激光增材制造薄壁蜂窝多孔结构的优化设计及力学性能研究

    Optimal Design and Mechanical Properties Study of Thin-walled Honeycomb Porous Structures Prepared by Laser Additive Manufacturing

    • 摘要: 薄壁多孔结构对于轻量化设计至关重要,激光增材制造在复杂薄壁结构的制造中极具优势。为了提升多孔结构的面内承载特性,以六边形蜂窝(hexagonal hoeycomb,HH)结构为例,在其中引入了添加辅助支撑结构的创新概念,通过结构优化,利用选区激光熔化技术制备了316L不锈钢边缘增强蜂窝(BEEH)和平面增强蜂窝(BPEH)两种新型结构。结果表明:在相同孔隙率条件下,BEEH和BPEH结构的弹性模量和屈服强度均高于HH结构,分别比HH结构提高了121.83%、76.75%和163.20%、102.30%。在压缩变形过程中,各结构应力分布存在差异,HH结构的应力集中在边缘交叉处,BEEH和BPEH结构应力分布均匀。HH结构表现为“X”形变形破坏模式,而BEEH和BPEH结构呈现出“Ⅰ”变形破坏模式。研究结果有望为吸能装置的设计和轻量化技术的实现提供理论指导和技术支持。

       

      Abstract: The lightweight design heavily relies on thin-walled porous structures, and laser additive manufacturing has great advantages in the manufacture of complex thin-walled structures. To enhance the in-plane load-bearing properties of porous structures, the innovative concept of introducing additional supporting structures was applied to the hexagonal honeycomb(HH) structure. Through structural optimization and utilizing selective laser melting technology, two new structures, namely edge-enhanced honeycomb(BEEH) and plane-enhanced honeycomb(BPEH), were fabricated. The results show that under the same porosity conditions, both BEEH and BPEH exhibit higher elastic modulus and yield strength compared with the HH structure, with increase of 121.83%, 76.75% and 163.20%, 102.30% respectively. During compressive deformation, the stress distribution differs among the structures, and for the HH structure, it concentrates at the edge intersections, while BEEH and BPEH show uniform stress distribution. The HH structure demonstrates an "X" type deformation failure mode, whereas BEEH and BPEH structures exhibit an "I" type deformation failure mode. These research findings are expected to offer theoretical guidance and technical support for the design of energy absorption devices and the realization of lightweight technologies.
