Multi-objective optimal design of sandwich composite laminates consisting of high stiffness and expensive surface layers and low-stiffness and inexpensive core layer is addressed in this paper. The object is to determine ply angles and number of surface layers and core thickness in such way that natural frequency is maximized with minimal material cost and weight. A simulated annealing algorithm with finite element method is used for simultaneous cost and weight minimization and frequency maximization. The proposed procedure is applied to Graphite-Epoxy/Glass-Epoxy and Graphite-epoxy/Aluminum sandwich laminates and results are obtained for various boundary conditions and aspect ratios. Results show that this technique is useful in designing of effective, competitive and light composite structures.

ABSTRACTIn the present study a new sandwich laminate is designed and mechanically characterized. The laminate is elaborated with a core of particulate composite material consisting of recycled material from milk and juice cartons (multilayer laminate of Tetra Brik®), and HDPE containers from Urban Solid Waste (USW). The elaborated material consists of aluminum facings with a particulate core, consolidated with a thermoplastic adhesive of polypropylene- maleic anhydride. The main properties under tension are evaluated under testing standards. Results show good compatibility in the union of elements, with potential applications in building facades and false walls for the construction and furnishing industries.

Abstract Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), made from ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) and polypropylene (PP) base on reactive blending, has an excellent processing performance and characteristics and a wide range of applications. In this paper, EPDM, PP and ammonium lignosulfonate (AL) were selected as raw materials, wood flour (WF) of poplar tree was used as filler, naphthenic oil was used as plasticizer, DCP vulcanization system with dynamic vulcanization was carried, to make a new kind of composite material. This research studied the influences of wood flour and naphthenic oil content on the microstructure, mechanical properties and rheological properties of the composite material. The result showed: the content of wood flour and naphthenic oil has big impact on composite material. With the increase of the wood flour content, the mechanical properties are increased firstly and then decreased. The viscosity and modulus of the composite is improved with the increase of wood flour. With of the increase of the amount of naphthenic oil, the mechanical properties, viscosity and modulus of the composites decreased. When the content of wood flour is between 30–60 parts and the content of naphthenic oil is less than 20, the EPDM/PP/AL composite is suitable for using as the core layer elastic material of composite floor.

Natural frequency and damping behavior of three-layer cylindrical shells with a viscoelastic core layer and functionally graded face layers are studied in this article. Using functionally graded face layers can reduce the stress discontinuity in the face–core interface that causes a catastrophic failure in sandwich structures. The viscoelastic layer is expressed using a fractional-order model, and the functionally graded layers are defined by a power law function. Assuming the classical shell theory for functionally graded layers and the first-order shear deformation theory for the viscoelastic core, equations of motion are derived using Lagrange’s equation and then solved via Rayleigh–Ritz method. The obtained results are validated with those in the literature, and finally, the effects of some geometrical and material parameters such as length-to-radius ratio, functionally graded properties, radius and thickness of viscoelastic layer on the natural frequency, and loss factor of the system are considered, and some conclusions are drawn.

Discrete Shear Gap

This paper deals with the free vibration and dynamic responses of composite sandwich plates. The sandwich plate has three layers in which two face sheets are made of isotropic material, and the core layer is made of auxetic honeycomb structures with a negative Poisson's ratio.  A smoothed finite element model based on the first-order shear deformation theory is established for the analysis purpose. In the model, only the linear approximation is necessary, and the discrete shear gap method for triangular plate elements is used to avoid the shear locking. The Newmark direct integration technique is used to capture the dynamic responses of the sandwich plates. The convergence study is made, and the accuracy of present results is validated by comparison with available data in the literature. The influence of geometrical parameters, material properties, and boundary conditions are explored and discussed. Numerical results show that auxetic materials have several different responses compared to conventional materials, and these behaviors are strongly influenced by the internal structure of the auxetic material.
