[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] Figure 1 is a flowchart of a preparation method for a ship pipeline support structure system shown according to an exemplary embodiment. As Figure 1 shown, in an exemplary embodiment, the preparation method for the ship pipeline support structure system includes steps 110 to 130, which are introduced in detail as follows.

[0027] Step 110: Obtain the target porosity gradient and the load-bearing direction of the ship pipeline system, and simulate the unit cell morphology and gradient distribution of the triply periodic minimal surface based on the target porosity gradient and the load-bearing direction to obtain the simulation result of the triply periodic minimal surface.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present invention, based on the target porosity gradient and the load-bearing direction, the unit cell morphology and gradient distribution of the triply periodic minimal surface are optimized through finite element simulation.

[0029] Step 120: Based on the simulation result of the triply periodic minimal surface, construct a triply periodic minimal surface structure through additive manufacturing technology.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present invention, additive manufacturing technology (AM), also known as 3D printing technology, is a technology for manufacturing solid parts by the method of layer-by-layer material accumulation according to three-dimensional CAD data. Based on the simulation result of the triply periodic minimal surface, a triply periodic minimal surface structure can be quickly constructed through additive manufacturing technology, specifically as Figure 2 shown.

[0031] Step 130: Embed the triply periodic minimal surface structure into the ship pipeline support system as a connecting structure.

[0032] In the embodiment of the present invention, the formed triply periodic minimal surface structure is embedded into the ship pipeline support system to replace the traditional rigid connection structure and form a non-rigid anti-impact connection. Specifically, the triply periodic minimal surface structure constructed by the present invention is used to replace the vibration damping structure in the ship pipeline support system.

[0033] In the embodiments of the present invention, by combining the targeted porosity gradient design with additive manufacturing technology, a hierarchical failure mechanism is achieved, significantly improving the specific energy absorption and axial load-bearing capacity of the triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) structure. The above-mentioned TPMS structure is integrally formed by additive manufacturing technology. Its unit cell morphology and gradient design enable the structure to exhibit hierarchical and progressive failure characteristics during compression, enhancing the axial load-bearing capacity and specific energy absorption performance. The energy absorption path is optimized through axial gradient design to avoid the stress shielding effect, while additive manufacturing technology enables high-precision forming of complex structures, ensuring performance consistency. The hierarchical failure mechanism significantly improves the anti-impact safety and system reliability. The specific energy absorption (SEA) of the axially graded TPMS structure is increased by 10% - 30% compared with the homogeneous TPMS structure. The yield strength is dominated by the side with a higher porosity, and the plateau stress is increased by 5% - 20%.

[0034] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, based on the simulation results of the triply periodic minimal surface, constructing a triply periodic minimal surface structure by additive manufacturing technology includes: Based on the simulation results of the triply periodic minimal surface, integrally forming the triply periodic minimal surface structure by additive manufacturing technology.

[0035] In the embodiments of the present invention, based on the simulation results of the triply periodic minimal surface, a complex and lightweight triply periodic minimal surface structure is integrally formed by additive manufacturing technology, reducing the manufacturing time and cost, and improving the manufacturing precision and complexity.

[0036] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the additive manufacturing materials used in the additive manufacturing technology include at least one of titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, or high-strength steel, and the material density of the additive manufacturing materials matches the targeted porosity gradient.

[0037] In the embodiments of the present invention, the additive manufacturing materials are titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, or high-strength steel, and the material density matches the gradient porosity to optimize the lightweight and energy absorption performance.

[0038] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the additive manufacturing technology includes selective laser melting technology or electron beam melting technology.

[0039] In the embodiments of the present invention, selective laser melting technology uses a laser as an energy source to scan layer by layer on a metal powder bed according to the path planned in the three-dimensional CAD model, enabling the scanned metal powder to achieve metallurgical bonding through melting and solidification, and finally obtaining the designed metal part. Through selective laser melting technology, parts that are nearly fully dense and have good mechanical properties can be directly formed. The mechanical properties, dimensional accuracy, etc. of the formed parts are better, and they can be put into use with only simple post-treatment. Moreover, the raw materials used for forming do not need to be specially prepared.

[0040] Electron beam melting technology is a rapid manufacturing technology that uses a high-energy and high-speed electron beam to selectively bombard metal powder, thereby melting and forming the powder material. Electron beam melting technology has the advantages of high energy utilization rate, large action depth, high material absorption rate, stability, and low operation and maintenance costs. At the same time, the forming process is efficient, the parts have small deformation, the forming process does not require metal support, and the microstructure is denser.

[0041] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, simulating the unit cell morphology and gradient distribution of the triply periodic minimal surface based on the target porosity gradient and the loading direction to obtain the triply periodic minimal surface simulation result includes: Simulating the unit cell morphology and gradient distribution of the triply periodic minimal surface based on the target porosity gradient and the loading direction, and iteratively optimizing the wall thickness parameters of the triply periodic minimal surface structure based on the level set equation to obtain the triply periodic minimal surface simulation result.

[0042] In an embodiment of the present invention, the wall thickness of the triply periodic minimal surface structure is controlled by the level set equation, and the level set equation is shown in Table 1 below: Table 1

[0043] The level set equation is a core equation in a numerical technique for interface tracking and shape modeling, that is, the zero level set of a high-dimensional function is used to represent a curve or surface of one lower dimension, and the properties of the low-dimensional curve or surface are indirectly studied by studying the properties of the high-dimensional function. Therefore, the wall thickness of the triply periodic minimal surface structure can be accurately controlled based on the level set equation.

[0044] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the simulated triply periodic minimal surface includes one or more of the Gyroid surface, the Diamond surface, or the IWP surface.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, the Gyroid surface is a surface in three-dimensional space, having a unique geometric structure and mathematical properties. The shape of the Diamond surface is similar to the lattice structure of a diamond, having a high degree of symmetry and regularity. This surface is helpful for studying certain materials with specific crystal structures in materials science, and is also commonly used in art design and architecture fields to create works with unique aesthetic and visual effects.

[0046] The IWP (Icosahedral Wave Pattern) surface is a complex surface constructed based on icosahedral symmetry, showing a pattern similar to a ripple.

[0047] As Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 shown,Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 They are respectively the stress-strain curve comparisons of the triply periodic minimal surface structures constructed based on the Gyroid surface, Diamond surface or IWP surface under different bearing angles.

[0048] In an embodiment of the present invention, taking the Gyroid surface as an example, the porosity gradient range (60% - 80%) is determined through finite element simulation, and the triply periodic minimal surface structure of titanium alloy gradient is formed by using the selective laser melting (SLM) technology. Integrating this structure into the ship pipeline support system, the test shows that its specific energy absorption is increased by 25% compared with the homogeneous structure, the platform stress is increased by 15%, and the weight is reduced by 30%.

[0049] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the target porosity gradient is 60% to 80%.

[0050] In an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the triply periodic minimal surface structure has a linear porosity gradient in the axial direction, and the direction of the linear porosity gradient is the same as the bearing direction.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the constructed triply periodic minimal surface structure is composed of a triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS).
