Negative Poisson's Ratio

The crash box can absorb energy from the beam as much as possible, so as to reduce the collision damage to the front part of the car body and protect the safety of passengers. This work proposes a novel crash box filled with a three-dimensional negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR) inner core based on an inner hexagonal cellular structure. In order to optimize and improve the crash box’s energy absorption performance, the multi-objective optimization model of the NPR crash box is established, which combines the optimal Latin hypercube design method and response surface methodology. Then, the microstructure parameters are further optimized by the multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm to obtain an excellent energy absorption effect. The simulation results show that the proposed NPR crash box can generate smooth and controllable deformation to absorb the total energy, and it can further enhance the crashworthiness through the designed optimization algorithm.

Negative Poisson's Ratio

Auxetic cellular solids in the forms of honeycombs under blast load have great potential in a diverse range of applications, including core material in sandwich plates composite components. Based on Reddy’s first-order shear deformation plate theory, this paper presents an analysis of the nonlinear dynamic response and vibration of sandwich plates with negative Poisson’s ratio in auxetic honeycombes on elastic foundations subjected to blast and mechanical loads. A three-layer sandwich plate is considered discretized in the thickness direction by using analytical methods (stress function method, approximate solution), Galerkin method, and fourth-order Runge-Kutta method. The results show the effects of geometrical parameters, material properties, mechanical and elastic foundations on the nonlinear dynamic response, and vibration of sandwich plates.

Negative Poisson's Ratio

To improve vehicle side crashworthiness, this paper first introduces the negative Poisson’s ratio structure to the traditional B-pillar and proposes a negative Poisson’s ratio B-pillar. Then, the performance of the negative Poisson’s ratio B-pillar is studied in detail by comparison with a traditional B-pillar and honeycomb B-pillar. Aiming at the problem that the side crashworthiness is also significantly affected by the side structure parameters of vehicle body, the factorial analysis theory is adopted to screen out the side structure parameters with significant effect. Based on this, by combining the optimal Latin hypercube design and response surface model, a multi-objective optimization design is conducted for those structure parameters based on non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II. Finally, the normal boundary intersection method is adopted to seek the Pareto optimal solution, and the simulation results show that compared with the traditional B-pillar, the negative Poisson’s ratio B-pillar optimized by non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II has better comprehensive crashworthiness. The results of this paper can provide some basis for the design and optimization of vehicle side crashworthiness.
