Experimental and numerical investigations on laser-welded corrugated-core sandwich panels subjected to air blast loading

Experimental investigations on the laser-welded triangular corrugated core sandwich panels and equivalent solid plates subjected to air blast loading are presented. The experiments were conducted in an explosion tank considering three levels of blast loading. Results show that the maximum deflection, core web buckling and core compaction increased as the decrease of stand-off distance. Back face deflections of sandwich panels were found to be nearly half that of equivalent solid plates at the stand-off distances of 100 mm and 150 mm. At the closest stand-off distance of 50 mm, the panel was found to fracture and fail catastrophically. Autodyn-based numerical simulations were conducted to investigate the dynamic response of sandwich panels. A good agreement was observed between the numerical calculations and experimental results. The model captured most of the deformation/failure modes of panels. Finally, the effects of face sheet thickness and core web thickness on the dynamic response of sandwich panel were discussed.     

Y型激光焊接夹层板抗爆性能分析

金属基折叠式夹层板具有优良的抗冲击性能,Y型激光焊接夹层板(Y-LASCOR)作为其中一种新型结构,需对其抗爆性能进行分析研究.本文基于非线性有限元软件MSC.Dytran开展水下爆炸冲击波载荷作用下Y-LASCOR的抗爆性能研究,并在此基础上研究Y-LASCOR的主要尺寸参数对其抗爆性能的影响.研究结果表明,Y-LASCOR在水下爆炸冲击波载荷作用下,下面板发生膜拉伸变形,夹芯层发生压皱变形,对上面板起到缓冲作用,降低了上面板的损伤变形,改善了结构吸能效率,表现出了优良的抗爆性能;上、下面板厚度t(l),tb和夹芯壁厚tc在一定范围内可以有效改善Y-LASCOR的抗爆性能;夹芯层高度H对结构抗爆性能的影响不大.     

空中爆炸载荷下PVC泡沫夹芯板动态响应分析

基于 Abaqus/Explicit,计算分析 PVC夹芯板在空爆载荷作用下的动态响应,考察夹芯板上面板厚度、芯层高度及炸药当量对其抗爆性能的影响,并从能量吸收的角度分析不同工况下 PVC夹芯板的吸能特性。数值结果表明夹芯板的动态响应对其结构配置比较敏感,增加上面板厚度及芯层高度可以明显减小下面板挠度,从而提高结构的抗爆性能。夹芯板的总体吸能量与上面板厚度密切相关,与芯层高度没有明显关联,减小上面板厚度可以提高结构的总体吸能量;在相同工况下,增加上面板厚度可以提高上面板吸能占比,增加芯层高度可以提高芯层吸能占比。在炸药当量较小时,夹芯板变形以上面板局部弯曲及芯层压缩为主;当炸药当量较大时,夹芯板变形以整体弯曲变形为主。研究结果对PVC夹芯板抗爆性能的优化设计具有一定的参考价值。

Test of extensively damaged hybrid ship hull

A hybrid ship hull model made with a steel truss and composite sandwich panels was tested and analyzed with the goal of gaining insight into how well this structural concept holds up after major damage. One of the ideas of the concept was to mount the sandwich panels to the steel truss such that they can be blown out in a controlled fashion to ventilate a large internal blast. The hull should be designed to have sufficient strength for the ship to reach a port safely even after such extensive damage. A 6-m model of such a hybrid ship hull, consisting of a stainless steel truss and 60 composite sandwich panels, was manufactured and mechanically tested. A number of panels were then removed one by one and the hull was retested to the design load after each panel had been removed. The removed panels simulated major damage. After nine panels had been removed, from all the different areas of the hull, it could still carry the design load, although with considerable nonreversible deformations of the hull girder. The hull was eventually loaded to final failure, which occurred at 25% above the design load.

