摘要
The deformation process and energy absorption of metal wire mesh tubes under quasi-static expanding by a hemispherical-cylindrical indenter were investigated by experimental tests, finite element (FE) simulations and analytical modelling. Stainless steel and aluminum alloy tubes were tested on an MTS universal testing machine at a speed of 10 mm/min. The effects of mesh cell size and friction coefficient on the quasi-static force and specific energy absorption (SEA) were examined by FE analysis and analytical modelling. The analysis reveals that a combination of the mesh cell size and cross section dimension of the wire governs the energy absorption of tubes of equal overall dimension (diameter and length) and masses. In general, a decrease of the size of cells with constant height-to-width ratios leads to an increase of the specific energy absorption mainly due to the increased number of cells within the deformed region. An increase of the specific energy absorption is also achieved when the cell size is reduced by only decreasing the cell height. The maximum indenter force predicted by the proposed analytical model of the expanded tube deformation agrees well with the experimental results and FE simulations.
