Sandwich panels with an energy-absorbing core material have exhibited great potential in lightweight structures for blast protection. In this study, the deformation/failure modes of sandwich panels against blast impulse were investigated experimentally. The blast tests were conducted on the aluminum foam-core sandwich panels with different facesheet materials, namely aluminum alloy, steel, and carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP); and the cores involve uniform foam and graded foam. The deformation modes of the whole sandwich panels as well as the front facesheet, foam core, and back facesheet were analyzed systematically. It is shown that the deformation patterns are fairly sensitive to the impulse intensity, facesheet material, and foam core gradient. Based upon the measurements, the back facesheet deflection increases linearly with the impulse, apart from the petal-tearing failure of front facesheet. When considering the specific impulse and the same metallic back facesheets, the blast resistance of the sandwich specimen with CFRP front facesheet is superior to these of the metallic front facesheet specimens. Interestingly, the sandwich panels with the aluminum front and steel back facesheet perform better in blast resistance than those with the steel front and aluminum back facesheet. The blast resistance of sandwich panels with a positive gradient of core density (i.e. core density linearly decreased along the blast direction) is superior to those with a negative gradient of core density; and the performance increases with increasing density difference. Compared with the uniform core, the positively-graded foam core with a larger density difference exhibits a stronger blast resistance, while those with a smaller density difference present a weaker blast resistance, The study is expected to provide some fundamental data and design guide for a more efficient sandwich structure with lighter weight and higher capacity of blast protection.

Effect of thermal and hydrothermal aging on the crashworthiness of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite tubes

Wen Zuo, Quantian Luo, Qing Li, Guangyong Sun

Summary: Thin-walled structures made of fiber reinforced composites are commonly used in engineering practice, but there is limited research on their residual properties after high temperature and hygrothermal aging. This experimental investigation aims to study the effects of moisture absorption and high temperatures on the mechanical characteristics of fiber reinforced plastic composite tubes. The study found that crashworthiness characteristics decrease significantly with increased temperature and moisture absorption rate. The failure modes varied and were influenced by the glass transition temperature of the matrix. Moisture absorption had two stages and was affected by temperature. Microscopically, the morphology and bonding conditions between fiber and resin changed significantly due to temperature and hydrothermal aging.

Collision-avoidance lane change control method for enhancing safety for connected vehicle platoon in mixed traffic environment

Yitao Ma, Qiang Liu, Jie Fu, Kangmin Liufu, Qing Li

Summary: In a mixed traffic environment, connected vehicle platoons face a high risk of collision in lane change scenarios due to the lack of communication and collaboration with surrounding non-connected vehicles. Therefore, a collision-avoidance lane change control method is proposed for a connected bus platoon to safely elude non-connected vehicles. This method utilizes a sensor system with multiple sensors in longitudinal and lateral directions and a platoon controller based on vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication. Experimental results show that the proposed method significantly improves the safety of platoon vehicles in mixed traffic scenarios.

AK-HRn: An efficient adaptive Kriging-based n-hypersphere rings method for structural reliability analysis

Dapeng Wang, Dequan Zhang, Yuan Meng, Meide Yang, Chuizhou Meng, Xu Han, Qing Li

Summary: With the increasing complexity of engineering problems, traditional reliability analysis methods face challenges in terms of computational efficiency and accuracy. The Kriging model, a surrogate model, has been widely used in reliability analysis due to its advantages in computational efficiency and numerical accuracy. However, there are still significant issues with the Kriging model-assisted reliability analysis, such as the need for a large candidate sample pool and excessive local prediction accuracy. To address these issues, a new method called AK-HRn, which combines adaptive Kriging and n-hypersphere rings, is proposed in this study. The AK-HRn method demonstrates high efficiency and robustness in solving complex reliability analysis problems.

Phase field fracture model for additively manufactured metallic materials

Cunyi Li, Jianguang Fang, Yuheng Wan, Na Qiu, Grant Steven, Qing Li

Summary: This study aims to develop a phase field framework for simulating the complex mechanical behaviors of laser powder bed fusion printed metallic materials. By considering the microstructural orientation induced by laser powder bed fusion, transversely isotropic Hill48 and modified Mohr-Coulomb constitutive models are incorporated to describe plasticity and fracture behaviors respectively. The proposed phase field model is able to better reproduce force-displacement responses of all specimens by considering the stress state-dependent crack initiation. Moreover, applying a transversely isotropic fracture model is necessary to accurately predict the crack path and global force-displacement responses.

Multi-objective optimization of additive manufactured functionally graded lattice structures under impact

Konstantin Kappe, Klaus Hoschke, Werner Riedel, Stefan Hiermaier

Summary: This paper presents a multi-objective optimization procedure for effectively designing gradient lattice structures under dynamic loading. The aim is to maximize energy absorption characteristics and achieve a lightweight design. Through considering design variables such as the relative density and density gradient, the peak crushing force reduction and maximized specific energy absorption are simultaneously optimized. A simplified beam-based finite element model is used to efficiently model and simulate the lattice structures. An artificial neural network is trained to predict energy absorbing characteristics and find optimal lattice structure configurations. The network is trained using a multi response adaptive sampling algorithm, allowing parallel simulation with automatically generated finite element models. A multi-objective genetic algorithm is then used to find optimal combinations of design parameters for lattice structures under different impact velocities and cell topologies.
