Przedmiotem badań jest trójwarstwowe pasmo płytowe poddane czteropunktowemu zginaniu. Opracowano analityczny model tego pasma, korzystając z klasycznej teorii linii łamanej nazywanej teorią Zig-Zag. W paśmie tym wyróżniono trzy przedziały: dwa brzegowe, w których występuje zginanie i ścinanie oraz jeden środkowy, w którym występuje czyste zginanie. Wyznaczono całkowite ugięcie maksymalne pasma płytowego oraz maksymalne ugięcie odcinka środkowego. Przeprowadzono obliczenia numeryczne metodą elementów skończonych (MES) dla takiego samego modelu pasma, jak wyżej wspomniany model analityczny. Próbę doświadczalną przeprowadzono na stanowisku badawczym w Instytucie Pojazdów Szynowych. Porównano wyniki badań analitycznych, numerycznych i doświadczalnych. Analizowane płyty warstwowe mogą być stosowane, m. in. jako części podłogi lub poszycia pojazdu szynowego.

Isolation Performance

The vibration isolation performance of a PC sandwich plate with periodic hollow tube core is investigated experimentally and numerically. The experiment results reveal that there exist vibration attenuation zones in acceleration frequency responses which can be improved by increasing the number of periods or tuning some structure parameters. The presence of soft fillers shifts the attenuation zone to lower frequencies and enhances the capability of vibration isolation to some extent. Dispersion relations and acceleration frequency responses are calculated by finite element method using COMSOL MULTIPHYSICS. The attenuation zones obtained by experiments fit well with that by simulations, and both are consistent with the band gap in dispersion relations. The numerical and experimental studies in the present paper show that this PC sandwich plate exhibits a good performance on vibration isolation in low frequency ranges, which will provide some useful references for relevant research and potential applications in vibration propagation manipulations.

This paper is concerned with the load-carrying capacities of a circular sandwich panel with metallic foam core subjected to quasi-static pressure loading. The analysis is performed with a newly developed yield criterion for the sandwich cross section. The large deflection response is estimated by assuming a velocity field, which is defined based on the initial velocity field and the boundary condition. A finite element simulation has been performed to validate the analytical solution for the simply supported cases. Good agreement is found between the theoretical and finite element predictions for the load-deflection response.

Equipment panels of a spacecraft are made up of a sandwich composite with aluminum face sheets and a honeycomb (HC) core. The HC sandwich plate responds to the launch vibration loads subjecting the equipment mounted on it to a high level of accelerations at resonances owing to a lower natural damping. Damping particles (DPs) when inserted in the empty cells of a HC core improve the damping characteristics and reduce the resonance responses. In this work, we present a mathematical model governing the motion of the cell walls, DPs and HC plate under dynamic loading. The discrete element method (DEM) has been used to model the dynamics of the DPs wherein the contacts are modeled using modified nonlinear dissipative Hertz contact theory in conjunction with Coulomb friction. The effect of DPs on the responses at resonances, damping, and frequency response function (FRF) of the HC plate is obtained. Numerical and experimental studies were conducted on a HC plate where a selected portion of the plate was filled with DPs. The HC plate was subjected to sine sweep base acceleration at the edges to study the effect of DPs on the dynamic characteristic of the plate. The damping ratios and resonance peaks of the lower four modes of the HC plate, excited up to 1000 Hz, obtained experimentally from the FRF measurements and numerically from the DEM model compare well. The damping ratios, response at resonances and the FRF profiles are also similar. Significant improvement in damping ratios and attenuation of vibration level has been observed.
