Theoretical Analyses

Experimental, numerical and theoretical analyses are carried out to obtain the relationship between the stress and relative density of metal hollow sphere (MHS) materials during their large plastic deformation in order to estimate the energy absorbing capacity of these materials under uniaxial compression. Based on a numerical parametric analysis empirical functions of the relative material density are proposed for the elastic modulus, yield strength and ‘plateau’ stress for FCC packing arrangement. Analytical stress-strain dependences are suggested for the yield strength and material strain hardening properties as functions of the relative density of MHS materials under uniaxial compression.

Quasi-static uniaxial compression properties and the constitutive equation of spherical cell porous aluminum-polyurethane composites (SCPA-PU composites) were investigated in this paper. The effects of relative density on the densification strain, plateau stress and energy absorption properties of the SCPA-PU composites were analyzed. It is found that the stress-strain curves of SCPA-PU composites consist of three stages: The linear elastic part, longer plastic plateau segment and densification region. The results also demonstrate that both the plateau stress and the densification strain energy of the SCPA-PU composites can be improved by increasing the relative density of the spherical cell porous aluminum (SCPA), while the densification strain of the SCPA-PU composites shows little dependence on the relative density of the SCPA. Furthermore, the applicability of three representative phenomenological models to the constitutive equations of SCPA-PU composites are verified and compared based on the experimental results. The error analysis result indicates that the Avalle model is the best model to characterize the uniaxial compression constitutive equation of SCPA-PU composites.

Honeycomb materials，as a type of ultra-light multifunctional material，have been examined extensively in recent years and have been applied in many fields. This study investigated the energy absorption capacity and their mechanisms of honeycomb structures with five different cell geometry (square，triangular，circular, hexagonal，kagome). It has been shown that the honeycomb structure with kagome cells is the best choice under the targets of the energy absorption capacity, peak force and plateau stress, when relative density and cell wall thickness of the five kinds of honeycombs are the same. Besides, honeycomb with hexagonal cells and honeycomb with triangular cells are also ideal structures for energy absorption purpose.

The Relationship

Porous titanium with relative density from 0.4 to 0.64 was prepared by powder metallurgy. The porous structures were examined by scanning electron microscopy and phase constituents were analysed by X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties of the porous titanium were investigated using a compressive test. To enhance the bioactivity of the alloy surface, alkali-heat treatment was used to modify the surface. Results indicate that the elastic modulus and plateau stress of the porous titanium samples both as-sintered and alkali and heat treatment decrease with decreasing relative density. And the relationship between relative yield stress and elastic modulus with relative density of porous titanium after alkali and heat treatment are agreement with that of as-sintered porous titanium. After alkali-heat treatment, a bioactive Na2Ti5O11 layer formed on the surface of the pre-treated porous titanium. A reduction in the number and severity of this bioactive deposition was observed with the decrease in relative density of porous titanium because of the increasing surface area. In a word, The mechanical properties of the porous titanium can be tailored to match those of human bone, therefore, these bioactive porous titanium have the potential to be a bioactive implant material.

Energy Absorbing

Numerous engineering applications require lightweight structures with excellent absorption capacity. The problem of obtaining such structures may be solved by nature and especially biological structures with such properties. The paper concerns an attempt to develop a new energy-absorbing material using a biomimetic approach. The lightweight structure investigated here is mimicking geometry of diatom shells, which are known to be optimized by nature in terms of the resistance to mechanical loading. The structures mimicking frustule of diatoms, retaining the similarity with the natural shell, were 3D printed and subjected to compression tests. As required, the bio-inspired structure deformed continuously with the increase in deformation force. Finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out to gain insight into the mechanism of damage of the samples mimicking diatoms shells. The experimental results showed a good agreement with the numerical results. The results are discussed in the context of further investigations which need to be conducted as well as possible applications in the energy absorbing structures.

Different Cell Types

In-plane mechanical properties of periodic honeycomb structures with seven different cell types are investigated in this paper. Emphasis is placed on honeycombs with relative density between 0.1 and 0.3, such that initial yield is associated with short column compression or bending, occurring prior to elastic buckling. Effective elastic stiffness and initial yield strength of these metal honeycombs under in-plane compression, shear, and diagonal compression (for cell structures that manifest in-plane anisotropy) are reported as functions of relative density. Comparison among different honeycomb structures demonstrates that the diamond cells, hexagonal periodic supercells composed of six equilateral triangles and the Kagome cells have superior in-plane mechanical properties among the set considered.

The Impact

This paper investigated the mechanical response of porous copper manufactured by LCS under three-point bending and Charpy impact conditions. The effects of the compaction pressure and K2CO3 particle size used in producing the porous copper samples and the relative density of the samples were studied. The apparent modulus, flexural strength and energy absorption capacity in three-point bending tests increased exponentially with increasing relative density. The impact strength was not markedly sensitive to relative density and had values within 7 – 9 kJ/m2 for the relative densities in the range 0.17 – 0.31. The amount of energy absorbed by a porous copper sample in the impact test was much higher than that absorbed in the three-point bending test, impling that loading strain rate had a significant effect on the deformation mechanisms. Increasing compaction pressure and increasing K2CO3 particle size resulted in significant increases in the flexural strength and the bending energy absorption capacity, both owing to the reduced sintering defects.

AbstractThe relative density of corn-rootworm larvae was estimated in two field plots with 4 different plant spacings and with up to 4 plants clumped per location. In both fields the relationship between plant spacing and the number of corn rootworms per sample was similar with the maximum number of larvae occurring when plants were 46 or 50 cm apart. The number of plants clumped per location affected the numbers of corn rootworm in only one field. The relationship between clumping of plants and number of corn rootworms was curvilinear in this field with the most corn rootworms occurring at 3 plants per location.
