dc.description.abstract | The present article introduces Zero Poisson's Ratio (ZPR) Fish Cells metamaterial and investigates the effects of Poisson's Ratio on the crashworthiness of Positive (PPR), Negative (NPR), and Zero Poisson's Ratio lattice structures. High-fidelity Finite Element models of the proposed sandwich structures are built, based on identical domains for unit cells. Impact performances of lattice structures are addressed for low (2 m/s) and high (5 m/s) impact velocities in three orthogonal directions. The parameters investigated for crashworthiness include impactor's penetration depth, von Mises stress distribution, edges deformation and dimensional stability. Numerical results demonstrate that, unlike PPR and NPR models, the Fish Cells ZPR model possesses greater lateral stability and structural integrity with minimal edge deformations in all three directions. This leads to reduced lateral impact transfer to adjacent components and localised damaged zones, increasing the life span of structural components while reducing maintenance and repair downtime. Experimental analyses are conducted on the Fish Cells metamaterial through a drop tower test for demonstrating agreement with simulations and validation of the proposed modelling approach. | en_UK |
