Manufacturing Technology, Experimental and Numerical Analysis of Static Bending of Three-Layer Composite Plate with Honeycomb Structure

Authors

Abstract

The use of thin-walled constructions with honeycomb structure manufactured using additive technologies has several advantages compared to the constructions manufactured using traditional technologies. First of all, this is explained by the fact that additive technologies greatly simplify the production of honeycomb structures. A technology for manufacturing a three-layer composite plate with a honeycomb structure obtained using additive technologies is proposed in the paper. PLA plastic was chosen as the material for the honeycomb structure production. Printing was carried out using a "Delta" printer with parallel kinematic chains using FDM technologies. The printing temperature was 215 °C, table temperature – 60 °C. A fundamentally new scheme of an experimental plant for studying the bending of a three-layer plate is proposed. The aim of the research is to conduct tests of samples of a three-layer honeycomb panel for static bending when one edge of the sample is rigidly pinched. For the tests, a certified TiraTest 2300 universal testing machine (UTM), which allows to perform tensile and compression tests at a given traverse speed and measure the load with a relative error of 1%, was used. The UTM allows to load the sample and measure the load and displacement of the traverse. A sixteen-channel strain gauge station is used to measure the surface deformations of the housings. Transverse displacements of a three-layer plate were obtained as experimental data. The bending of the three-layer plate is modeled in the commercial package ANSYS. The results of experimental and numerical analysis coincide well.
