Abstract:

Aiming at the structural damage caused by the water-entry impact of trans-media vehicle, an auxetic hood load-shedding method is proposed to make use of the special tensile expansion effect of auxetic structure, so that the hood can absorb more impact energy. The arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian algorithm is used to analyze the influence law of the auxetic hood on the load-shedding characteristics of the vehicle, and the numerical method is verified by experimental data. The results show that, compared with the traditional load-shedding cowl, the auxetic hood effectively reduces the impact load of the structure entering into water on the basis of structural lightweight, and the peak acceleration can be reduced by 75%, 70% and 68% at the water-entry speeds of 20m/s, 35m/s and 50m/s, which is a good load-shedding cushioning effect. And the load-shedding characteristics of auxetic structure differ greatly under the different parameters of the cell angle, the wall thickness and the length of the sides. The load-shedding characteristics of auxetic hood reaches the optimal effect with cell angle of 20°, cell wall thickness of 0.5mm and cell side length of 1.6 times.
