Energy absorption of new thin-walled, multi-cellular, tubular structures with Sierpinski hierarchical characteristics under axial impact

摘要:
为提高薄壁结构的吸能能力，基于Sierpinski分形结构提出了一种具有层级特性的新型薄壁管，即Sierpinski层级管（Sierpinski hierarchical tube, SHT）。采用非线性有限元法对SHTs在轴向冲击载荷作用下的变形模式和能量吸收特性进行了数值分析，并与普通三角形薄壁管在轴向冲击载荷作用下的变形模式和能量吸收特性进行了对比。结果表明：SHTs的变形模式为轴对称渐进屈曲模式，在薄壁管中引入Sierpinski层级特性后，胞壁弯曲过程的半折叠波长减小，促使压缩过程中形成更多的塑性折叠单元，有利于提高薄壁结构能量吸收能力。进一步基于能量守恒理论和塑性铰理论对SHTs的轴向压缩应力进行理论求解，并通过有限元数值模拟验证其准确性。在相同的相对密度下，一阶、二阶及三阶SHTs的动态压缩应力较普通三角形薄壁管的动态压缩应力提高了85.8%、138.2%和183.8%。将Sierpinski层级特性引入薄壁管的设计中，能够有效提高薄壁管的耐撞性能。

Abstract:In order to improve the energy absorption capacity of thin-walled structures, a new type of thin-walled tube (SHT) with hierarchical characteristic was proposed based on the Sierpinski fractal structure. The deformation mode and energy absorption characteristics of SHTs under axial impact load were simulated using the nonlinear finite element method, and compared with those of ordinary triangular thin-walled tubes. The results show that the deformation mode of the new SHT is an axisymmetric progressive buckling mode. With the introduction of the Sierpinski hierarchical characteristics, the half-folded wavelength of the cell wall bending process is reduced, hence more plastic folding elements are formed and more energy is absorbed. Furthermore, theoretical expressions of the axial compression stress were obtained based on the energy conservation theory and plastic hinge theory. The correctness of the theoretical formula was verified by comparing with the finite element simulation. The results display that under the same relative density, the dynamic compressive stresses of the first-, second- and third-order SHTs are 85.8%, 138.2% and 183.8%, respectively, higher than that of the ordinary triangular thin-walled tubes. The introduction of the Sierpinski hierarchical characteristics into the design of the thin-walled tubes can effectively improve the crashworthiness of the thin-walled tubes, and it can provide a reference for the research and design of new energy absorbers.
