Force Loading

Formulae are obtained for calculating the deformations of a statically determinate lattice under the action of two types of loads in its plane, depending on the number of panels located along one side of the lattice. Two options for fixing the lattice are analyzed. Cases of kinematic variability of the structure are found. The distribution of forces in the rods of the lattice is shown. The dependences of the force loading of some rods on the design parameters are obtained. Keywords: truss, lattice, deformation, exact solution, deflection, induction, Maple system. [email protected]

AbstractPolymer sandwich structures have high bending stiffness and strength and also low weight. Therefore, they are widely used in the transportation industry. In the conceptual design phase, it is essential to have a method to model the mechanical behavior of the sandwich and its adhesive joints accurately in full-vehicle scale to investigate different structure partitioning strategies. In this paper, a novel approach using finite element modeling is introduced. The sandwich panels are modeled with layered shells and the joint lines with general stiffness matrices. Stiffness parameters of the face-sheets and the core material are obtained via mechanical tests. Stiffness parameters of the joints are determined by using the method of Design of Experiments, where detailed sub-models of the joints serve as a reference. These models are validated with experimental tests of glass-fiber reinforced vinyl ester matrix composite sandwich structure with a foam core. By using two joint designs and three reference geometries, it is shown that the method is suitable to describe the deformation behavior in a full-vehicle scale with sufficient accuracy.
