考虑弯曲特性的局部受压钢-混凝土组合管截面设计方法
This paper presents a Eurocode-based design approach for composite steel–concrete tubular members subjected subjected to localized transverse compression and three-point bending, considered as distinct loading cases relevant to practical structural applications. The study examines the interaction mechanis ms between the steel shell and the confined concrete core and the resulting transformation of governing failure modes. Square and rectangular hollow sections, including robotic arc-welded box members, are investigated to clarify the structural response under localized crushing and global flexural loading. A mechanical-informed an alytical formulation is developed by extending the regulated bearing resistance model with an explicit concrete contribution derived from confinement-enhanced compressive behavior. The approach incorporates the effective load-transfer width and accounts for triaxial stress development in the concrete core and membrane-assisted action in the steel shell, capturing the transition from instability-dominated sidewall deformation to strength-controlled chord face crushing. An experimental program supported by geometrically and materially advanced finite element an alyses is conducted to validate the proposed assumptions and to elucidate the coupled load-transfer mechanis ms. The results demonstrate that concrete infill significantly enhances bearing resistance by restraining sidewall instability, promoting stress redistribution, and increasing post-yield stiffness. Based on the combined findings, design-oriented expressions consistent with Eurocode principles are proposed to quantify the composite contribution to the local resistance of tubular members.

压缩法向应力下拉挤复合材料层间剪切黏聚带模型的反识别
Existing interlaminar Cohesive Zone Model (CZM) for composite materials are typically derived based on priori shape of the Traction–Separation Law (TSL) and often neglect the influence of compressive normal stress, leading to significant discrepancies in the modeling of interlaminar failure. This study proposed a Symmetric Double-Notched Shear (SDNS) tests under varying compressive stress levels. The shear relative displacements are captured using Digital Image Correlation (DIC), and the relationship between the J-integral and shear relative displacement is employed to inversely identify the CZM of Pultruded Fiber Reinforced Polymers (PFRP) under different compressive normal stress and initial crack lengths. The proposed inverse method eliminates the need for predefined TSL and enables direct determination of the actual interlaminar shear CZM. The results reveal that compressive normal stress significantly enhances key interfacial parameters in the CZM, including shear strength, fracture energy, and failure displacement, while the shear interface exhibits higher mechanical strength. Furthermore, under varying initial crack lengths, the lateral confinement provided by compressive normal stress suppresses microcrack initiation and damage propagation, substantially reduces interfacial crack sensitivity, reduce the influence of defects on the interlaminar shear strength of the interface, and promote the transformation of interfacial behavior from defect-sensitive to defect-tolerant.
现有的复合材料层间内聚区模型(CZM)通常基于牵引分离律(TSL)的先验形状推导,往往忽略了压正应力的影响,导致层间破坏模型存在较大差异。本研究提出了在不同压应力水平下的对称双缺口剪切(SDNS)试验。采用数字图像相关(DIC)技术捕获剪切相对位移,并利用j积分与剪切相对位移之间的关系反演出不同压缩正应力和初始裂纹长度下拉挤纤维增强聚合物(PFRP)的CZM。所提出的逆方法消除了对预定义的TSL的需要,能够直接确定实际的层间剪切CZM。结果表明:压缩法向应力显著提高了CZM的关键界面参数,包括剪切强度、断裂能和破坏位移,剪切界面具有更高的机械强度;此外,在不同初始裂纹长度下,压正应力提供的侧向约束抑制了微裂纹的萌生和损伤扩展,显著降低了界面裂纹敏感性,降低了缺陷对界面层间剪切强度的影响,促进了界面行为从缺陷敏感向缺陷容忍转变。

大型CFRP结构的物理数据协同多尺度装配变形与损伤分析方法
Large-size Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) structures are critical in aircraft, yet assembly-induced deformation and damage significantly impact service performance. Therefore, predicting assembly deformation and damage is crucial for ensuring CFRP structural performance. However, due to the large disparity of macro–micro scales and complex geometries, the efficient and accurate prediction of multiscale assembly deformation and damage for large-size CFRP structures remains a challenge. To address this issue, this paper proposed a synergistic physics-data multiscale an alysis method for assembly deformation and damage of large-size CFRP structures. The method employed the hierarchical structural computation strategy, in which the structure is divided into critical and non-critical regions based on pre-simulation results. During the an alysis, critical regions were solved using the concurrent multiscale method (physics driven), while non-critical regions were computed using machine learning surrogate model (data driven). This synergistic approach enabled efficient and accurate prediction of the multiscale mechanical behavior of large-size CFRP structure. The validity of the multiscale model was verified through specifically designed experiments on CFRP laminate and panel. The results demonstrated that the proposed method successfully captures the multiscale mechanical responses and damage states, providing an efficient and accurate tool for the deformation and damage a nalysis of large-size CFRP structures.
大尺寸碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRP)结构是飞机的关键部件,但装配引起的变形和损伤严重影响飞机的使用性能。因此,预测构件变形和损伤是保证碳纤维布结构性能的关键。然而,由于宏观微观尺度差异大、几何结构复杂,大型碳纤维增强塑料结构多尺度装配变形和损伤的高效准确预测仍然是一个挑战。针对这一问题,本文提出了一种大型CFRP结构装配变形与损伤的物理数据协同多尺度分析方法。该方法采用分层结构计算策略,根据预仿真结果将结构划分为关键区域和非关键区域。在分析过程中,使用并发多尺度方法(物理驱动)求解关键区域,而使用机器学习代理模型(数据驱动)计算非关键区域。这种协同方法能够有效和准确地预测大型碳纤维增强塑料结构的多尺度力学行为。通过专门设计的CFRP层压板和面板试验,验证了多尺度模型的有效性。结果表明,该方法成功地捕获了大尺寸碳纤维布结构的多尺度力学响应和损伤状态,为大尺寸碳纤维布结构的变形和损伤分析提供了一种高效、准确的工具。

