This paper presents an investigation on the stiffness and energy absorption capabilities of three proposed biomimetic structures based on the internal architecture of a cornstalk. 3D printing was used to manufacture specimens using a tough and impact-resistant thermoplastic material, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). The structural stiffness, maximum stress, densification strain, and energy absorption were extracted from the compression tests performed at a strain rate of 10 s. A numerical model was developed to analyse the behaviour of the biomimetic structures under compression loading. Further, a damage examination was conducted through optical microscopy and profilometry. The results showed that the cornstalk-inspired biomimetic structure exhibited a superior specific energy absorption (SEA) capability that was three times higher than that of the other core designs as reported in the literature.
本文基于玉米秸秆的内部结构,对三种仿生结构的刚度和能量吸收能力进行了研究。采用3D打印技术,使用坚韧且抗冲击的热塑性材料丙烯腈-丁二烯-苯乙烯(ABS)制造试样。在应变率为10 s的压缩试验中提取结构刚度、最大应力、致密化应变和能量吸收。开发了一个数值模型来分析仿生结构在压缩载荷下的行为。此外,通过光学显微镜和轮廓仪进行了损伤检查。结果表明,受玉米秸秆启发的仿生结构具有卓越的比能量吸收(SEA)能力,比文献报道的其他核心设计高出三倍。
