Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of composite sandwich materials, and in particular to a composite sandwich material and its simulation calculation method. Background Technology
[0002] Sandwich composite materials are widely used in aerospace, rail transportation, and maritime shipping. They provide a quiet and comfortable environment for occupants, offer support and safety protection, and also provide thermal insulation or heat dissipation. The structure of sandwich composite materials is generally a multi-layered composite structure consisting of an upper panel, sound-absorbing or heat-insulating materials, and a lower panel. The upper and lower panels provide mechanical properties, while the sound-absorbing and heat-insulating materials provide sound absorption and heat insulation properties.
[0003] Commonly used composite sandwich materials mainly fall into three categories: fiber sandwich materials, granular sandwich materials, and foam sandwich materials. Fiber sandwich materials include organic fibers such as animal and plant fibers like cotton, hemp, and wool, which have poor fire and moisture resistance and poor environmental adaptability. Inorganic fiber materials are mainly rock wool and slag wool, which easily cause environmental pollution and harm human health. Granular sandwich materials are mainly perlite series or sound-absorbing blocks or boards made of clay, slag, etc., which have good fire resistance and corrosion resistance, but their sound absorption coefficient is relatively low. Foam sandwich materials mainly include foamed plastics, foamed glass, and foamed metals. Among these, foamed plastics are flammable and prone to aging, while foamed glass has varying degrees of micropore penetration and a relatively low sound absorption coefficient. Foamed aluminum sandwich panels are increasingly widely used due to their advantages such as lightweight, high strength, and recyclability.
[0004] The comprehensive performance of aluminum foam sandwich materials has not yet been fully realized, with applications limited to one aspect of mechanics, acoustics, or thermal performance. Furthermore, existing inventions only study a single characteristic of aluminum foam sandwich materials and lack simulation calculations and design optimization. The development of composite sandwich materials requires extensive testing for verification, resulting in long research and development cycles and low design and development efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a composite sandwich material and its simulation calculation method, which at least solves the problems of low strength and difficulty in connection of single aluminum foam, and the fact that existing aluminum foam sandwich materials are only used in one aspect of mechanics, acoustics, and thermal performance. It also solves the problems of needing to conduct a large number of experiments for verification, long research and development cycle, and low design and development efficiency.
[0006] This invention provides the following solution:
[0007] According to one aspect of the present invention, a composite sandwich material is provided, comprising a sandwich core structure, wherein the sandwich core structure comprises, from top to bottom, an upper panel, a core material and a lower panel;
[0008] The core material is open-cell aluminum foam or open-cell magnesium foam;
[0009] The upper panel is an aluminum alloy plate with micro-perforations on the surface, and the drilling process is laser drilling.
[0010] The microperforations are used to allow sound energy or heat to enter the material for absorption.
[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, due to the use of a sandwich structure, the core material is selected as open-cell aluminum foam or open-cell magnesium foam, and the upper panel is made of aluminum alloy plate with micro-perforations processed by laser drilling. At the same time, the upper and lower panels provide mechanical properties, and the core material provides sound absorption and heat insulation properties. This solves the problems of low strength and difficulty in connection of single aluminum foam, and the fact that existing aluminum foam sandwich materials are only used in one aspect of mechanics, acoustics, and thermals. Therefore, the material has the functions of structural support, sound absorption and noise reduction, and heat insulation and heat resistance, achieving the effect of integrated structure and function.
[0012] Furthermore, the core material has a porosity of 60-80%, a thickness of 5-50 mm, and a pore size of 1-5 mm.
[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, and using open-cell aluminum foam or open-cell magnesium foam with a porosity of 60-80%, a thickness of 5-50mm, and a pore size of 1-5mm as the core material, the sound energy or heat conduction requirements of the micro-perforated upper panel are matched, thus avoiding the problems of low sound absorption coefficient of existing granular sandwich materials and low sound absorption coefficient of foam glass. Therefore, the sound absorption performance of the core material is improved, while also achieving the effects of lightweight and certain mechanical strength.
[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the upper panel is 1~5mm;
[0015] The micro-perforations are circular or elongated, with the diameter of the circular perforations being 0.5~3mm and the width of the elongated perforations being 0.5~1mm and the length being 1~10mm.
[0016] The perforation porosity of the upper panel is 5% to 30%.
[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the upper panel is set to a thickness of 1~5mm to ensure mechanical clamping ability. The micro-perforations are circular or elongated and the perforation porosity is controlled at 5%~30%. This not only avoids the decline in the mechanical properties of the upper panel due to excessively large perforations, but also solves the problem that sound energy and heat are difficult to enter the interior of the material in existing non-perforated panels. Therefore, the upper panel achieves the effect of taking into account both mechanical support and efficient sound energy or heat introduction.
