Introducing a new hybrid surface strut-based lattice structure with enhanced energy absorption capacity

Hussain Gharehbaghi et al.

Summary: The present study aims to assess a new lattice structure with high energy absorption capacity. Lattice structures with surface-based unit cell have higher energy absorption than those with strut-based unit cell. A new lattice structure is presented by adding the strut to the surface-based unit cell which has a higher energy absorption capacity than the lattice structures with surface-based unit cell. First, the high energy absorption capacity of surface-based lattice structures was evaluated by adding the strut. Such analyzes are conducted by providing a numerical model which considers the elasto-plasto-damage properties of materials under tension and compression. Then, a number of experimental samples were made using additive manufacturing and the compression test was performed. The results of finite element analysis were consistent with those of the experimental results. Based on the results, adding strut increased the energy absorption for surface-based lattice structures by about 106%. Finally, the effect of the ratio of geometric parameters of the unit cell on its mechanical behavior was evaluated.

Mechanical performance of 3D-printing annular honeycomb with tailorable Poisson's ratio

Ning Feng et al.

Summary: This paper reports a new annular honeycomb structure with tunable Poisson's ratio. The honeycomb provides both in-plane negative Poisson's ratio and in-plane zero Poisson's ratio by changing the shape of the honeycomb core. The mechanical properties of the developed honeycomb core, constructed by an annulus with four ligaments distributed bi-axial symmetrically, are investigated using theoretical models based on Castigliano's Second Theorem and energy principle. Experimental results and finite element analysis validate the effectiveness of the developed models.

An experimental and numerical investigation on the performance of novel hybrid bio-inspired 3D printed lattice structures for stiffness and energy absorption applications

Ramakrishna Doodi et al.

Summary: The modern additive manufacturing process allows for the production of lattice structures with improved mechanical properties. Understanding the designability of lattice geometries and their compressive strength is crucial for the commercial application of lightweight lattice structures. Inspired by the overlapping pattern of fish scales and circular patterns observed in bamboo structures, a novel hybrid lattice structure was developed. Different lattice cell designs with varying overlapping areas and unit wall thickness were modeled and 3D-printed. The compressive response of the printed specimens was tested and compared to simulation results, and the best lattice structure was selected for energy absorption applications in aerospace and defense sectors.

Study of Equivalent Mechanical Properties and Energy Absorption of Composite Honeycomb Structures

Amin Farrokhabadi et al.

Summary: In this study, an analytical model based on classical laminate theory is proposed to predict the mechanical characteristics of 3D printed fiber-reinforced PLA honeycomb structures. The results show that using fiber-reinforced PLA can lead to higher rigidity and strength compared to pure isotropic materials. Tensile tests and finite element studies are conducted to verify the model, and good agreement is found between experimental, numerical, and analytical results. The study also examines the impact of using commingled yarn and conducts compression tests to evaluate the energy absorption capacity of the structures.

Evaluation of the equivalent mechanical properties in a novel composite cruciform honeycomb using analytical and numerical methods

Amin Farrokhabadi et al.

Summary: A novel theoretical model is developed based on the energy method to predict the equivalent mechanical properties of a new morphing structure with zero Poisson's ratio. The use of glass fiber in the proposed cruciform honeycomb structure results in higher strength compared to structures made of isotropic materials. Geometric effects on the equivalent properties are examined through a parametric study, and appropriate failure criteria are used to obtain the tensile and compressive strength of the structure. The extracted properties are then utilized in nonlinear analysis to enhance the performance of morphing structures under different loads, with validation through experimental tests and finite element methods.