变刚度复合材料板的精确三维应力恢复:一种高阶等几何方法
Variable stiffness composites with curvilinear fibers present considerable computational challenges due to their spatially varying stiffness properties, strong anisotropic effects, and complex three-dimensional stress gradients. Therefore, appropriate theories are required to accurately represent the localized, non-linear transverse shear distributions caused by this heterogeneity, especially in thick laminates where shear deformation effects are significant. To address this, the present study introduces a three-dimensional stress recovery approach for variable stiffness composite plates that employs a Third-Order Shear Deformation Theory (TSDT) in conjunction with Isogeometric Ana lysis (IGA). By exploiting the high-order continuity of Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) basis functions, the proposed method enforces strong-form equilibrium to accurately recover interlaminar normal and shear stresses. Comprehensive comparisons with 3D finite element solutions across various variable stiffness laminate configurations demonstrate excellent agreement, underscoring the robustness of the proposed approach in predicting in-plane and transverse stress components. The results reveal that the TSDT-based isogeometric method delivers superior accuracy and convergence rates, particularly for thick plates with non-uniform stiffness distributions. Thus, this framework provides a powerful and computationally efficient tool for the design and ana lysis of advanced variable stiffness composite structures.
曲线纤维的变刚度复合材料由于其空间变化的刚度特性、强的各向异性效应和复杂的三维应力梯度,给计算带来了相当大的挑战。因此,需要适当的理论来准确地描述这种非均质性引起的局部非线性横向剪切分布,特别是在剪切变形影响显著的厚层合板中。为了解决这个问题,本研究引入了一种采用三阶剪切变形理论(TSDT)和等几何分析(IGA)结合的变刚度复合材料板的三维应力恢复方法。该方法利用非均匀有理b样条(NURBS)基函数的高阶连续性,实现强形式平衡,精确恢复层间法向应力和剪应力。与各种变刚度层压板构型的三维有限元解进行综合比较,结果显示出极好的一致性,强调了所提出的方法在预测平面内和横向应力分量方面的鲁棒性。结果表明,基于tsdt的等几何方法具有优越的精度和收敛速度,特别是对于具有非均匀刚度分布的厚板。因此,该框架为高级变刚度复合结构的设计和分析提供了一个强大的计算效率工具。