[0018] Furthermore, the microperforations are evenly distributed on the top plate, and the distribution pattern is rectangular, circular or radial.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, since the micro-perforations are evenly distributed in a rectangular, circular or radial pattern on the top plate, it is ensured that sound energy or heat is evenly introduced into the core material in different areas of the top plate, avoiding the problem that sound energy or heat cannot enter due to the absence of perforations in some areas. Therefore, the material achieves a uniform and stable overall sound absorption and heat insulation performance.
[0020] Furthermore, the lower panel is made of aluminum alloy with a thickness of 1~5mm;
[0021] The upper panel, core material and lower panel are connected by bonding or welding.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, since the lower panel is made of 1-5mm thick aluminum alloy material, which is the same as the upper panel material to ensure the consistency of the overall structural mechanical properties, and the three are firmly connected by bonding or welding, the problem of weak connection and easy delamination of existing sandwich materials is avoided. Therefore, the composite sandwich material structure has improved stability and enhanced durability.
[0023] According to two aspects of the present invention, a simulation calculation method for a composite sandwich material is provided, implemented based on ComsolMultiphysics software, for calculating the acoustic, mechanical, and thermal properties of the composite sandwich material, comprising the following steps:
[0024] Step 1: Establish a geometric model: The geometric model for calculating acoustic performance includes the standing wave tube, the test material sample, and the test probe. The geometric model for calculating mechanical or thermal performance is a two-dimensional model, and the thickness of the upper panel, lower panel, core material, and the overall length of the composite material are set.
[0025] Step 2, Define parameters: The parameters defined when calculating acoustic performance include incident wave transfer function, reflected wave transfer function, total sound field transfer function, reflection coefficient and sound absorption coefficient; the parameters defined when calculating mechanical performance include displacement and stiffness calculation parameters of the stress point; and the parameters defined when calculating thermal performance include heat flux calculation parameters and thermal conductivity calculation parameters.
[0026] Step 3: Define materials: Select air as the material for the standing wave tube area, aluminum alloy for both the upper and lower panels of the composite sandwich material, and aluminum alloy for the core material; set material density and sound velocity parameters when calculating acoustic performance, set material parameters when calculating mechanical performance, and set material density, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity parameters when calculating thermal performance.
[0027] Step 4: Set the physical field: When calculating acoustic performance, select pressure acoustics and frequency domain physical field; when calculating mechanical performance, select solid mechanics and steady-state physical field; when calculating thermal performance, select solid heat transfer and steady-state physical field.
[0028] Step 5: Set boundary conditions: Set the corresponding boundary conditions according to the acoustic, mechanical or thermal properties to be calculated.
[0029] Step 6: Mesh generation: Select free tetrahedron as the mesh type. When calculating acoustic performance, set the mesh size to 1 / 5 of the sound velocity / maximum calculation frequency. When calculating mechanical or thermal performance, set the mesh size accordingly.
[0030] Step 7: Set up the study: When calculating acoustic performance, add a calculation step with the frequency unit in Hz, set the starting frequency, maximum frequency and step size parameters, and add a steady-state study when calculating mechanical or thermal performance, and then perform the calculation.
[0031] Step 8: View Results: Create a new 1D plotting group, and create a global plot within the 1D plotting group; when calculating acoustic performance, plot and generate the sound absorption coefficient curve; when calculating mechanical performance, plot and obtain the stiffness coefficient; when calculating thermal performance, calculate the overall thermal conductivity of the composite material according to the heat flux and thermal conductivity calculation formulas.
[0032] In step 5, when the calculated performance is acoustic performance, the boundary conditions are set as follows:
[0033] All regions are set to pressure acoustics, the outer surface is set to hard acoustic field boundary, the incident surface of the standing wave tube is selected as plane radiation wave and the pressure amplitude is set, the core material region is set to porous medium acoustics, the acoustic model is selected as Delany-Bazley-Miki and the properties are from material, the upper surface of the composite material is set as an internal perforated plate and the pore diameter, plate thickness and porosity parameters are set.
[0034] In step 5, when the property to be calculated is a mechanical property, the boundary conditions are set as follows:
[0035] All regions are set as linear elastic materials. Point load boundary conditions are added and the location of the force points, the magnitude and direction of the loads are set. Fixed constraint boundary conditions are added and the upper and lower boundaries of the model are selected.
