摘要
The interest of aerospace and automotive fields in the improvement of energy absorption properties of composite materials has stimulated researchers to design new typologies of cores of sandwich -structures under impact events. In this work, a sandwich structure based on pre -stressed bistable carbon fibre composite core is proposed. The core, named Circular Prestressed Carbon Core (CPCC), takes advantage of the asymmetric fibres orientation and the bistability-concept to enhance energy dissipation and reduce the damage extension during impacts. The impact campaign was conducted both experimentally and numerically to analyse the mechanical properties of the core and to study the contribution of the residual stresses. Experimental results were compared with an aerospace -grade aluminium honeycomb -core and a not -prestressed version of the core. Results proved its unique impact characteristics, showing, an improvement of the maximum -force up to 171 % and 23 % in comparison with aluminium honeycomb and not -prestressed CPCC, respectively. The specific properties of the CPCC were considerably higher than the aluminium sandwich, with peak force values up to +75 %, displacement reduced up to -71 %, and non-destructive evaluation (NDE) test showed a reduction of the projected damaged area by similar to 20 %. These results demonstrates that the CPCC structure constitutes a novel high-performance sandwich core for improved impact resistance.
