Parametric effects of low-velocity impact response and damage mode of aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels
-
摘要: 以铝蜂窝夹层板为对象,通过低速落锤试验及包含面板、胶层及蜂窝的细节仿真模型,探究了蜂窝胞元直径、蜂窝壁厚、面板厚度及冲头半径参数影响下低速冲击响应曲线及损伤模式的变化情况,确定在试验工况下的3种损伤模式:芯层屈曲、芯层剪切及夹层板穿透,其中芯层剪切模式具有更好的吸能分布。结果表明:蜂窝胞元直径与蜂窝壁厚对冲击响应与损伤模式具有类似的影响,面板厚度增加可以较大程度地提升抗冲击性能,冲头半径的大小会显著影响损伤模式。在此基础上建立与上述参数相关的损伤模式极限载荷公式,绘制相应的损伤模式图,为铝蜂窝夹层板的抗冲击设计提供参考。Abstract: Taking the aluminum honeycomb sandwich panel as the object, through the low-speed drop weight test and the detailed simulation model including the panel, the adhesive layer and the honeycomb, the changes of low-speed impact response curve and damage mode under the influence of the honeycomb cell diameter, honeycomb wall thickness, panel thickness and punch radius parameters were studied. Three damage modes under the test conditions were determined: Core buckling, core shear and sandwich panel penetration, among which the core shear mode has better energy absorption distribution. The results show that the honeycomb cell diameter and the honeycomb wall thickness have similar effects on the impact response and damage mode. The increase of the panel thickness can greatly improve the impact resistance, and the size of the punch radius will significantly affect the damage mode. On this basis, the damage mode limit load formula related to the above parameters was established, and the corresponding damage mode diagram was drawn to provide a reference for the impact resistance design of aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels.
