Title: 3D printed hierarchical honeycombs with shape integrity under large compressive deformations

Article Details
Other Related Research

Here, we describe the in-plane compressive performance of a new type of hierarchical cellular structure created by replacing cell walls in regular honeycombs with triangular lattice configurations. The fabrication of this relatively complex material architecture with size features spanning from micrometer to centimeter is facilitated by the availability of commercial 3D printers. We apply to these hierarchical honeycombs a thermal treatment that facilitates the shape preservation and structural integrity of the structures under large compressive loading. The proposed hierarchical honeycombs exhibit a progressive failure mode, along with improved stiffness and energy absorption under uniaxial compression. High energy dissipation and shape integrity at large imposed strains (up to 60%) have also been observed in these hierarchical honeycombs under cyclic loading. Experimental and numerical studies suggest that these anomalous mechanical behaviors are attributed to the introduction of a structural hierarchy, intrinsically controlled by the cell wall slenderness of the triangular lattice and by the shape memory effect induced by the thermal and mechanical compressive treatment.

3D Printed Silicones with Shape Memory

Journal Article Wu, Amanda S. ; Small IV, Ward ; Bryson, Taylor M. ; ... July 2017 - Scientific Reports

Direct ink writing enables the layer-by-layer manufacture of ordered, porous structures whose mechanical behavior is driven by architecture and material properties. Here, we incorporate two different gas filled microsphere pore formers to evaluate the effect of shell stiffness and T _g on compressive behavior and compression set in siloxane matrix printed structures. The lower T _g microsphere structures exhibit substantial compression set when heated near and above T _g, with full structural recovery upon reheating without constraint. By contrast, the higher T _g microsphere structures exhibit reduced compression set with no recovery upon reheating. Aside from their role in tuningmore »« less

In-plane crashworthiness of bio-inspired hierarchical honeycombs

Journal Article Yin, Hanfeng ; Huang, Xiaofei ; Scarpa, Fabrizio ; ... March 2018 - Composite Structures

Biological tissues like bone, wood, and sponge possess hierarchical cellular topologies, which are lightweight and feature an excellent energy absorption capability. Here we present a system of bio-inspired hierarchical honeycomb structures based on hexagonal, Kagome, and triangular tessellations. The hierarchical designs and a reference regular honeycomb configuration are subjected to simulated in-plane impact using the nonlinear finite element code LS-DYNA. The numerical simulation results show that the triangular hierarchical honeycomb provides the best performance compared to the other two hierarchical honeycombs, and features more than twice the energy absorbed by the regular honeycomb under similar loading conditions. We also proposemore »« less
In situ, 3D characterization of the deformation mechanics of a superelastic NiTi shape memory alloy single crystal under multiscale constraint

Journal Article Paranjape, Harshad M. ; Paul, Partha P. ; Amin-Ahmadi, Behnam ; ... November 2017 - Acta Materialia

Microstructural elements in NiTi shape memory alloys (SMAs) – precipitates, phase boundaries, inclusions, grain boundaries – can be viewed as sources of multiscale constraint that influence their deformation response. In this paper, we characterized in situ, and in 3D, the deformation and the evolution of microstructure during a tension test in a superelastic NiTi specimen containing some of these sources of constraint. The method used was far-field high-energy X-ray diffraction microscopy (ff-HEDM), complemented by electron microscopy. We simulated the local stress state in the specimen using a microstructural model informed by the experimental data. Using these combined microstructure, deformation, andmore »« less

Chemically induced large-gap quantum anomalous Hall insulator states in III-Bi honeycombs

Journal Article Crisostomo, Christian P. ; Huang, Zhi -Quan ; Hsu, Chia -Hsiu ; ... September 2017 - npj Computational Materials

The search for novel materials with new functionalities and applications potential is continuing to intensify. Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect was recently realized in magnetic topological insulators (TIs) but only at extremely low temperatures. Here, based on our first-principles electronic structure calculations, we predict that chemically functionalized III-Bi honeycombs can support large-gap QAH insulating phases. Specifically, we show that functionalized AlBi and TlBi films harbor QAH insulator phases. GaBi and InBi are identified as semimetals with non-zero Chern number. Remarkably, TlBi exhibits a robust QAH phase with a band gap as large as 466 meV in a buckled honeycomb structuremore »« less
