In this paper a new sandwich composite is developed by injection silicone rubber into the honeycomb core. This composite material is designed to have a improved damping performance. For verification damping tests were conducted to the specimens with different stacked USNl25 carbon/epoxy prepreg laminate facesheets, $[0/90]_{4s},\;[0/45-45/90]_{2s},\;[45/-45]_{4s}$. Frequency response, displacement response and damping ratio were checked and compared for the both groups of specimens, with and without rubber fillings. The experimental results provided a good agreement with our original material design concept.

본 논문은 유리섬유 에폭시 면재에 알루미늄 하니컴 샌드위치 복합재가 적용된 저상버스 차체에 대한 정면충돌과 전복에 대한 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 이때 충돌과 전복 해석은 외연유한요소 해석 프로그램인 LS-DYNA3D를 이용하였다. 차체 구조물에 적용되는 적층 복합재 면재에 대해 기계적 특성시험을 통하여 물성을 획득하였고, 직교이방성 특성을 갖는 하니컴 심재의 물성은 유효등가손상 모델을 적용하였다. 저상버스의 충돌 해석은 60km/h의 속도로 정면충돌 사고를 모사하여 해석을 수행하였고, 전복해석은 유럽 안전법규 ECE-R66의 시험 방법을 고려하여 해석하였다. 저상버스의 정면충돌과 전복에 대해 운전자와 승객의 생존 공간 안전성에 관한 결과를 보여준다. 또한, 수정된 Chang-Chang 파손기준식은 충돌과 전복해석에 대한 복합재 구조물의 파손 모드 예측에 추천된다.

The design of honeycomb sandwich structures is often challenging because these structures can be tailored from a variety of possible cores and face sheets configurations, therefore, the design of sandwich structures is characterized as a time-consuming and complex task. A data-driven computational approach that integrates the analytical method and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is developed by the authors to rapidly predict the design of sandwich structures for a targeted maximum structural deflection. The elaborated ANN reverse design approach is applied to obtain the thickness of the sandwich core, the thickness of the laminated face sheets, and safety factors for composite sandwich structure. The required data for building ANN model were obtained using the governing equations of sandwich components in conjunction with the Monte Carlo Method. Then, the functional relationship between the input and output features was created using the neural network Backpropagation (BP) algorithm. The input variables were the dimensions of the sandwich structure, the applied load, the core density, and the maximum deflection, which was the reverse input given by the designer. The outstanding performance of reverse ANN model revealed through a low value of mean square error (MSE) together with the coefficient of determination (R2) close to the unity. Furthermore, the output of the model was in good agreement with the analytical solution with a maximum error 4.7%. The combination of reverse concept and ANN may provide a potentially novel approach in designing of sandwich structures. The main added value of this study is the elaboration of a reverse ANN model, which provides a low computational technique as well as savestime in the design or redesign of sandwich structures compared to analytical and finite element approaches.

In this research, a numerical study has been provided for examining the nonlinear stability behaviors of sandwich beams having a cellular core and two face sheets made of nanocomposites. The nonlinear stability behaviors of the sandwich beam having geometrically perfect/imperfect shapes have been studied when it is subjected to a compressive buckling load. The nanocomposite face sheets are made of epoxy reinforced by graphene oxide powders (GOPs). Also, the core has the shape of a honeycomb with regular configuration. Using finite element method based on a higher-order deformation beam element, the system of equations of motions have been solved to derive the stability curves. Several parameters such as face sheet thickness, core wall thickness, graphene oxide amount and boundary conditions have remarkable influences on stability curves of geometrically perfect/imperfect sandwich beams.

The sandwich structure, consisting of a core and a face sheet, is used for lightweight structural application. Generally, cellular structures like honeycomb, foam, and lattice structures are utilized for the core. Among these, lattice structures have several advantages over other types of structures. In other studies, curved lattice structures were reported to have higher mechanical properties than straight structures by converting shear stresses acting on the structure into compressive stresses. Moreover, the addition of vertical struts can have a positive effect on the mechanical properties of the lattice structure. For the purpose, two lattice structures with Circle Arch (CC) and Circular Arch with a vertical column (CC_C) were studied, which were fabricated by using selective laser sintering was conducted. The result showed that CC_C has dramatic performance improvements in specific strength, modulus, and strain energy density compared to CC, confirming that vertical struts played a significant role in the lattice core. Finite element analysis was employed to determine the cause of the stress behavior of CC and CC_C. This study is expected to help design structurally superior lattice cores and sandwich structures.

본 연구에서는 전기체 복합재가 적용되어 설계된 소형 항공기의 손상 평가 및 유지 보수 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발 중인 항공기의 스킨 부위는 샌드위치 구조가 적용되었다. 본 연구에서는 노멕스 허니컴코어와 카본 면재가 적용된 샌드위치 복합재 구조에 대해 구멍 손상 이후의 잔류 강도 평가에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 4점 굽힘 시험을 통해 시편의 굽힘 강도를 확인하고, 시편에 손상을 모사하기 위하여 시편의 중앙 부위에 구멍 손상을 가하였다. 손상된 시편을 손상 전 시편과 동일한 시험을 통해 손상 전의 강도와 비교하였다. 또한 손상된 복합재 구조는 손상 부위 제거 후 패치 수리 기법을 적용하고 손상된 시편과 보수된 시편의 굽힘 강도 시험결과를 비교하였다. 샌드위치 복합재 구조 시편의 유지 보수 후 굽힘 강도 시험 결과 손상 전 시편의 강도와 비교하여 강도의 95%까지 회복되는 것으로 분석되었다.

Design of microwave absorbers using high frequency properties of fiber reinforced composites are investigated. Two kinds of composite materials (glass and carbon) are used and their complex permittivity and permeability are measured by transmission/reflection technique using network analyzer. Low dielectric constant and nearly zero dielectric loss are determined in glass fiber composite. However, carbon fiber composites show the high dielectric constant and large conduction loss which is increased with anisotropy of fiber arrangement. It is, therefore, proposed that the glass and carbon fiber composites can be used as the impedance transformer (surface layer) and microwave reflector, respectively. By inserting the foam core or honeycomb core (which can be treated as an air layer) between glass and carbon fiber composites, microwave absorption above 10 dB (90% absorbance) in 4-12 GHz can be obtained. The proposed fiber composites laminates with sandwitch structure have high potential as lightweight and high strength microwave absorbers.

Recently, with development of mechanics of materials, as pursuing the high speed of the ships, a demanding of composite construction which satisfies high strength and low weight at the same time is iner casing. A sandwich element is a type of composite construction, which is composed of thin, strong, stiff and relatively high density faces and a think, light, and weaker core material. As 2nd moment is increased by faces is separated from the neutral axis farther, a sandwich element is most effective light structural form. In this paper, the make a comparative study Aluminum Honeycomb Sandwich Panel(AHSP) and Aluminum Pyramid Sandwich Panel(APSP).

Static stability behaviors of annular sandwich plates constructed from two layers of particle-reinforced nanocomposites have been investigated in the present article. The type of nanoscale particles has been considered to be graphene oxide powders (GOPs). The particles are assumed to have uniform and graded dispersions inside the matrix and the material properties have been defined according to Halpin-Tsai micromechanical model. The core layer is assumed to have honeycomb configuration. Annular plate has been formulated according to thin shell assumptions considering geometrical nonlinearities. After solving the governing equations via Galerkin's technique, it is showed that the post-buckling curves of annular sandwich plates rely on the core wall thickness, amount of GOP particles, sector radius, and thickness of layers.
