Abstract
In this study, experiments and numerical simulations are designed on aluminum sandwich structures with a hemispherical-shell core layer under underwater impact loading to investigate the dynamic response and energy absorption mechanisms. After the hemispherical-shell sandwich panels are designed and fabricated, they are loaded using an experimental apparatus incorporating fluid–structure interactions. The dynamic response of the sandwich panels is captured using the three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) method of high-speed photography, and the energy-absorption mechanisms are analyzed via numerical simulation. This study primarily considers the effects of installation orientation, shock wave impulse and adhesive film on the sandwich panels. The results indicate that the deformation mode and impact resistance of the sandwich panels vary depending on the installation orientation. The displacement at the midpoint of the dry facesheet is linearly related to the shock wave impulse. At non-dimensional impulses exceeding 0.0085, the impact resistance of the forward installation target plate is higher. Additionally, the adhesive film significantly affects the deformation mode of the hemispherical-shell core layer. Its removal slightly increases the proportion of energy absorbed at the core. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the structure-response-energy relationship are performed on the hemispherical-shell sandwich panels, thus providing guidance for investigations pertaining to the underwater impact resistance of future metal sandwich structures.
期刊介绍：
Thin-walled structures comprises an important and growing proportion of engineering construction with areas of application becoming increasingly diverse, ranging from aircraft, bridges, ships and oil rigs to storage vessels, industrial buildings and warehouses.
Many factors, including cost and weight economy, new materials and processes and the growth of powerful methods of analysis have contributed to this growth, and led to the need for a journal which concentrates specifically on structures in which problems arise due to the thinness of the walls. This field includes cold– formed sections, plate and shell structures, reinforced plastics structures and aluminium structures, and is of importance in many branches of engineering.
The primary criterion for consideration of papers in Thin–Walled Structures is that they must be concerned with thin–walled structures or the basic problems inherent in thin–walled structures. Provided this criterion is satisfied no restriction is placed on the type of construction, material or field of application. Papers on theory, experiment, design, etc., are published and it is expected that many papers will contain aspects of all three.
