Abstract

In this article, the thermomechanical properties of a composite sandwich plate with functionally graded (FG) surface layers and a metamaterial honeycomb core layer are investigated under temperature loading. The hexagonal honeycomb core plate is sandwiched between two surface plates with FG stainless steel (SUS304) and zirconia (ZrO2) metal-ceramic matrix. The mechanical and thermal behavior of the core and surface layers changes depending on the temperature. The change in temperature across the plate thickness is regarded as non-linear. Power law functions and Gibson's equations are employed to specify the equivalent effective material properties of the sandwich plate. Numerical analyses are carried out to investigate the effect of variables such as geometrical parameters of the honeycomb structure, temperature rise and power law parameter on the variation of the thermomechanical material behavior of the sandwich plate. According to the simulation results, it is concluded that the desired thermal and mechanical properties can be tuned by adjusting the honeycomb cell geometric configurations and the material compositions of the FG plates. It is also emphasized that the combination of mechanical and thermal properties in honeycomb structures enables them to perform effectively in demanding environments, where both strength and thermal resistance are required.

Metamalzeme Bal Peteği Merkez Katmanlı Fonksiyonel Derecelendirilmiş Sandviç Kompozit Plakaların Termomekanik Malzeme Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

Bu makalede, fonksiyonel olarak derecelendirilmiş (FD) yüzey plakalarına ve bir metamalzeme bal peteği merkez plaka katmanına sahip kompozit bir sandviç plakanın termomekanik özellikleri sıcaklık yükü etkisi altında incelenmiştir. Altıgen bal peteği merkez plakası, FG paslanmaz çelik (SUS304) ve zirkonya (ZrO2) metal-seramik matrisli iki yüzey plakası arasına sandviç edilmiştir. Merkez plaka ve yüzey plakaların mekanik ve termal özellikleri sıcaklığa bağlı olarak değişmektedir. Plaka kalınlığı boyunca sıcaklıktaki değişim nonlineer olarak kabul edilmiştir. Sandviç plakanın eşdeğer etkin malzeme özelliklerini belirlemek için güç yasası fonksiyonları ve Gibson denklemleri kullanılmıştır. Petek yapının geometrik parametreleri, sıcaklık artışı ve güç kanunu parametresi gibi değişkenlerin sandviç plakanın termomekanik malzeme davranışının değişimi üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak için sayısal analizler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, petek hücrelerin geometrik konfigürasyonlarının ve FG plakalarının malzeme bileşimlerinin ayarlanmasıyla istenen termal ve mekanik özelliklerin ayarlanabileceği sonucuna varılmıştır. Ayrıca, bal peteği yapılardaki mekanik ve termal özelliklerin kombinasyonunun hem mukavemet hem de termal direncin gerekli olduğu zorlu ortamlarda etkili bir şekilde performans göstermelerini sağladığı vurgulanmıştır.
