Vibration and damping performance of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer 3D double-arrow-head auxetic metamaterials

摘要

The vibration and damping performances of carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) three-dimensional double-arrow-head (3D DAH) auxetic metamaterials are investigated in this paper. The negative Poisson's ratio effects of the CFRP 3D DAH auxetic metamaterials are analytically studied by the energy method. 3D finite element models based on Modal Strain Energy approach are developed to analyze their vibration and damping characteristics. To validate the numerical models in the present study, the CFRP 3D DAH auxetic metamaterials are designed and manufactured. The sine-sweep response tests are conducted to investigate their vibration performances. The influence of different inclined corrugated angles, and fiber orientations on the natural frequencies, loss factors and the nominal Young's modulus are plotted and discussed using validated numerical models. Meanwhile, the effect of Poisson's ratio on the nominal Young's modulus, natural frequencies and loss factors is also revealed explicitly. Furthermore, the comprehensive evaluation parameter that simultaneously characterizes the structural bearing capacity and vibration damping performance is further improved through parameter optimization.