[0036] In step 2, the stiffness is calculated using the point load force and the displacement of the point under force, where the point load force is F and the displacement of the point under force is point1.
[0037] In step 5, when the performance to be calculated is thermal performance, the boundary conditions are set as follows:
[0038] All regions are set to solid heat transfer, the incident surface is set to temperature boundary conditions, the exit surface is set to temperature boundary conditions, and the upper and lower surfaces are set to thermal insulation boundary conditions.
[0039] In step 2, the heat flux is calculated based on the ht.tefluxMag parameter, and the thermal conductivity is calculated using the heat flux, the temperature difference between the incident and exit surfaces, and the overall thickness of the composite material.
[0040] Following step 8, the following steps are also included:
[0041] Step 9, Parametric Design: Parametric settings are made for the thickness of the upper panel, lower panel, and core material of the composite material. This allows for the parameter setting of material performance parameters or external condition parameters, and parametric scanning calculations are performed to obtain the optimal solution under different parameter combinations. The material performance parameters include density, modulus, sound velocity, and thermal conductivity, while the external condition parameters include sound frequency, pressure magnitude, and external temperature.
[0042] Step 10, APP Development: The calculation process is further developed and the interface is designed to create an independent application. The application includes a function button area, a parameter input area, and a result display area. It has functions for geometric drawing, mesh generation, performance calculation, result display, and document operation. Performance calculation includes sound pressure calculation, sound absorption curve calculation, stress calculation, stiffness coefficient calculation, temperature calculation, and thermal conductivity calculation. Document operation includes saving the file as, clearing the solution, and exiting. The application can be used within the software and can be shared to a website for users to access via a link.
[0043] By adopting the above technical solution, based on ComsolMultiphysics software, matching geometric models are established for acoustic, mechanical, and thermal properties, exclusive parameters are defined, and corresponding physical fields and boundary conditions are set. The calculation accuracy is ensured by using a grid size of 1 / 5 of the sound velocity / maximum calculation frequency. Subsequent parametric design scans and calculates the thickness and material properties of the upper panel, lower panel, core material, and external condition parameters. The APP development simplifies the operation process and solves the problems of traditional composite sandwich material development, which requires a lot of experimental verification, has a long R&D cycle, and low design and development efficiency. Therefore, it achieves accurate and rapid calculation of the sound absorption coefficient, stiffness coefficient, and thermal conductivity of composite sandwich materials, comprehensive parametric design coverage, expanded user scope, and improved design and development efficiency.
[0044] The above solution achieves the following beneficial technical effects:
[0045] This application utilizes a sandwich structure consisting of an upper panel, an open-cell aluminum foam core or an open-cell magnesium foam core, and a lower panel. Combined with a laser micro-perforation design on the upper panel, it achieves a multi-functional composite structure that provides structural support, sound absorption and noise reduction, and heat insulation and heat resistance. This solves the problems of low strength and difficulty in connection of single aluminum foam, as well as the limitations of existing aluminum foam sandwich materials in terms of only mechanical, acoustic, and thermal applications, thereby improving the overall applicability of the material.
[0046] This application achieves a composite sandwich material with sound absorption performance improved by more than 10%, stiffness improved by more than 50%, and thermal conductivity reduced by more than 80% compared to traditional sandwich materials through parameter matching of the core material, thus meeting the material performance requirements of multiple fields.
[0047] This application utilizes ComsolMultiphysics software to construct acoustic, mechanical, and thermal performance simulation models, enabling accurate and rapid calculation of the sound absorption coefficient, stiffness coefficient, and thermal conductivity of composite sandwich materials. This avoids the need for extensive experimental verification in the development of composite sandwich materials, shortens the R&D cycle, and improves design and development efficiency.
[0048] This application performs parametric scanning calculations by setting the thickness of the upper and lower panels and core material of the composite material, as well as the material performance parameters and external condition parameters, to quickly obtain the optimal solution under different parameter combinations, thereby reducing the time cost of parameter optimization.
[0049] This application involves secondary development and interface design of the simulation calculation process to develop an independent APP with function button area, parameter input area and result display area. Users do not need to master complex software operation, but can quickly calculate by inputting specific parameters, thus expanding the user base and further improving the design and development efficiency of composite sandwich materials.

