In this paper, bio-based sandwich panels made of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) skins and two types of paper honeycomb core (namely, hollow and foam-filled) with three different thicknesses (namely, 6 mm, 12 mm, and 25 mm) were studied. Flax FRP composites made of a unidirectional plant-based flax fabric and bio-based epoxy resin (30% bio content) were used for the skins. The panels were cut into a total of 36 sandwich beam specimens with the width of 50 mm and tested under four-point bending with two span configurations to characterize the flexural and shear stiffness of the panels. The specimens with foam-filled paper honeycomb cores showed a higher load capacity than those with hollow honeycomb, however their stiffnesses were not fundamentally different. Major non-linearity was observed in the load-deflection and load-strain behavior of the specimens. An analytical model was successfully developed based on the non-linearity of the skins in tension/compression and the core in shear to predict the non-linear behavior of the specimens. A parametric study was performed on different geometrical parameters and it was shown that contribution and bending and shear changes and it can be engineered to achieve desirable strength and stiffness. Overall, the bio-based sandwich panels can be used for interior walls, doors, and furniture in building application with much less impact on the environment in comparison with their synthetic counterparts.

A semi-analytical method for vibration localization of plates integrated with low-frequency plate-type resonators
Jian Xue, Weiwei Zhang, Jing Wu, Chao Wang, Hongwei Ma
Summary: This study integrates a plate-type local resonator with varying free boundaries within a plate to convert the initial low-order global vibration modes into localized vibration modes. A novel semi-analytical method is proposed to analyze the free vibration of the plate with thickness and displacement discontinuities. The results show that by applying free boundary conditions, the low-order localized vibration frequencies can be significantly reduced without affecting the low-order global frequencies.

Bending behavior of 3D printed sandwich structures with different core geometries and thermal aging durations
Merve Tunay
Summary: In recent years, there has been an increasing number of studies on the mechanical properties of sandwich structures manufactured with the Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) method. However, there is still a lack of experimental data on the mechanical characteristics of FDM-manufactured sandwich structures under different thermal aging durations. In this experiment, the energy absorption capabilities of sandwich structures with different core geometries were investigated under various thermal aging durations. The results showed that the core topology significantly influenced the energy absorption abilities of the sandwich structures.

Design method of axial compression stability for cross-section corrugated plate steel special-shaped column
Zi-qin Jiang, Zi-yao Niu, Ai-Lin Zhang, Xue-chun Liu
Summary: This paper proposes a crosssection corrugated plate steel special-shaped column (CCSC) that improves the bearing capacity and overall stability of structural columns by using smaller material input. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the overall stability of the CCSC under axial compression is analyzed. The design method and suggestions for the stability of CCSC are put forward. Compared with conventional square steel tube columns, the CCSC has obvious advantages in overall stability and steel consumption.

Protective performance of hybrid triply periodic minimal surface lattice structure
Yong Zhang, Yangang Chen, Jixiang Li, Jiacheng Wu, Liang Qian, Yuanqiang Tan, Kunyuan Li, Guoyao Zeng
Summary: A hybrid TPMS method was proposed to develop a new TPMS structure, and the mechanical properties of different TPMS structures were studied experimentally and numerically. Results showed that the hybrid TPMS structure had higher energy absorption and lower load-carrying capacity fluctuation. Further investigations revealed that the topological shape and material distribution had significant influence on mechanical properties, and the hybrid additive TPMS structure exhibited significant crashworthiness advantage in in-plane crushing condition.

Experimental and analytical studies on a novel double-stage coupling damper
Tongfei Sun, Ye Liu, Kaoshan Dai, Alfredo Camara, Yujie Lu, Lijie Wang
Summary: This paper presents a series of experimental and numerical studies on the performance of a novel double-stage coupling damper (DSCD). The effects of damper configuration, friction-yield ratio (Rfy), and loading protocol on the hysteresis performance of the DSCD are investigated. The test results demonstrate that the arrangement of ribs in the DSCD increases its energy dissipation capacity. Numerical analysis reveals that the length of the friction mechanism and the clearance between the yield segment and the restraining system affect the energy dissipation and stability of the damper.

Agha Intizar Mehdi, Fengping Zhang, Moon-Young Kim
Summary: A spatial stability theory of mono-symmetric thin-walled steel beams pre-stressed by spatially inclined cables is derived and its validity is demonstrated through numerical examples. The effects of initial tension, deviator numbers, inclined cable profiles, and bonded/un-bonded conditions on lateral-torsional buckling of the pre-stressed beams are investigated, with a specific emphasis on the effects of increasing initial tension.

Study on structural response of water-back plate under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads generated by cylindrical charge in deep-water environment
Teng Ma, Jinxiang Wang, Liangtao Liu, Heng Li, Kui Tang, Yangchen Gu, Yifan Zhang
Summary: The structural response of water-back plate under the combined action of shock wave and bubble loads at water depths of 1-300 m was numerically investigated using an arbitrary Lagrange-Euler method. The accuracy of the numerical model was validated by comparing with experimental and theoretical results. The influences of water depth and length-to-diameter ratio of the charge on the combined damage effect were analyzed. The results show that as water depth increases, the plastic deformation energy of the water-back plate decreases, and the permanent deformation mode changes from convex to concave. When the charge has a large length-to-diameter ratio, the plastic deformation energy of the radial plate is higher than that of the axial plate, and the difference decreases with increasing water depth. Increasing the length-to-diameter ratio enhances the combined damage effect in the radial direction in deep-water environments.

Experimental and numerical investigation on cold-formed steel zed section beams with complex edge stiffeners
Qiu-Yun Li, Ben Young
Summary: This paper investigates the flexural performance of CFS zed section members bent about the neutral axis parallel to the flanges through experimental and numerical analysis. The results show that the current direct strength method generally provides conservative predictions for the flexural strength of unstiffened zed section members, but slightly unconservative design for edge-stiffened zed section beams. The nominal flexural strengths of zed section members with edge stiffeners were found to be underestimated by 17% to 21% on average. Modified DSM formulae are recommended for the design of CFS zed section beams.

Experimental study on Q355 steel T-stubs connected through high-strength ring groove rivets
Fei Gao, Zongyi Wang, Rui Zhu, Zhenming Chen, Quanxi Ye, Yaqi Duan, Yunlong Jia, Qin Zhang
Summary: This research investigates the mechanical properties of high-strength ring groove rivet assemblies and the load resistances of riveted T-stubs. Experimental tests reveal that Grade 10.9 rivets have higher yield strength and strain, and lower ultimate strain, making them suitable for high-strength ring groove rivet connections. Increasing the rivet diameter benefits the T-stubs, while increasing the flange thickness is not always advantageous. The Eurocode 3 method is not suitable for T-stubs connected through ring groove rivets, while the Demonceau method is conservative.
