Abstract

In this study, we focused on the large inelastic behavior of a sandwich panel made of two solid plates as a stiffener and a honeycomb core shell subjected to blast load. The loading scheme was carried out using an explosive charge bullet mounted at a standoff distance of 100 mm with three mass variations of trinitrotoluene: 1, 2, and 3 kg TNT. The numerical simulations performed using ABAQUS/CAE were validated with the experimental results of a previous study. The geometrical effects of the sandwich panel on intact and damaged models were also numerically investigated. The panel was designed using a square and hexagonal honeycomb core. The effect of honeycomb core height was also observed by modeling the core using three height variations: 31, 51, and 71 mm. The results showed that the hexagonal core was more resistant to blast loads than the square design. The core height parameter determines the energy absorption based on these results. The structural strength is also affected by the damage. The findings of this study can be used to improve structural designs that utilize sandwich panels to withstand blast loads. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-05-014 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The failure to achieve satisfactory results will cause immense losses in major projects. Nevertheless, the modeling limitations and phenomenon assumptions represented by failure criteria can significantly influence the final results—e.g., the damage mode, affecting its quantification—thus representing an interesting topic for technical assessment. This work aims to forecast the effects of several failure criteria on the damage occurring due to structural loading schemes, such as compression, torsion, and tensile tests. Failure criteria are taken based on the proposal of pioneer researchers and include those of Peschmann (P), Germanischer Lloyd (GL), Liu (LIU), and Rice–Tracey and Cockroft–Latham (RTCL). A series of nonlinear finite element analyses (NLFEA) are conducted by inputting these criteria into different loading schemes. To obtain reliable validation, the proposed models are designed based on previous laboratory experiments. The numerical results of NLFEA in the forms of damage mode, i.e., tearing, plastic deformation, and torsion, are cross-checked with experimental data. The results show that numerical modeling using the LIU criterion produces slightly larger discrepancies compared with experimental data. This indication is founded on the analysis of stress–strain, load–displacement, and shear stress–strain during the tensile test, compressive load, and torsion load, respectively. According to this work, we formulate recommendations based on the forecast tendency and accuracy for each damage mode subjected to failure criteria. Therefore, future works can adopt the findings in our current work when choosing to apply specific criteria in structural modeling and load idealization. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-10-03 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

The increasing demand for lightweight material specifications has forced researchers to develop lightweight materials that are inexpensive, can be produced on a large scale, and are environmentally friendly. One solution that has been developed is an aluminum composite reinforced with sea sand. Indonesia has the second longest coastline in the world, which means that the country is rich in maritime resources, one of which is sea sand. The ceramic contents of SiO2, SiC, and Al2O3allow sea sand to be used as a reinforcement in aluminum composites for engineering purposes. The most effective manufacturing method of AA6061–sea sand composites is stir casting, but the homogeneity and distribution of particles are the main disadvantages of the stir casting method. Various factors affect particle distribution and homogeneity, one of which is the flow during the stirring process. The increase in turbulent flow in the stirring process affects the homogeneity and distribution of the particles. One way to create a turbulent flow when stirring is to add baffles. This paper examines the effect of adding baffles during the stir casting process on the mechanical properties of AA6061–sea sand composites. The mechanical properties of AA6061–sea sand composites were characterized using the Brinell hardness test according to ASTM E-10. The test results show that the addition of baffles during the stir casting process decreases the hardness of the AA6061–sea sand composites due to the turbulent flow that occurs. This makes the material more porous, which makes the AA6061–sea sand composites less hard. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2022-08-08-04 Full Text: PDF

Abstract

Aluminum alloy hollow panels are essential components in both civil and mechanical structures, such as building floors or large vehicle platforms. They enhance rigidity while staying lightweight and conserving material volume. In its application, this panel must be joined using welding methods. One common issue encountered in aluminum welding is the formation of porosity defects. Solid-state welding methods like Friction Stir Welding (FSW) can be a solution to address this problem. The FSW joining process on hollow panels cannot be completed in one welding operation due to their thickness. The FSW process must be performed on both surfaces, which requires a relatively long time. Therefore, FSW needs to be developed into a Double-acting FSW that utilizes two tools simultaneously. These two tools introduce two sources of heat input, pressing force, and friction-stirring, resulting in a novel response that needs further research. This study delves into the impact of welding speed variations in Double-Acting FSW on the load capacity and bending strength of AA 6061 hollow panel joints. Welding speeds of 20, 30, and 40 mm/min were tested alongside rotational speed (1500 rpm), tilt angle (2°), and shoulder diameter (24 mm). It was discovered that reducing welding speed enhances both load capacity and bending strength. Notably, specimens welded at 20 mm/min exhibited a load capacity of 15.61 kN and bending strength of 52 MPa, highlighting the potential of slower speeds for superior weld performance. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2024-010-08-018 Full Text: PDF
