deformation shaping hexagonal perforated metal sheets. They are then bonded between thin facesheets using a transient liquid phase approach. When designed to minimize bending of members within the core, a linear dependence of core modulus and strength upon relative density is anticipated. Core relative densities of less than two percent have been obtained. With this approach, low cost truss core structures can be made from a wide variety of heat‐treatable wrought alloys.     

Designing and compression behaviors of ductile hierarchical pyramidal lattice composites

To improve the ductility of lightweight cellular material, hierarchical pyramidal lattice truss composites were designed and manufactured. Rib of the hierarchical pyramidal lattice truss composite is made of glass fiber reinforced woven textile sandwich structure and designed weft-loaded. Flat-wise compression experiments were carried out to explore the strength and deformation mode of the hierarchical pyramidal lattice truss composite. Progressive crushing of the sandwich rib enables the hierarchical lattice composite to have a long stable deformation plateau. Stress of the deformation plateau of the hierarchical lattice composite is rather close to its strength, indicating that the hierarchical lattice composite would have excellent specific energy absorption, even better than aluminum lattice structures. The experiments reveal that the hierarchical structure makes the fiber reinforced lattice composite much more ductile and weight efficient in energy absorption.     

Mechanical behaviour of CFRP sandwich structures with tetrahedral lattice truss cores

A method of manufacturing carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) tetrahedral lattice truss core sandwich structure by thermal expansion silicon rubber mould was developed. The sandwich structure was manufactured integrally without secondary bonding and the silicon rubber mould can be made mass-production with low cost in this approach. The intrinsic property of the CFRP was fully exploited because of carbon fibres aligned in the axial orientation of the truss member. The mechanical properties of CFRP tetrahedral lattice truss core sandwich structures were investigated by flatwise compression and shear test. The experimental results indicate that CFRP tetrahedral lattice truss core sandwich structures have higher weight-specific compressive strength than some metal truss cores, and are competitive with conventional honeycombs.     

Effects of local damage on vibration characteristics of composite pyramidal truss core sandwich structure

The effects of local damage on the natural frequencies and the corresponding vibration modes of composite pyramidal truss core sandwich structures are studied in the present paper. Hot press molding method is used to fabricate intact and damaged pyramidal truss core sandwich structures, and modal testing is carried out to obtain their natural frequencies. A FEM model is also constructed to investigate their vibration characteristics numerically. It is found that the calculated natural frequencies are in relatively good agreement with the measured results. By using the experimentally validated FEM model, a series of numerical analyses are conducted to further explore the effects of damage extent, damage location, damage form on the vibration characteristics of composite pyramidal truss core sandwich structures as well as the influence of boundary conditions. The conclusion derived from this study is expected to be useful for analyzing practical problems related to structural health monitoring of composite lattice sandwich structures.
