IsoTruss超轻复合材料结构制造及力学性能测试

Fabrication and mechanical property test of IsoTruss ultra-lightweight composite structures

  • 摘要: IsoTruss是一种结合了轻质材料与轻质构型双重优势的新型超轻复合材料结构。为分析和验证其力学性能,在分析和总结IsoTruss结构构型特征和制造工艺的基础上,设计了一套柔性成型模具。采用该模具,运用湿法缠绕工艺和芳纶纤维强化工艺,制造了8节点单重IsoTruss构件,并测试了试件的轴压、弯曲和扭转力学性能。轴压试验结果显示,IsoTruss试件平均压缩刚度质量比为1944.8 (kN/mm)/kg,平均压缩强度质量比为833.8 kN/kg,达到同类构件性能,且高于相近外形尺寸的复合材料格栅柱状结构,验证了所采用的工艺方案和所设计的柔性模具能够满足IsoTruss结构的制造需求。

     

    Abstract: IsoTruss is a new ultra-lightweight composite structure, combining the advantage of lightweight material and structure. The structural features of IsoTruss were analyzed and the manufacturing process was summarized in this paper. Based on the structural features of IsoTruss, a flexible mandrel was designed and manufactured. 8-node single IsoTruss specimens were filament wound using the flexible mandrel and IsoTruss members were consolidated with aramid fiber. The compression test, bending test and torsion test were carried out to evaluate mechanical properties of IsoTruss specimens. The results of the compression test show that the average stiffness-to-mass ratio is 1 944.8 (kN/mm)/kg, and the average strength-to-mass ratio is 833.8 kN/kg, which achieve the performance of this type of composite structures and are higher than composite grid structures. Furthermore, the test results also indicate that the flexible mandrel, cooperated with consolidation using aramid fibre, can fabricate IsoTruss structures with high mechanical properties.
