Many studies have been focused on how to manufacture ultra light metal structures and optimize them. In this study, we introduced a new idea to make sandwich panels with quasi-Kagome truss cores. First, metal sheets with a peculiar pattern of slits were expanded to be meshes, they are crimped into a triangular wave pattern, and then one third of struts were bent reversely to be quasi-Kagome trusses. Finally, two face sheets were bonded on the upper and the lower sides. The bending strength was estimated through elementary mechanics for the sandwich specimens with two kinds of face sheet the results of estimation were compared with the those of finite element analyses and experiments.

와이어직조 카고메(WBK)는 나선형으로 성형된 와이어를 6 방향에서 조립하여 제작된다. 지금까지의 WBK 는 수작업으로 조립되어 왔지만, 산업적 적용을 위해서는 조립공정의 자동화가 필수적이다. 또한, 유연한 와이어로 WBK를 제작할 경우 기하학적 형상을 유지할 수 없으므로 직조기와 같은 자동화 기계의 개발이 절실하다. 이번 연구에서는, 유연한 와이어를 이용하여 WBK 를 제작하는 직조기를 설계 및 제작하였다. 이 직조기는 상부 플레이트의 회전운동과 와이어를 삽입하는 장치의 병진운동으로 작동 된다. 그리고 이미 삽입된 와이어 간의 간섭을 방지하기 위한 빗살장치는 다층의 카고메망 사이에 위치된다. 또한 이 직조기는 나선형 와이어와 직선형 와이어로 구성된 semi-WBK 의 제작에도 이용될 수 있다.

최근 들어 우리나라에서도 설치와 유지관리가 용이하며 경제성이 뛰어난 강재이력형 감쇠장치를 적용하여 내진성능을 확보하고자 하는 건물들이 다수 건설되고 있다. 하지만 이러한 강재이력형 감쇠장치가 철근콘크리트 건물에 적용되는 경우 감쇠장치를 설치하기 위한 연결구조물은 전체적인 시스템을 복잡하게 만들어 감쇠장치의 신뢰도를 저하시키는 요소가 되기도 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존연구에서 개발된 카고메 감쇠장치를 대상으로 별도의 연결구조 없이 철근콘크리트 지지구조물에 감쇠장치를 직접 매립할 수 있는 시스템을 제안하고자 하며, 매립길이에 따른 내진거동을 확인하여 동 시스템의 정립을 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 실험결과, $1.0l_d$ 매립길이 실험체의 경우 카고메 감쇠장치 매립부분에서 콘 파괴와 유사한 형태의 뽑힘이 발생하였다. 반면, $2.0l_d$ 매립길이를 확보한 실험체는 실험 종료 시까지 뽑힘 및 콘 파괴 없이 안정적인 이력거동을 나타내었고 $1.0l_d$ 매립길이 대비 $2.0l_d$ 매립길이가 약 1.3배의 향상된 에너지소산능력을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 제안하는 시스템을 적용할 경우, 기존 설치방법 변경에 따른 기타 철물 제작 비용을 줄일 수 있으며, 시공 시에도 부수적인 철물 시공을 줄여 공기를 단축할 수 있다.

Three kinds of metallic sandwich panels with quasi-Kagome truss cores have been analyzed on their mechanical behaviors subjected to bending load. According to the results of previous work on the optimal design, they were designed to have similarly high strength per weight with the identical overall sizes, i.e., the total length, the width, the core height. Differences were in the face sheet thickness and/or the thickness of the metal sheet from which the core was fabricated through expanding and bending processes. Under the bending load, they performed well as designed, as far as the maximum load is concerned. However, after the maximum load, the load-displacement curves were different each other depending on the slenderness ratio of the truss elements composing the quasi-Kagome truss cores and the face sheet thickness. Namely, the slenderness ratio and the face sheet thickness governed stability of the elastic and plastic buckling. Therefore, if energy absorption characteristics or structural stability as well as the maximum load capacity are to be achieved, the sandwich panel with thick truss members and thick face sheet should be selected.

A newly developed cellular metal based on kagome lattice is an ideal candidate for multifunctional materials achieving various optimal properties. Intensive efforts have been devoted to develop efficient techniques for mass production due to its wide potential applications. Since a variety of imperfections would be inevitably included in the realistic fabrication processes, it is highly important to examine the correlation between the imperfections and material strengths. Previous performance tests were mostly done by numerical simulations such as finite element method (FEM), but only for perfect structures without any imperfection. In this paper, we developed an efficient numerical framework using nonlinear random network analysis (RNA) to verify how the statistical imperfections (geometrical and material property) contribute to the performance of general truss structures. The numerical results for kagome truss structures are compared with experimental measurements on 3-layerd WBK (wire-woven bulk kagome). The mechanical strength of the kagome structures is shown relatively stable with the Gaussian types of imperfections.

A new metallic sandwich panel with a quasi-Kagome truss core subjected to bending load has been analyzed. First, equations of the failure loads corresponding to the eight failure modes are presented. Then, non-dimensional forms of the equations are derived as functions of three geometric variables, one material parameter (yield strain), one load index and one weight index. Failure maps are presented for a given weight index. By using the dimensionless forms of equations as the design constraints, two kinds of optimization are performed. One is based on the weight, that is, the objective function, namely, the dimensionless load is to be maximized for a given weight. Another is based on the load, that is, the dimensionless weight is to be minimized for a given load. The results of the two optimization processes are found to agree each other. The optimized geometric variables are derived as a function of given weights or failure loads. The performance of the quasi-Kagome truss as the core of a sandwich panel is evaluated by comparison with those of honeycomb cored and octet truss cored panels

Recently, a new cellular metal, WBK(Wire woven Bulk Kagome) has been introduced. WBK is fabricated by assembling metal wires in six directions into a Kagome-like truss structure and by brazing it at all the crossings. Wires as the raw material are easy to handle and to attain high strength with minimum defect. And the strength and energy absorption are superior to previous cellular metals. Therefore, WBK seems to be promising once the fabrication process for mass production is developed. In this paper, an upper bound solution for the mechanical properties of the bulk WBK under compression is presented. In order to simulate uniform behavior of WBK consisted of perfectly uniform cells, a unit cell of WBK with periodic boundary conditions is analyzed by the finite element method. In comparison with experimental test results, it is found that the solution provides a good approximation of the mechanical properties of bulk WBK cellular metals except for Young's modulus. And also, the brazing joint size does not have any significant effect on the properties with an exception of an idealized thin joint.

기존의 WBK(와이어 직조 카고메)의 기계적 강도와 강성은 WBK 를 구성하는 요소가 반듯하다는 가정 아래에서 계산되었다. 실제 WBK 의 요소는 3 차원 나선형상을 이루고 있어 계산된 이론 해와 실험 결과값과 차이를 보인다. 이번 연구에서는 정확한 WBK 의 기계적 강도와 강성을 위해 하나의 트러스 요소의 굴곡 효과와 브레이징 접합 부를 고려하여 계산하였다. 또한 예측한 이론 해의 검증을 위한 경계주기조건(PBC) 유한요소해석을 수행하여 실험 결과값과 비교 분석하였다.
