Dry friction damping mechanism of flexible microporous metal rubber based on cell group energy dissipation mechanism

Abstract

Flexible microporous metal rubber (FMP-MR) is a high-damping material that dissipates energy by dry friction through internal spiral metal wires in contact with each other. However, the FMP-MR energy dissipation mechanism is not fully understood owing to its disordered grid interpenetrating structure. In this work, computer-aided preparation technology is used to accurately reconstruct the complex spiral network structure of FMP-MR multipoint random contact, and a cell group model with an energy dissipation mechanism is proposed to obtain the dynamic energy distribution of the contact friction in both space and time dimensions. By judging the effective contact point, a global displacement ablation phenomenon of hooked staggered porous materials is induced. The macro- and micro-equivalent frictions are introduced to effectively explain the characteristics of the strong energy dissipation in FMP-MR under fretting excitation. A real and effective damping hysteresis constitutive model is then constructed to dynamically capture the mapping relationship between the complex nonlinear topological structure effect of the materials and spatial random contact dry friction in real time. The results indicate that the contact behavior between turns of the FMP-MR wire follows a clear quasi-Gaussian distribution under an external load, forcing the topological results to change. The energy dissipation of the materials revealed peak energy consumption lagging behind the loading limit for a certain distance, which can be determined by the effective contact point and contact dry friction slip. The consistency between the quasi-static compression tests and constitutive curves of the model was quantitatively verified through residual analysis. The data demonstrated the differential behavior of the FMP-MR meso-structure to follow a phased growth law during loading with different action mechanisms in the guiding, main growth, and relaxation stages of the energy consumption displacement curve. In summary, these findings provide an acceptable theoretical basis for the damping energy consumption mechanism and lifetime prediction of FMP-MR.

Study on viscoelasticity and damping properties of OSA/PAAM hydrogel

“…The principle is to convert the mechanical energy associated with the impact into thermal energy dissipation through spatial momentum transfer driven by velocity gradients to achieve vibration and noise reduction [3,4]. At present, the common damping materials mainly include metal-based damping materials [5], polymer based damping material[6], smart damping materials and damping composites [2,7,8]. Among them, polymer-based damping materials have been widely studied because of their light speci c gravity and easy processing [9].…”

Research on mechanical properties of metal entangled structure‐silicone rubber composite vibration damping materials

“…Porous metallic materials mainly include powder sintered porous materials, through‐hole aluminum foam, spherical through‐hole aluminum foam, closed‐hole aluminum foam, honeycomb aluminum, [ 10 ] sintered copper fiber porous skeletons, [ 11 ] monofilament wound titanium materials, [ 12 ] 3D printed porous tantalum, [ 13 ] sintered porous titanium, [ 14 ] woven mesh metal entangled structure, [ 15 ] woven‐in‐groove metal entangled structure, [ 16 ] and metal entangled structure. [ 17,18 ] It is a new type of material with excellent characteristics such as adjustable pore size and pore space, high permeability, high‐temperature resistance, strong processability, diverse and stable shapes, and so forth. Unlike single dense metal materials, its porosity, diversity, and designable preparation process have greatly expanded and extended its performance and largely broadened the scope of application of the material.…”

Experimental Investigation of Wave Propagation Characteristics in Entangled Metallic Wire Materials by Acoustic Emission

“…The static mechanical characteristics of EMWMs have been extensively studied, including analyses of their structural organization [ 8 ], mechanical experiments [ 9 , 10 , 11 ], and constitutive model investigations [ 12 , 13 ]. In terms of dynamic characteristics, the literature primarily focuses on the study of low-frequency vibrations (0–500 Hz) [ 14 , 15 ] and energy absorption properties [ 16 , 17 ]. There is a lack of literature reporting on the mechanical characteristics of EMWMs in a higher frequency range (up to the level of several kHz), which limits their application in the field of acoustic frequency mechanical vibration isolation.…”