Comparison of aluminium sandwiches for lightweight ship structures: Honeycomb vs. foam

The use of lightweight aluminium sandwiches in the shipbuilding industry represents an attractive and interesting solution to the increasing environmental demands. The aim of this paper was the comparison of static and low-velocity impact response of two aluminium sandwich typologies: foam and honeycomb sandwiches. The parameters which influence the static and dynamic response of the investigated aluminium sandwiches and their capacity of energy absorption were analysed. Quasi – static indentation tests were carried out and the effect of indenter shape has been investigated. The indentation resistance depends on the nose geometry and is strongly influenced by the cell diameter and by the skin – core adhesion for the honeycomb and aluminium foam sandwich panels, respectively. The static bending tests, performed at different support span distances on sandwich panels with the same nominal size, produced various collapse modes and simplified theoretical models were applied to explain the observed collapse modes. The capacity of energy dissipation under bending loading is affected by the collapse mechanism and also by the face-core bonding and the cell size for foam and honeycomb panels, respectively. A series of low-velocity impact tests were, also, carried out and a different collapse mechanism was observed for the two typologies of aluminium sandwiches: the collapse of honeycomb sandwiches occurred for the buckling of the cells and is strongly influenced by the cell size, whereas the aluminium foam sandwiches collapsed for the foam crushing and their energy absorbing capacity depends by the foam quality. It is assumed that a metal foam has good quality if it has many cells of similar size without relevant defects. A clear influence of cell size distribution and morphological parameters on foam properties has not yet been established because it has not yet been possible to control these parameters in foam making. The impact response of the honeycomb and foam sandwiches was investigated using a theoretical approach, based on the energy balance model and the model parameters were obtained by the tomographic analyses of the impacted panels. The present study is a step towards the application of aluminium sandwich structures in the shipbuilding.

在国外,激光焊接钢质夹层结构已用于实船,其连接构件的强度特性是尚待解决的关键问题之一.应用有限元分析软件ANSYS,研究2种典型连接构件的面外强度特性及灵敏度.计算中,为降低计算规模,采用MPC壳体连接和子模型分析技术;进行灵敏度分析时,为减少大量方案计算所需的繁琐人工操作,应用Matlab驱动ANSYS,以批处理方式的有限元分析计算各方案的响应值.计算结果显示,在普通焊接接头处存在一定的应力集中.在控制结构重量的条件下,若要降低接头的应力集中系数,对于内嵌方框型连接构件而言,增大连接构件长度和夹层端部面板长度最为有效,增大水平板厚度也有一定的作用;对于外接平板型连接构件而言,最有效的途径是增大连接构件的厚度,并选取合适的连接构件长度.     

等效刚度法计算波纹夹层板弯曲变形与应力

[目的]为探索波纹夹层板弯曲问题的计算方法,求解波纹夹层板的弯曲变形与应力,提出一种等效刚度法。[方法]将波纹夹层板中间芯层等效成正交异性体,应用卡氏定理求解芯层的等效弹性模量,最后应用层合板理论计算夹层板的整体刚度。依据夹层板的整体刚度,求解正交异性板的弯曲平衡方程,计算出夹层板的弯曲变形分布;通过求出的变形,应用虎克定律,即可推导夹层板的弯曲应力分布。[结果]通过算例验证,与文献[7]的方法相比,本文方法计算的刚度误差为-6.98%;与有限元法相比,本文方法计算的夹层板变形最大误差为-2.01%,应力最大误差为3.63%。[结论]这种分层累加计算整体刚度的方法,不仅可避免完全直接采用文献[7]的方法计算刚度时的复杂繁琐推导,而且用于弯曲计算还可获得较好的精度。

Laser-welded web-core sandwich plates under patch loading

This paper presents an approach to the structural analysis of patch-loaded, laser-welded web-core sandwich plates. This approach is especially suitable for the concept design phase of ship structures. The method consists of two parts; the global bending response is evaluated using sandwich plate theory and the local response of the patch-loaded face plate is determined with the help of basic plate theory. Both analyses utilise analytical and numerical methods and include the effect of the rotation stiffness of the laser-welded T-joint between the face and web plate. Combining the results of these two analyses gives the total response of the web-core sandwich plate. The results of the proposed approach are compared to those given by 3D solid and shell element FE analyses and the agreement of deflections and normal stresses is found to be good. The sensitivity of the response to patch-load size, T-joint rotation stiffness, and plate aspect ratio is studied. The main benefits of the proposed approach are its short analysis time and the good accuracy of deflections and stresses. This considered advantageous when applied to the design of large ship structures such as hoistable car decks.
