Abstract
Mechanical metamaterials with plate lattice architectures have been proven to possess specific stiffness and strength superior to that of traditional truss lattice structures. Current research mainly focuses on the mechanical properties of plate lattice skeletons, leaving interpenetrating composites with plate lattice architectures unexplored. In this work, plate lattice interpenetrating composites have been prepared by filling epoxy resin matrix to additively manufactured stainless steel plate lattice skeletons. By conducting uniaxial quasi-static compression tests and performing finite element analysis, mechanical performance and deformation patterns of plate lattice interpenetrating composites have been revealed. Results show that Young’s modulus and yield strength of plate lattice skeletons can be greatly enhanced by introducing an epoxy resin matrix to form interpenetrating composites. In addition, interpenetrating composites have been observed to deform stably without shear damage or fracture, facilitating the increase of energy-absorbing capability. Specific energy absorption of interpenetrating composites is up to three times higher than that of corresponding pure skeletons, which could extend the potentials of plate lattice metamaterials in energy-absorbing applications.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
