Description
Summary:Minimal surfaces are characterized by spatially continuous smoothness, which can effectively avoid the problem of the stress concentration, and have become a significant focus in the research of mechanical metamaterials. A Scherk single-periodic minimal surface (SPMS) was studied, and the spatially continuous smooth geometrical model was generated using a voxel reconstruction technique with multi-software association method. The mechanical behavior and energy absorption characteristics of the single-period Scherk surface structure were investigated using finite element simulation. The impact of the mathematical parameters of the minimal surface on the geometric configuration was examined. Five minimal surfaces with different parameters were established, and the deformation patterns and stress distributions of the five structures were explored under positive and lateral compression conditions. The Scherk surface structures were fabricated by metal printing technology, and quasi-static compression tests were conducted. The results show that the Scherk single-period surface has an obvious negative Poisson ratio effect, and the SPMS structure exhibits X-and V-shaped deformation modes, which can well withstand the external loading effects. The compression tests show the hump phenomenon of the reaction force and displacement curves of the SPMS structure, indicating that the structure has a negative Poisson ratio and negative stiffness property. This property provides a wide space for its application research in large deformation damage and structural energy absorption.
