This paper aims to improve the energy absorption performance of stiffness-optimized lattice structures by utilizing a multi-objective surrogate-based size optimization that considers the additive manufacturing (AM) constraints such as the minimum printable size. A truss optimization is first utilized at the unit cell level under static compressive loads for stiffness maximization and two optimized lattice configurations called the Face-Body Centered Cubic (FBCC) lattice and the Octet Cubic (OC) are obtained. A multi-objective size optimization process is then carried out to improve the energy absorption capabilities of those lattice designs using non-linear compression simulations with Nylon12 material to be fabricated by the Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) AM process. Thin plate spline (TPS) interpolation method is found to produce very high accuracy as the surrogate model to predict the highly nonlinear response surfaces of energy absorption objectives in the optimization. Compared to the lattice designs with uniform strut diameters, by using the optimization process, the maximum energy absorption efficiency ( EAEm) and the crush stress efficiency ( CSE) of the OC lattice design are further improved up to 33% and 37%, respectively. The FBCC lattice design is also found to have superior EAEm performance compared to the existing lattice types considered for fabricating by the MJF process in the literature.

In recent years, cellular structures have attracted great deal of attention of many researchers due to their unique properties like exhibiting high strength at low density and great energy absorption. Also, the applications of cellular structures (or lattice structures) such as wing airfoil, tire, fiber and implant, are mainly used in aerospace, automotive, textile and biomedical industries respectively. In this investigation, the idea of using cellular structures in pipes made of acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) material was focused on and four different pipe types were designed as honeycomb structure model, straight rib pattern model, hybrid version of the first two models and fully solid model. Subsequently, these models were 3D printed by using FDM method and these lightweight pipes were subjected to compression tests in order to obtain stress-strain curves of these structures. Mechanical properties of lightweight pipes like elasticity modulus, specific modulus, compressive strength, specific compressive strength, absorbed energy and specific absorbed energy were calculated and compared to each other. Moreover, deformation modes were recorded during all compression tests and reported as well. The results showed that pipe models including lattice wall thickness could be preferred for the applications which don’t require too high compressive strength and their specific energy absorption values were notably capable to compete with fully solid pipe structures. In particular, rib shape lattice structure had the highest elongation while the fully solid one possessed worst ductility. Lastly, it is pointed out that 3D printing method provides a great opportunity to have a foresight about production of uncommon parts by prototyping.

The Moment

Due to thin skins and soft core, it is apt to local indentation inducing the concurrence of geometrical and material nonlinearity in sandwich structures. In the paper, finite element simulation is used to investigate the bending behavior of lightweight sandwich beams under large deflection. A modified formulation for the moment at mid-span section of sandwich beams under large deflection is presented, and energy absorption performance is assessed based on energy absorption efficiency. In addition, it is found that no local indentation arises initially, while later that increases gradually with loading displacement increasing. The height of the mid-span section as well as load-carrying capacity decreases significantly with local indentation depth increasing.

AbstractThe understanding of dynamic failure mechanisms in bulk metallic glasses is important for the application of this class of materials to a variety of engineering problems. This is true not only for design environments in which components are subject to high loading rates, but also when components are subjected to quasi-static loading conditions where observations have been made of damage propagation occurring in an unstable, highly dynamic manner. This paper presents preliminary results of a study of the phenomena of dynamic crack initiation and growth as well as the phenomenon of dynamic localization (shear band formation) in a beryllium-bearing bulk metallic glass, Zr41.25Ti13.75Ni10Cu12.75Be22.5. Pre-notched and prefatigued plate specimens were subjected to quasi-static and dynamic three-point bend loading to investigate crack initiation and propagation. Asymmetric impact loading with a gas gun was used to induce dynamic shear band growth. The mechanical fields in the vicinity of the dynamically loaded crack or notch tip were characterized using high-speed optical diagnostic techniques. The results demonstrated a dramatic increase in the crack initiation toughness with loading rate and subsequent crack tip speeds approaching 1000 m s−1. Dynamic crack tip branching was also observed under certain conditions. Shear bands formed readily under asymmetric impact loading. The shear bands traveled at speeds of approximately 1300 m s−1 and were accompanied by intense localized heating measured using high-speed full-field infrared imaging. The maximum temperatures recorded across the shear bands were in excess of 1500 K.

The present paper deals with the deformation and failure mechanisms of austenitic piping under the influence of oxyhydrogen reactions for the safety evaluation of incident scenarios in technical installations based on previous work of the author [1–5]. For the characterization of the processes, detonation tests performed at the Materials Testing Institute University of Stuttgart (MPA Stuttgart) have been used. The aim of these experiments was to study the detonation processes in head spray cooling piping of boiling water reactors. The experiments were performed on austenitic pipes with an outer diameter of O. D. = 114.3 mm and various wall thicknesses. Oxyhydrogen was used in its stoichiometric ratio of 2H2+O2 mixed with various amounts of an inert gas component. These tests have shown that less amounts of reactive gas may result in a stronger reaction of the pipe structure. This observation is attributed to the influence of the so-called overdriven detonation. Depending on the ratio of oxyhydrogen to the inert gas component and the pipe-wall thickness, adiabatic shear bands can occur in the piping structure. Adiabatic shear bands are very narrow zones with intense localized shear deformations due to the conversion of a significant portion of strain energy into heat. In order to describe this phenomenon numerically, a strain-based failure model was used which can reflect material damage over a wide range of different stress states. However, it has shown that damage of the studied material depends significantly on the Lode angle. Furthermore, no clear dependence of the failure limit on the loading rate has been found for the studied material. For the constitutive description of the material behavior under the occurring loading rates and temperatures suitable material models were selected and the required parameters have been evaluated experimentally and verified by numerical methods. With the aid of this constitutive description of the material behavior and the failure model numerical simulations of the detonation tests were carried out.
