In this article a sandwich beam structure with honeycomb core filled of MRE (magnetorheological elastomer) with different ratios of Elastomer and iron particles is proposed. Modal response for structures with Nylon and Resin8000 honeycomb core filled with MRE and sandwiched between aluminum face sheets were analyzed and compared for two different ratios of MRE by placing magnets at free end and center of the structure. The force generated by magnets on the sandwich beam structure was calculated using ANSYS EDT and the modal response of the structure was then observed under generated magnetic force using ANSYS Workbench. The results showed that the resonance frequency of the structure decreased as the magnetic intensity was increased for all the cases specially for the first mode. Secondly structure with Nylon honeycomb core showed lower frequency drop and higher deformation than the structure with Resin8000 honeycomb core.

The Magnetic Field

Materials with novel properties and compounds of intelligent material combinations are a key to innovation in various successful sectors of the global industry as well as for its export. Magnetorheological elastomer materials have interesting physical properties; most of these properties are modified and adapted under the influence of external parameters such as the magnetic field. In this work, an experimental characterization of the magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) loaded with 20% of the iron particles was made. The results showed that the properties of these materials can be modified very selectively and reversibly under the influence of magnetic field, where the stiffness of the material varies depending on the magnetic field intensity that influences the attractive force between iron particles.

Analytical formulation for the evaluation of frequency of CFRP sandwich beam with debond, following the split beam theory, generally underestimates the stiffness, as the contact between the honeycomb core and the skin during vibration is not considered in the region of debond. The validation of the present analytical solution for multiple-debond size is established through 3D finite element analysis, wherein geometry of honeycomb core is modeled as it is, with contact element introduced in the debond region. Nonlinear transient analysis is followed by fast Fourier transform analysis to obtain the frequency response functions. Frequencies are obtained for two types of model having single debond and double debond, at different spacing between them, with debond size up to 40% of beam length. The analytical solution is validated for a debond length of 15% of the beam length, and with the presence of two debonds of same size, the reduction in frequency with respect to that of an intact beam is the same as that of a single-debond case, when the debonds are well separated by three times the size of debond. It is also observed that a single long debond can result in significant reduction in the frequencies of the beam than multiple debond of comparable length.

The vibration of a rotating sandwich beam with magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) as a core between two elastic layers is theoretically analyzed in this paper. This study is focused on the bending vibration along the edgewise direction of a sandwich beam of rectangular cross-section, which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been addressed yet. The classical Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is used to model the dynamic behavior of the elastic layers. In the modeling, the effect of the MRE layer is considered by incorporating its shear strains and the inertia due to shear deformation and bending motion. The governing equations of motion of the rotating sandwich beam are derived by using the Ritz method and the Lagrange’s equations. The effects of the applied magnetic field, core layer thickness, rotational speed, setting angle and hub radius on the natural frequencies and the corresponding loss factors are investigated parametrically. The results show the significant effect of the magnetic field intensity and the MRE layer thickness on the modal characteristics of the MRE sandwich beam.

Abstract The present study is concerned with translaminar reinforcement in a sandwich beam for preventing buckling of a delaminated face-sheet under axial compression. Graphite/epoxy pins are used as reinforcement in the thickness direction of sandwich beams consisting of graphite/epoxy face-sheets and a Aramid honeycomb core. Compression tests are performed to understand the effects of the diameter of the reinforcing pins and reinforcement spacing on the ultimate compressive strength of the delaminated beams. A finite element analysis is performed to understand the effects of translaminar reinforcement on the critical buckling loads and post-buckling behavior of the sandwich beam under axial compression.

Filler Distribution

The smart materials subclass of magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) composites is presented in this work, which aimed to investigate the influence of filler distribution on surface morphology. Iron particles with sizes ranging from 20 to 150 µm were incorporated into the elastomer matrix and a 30% volume fraction (V%) was chosen as the optimal quantity for the filler amount in the elastomer composite. The surface morphology of MRE composites was examined by 3D micro-computed tomography (µCT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. Isotropic and anisotropic distributions of the iron particles were estimated in the magnetorheological elastomer composites. The filler particle distribution at various heights of the MRE composites was examined. The isotropic distribution of filler particles was observed without any influence from the magnetic field during sample preparation. The anisotropic arrangement of iron fillers within the MRE composites was observed in the presence of a magnetic field during fabrication. It was shown that the linear arrangement of the iron particle chain induced magnetization within the composite. Simulation analysis was also performed to predict the particle distribution of magnetization in the MREs and make a comparison with the experimental observations.

Vibration Attenuation

The geometric parameters of the acoustic black hole (ABH) structure are changed in power exponent, and this feature can be used to control the flexural wave to achieve energy concentration, vibration attenuation, or noise reduction. However, in practice, the ABH structure often has a truncation due to the limitation of manufacturing, which will cause the reflection coefficient to increase significantly and seriously affect the ABH effect. In this paper, a semianalytical model of the sandwich-truncated ABH beam structure with aluminum in the middle layer and steel in the upper and lower layers is constructed based on the energy principle. The ABH effect of the sandwich beam under the clamped-free boundary condition is analyzed. Meanwhile, the effects of damping layer parameters, middle layer material, and thickness on the vibrational acceleration response of the ABH region and the uniform beam region of the sandwich beam are also studied. It is observed that, for the sandwich ABH beam structure, the influence of damping layer thickness on the acceleration response peak values of both the ABH region and the uniform region is very obvious in middle and high frequencies and the peaks at about 9 kHz are completely suppressed when the damping layer thickness reaches 3 mm. It also reveals that the use of aluminum as the middle layer material can bring a vibration attenuation at around 9 kHz both for the ABH region and the uniform beam region compared with using steel as the middle layer material. Experiments are carried out to verify the accuracy of simulation analysis.
