The invention belongs to the technical field of anti-
impact protection
engineering and intelligent material application, and particularly relates to an active self-adaptive high-
impact-resistant buffering device based on the synergistic effect of foamed aluminum and a
dielectric elastomer. According to the device, foamed aluminum and a
dielectric elastomer are innovatively combined, and an
energy absorption-immobilization dual
protection mechanism is constructed; a foamed aluminum layer performs passive
energy absorption by utilizing buckling deformation of a porous structure, so that effective attenuation of an
impact load and uniform distribution of stress are realized; the
dielectric elastomer layer is used as an intelligent soft material, a
control algorithm is introduced, remarkable electrodeformation and
variable stiffness characteristics are generated along with the increase of the
electric field intensity under impact, and active expansion hardening is carried out to fill structural gaps generated after foamed aluminum deformation. Compared with a traditional passive protection technology, the buffering device has the advantages that efficient buffering is achieved, meanwhile, equipment displacement and oscillation caused by deformation of the buffering layer are effectively prevented, secondary impact caused by rebounding of the buffering structure after impact can be effectively restrained, and the reliability of
test data and the
survivability of equipment in the high-impact environment are remarkably improved.
