Axial deformability of the composite lattice cylindrical shell under compressive loading: Application to a load-carrying spacecraft tubular body

The compressive behavior of a composite cylindrical pyramidal lattice structure manufactured with a new production methodology

“…Multifunctional advantages and unique properties of lattice truss cellular structures have found their application in various engineering fields ranging from compression-resistant sandwich panels [1][2][3][4][5] to active cooling. 6,7 From a structural perspective, cell materials with lattice truss structures are competitive with closed cellular constructions such as honeycombs and are generally better than fortuitous foams.…”

“…has explored new ways for designing lightweight multifunctional structures. 1,[14][15][16][17][18][19] The implementation of new production methods including kirigami methods, 18,20 slot-fitting or snap-fitting, 17,21 laser cutting, 22 hot press molding, 23,24 pultruded unidirectional (UD) carbon fiber composite rods, 25 filament winding, [2][3][4]26 and truss woven sandwiches 27 has improved the fabrication of low-density lattice cores. An example of using these methods is the work of Jiang et al, 28 in which a composite slot-fitted orthogrid core was co-cured with cylindrical skins fabricated by the filament winding method.…”

“…Hu et al, 29 Sun et al, 30 and Xiong et al 31 investigated the bending response and failure mode of 3D truss sandwich structures. There are prominent works of literature on the mechanical behavior of lattice core sandwich structures including axial compression, [1][2][3][4]26 in-plane compression, 18,23,32 out-of-plane compression, 17,19,[22][23][24] shear loading, 19,[21][22][23] and frequency response; 15,26,33 moreover, a failure mechanism map is provided in some articles. 1,14,29 In this study, the effects of fiber volume fraction, structure vacuum and fiber pre-tension are being studied on failure load during the construction of the cylindrical pyramidal lattice structure (CPLS) of a carbon fiber composite.…”

Initial and progressive failure analysis of a composite pyramidal lattice cylinder under axial loading: A comparison with experimental results

“…As a result, studies on these structures have increased. Some studies have been considered two-dimensional topologies of isogrid, 10,11 anisogrid 10,12,13 and honeycomb 4,14 cores as well as three-dimensional topologies of pyramidal, 6–8,15–20 tetrahedral, 21,22 kagome, 23 X-type, 24,25 octet-truss 26,27 and corrugated 9,28 cores. Furthermore, the effect of using metal 5,7,27,29 and fiber reinforced composite (FRC) materials 17–26 on the capability of carrying various loading has been investigated.…”

“…Furthermore, the effect of using metal 5,7,27,29 and fiber reinforced composite (FRC) materials 17–26 on the capability of carrying various loading has been investigated. Examples of these loadings are axial compression, 10–13 in-plane compression, 17,19,25,28,29 and out-of-plane compression 4,16,21–25,27,29 loads as well as on three-point bending, 23,28 torsion, 18 shear loading, 16,21,25–29 and impact loading. 5–7,14 Researches have shown that the use of carbon-FRC in comparison with metal materials, in addition to improving the mechanical behavior of structures, can lead to high fuel efficiency in naval ships and submarine propellers.…”
