[0033] Figure 1 The debonding size of the test piece provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure.
[0034] Figure 2 The impact of the test piece provided by the embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] It should be noted that the composite material structure, especially the honeycomb sandwich structure, has the characteristics of poor impact resistance. At present, the honeycomb sandwich structure is used in the whole machine structure with a high proportion. In the field, it is difficult to discover and handle the structure debonding caused by accidental impact damage in the first time, but the debonding has caused the decrease of the load bearing capacity of the structure. Since the debonding size is related to the load bearing capacity, the debonding size that may occur in the field is determined in the structure design, and then the decrease ratio of the load bearing capacity is analyzed to eliminate the hidden danger in the field.
[0036] Therefore, it is of great practical value to determine the debonding size of the honeycomb sandwich structure. The core idea of the present application is that, after the impact, although the honeycomb sandwich structure has a debonding area, the panel wrinkling critical stress representing the load bearing capacity of the honeycomb sandwich structure does not change. Based on this, the debonding size of the test piece is obtained by analyzing the load bearing capacity of the test piece before and after the impact.
[0037] Please refer to Figures 1-2 , the specific steps are as follows:
[0038] Step 1, the honeycomb sandwich structure test piece is shown in the attached Figure 1 , wherein the test piece length is a, the width is b, the evaluation area length is d, the area boundary is arc-shaped, the arc radius is R, and the minimum distance of the evaluation area in the width direction is c;
[0039] Step 2, the number of un-impacted intact test pieces is n1 (n1≥5), and the corresponding bearing capacity values are x1, x2, x3…x n , and the average value is , that is
[0040] Step 3, the test piece impact test is completed according to the 6th impact energy, and the number of test pieces required for each impact energy is greater than or equal to 5. The impact position is located at the center of the test piece, as shown in the attached Figure 2 .
[0041] The test pieces are arranged from small to large according to the impact energy, and the test pieces corresponding to different energies are shown in the table below. After impact at each corresponding impact energy, the bearing capacity test is performed, and after the test is completed, new un-impacted test pieces are selected to carry out the impact test of the next level of impact energy, and then the bearing capacity test is performed. The corresponding bearing capacity of each level of impact energy is shown in Table 1, and the corresponding values of the test pieces are shown in Table 1.
[0042] Table 1
[0043]
[0044] Step 4, the un-impacted test pieces in step 2 are considered as impacted test pieces with impact energy of 0, and the energy level is the 0th level;
[0045] Step 5, according to the corresponding average bearing capacity values in steps 2, 3, and 4 as the dependent variable, and the corresponding energy level data as the variable, data fitting is performed according to the least squares method;
[0046] Step 6, according to the data fitting results of step 5, if the correlation coefficient is greater than or equal to 0.95, the subsequent steps can continue, otherwise the method cannot be applied;
[0047] Step 7, the mechanical properties of the un-impacted and impacted honeycomb sandwich structure materials, the honeycomb height, and the panel thickness do not change, and the panel wrinkling critical stress σ qzcr is the same according to the panel wrinkling allowable stress calculation method.
[0048] Step 8, when the panel working stress reaches the panel wrinkling critical stress, the panel buckles, and the external load applied at this time is the bearing capacity of the honeycomb sandwich structure;
[0049] Step 9, the panel working stress calculation formula is
[0050] In the formula, M is the bending moment of the profile subjected to wrinkling (appendix Figure 1 The middle distance is c profile); h is the honeycomb height; E is the panel elastic modulus; f is the wrinkling profile width (the profile not subjected to impact is c, the profile subjected to impact is c-e, e is the assumed debonding area size along the width direction);
[0051] Step 10, the wrinkling profile bending moment M value, for different impact energy values are shown in Table 2, the wrinkling profile bending moment values corresponding to different impact energies.
[0052] Table 2
[0053]
[0054]
[0055] Step 10, taking the non-impacted, first-level impact energy test piece as an example, according to the wrinkling critical stress equivalence, the following can be obtained:
[0056]
[0057] Wherein, e1 is the debonding size corresponding to the first-level impact energy.
[0058] From the above formula, the following can be obtained:
[0059]
[0060] Step 11, according to the processing method of step 10, the debonding size corresponding to the gth-level (g≤6) impact energy is e f , and the corresponding average bearing capacity is The calculation formula is:
[0061]
[0062] From the above formula, the following can be obtained:
[0063]
[0064] Step 12, according to formula (4), the honeycomb debonding area size under the corresponding impact energy can be determined.
[0065] The present application is based on the bearing capacity of the test pieces subjected to impact and not subjected to impact, and the corresponding size of the debonding area is obtained by analysis and processing. Since the debonding area size is related to the bearing capacity, the corresponding bearing capacity reduction factor under the non-impact state can be obtained through the size.
[0066] Therefore, the application has important practical value. Whether the damage tolerance analysis of the size of the debonding area is considered in the design stage or the reduction analysis of the carrying capacity after the debonding area is obtained according to the corresponding impact energy when the external field problem is handled, the design and use risks can be reduced through the determination of the size of the debonding area.
