Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of material mechanical property characterization, and in particular to a sandwich material mechanical property testing method and system combined with digital imaging technology. Background Art

[0002] Sandwich structure composite materials have been successfully applied to load-bearing structures of aerospace vehicles due to their advantages of light weight, high stiffness, strong designability, and heat insulation, sound insulation, and fatigue resistance. Obtaining comprehensive and reliable mechanical properties parameters of sandwich materials is of great significance for the application and analysis of sandwich materials.

[0003] The core of a sandwich structure can be divided into several categories, such as web core, honeycomb core, foam and end-grain balsa. The core material is usually a macroscopic orthotropic material with different mechanical properties in the in-plane and out-of-plane directions. In a sandwich structure, the out-of-plane tension, shear stiffness and strength of the core are the most important performance parameters. At the same time, since the face plate has a fixing effect on the core, it is usually impossible and meaningless to test the core performance alone without the face plate. Conventional mechanical property test tests for core materials all use contact measurement methods, and it is necessary to carry out mechanical tests with multiple different loading methods (out-of-plane tension / compression, out-of-plane shear, etc.) to obtain the elastic constants in different directions. This method has a large number of tests and high test costs; during the test, the specimen is prone to local extrusion failure and the data accuracy is low. Summary of the invention

[0008] Furthermore, in the static three-point bending test in step A, the sandwich material test piece is adhered to the upper surface of the metal plate (2).

[0009] Furthermore, step F specifically includes: in order to obtain the distribution of stress and strain along the thickness direction of the structure, especially the side of the core material, each layer of the model is simulated by solid units; the constitutive relationship of the core material is established, the core thickness direction is taken as the material 3 direction, the speckle spraying surface is the material main direction 13 surface, and a linear elastic constitutive model of the core material with in-plane transverse isotropy (E11=E22) is constructed; the boundary conditions of the model are highly consistent with the mechanical experiment, that is, the upper chuck is fixed, the lower chuck constrains the three rotational degrees of freedom and the translational degrees of freedom in the x and y directions, and a non-zero displacement vertically downward along the z direction is applied as the load; multiple analysis steps are defined in the finite element model, the number of analysis steps is the same as the number of images collected by VIC-3D, and the size of the load is defined in each analysis step. According to the experimental loading sequence, the load size defined in each analysis step is the same as the loading load corresponding to the moment when VIC-3D collects each image.

[0010] Furthermore, in step G, the initially assumed material constitutive parameters are first substituted into the finite element model, the strain data at the unit nodes are calculated, and the measured strain data obtained by VIC-3D correlation calculation is interpolated to the same position as the unit node of the finite element model by bilinear interpolation.

M is the number of nodes of the finite element model contained in the ROI area in each image. N is the number of loading steps in the finite element model, which corresponds to the number of images collected by the digital image correlation method equipment before the failure of the specimen during the experiment.

In the static three-point bending test in step A, the sandwich material test piece should be adhered to the upper surface of the metal plate (2) (the side of the metal plate away from the lower fixture (3) is defined as the upper surface).

[0039] Step B: Speckles need to be sprayed on the entire surface of the side surface (thickness direction) of the sandwich test piece, and an area in the middle of the side surface is selected as the deformation measurement area ROI (Region of Interest);

[0040] Step C, the upper clamping end of the three-point bending test device is fixedly supported and constrained, and the lower clamping end is loaded with downward displacement;

[0041] Step D: During the experiment, the sampling frequency of the image acquisition device is 1 Hz, that is, an image is acquired every 1 second. When each image is acquired, the experimental load size is recorded until the end of the experiment to obtain the experimental loading history;

[0042] Step E, recording the images of the ROI area on the side of the test piece before and after loading and deformation, and calculating the displacement and strain data under different loads through digital image correlation software (VIC-3D);

By designing a new three-point bending test fixture, the local extrusion failure of the sample under the loading head of the conventional three-point bending test is avoided in advance, and it is ensured that the test can obtain effective data on the performance of the core material.

[0051] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used here to describe the spatial positional relationship between a device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figure. It should be understood that spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation described in the figure. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above" may include both "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatially relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.

[0052] In addition, it should be noted that the use of terms such as "first" and "second" to limit components is only for the convenience of distinguishing the corresponding components. If not otherwise stated, the above terms have no special meaning and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0053] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
