纤维带增强复合材料夹芯曲梁的弯曲性能

Bending performance of fiber tape-reinforced composite sandwich curved beams

  • 摘要: 复合材料夹芯结构广泛应用于飞机整流罩等曲面结构件,但在引入纤维带增强后,结构曲率对纤维带增强夹芯曲梁力学行为及变形模式的影响尚不清晰。为此,基于三维有限元模型,研究了纤维带增强碳纤维/铝蜂窝夹芯曲梁的力学性能与变形机制,并通过夹芯直梁三点弯曲试验验证了数值模型的准确性。在此基础上,研究了曲率、纤维带增强效应、芯体壁厚及面板厚度对曲梁力学性能的影响。结果显示,随曲率增加,夹芯曲梁初始破坏阶段的载荷平台期显著延长;纤维带的强化效率呈非单调变化趋势,其中直梁的强化效果最为显著,峰值载荷提升约 18.9%;增加芯体壁厚能有效延缓屈曲失稳与剪切带扩展,但易加剧面板应力集中并诱发塑性铰破坏;增加面板厚度虽能提升极限载荷 80% 以上,但在高曲率与大厚度面板共同作用下,纤维带易因过载断裂导致载荷剧烈波动。研究表明,芯体剪切带扩展与纤维带协同变形的耦合作用,是影响不同曲率的纤维带增强夹芯曲梁变形行为的主要因素。

     

    Abstract: Composite sandwich structures are widely applied in curved structural components, such as aircraft radomes. However, the influence of structural curvature on the mechanical behavior and deformation modes of fiber-tape reinforced sandwich curved beams remains unclear. Therefore, the mechanical properties and deformation mechanisms of fiber-tape reinforced carbon fiber/aluminum honeycomb sandwich curved beams were investigated based on a three-dimensional finite element model. The accuracy of the numerical model was validated through three-point bending tests on sandwich straight beams. On this basis, the effects of curvature, fiber-tape reinforcement efficiency, core wall thickness, and face sheet thickness on the mechanical performance of the curved beams were studied. As the curvature increased, the load plateau in the initial failure stage of the sandwich curved beams was significantly extended. The reinforcement efficiency of the fiber tapes followed a non-monotonic trend; the most pronounced effect was observed in straight beams, where the peak load increased by approximately 18.9%. Increased core wall thickness effectively delayed buckling instability and shear band expansion, but it intensified face sheet stress concentration and induced plastic hinge failure. Although increasing face sheet thickness enhanced the ultimate load by over 80%, the combination of high curvature and large face sheet thickness caused the fiber tapes to fracture due to overloading, resulting in severe load fluctuations. The results indicate that the coupling between core shear band expansion and fiber-tape synergetic deformation is the primary factor influencing the deformation behavior of fiber-tape reinforced sandwich curved beams across various curvatures.
