摘要:
复合材料-金属-泡沫混杂防护结构作为一种新型的吸能结构,结合了复合材料高强度、低密度,金属材料低成本、高韧性和多孔材料稳定变形等优点,在汽车轻量化设计中显示出广阔应用前景。由于不同组分在压溃过程中存在复杂交互作用,其变形模式和相应的吸能机制尚未被完全揭示,为其结构优化设计带了巨大挑战,进一步阻碍了其在汽车领域的推广及应用。本文在实验室条件下制备了单一碳纤维(CF)管件、单一铝管(Al)、单一泡沫铝柱体(Af)、铝-泡沫(Al-Af)及碳纤维-铝合金-泡沫铝(CF-Al-Af)混杂管件,并对其分别开展了轴向(0°)和斜向(10°)准静态压溃实验。结果表明Al-Af混杂管件在轴向和斜向工况下的能量吸收均高于单一组分之和;CF-Al-Af混杂管在斜向工况下的吸能开始超过单一组分之和,说明混杂管件能够产生“1+1>2”的吸能效果。经分析发现单一Al管在轴向和斜向工况下均发生“对称+钻石”混合型变形模式,而混杂管中的Al管在内部Af和外部CF的作用下发生了更为稳定的“对称型”的变形模式,进而促进了混杂管件整体抗压溃能力的提升。最后基于实验结果建立了CF-Al-Af混杂管件及其单一组分轴向工况下的压溃平均载荷的理论预测模型,为后续继续开展其在多工况下的耐撞性设计提供了实验数据及模型支撑。 (a)轴向和(b)斜向加载下碳纤维(CF)-铝合金(Al)-泡沫铝(Af)混杂管件中铝管承载能力提升的机制 Abstract: This study aims to explore the crushing deformation characteristics and underlying energy dissipating mechanisms of carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP)-aluminum-aluminum foam hybrid tubes under both axial (0°) and oblique (10°) loads. Quasi-static compressive tests for net CFRP tubes, net aluminum (Al) tubes, net aluminum foams (Af), Al-Af hybrid tubes and CFRP-Al-Af hybrid tubes were performed first; the energy absorptions of the Al-Af hybrid columns are always higher than that of the sum net parts under loading angles of 0° and 10°; the energy absorption of the CF-Al-Af hybrid columns reduces under a 0° loading angle while improves remarkably under a 10° loading angle compared with the sum of net parts. Next, numerical models for these hybrid tubes and the corresponding net parts were developed in LS-DYNA, and numerical results indicate that the energy absorption improvement of Al tubes promotes the load-carrying enhancement of Al-Af and CF-Al-Af hybrid tubes, because the Al tubes in hybrid happen more stable symmetric deformation compared with the “symmetric-diamond” hybrid deformation of the net Al tubes; whereas the energy absorption reductions of external CF tubes primarily decrease energy absorption of CF-Al-Af hybrid tubes, because the CFRP tubes in the hybrid occur axial splitting failure due to compressions of inner Al tubes. Finally, the analytical models on mean crushing forces for CF-Al-Af hybrid columns and corresponding net components under axial load were developed, and the results indicate that the developed analytical models can better predict the mean crushing forces of both hybrid columns and net parts.-
