Abstract
Sandwich sheets comprising continuous carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) are applied mainly in the aerospace industry due to their light weight and high rigidity. However, sandwich sheets require separate formation and bonding of the face sheets and core, resulting in high labor costs and early fracture due to delamination of the adhesive layer. The purpose of this study is to overcome these problems by integrating sandwich sheet using additive manufacturing. The mechanical properties of the integrally formed sandwich sheets were compared with those of adhesively formed sandwich sheets using a three-point bending test. The strain distribution was captured by digital image correlation (DIC) during the test. Additionally, the geometric design parameters of a core with superior mechanical properties were investigated. The test results showed that the integrally formed specimens exhibited superior properties compared to those of the adhesively formed specimens. It was also observed that the larger the width angle of the corrugated core, the better the mechanical properties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal publishes and disseminates original research in the field of material forming. The research should constitute major achievements in the understanding, modeling or simulation of material forming processes. In this respect ‘forming’ implies a deliberate deformation of material.
The journal establishes a platform of communication between engineers and scientists, covering all forming processes, including sheet forming, bulk forming, powder forming, forming in near-melt conditions (injection moulding, thixoforming, film blowing etc.), micro-forming, hydro-forming, thermo-forming, incremental forming etc. Other manufacturing technologies like machining and cutting can be included if the focus of the work is on plastic deformations.
All materials (metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, glass, wood, fibre reinforced materials, materials in food processing, biomaterials, nano-materials, shape memory alloys etc.) and approaches (micro-macro modelling, thermo-mechanical modelling, numerical simulation including new and advanced numerical strategies, experimental analysis, inverse analysis, model identification, optimization, design and control of forming tools and machines, wear and friction, mechanical behavior and formability of materials etc.) are concerned.
