Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of computer-aided design and relates to a design method for negative Poisson's ratio porous structures based on a three-period minimal surface, which is applicable to engineering metamaterial design, medical application design and manufacturing, and other fields. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technologies, negative Poisson's ratio porous materials have wide applications in engineering manufacturing, biomedicine, and aerospace due to their inherent unique mechanical properties. Therefore, the development and fabrication of new negative Poisson's ratio materials has always been a research hotspot. Currently, most negative Poisson's ratio structures studied are based on arrays of periodic beams, trusses, or shells, exhibiting strong anisotropy and easy stress concentration. Furthermore, their low internal connectivity leads to limitations in applicability and controllability, restricting their application range. Recently, three-periodic minimal surfaces have attracted widespread attention due to their smooth, interconnected topological structure controlled by functions, as well as their higher hardness and strength compared to similar truss structures. Although many studies have been conducted on the design of various metamaterial structures based on three-periodic minimal surfaces, a complete design method for negative Poisson's ratio porous structures based on three-periodic minimal surfaces has not yet been proposed. Therefore, applying periodic minimal surfaces to the design of negative Poisson's ratio structures and constructing a complete design methodology is a technological gap that urgently needs to be filled in China.

[0019] (a) The connection holes between each periodic unit should be as close to spherical as possible;

[0020] (b) The moment of inertia of the periodic element at the narrowest point along the radial direction of the pore should be less than the moment of inertia of the periodic element at the narrowest point perpendicular to the direction of force.

[0021] (c) The surface remains continuous;

[0022] In mathematics, these constraints can be restated as follows: (1.4)

[0023] in, Indicates the roundness of structural pores. This represents the moment of inertia of the model at the narrowest point along the radial direction of the pores. The moment of inertia represents the point where the model is narrowest, perpendicular to the direction of the force. Represent the second derivative of the surface function; adjust the morphological control coefficients within the construction equations through constraints. A , B , C This is used to change the shape of the surface, so that the structure can adjust the Poisson's ratio of the surface structure while satisfying the basic definition of a minimal surface.

[0024] In step (4), the simplified problem model is expressed as follows:
