Abstract:The numerical method is employed to analysis the dynamic mechanical response and the properties of energy absorption of sandwich beams composed of auxetic cellular cores under blast loading. Pressure versus time histories representative of shock loadings are applied uniformly to the front facet of the sandwich beam; an impulse applied uniformly to the facet of sandwich beam is shown to model adequately blast loadings. Parametric analyses are performed to evaluate the performances of different designs and compared with equivalent monolithic beam of areal masses in terms of deformation and dissipated plastic energy. Various design parameters are considered, including the cell thickness, thickness of front panel and the expanding angle. In blast events, sandwich beams are found to reduce the back facet’s maximum displacement, delay the time of back facet’s reaches the maximum velocity and absorb more energy via plastic deformation of the auxetic cores when compared with monolithic beams.