关于可持续长丝缠绕复合材料的进展:对可切割环氧树脂与回收连续碳纤维对传统环氧树脂的基准
The increasing use of carbon fibre reinforced polymers (CFRPs) in high-performance applications raises critical challenges related to end-of-life management and material circularity. Although several recycling methods have been proposed, most recovered fibres are short or damaged, limiting their reuse in structural composite manufacturing processes such as filament winding. This study investigates the recovery and reuse of continuous carbon fibres from filament-wound thermoset composites using a cleavable thermoset resin system. Carbon fibre/epoxy tubes were manufactured via filament winding using both a conventional epoxy system and a cleavable epoxy resin. End-of-life composite structures were then subjected to a low-temperature chemical recycling process to recover continuous carbon fibres, which were subsequently re-impregnated and reprocessed into new filament-wound tubes. The recovered fibres and remanufactured composites were characterised through a multi-scale experimental approach including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), thermogravimetric an alysis (TGA), single-fibre tensile testing, micro-computed tomography (µCT), and mechanical testing of composite structures. Results show that the recycling process preserves most of the intrinsic fibre properties, with approximately 92% tensile strength retention compared with virgin fibres. Remanufactured tubes produced with recycled fibres exhibited a hoop tensile strength of approximately 1240 MPa, corresponding to a reduction of about 25–44% relative to reference tubes manufactured with virgin fibres. This performance decrease is primarily attributed to the removal of fibre sizing and partial degradation of the fibre–matrix interface during the recycling process. The results demonstrate the feasibility of recovering continuous carbon fibres from filament-wound thermoset composites and reintroducing them into filament winding manufacturing. While recycled fibres may not yet meet the requirements for primary load-bearing pressure vessels, they present significant potential for secondary structural applications. This work contributes to advancing circular composite manufacturing by demonstrating a viable route for closed-loop recycling of filament-wound CFRP structures.
碳纤维增强聚合物(CFRPs)在高性能应用中的使用越来越多,这对寿命终止管理和材料循环提出了严峻的挑战。虽然已经提出了几种回收方法,但大多数回收的纤维都很短或损坏,限制了它们在结构复合材料制造工艺(如长丝缠绕)中的再利用。本研究探讨了利用可切割热固性树脂系统从长丝缠绕热固性复合材料中回收和再利用连续碳纤维。采用传统的环氧树脂体系和可切割的环氧树脂,通过长丝缠绕制造碳纤维/环氧树脂管。然后,使用寿命结束的复合材料结构进行低温化学循环处理,以回收连续的碳纤维,然后将其重新浸渍并重新加工成新的长丝缠绕管。通过扫描电镜(SEM)、拉曼光谱(Raman spectroscopy)、x射线衍射(XRD)、x射线光电子能谱(XPS)、热重分析(TGA)、单纤维拉伸测试、微计算机断层扫描(µCT)和复合材料结构力学测试等多尺度实验方法对回收纤维和再制造复合材料进行了表征。结果表明,回收过程保留了纤维的大部分固有性能,与原始纤维相比,拉伸强度保留率约为92%。用再生纤维生产的再制造管显示出约1240 MPa的环向拉伸强度,相对于用原始纤维制造的参考管减少了约25-44%。这种性能下降主要是由于在回收过程中纤维上浆的去除和纤维-基质界面的部分降解。结果表明,从长丝缠绕热固性复合材料中回收连续碳纤维并将其重新引入长丝缠绕制造是可行的。虽然再生纤维可能还不能满足主要承重压力容器的要求,但它们在二次结构应用中具有巨大的潜力。这项工作通过展示长丝缠绕CFRP结构闭环回收的可行途径,有助于推进循环复合材料制造。

原子力显微镜纳米压痕法提取木材细胞壁层水平的弹性常数
Linking the ultrastructural organization of wood cell walls to their mechanical behavior remains a major challenge due to their hierarchical structure and the strong anisotropy induced by the nearly uniform orientation of cellulose microfibrils. In particular, determining the elastic constants of individual cell wall layers at the nanoscale remains experimentally challenging. Here, we introduce an experimental strategy that combines AFM nanoindentation with a microfibril-angle (MFA)–resolved mechanical an alysis to identify transverse isotropic elastic properties of the main wood cell wall layers, as well as trends in their viscoplastic properties. By exploiting the continuous variation of the effective MFA, generated by cutting samples at controlled orientations, the approach provides a large and robust dataset that enables the identification of longitudinal, transverse and shear elastic modu li through reverse an alysis. The method is applied to poplar wood to characterize the mechanical behavior of the S2 layer, in normal and opposite wood, and to the gelatinous G layer, in tension wood. The results reveal marked differences in anisotropy and shear response between lignified S2 layers and the non-lignified cellulose-rich G layer. Comparison with values reported using other experimental methods highlights the relevance and robustness of the proposed approach for probing the elastic properties of wood cell wall layers. An alysis of viscoplastic parameters as a function of the MFA reveals marked and unexpected differences between the S2 and G layers, as well as with the evolution of the macroscopic viscous dissipation with MFA reported in the literature.
将木材细胞壁的超微结构组织与其力学行为联系起来仍然是一个主要挑战,因为它们的层次结构和纤维素微原纤维几乎均匀取向引起的强各向异性。特别是,在纳米尺度上确定单个细胞壁层的弹性常数在实验上仍然具有挑战性。在这里,我们介绍了一种实验策略,将AFM纳米压痕与微原纤维角(MFA)分辨力学分析相结合,以确定主要木材细胞壁层的横向各向同性弹性特性,以及它们的粘塑性特性的趋势。通过利用有效弹性模量的连续变化(由受控方向的切割样品产生),该方法提供了一个庞大而强大的数据集,可以通过反向分析识别纵向、横向和剪切弹性模量。将该方法应用于杨木,以表征正常和相反木材中的S2层和张力木材中的凝胶G层的力学行为。结果表明,木质化的S2层和未木质化的富含纤维素的G层在各向异性和剪切响应方面存在显著差异。与使用其他实验方法报告的值进行比较,突出了所提出的方法用于探测木材细胞壁层弹性特性的相关性和鲁棒性。分析粘塑性参数作为MFA的函数,揭示了S2层和G层之间的显著和意想不到的差异,以及文献中报道的MFA对宏观粘性耗散的影响。