[0065] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0066] Please see the appendix Figure 1 This invention provides a composite sandwich material, including a sandwich core structure, wherein the sandwich core structure consists of an upper panel 2, a core material 3, and a lower panel 4 from top to bottom;
[0067] Core material 3 is open-cell aluminum foam or open-cell magnesium foam;
[0068] The top panel 2 is an aluminum alloy plate with micro-perforations 1 on the surface, and the drilling process is laser drilling;
[0069] Microperforations 1 are used to allow sound energy or heat to enter the interior of the material for absorption.
[0070] Specifically, in this sandwich structure, the upper panel 2 and the lower panel 4 provide mechanical properties, while the core material 3 provides sound absorption and heat insulation properties. This can solve the problems of low strength and difficulty in connection of single aluminum foam, while avoiding the limitations of existing aluminum foam sandwich materials that are only applied in one aspect of mechanics, acoustics, or thermal performance.
[0071] In this embodiment, the core material 3 has a porosity of 60-80%, a thickness of 5-50 mm, and a pore size of 1-5 mm.
[0072] Specifically, the porosity, thickness, and pore size parameters of the core material 3 can match the acoustic energy or heat conduction requirements of the micro-perforations 1 of the upper panel 2, avoiding the problems of low sound absorption coefficient of existing granular sandwich materials and low sound absorption coefficient of foam glass.
[0073] In this embodiment, the thickness of the upper panel 2 is 1~5mm;
[0074] The micro-perforation 1 is circular or elongated. The diameter of the circular through-hole is 0.5~3mm, and the width of the elongated through-hole is 0.5~1mm and the length is 1~10mm.
[0075] The perforation porosity of the upper panel 2 is 5%~30%.
[0076] Specifically, the thickness of the upper panel 2 ensures its mechanical clamping ability, and the shape, size and porosity of the micro-perforations 1 ensure that acoustic energy or heat can enter the interior of the material while avoiding a decrease in the mechanical properties of the upper panel 2.
[0077] In this embodiment, the micro-perforations 1 are evenly distributed on the top plate 2, and the distribution pattern is rectangular, circular or radial.
[0078] Specifically, the uniform distribution and different distribution patterns of the micro-perforations 1 allow sound energy or heat to be uniformly introduced into the core material 3 in different areas of the upper plate 2, ensuring the overall sound absorption and heat insulation performance of the material is stable.
[0079] In this embodiment, the lower panel 4 is made of aluminum alloy with a thickness of 1~5mm;
[0080] The upper panel 2, core material 3 and lower panel 4 are connected by adhesive or welding.
[0081] Specifically, the material and thickness of the lower panel 4 can ensure the consistency of the overall mechanical properties of the composite sandwich material, and the bonding or welding connection method can achieve a firm connection of the three and avoid delamination.
[0082] Please see the appendix Figure 14 A simulation calculation method for composite sandwich materials, implemented using ComsolMultiphysics software, is used to calculate the acoustic, mechanical, and thermal properties of composite sandwich materials. The method includes the following steps:
[0083] Step 1: Establish a geometric model: The geometric model for calculating acoustic performance includes a standing wave tube, a test material sample, and a test probe. The geometric model for calculating mechanical or thermal performance is a two-dimensional model, and the thicknesses of the upper panel 2, lower panel 4, core material 3, and the overall length of the composite material are set.
[0084] Step 2, Define parameters: The parameters defined when calculating acoustic performance include incident wave transfer function, reflected wave transfer function, total sound field transfer function, reflection coefficient and sound absorption coefficient; the parameters defined when calculating mechanical performance include displacement and stiffness calculation parameters of the stress point; and the parameters defined when calculating thermal performance include heat flux calculation parameters and thermal conductivity calculation parameters.
[0085] Step 3, Define Materials: Select air as the material for the standing wave tube area, select aluminum alloy for both the upper panel 2 and lower panel 4 of the composite sandwich material, and select aluminum alloy for the core material 3; set material density and sound velocity parameters when calculating acoustic performance, set material parameters when calculating mechanical performance, and set material density, thermal conductivity, and specific heat capacity parameters when calculating thermal performance.
[0086] Step 4: Set the physical field: When calculating acoustic performance, select pressure acoustics and frequency domain physical field; when calculating mechanical performance, select solid mechanics and steady-state physical field; when calculating thermal performance, select solid heat transfer and steady-state physical field.
[0087] Step 5: Set boundary conditions: Set the corresponding boundary conditions according to the acoustic, mechanical or thermal properties to be calculated.
[0088] Step 6: Mesh generation: Select free tetrahedron as the mesh type. When calculating acoustic performance, set the mesh size to 1 / 5 of the sound velocity / maximum calculation frequency. When calculating mechanical or thermal performance, set the mesh size accordingly.
