Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of aircraft structural design technology, and in particular to a method for predicting the shear characteristics of aircraft MRE sandwich structures. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing prevalence of novel composite materials and sandwich structures in aircraft structural design, magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) sandwich structures are widely used in various engineering practices, including vibration and noise control, due to their simple structure, light weight, and high mechanical properties such as strength and stiffness. Patent CN115798647A relates to a microscopic modeling method for MRE based on ECC lattice structures. While it proposes a new MRE modeling method, it does not conduct further mechanistic research on the shear characteristics of sandwich structures. Similarly, the 2022 paper by Liu J et al., titled "Failure characteristics of the active-passive damping in the functionally graded piezoelectric layers-magnetorheological elastomer sandwich structure," published in the *International Journal of Mechanical Sciences*, innovatively proposes a novel method for the compressible damping failure characteristics of sandwich beams, but this method still lacks the ability to rapidly predict changes in the shear characteristics of sandwich structures.
