Mechanical metamaterials are usually designed to exhibit novel properties and functionalities that are rare or even unprecedented. What is common among most previous designs is the quasi-static nature of their mechanical behavior. Here, we introduce a previously unidentified class of strain rate-dependent mechanical metamaterials. The principal idea is to laterally attach two beams with very different levels of strain rate-dependencies to make them act as a single bi-beam. We use an analytical model and multiple computational models to explore the instability modes of such a bi-beam construct, demonstrating how different combinations of hyperelastic and viscoelastic properties of both beams, as well as purposefully introduced geometric imperfections, could be used to create robust and highly predictable strain rate-dependent behaviors of bi-beams. We then use the bi-beams to design and experimentally realize lattice structures with unique strain rate-dependent properties including switching between auxetic and conventional behaviors and negative viscoelasticity.

Mechanical Metamaterials

This work presents an approach to introduce significant strain rate sensitivity into metallic metamaterials that are manufactured via additive manufacturing, where the base material employed will typically have a weak strain rate sensitivity. Here, we employ friction between the rough surfaces as the strain-rate dependent mechanism, whose magnitude is tunable by optimizing the geometry. The design along with the preliminary simulation results of the friction unit cell is presented. This work will quantify the effects of geometrical parameters on the dissipated energy.

Abstract Comprehensive knowledge of strain rate-dependent viscoelastic properties of bony materials is necessary to understand the mechanisms of bone fracture under impact loading conditions (e.g., falls, traffic accidents, and military environments). Although the mechanical properties of bones have been studied for several decades, the high strain rate data and corresponding material parameters of the rate-dependent constitutive models are still limited. In this study, split Hopkinson pressure bar technique was used to test bovine cortical bones, to obtain the rate-dependent stress–strain curves in two directions (along and perpendicular to the bone fibers). A constitutive relationship comprising two terms was then applied to identify the material constants with strain rate effect and viscoelastic properties. In this model, the linear elasticity was combined with nonlinear viscoelasticity components to describe the overall nonlinear strain rate dependence. The presented data give strong experimental evidence and basis for further development of numerical biomechanical models to simulate human cortical bone fracture.

Constitutive Material

Current industrial trends bring new challenges in energy absorbing systems. Polymer materials as the traditional packaging materials seem to be promising due to their low weight, structure, and production price. Based on the review, the linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE) material was identified as the most promising material for absorbing impact energy. The current paper addresses the identification of the material parameters and the development of a constitutive material model to be used in future designs by virtual prototyping. The paper deals with the experimental measurement of the stress-strain relations of linear low-density polyethylene under static and dynamic loading. The quasi-static measurement was realized in two perpendicular principal directions and was supplemented by a test measurement in the 45° direction, i.e., exactly between the principal directions. The quasi-static stress-strain curves were analyzed as an initial step for dynamic strain rate-dependent material behavior. The dynamic response was tested in a drop tower using a spherical impactor hitting a flat material multi-layered specimen at two different energy levels. The strain rate-dependent material model was identified by optimizing the static material response obtained in the dynamic experiments. The material model was validated by the virtual reconstruction of the experiments and by comparing the numerical results to the experimental ones.

The constitutive modeling of aluminum alloy under warm forming conditions generally considers the influence of temperature and strain rate. It has been shown by published flow stress curves of Al-Mg alloy that there is nearly no effect of strain rate on initial yield stress at various temperatures. However, most constitutive models ignored this phenomenon and may lead to inaccurate description. In order to capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, Peric model is modified via introducing plastic strain to multiply the strain rate, for eliminating the effect of strain rate when the plastic strain is zero. Other constitutive models including the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric are also considered and compared. The results show that the modified Peric model could not only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress, but also capture the rate-independent initial yield stress, while the Wagoner, modified Hockett–Sherby and Peric model can only describe the temperature-and rate-dependent flow stress. Moreover, the modified Peric model could obtain proper static yield stress more naturally, and this property may have potential applications in rate-dependent simulations.

Liquid Behavior

A superplastic Zn-Al alloy in sheet form is formed into a bulge over a circular hole by pneumatic pressure. The geometry, the stress, the strain, and the strain-rate are determined at various points covering the whole specimen and at various stages of the forming process. The complicated shape, and its complicated changes, are represented by introducing an index for the local geometry, called “prolateness,” which is also related to the local stress ratio in a simple way. The biaxial stress is analyzed into a strain-proportional and a strain-rate-proportional component, which represent, respectively, the quasi-solid and the quasi-liquid behavior of the superplastic material.
