In this study, a decentralized construction strategy with multiple resonant absorption peaks is proposed to enhance the electrical performance damage tolerance of wave-absorbing honeycomb sandwich structures. The designed sandwich structure shows excellent absorption performance in the 4-18 GHz frequency band, with the effective absorption bandwidth covering the entire band.
Wave-absorbing honeycomb sandwich structure (HSS) is widely used in aviation equipment, playing an important role in the integration of load-bearing and stealth shielding. The high-intensity service of aviation equipment beyond design condition accelerates damage and complicates failure triggers. In this work, a decentralized construction strategy with multiple resonant absorption peaks is proposed to enhance the electrical performance damage tolerance (EDT) of wave-absorbing HSS in 4-18 GHz frequency band. The designed multi resonant absorption peaks for 30 mm thick wave-absorbing honeycomb with 1 mm thick SiO2 fiber reinforced epoxy resin (SiO2f/ER) composites as top and bottom panels occur in the vicinity of 5 GHz, 9 GHz, 13 GHz, and 17 GHz, respectively. When the panel damage area accounts for 72 % or the penetrating damage area accounts for 18 %, the effective absorption bandwidth (EAB) of proposed HSS covers 4-18 GHz, indicating excellent EDT. By analyzing the normalized impedance, Smith chart, as well as power loss density, the excellent EDT is attributed to the pinning effect at each resonant frequency point, which benefits both impedance matching and electromagnetic wave (EMW) attenuation.