[0089] Step 7: Set up the study: When calculating acoustic performance, add a calculation step with the frequency unit in Hz, set the starting frequency, maximum frequency and step size parameters, and add a steady-state study when calculating mechanical or thermal performance, and then perform the calculation.
[0090] Step 8: View Results: Create a new one-dimensional drawing group, and create a global drawing within the one-dimensional drawing group; when calculating acoustic performance, draw and generate the sound absorption coefficient curve; when calculating mechanical performance, draw and obtain the stiffness coefficient; when calculating thermal performance, calculate the overall thermal conductivity of the composite material according to the heat flux and thermal conductivity calculation formulas.
[0091] Specifically, this simulation calculation method can avoid the problem of needing a lot of experimental verification in the development of composite sandwich materials, and solve the limitations of existing technologies such as lack of simulation calculation and design optimization, long R&D cycle and low design and development efficiency, so as to achieve accurate and rapid calculation of material properties.
[0092] In this embodiment, when the calculated performance is acoustic performance, the boundary condition settings in step 5 include:
[0093] All regions are set to pressure acoustics, the outer surface is set to hard acoustic field boundary, the incident surface of the standing wave tube is selected as plane radiation wave and the pressure amplitude is set, the core material region is set to porous medium acoustics, the acoustic model is selected as Delany-Bazley-Miki and the properties are from material, the upper surface of the composite material is set as an internal perforated plate and the pore diameter, plate thickness and porosity parameters are set.
[0094] Specifically, the boundary condition settings can match the acoustic performance calculation requirements, where the acoustic model of the core material region and the parameter settings of the perforated plate on the upper surface of the composite material correspond to the structural characteristics of the composite sandwich material.
[0095] In this embodiment, in step 5, when the property to be calculated is a mechanical property, the boundary conditions are set as follows:
[0096] All regions are set as linear elastic materials. Point load boundary conditions are added and the location of the force points, the magnitude and direction of the loads are set. Fixed constraint boundary conditions are added and the upper and lower boundaries of the model are selected.
[0097] In step 2, the stiffness is calculated using the point load force and the displacement of the point under load, where the point load force is F and the displacement of the point under load is point1.
[0098] Specifically, the linear elastic material setting and point load, fixed constraint boundary conditions can simulate the actual stress scenario of composite sandwich materials, and the stiffness calculation method is consistent with the definition logic of mechanical performance parameters.
[0099] In this embodiment, when the performance to be calculated is thermal performance, the boundary conditions in step 5 include:
[0100] All regions are set to solid heat transfer, the incident surface is set to temperature boundary conditions, the exit surface is set to temperature boundary conditions, and the upper and lower surfaces are set to thermal insulation boundary conditions.
[0101] In step 2, the heat flux is calculated based on the ht.tefluxMag parameter, and the thermal conductivity is calculated using the heat flux, the temperature difference between the incident and exit surfaces, and the overall thickness of the composite material.
[0102] Specifically, thermal insulation boundary conditions can eliminate interference from heat exchange between the upper and lower surfaces, and the calculation parameters for heat flux and thermal conductivity can accurately reflect the thermal properties of composite materials.
[0103] In this embodiment, the following steps are included after step 8:
[0104] Step 9, Parametric Design: The thickness of the upper panel 2, lower panel 4, and core material 3 of the composite material is parametrically set. This allows for the parametric setting of material performance parameters or external condition parameters, and parametric scanning calculations to obtain the optimal solution under different parameter combinations. The material performance parameters include density, modulus, sound velocity, and thermal conductivity, while the external condition parameters include sound frequency, pressure magnitude, and external temperature.
[0105] Step 10, APP Development: Perform secondary development and interface design on the calculation process to develop an independent application. The application includes a function button area, parameter input area, and result display area, and has functions for geometric drawing, mesh generation, performance calculation, result display, and document operation.

Document operation includes saving the file as, clearing the solution, and exiting. The application can be used within the software and can be shared to a website for users to access via a link.
[0106] Specifically, parametric design enables rapid scanning of different parameter combinations, while APP development simplifies the operation process, eliminating the need for users to master complex software operations. Both can improve the design and development efficiency of composite sandwich materials.

[0121] This embodiment describes how to quickly obtain the sound absorption coefficient curve of a composite material by parametrically adjusting the thicknesses of the upper panel 2, core material 3, and lower panel 4 at a fixed thickness.
[0122] Step 1, Establish the geometric model: Establish the geometric model of the standing wave tube, specifically a cylinder with a diameter of 100mm and a length of 500mm.
