Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of minimal surface sandwich structure design technology, and in particular to a design method and sandwich structure for a three-dimensional gradient minimal surface sandwich structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of military technology, the destructive effects of blast shockwaves on vehicles, armored vehicles, and personnel in modern warfare are constantly increasing. Therefore, there is an urgent need to further improve the blast resistance of protective structures to cope with increasingly complex and severe battlefield environments. Against this backdrop, minimally curved surface structures, as a novel type of porous structure, possess the following significant advantages: 1. Stable mechanical response: Minimally curved surface structures maintain a relatively stable mechanical response when subjected to external impacts, avoiding the brittle fracture or instability that easily occurs in traditional materials under impact loads; 2. Excellent energy absorption performance: Compared to traditional porous structures, minimally curved surface structures can continuously absorb energy over a wider deformation range, thereby effectively reducing the impact of impact energy on the protected object; 3. Stable deformation behavior: Minimally curved surface structures exhibit relatively uniform deformation characteristics under stress, which helps to disperse impact energy, reduce local stress concentration, and improve the overall protective effect. It is evident that minimally curved surface structures, due to their stable mechanical response, excellent energy absorption performance, and stable deformation behavior, have gradually attracted widespread attention from researchers.
[0003] Furthermore, existing research indicates that gradient design of porous structures can significantly improve their energy absorption performance. Using gradient porous structures as the core layer of sandwich structures can not only significantly enhance the overall blast resistance and protection of the sandwich structure, but also optimize the weight and space utilization of the structure.
[0004] On the other hand, the development of 3D printing technology has greatly facilitated the design and fabrication of complex core structures. This advanced manufacturing technology can not only achieve high-precision, highly complex structural molding, but also quickly adjust and optimize design schemes according to actual needs, greatly shortening the research and development cycle and reducing costs.
[0005] Although core materials such as aluminum foam are widely used in sandwich structures, traditional core materials have the following limitations:
[0006] 1. Low strength: Traditional materials such as aluminum foam have low strength and are prone to failure when faced with high-intensity impacts, making it difficult to meet current protection requirements;
[0007] 2. Uneven platform stress: Traditional materials do not exhibit stable platform stress under strong impact loads such as explosions, which is not conducive to providing reliable protection.
[0008] Compared to uniform structures, minimal surface structures based on two-dimensional surface density distribution exhibit significant improvements in platform stress and energy absorption performance. However, under strong impact loads such as explosions, the overly stable platform stress of the structure is not conducive to effectively protecting the target object. Summary of the Invention

[0103] Example
[0104] In this embodiment, gradient Gyroid minimal surface structures were prepared using SLM additive manufacturing technology. The matrix material for the Gyroid minimal surface structures was 316L metal powder provided by Guangzhou Leijia Additive Manufacturing Technology Co., Ltd. The parameters of the additively manufactured samples are shown in Table 1.

[0107] Note: The sample numbers shown in the table represent the following: uniform Gyroid lattice structure (JY-0-1#; JY-0-2#), three-dimensional gradient lattice structure (SWTD-1-1#; SWTD-1-2#), and linear gradient lattice structure (XXTD-2-1#; XXTD-2-2#).
[0108] like Figure 5 As shown, static pressure tests were conducted on three structures (each structure corresponding to two types of specimens, for a total of six specimens). The six specimens included two three-dimensional gradient lattice structures (SWTD-1-1# and SWTD-1-2#). Figure 5 b) Two uniform Gyroid minimal surface structures (JY-0-1#, JY-0-2#) Figure 5 a) and two linear gradient lattice structures (XXTD-2-1#, XXTD-2-2#) Figure 5 c) Conduct experiments using a quasi-static testing machine, and calculate the platform stress σ based on the experimental results and formulas (6) and (7). m And energy absorption E. The results are as follows: Figure 6 As shown, by Figure 6 As shown in (a) and (b), the yield stress of both gradient lattice structures is lower than that of the uniform Gyroid minimum surface structure. The average yield stress of the three-dimensional gradient lattice structure is 64.32 MPa, which is 19.11% lower than that of the uniform Gyroid minimum surface structure. Furthermore, it can be seen that the yield stresses of the linear gradient minimum surface and the three-dimensional gradient minimum surface are basically the same.
[0109] Depend on Figure 6 (c) It can be seen that the gradient minimum surface structure based on surface density distribution described in this invention has higher energy absorption performance under the same relative density, thus improving the structural mechanical properties. The three-dimensional gradient lattice structure has a lower yield stress than the uniform Gyroid minimum surface structure, but its overall energy absorption performance is higher, increasing by 17.04% compared to the traditional uniform Gyroid lattice. Furthermore, the three-dimensional gradient lattice structure increases energy absorption by 11.74% compared to the traditional linear gradient lattice structure. This indicates that the three-dimensional gradient lattice structure based on the saddle surface possesses superior energy absorption performance. Simultaneously, the lower yield stress of the three-dimensional gradient lattice structure means that under the same impact load, this invention can undergo plastic deformation earlier, thus achieving the purpose of protecting the protected object in advance.
[0110] Depend on Figure 7As can be seen, based on the deformation process of the three-dimensional gradient minimal curved surface structure, which is the structure with the best mechanical properties, under compressive load, it can be seen that the deformation of the structure exhibits a significant gradient yielding effect. This proves that the three-dimensional gradient minimal curved surface sandwich structure designed by this invention can achieve early yielding and deformation when facing impact loads to protect the protected target, thus proving the effectiveness of this invention.
[0111] like Figures 2-4 As shown, a sandwich structure is designed using a three-dimensional gradient minimal surface sandwich structure design method. The sandwich structure is a three-dimensional gradient minimal surface sandwich structure, comprising a core layer 1 formed by the three-dimensional gradient minimal surface structure and panels 2 disposed on both sides of the core layer 1. The positions of the upper and lower panels 2 are perpendicular to the z-direction of the core layer 1. The three-dimensional gradient minimal surface structure has the following characteristics: its relative density exhibits a two-dimensional surface gradient distribution in the xy-plane, and its relative density exhibits a linear gradient distribution in the z-direction.
[0112] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
