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.

Recently, a new periodic cellular metal(PCM) named as Wire wove Bulk Kagome(WBK) was introduced. Based on the shape of tetrahedra composing a WBK, WBKs are classified into two types, namely, concave and convex type. They are easily differentiated by changing the assembling sequence. The effect of geometrical parameters such as the wire diameter, strut length and number of layers on the compressive behavior of concave type WBK has already been investigated. In this work, the similar works were performed with the convex type WBKs. It was shown that the compressive strength of the convex type WBK was quite similar to that of the concave type. The compressive strengths of convex type specimens also depend on the slenderness ratio, but a little different from those of concave type specimens in the detailed behavior. And densification occurs earlier than the concave type WBK.

This paper presents a new way for fabricating sandwich plates with tetrahedral truss cores. The tetrahedral truss cores are manufactured through metal expanding and bending process and then brazed with solid face sheets. The properties of sandwich plates with the tetrahedral truss cores composed of a wrought steel SS41 under compression and shear loading have been investigated. Good agreement is observed between the measured and predicted peak strengths. Comparisons with normalized compressive strength for other cellular metals have indicated that the tetrahedral truss structures outperform aluminum open cell forms and woven core sandwich plates.

최근 Shellular라는 새로운 극저밀도 재료가 소개되었다. Shellular는 주기적 구조를 가지면서도 한장의 부드러운 곡면의 쉘로 구성되어 있다. 최초의 Shellular는 리쏘그래피를 이용하여 제조되며 3주기최소곡면의 일종인 P-곡면과 유사한 형태를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 와이어 직조에 기반하여 D-곡면과 유사한 Shellular를 제작하는 새로운 방법을 제시한다. 실험과 유한요소해석을 통하여 압축하중 하의 재료물성을 평가하고 종래의 극저밀도 재료와 비교하였다.

Wire-woven Bulk Kagome (WBK) is a new truss type cellular metal fabricated by systematic assembling of helical wires in six directions. In this work, the experiments of mechanical behaviors of WBK cored sandwich panels subjected to bending load were performed and the results were compared with those by the corresponding analytic solutions. And also, finite element simulations were performed to validate the optimal design according to the analytic solutions. It is found the sandwich panel with WBK core performed excellently in terms of energy absorption and deformation stability after the peak point as well as the load capacity.

A Wire-woven Bulk Kagome (WBK) is the new truss type cellular metal fabricated by assembling the helical wires in six directions. The WBK seems to be promising with respect to morphology, fabrication cost, and raw materials. In this paper, first, the geometric and material properties are defined as the main design parameters of the WBK considering the fact that the failure of WBK is caused by buckling of truss elements. Taguchi approach was used as statistical design of experiment(DOE) technique for optimizing the design parameters in terms of maximizing the compressive strength. Normalized specific strength is constant regardless of slenderness ratio even if material properties changed, while it increases gradually as the strainhardening coefficient decreases. Compressive strength of WBK dominantly depends on the slenderness ratio rather than one of the wire diameter, the strut length. Specifically the failure of WBK under compression by elastic buckling of struts mainly depended on the slenderness ratio and elastic modulus. However the failure of WBK by plastic failed marginally depended on the slenderness ratio, yield stress, hardening and filler metal area.

와이어 직조 Kagome는 와이어로 직조된 Periodic Cellular Metal의 일종으로서 Kagome 구조로 이루어져 있다. 와이어 직조 Kagome는 무게 대비 높은 강도와 강성을 가지면서 대량 생산에도 큰 가능성을 가지는 것으로 알려졌다. 본 연구에서는 ${\alpha}$-cristobalite 구조적 특성을 모사하여 음의 푸아송비를 갖는 새로운 직조 구조체를 개발하였다. 와이어 직조 Kagome를 제작한 후 사면체 단위셀 부분을 강구와Epoxy를 이용하여 채우고, 초기 변형을 주어 시편을 제작하였다. 또한 FEA 시뮬레이션을 통해 제작 가능성을 확인하고, 실제 제작한 구조체를 대상으로 기계적 특성을 연구하였다.

Periodic cellular metals (PCMs) are actively being investigated because of their excellent specific strength and stiffness, and multi-functionality such as a heat disperse structure bearing external loading. The Kagome truss PCM has been proved that it has higher resistance to plastic buckling and lower anisotropy than other truss PCMs. In this paper, the out-of-plane compressive responses of the WBK specimens have been measured, theoretically predicted and numerically analyzed. Three specimens of two-layered WBK are fabricated and tested for measuring the responses. The peak stress of compressive behavior and effective elastic modulus are predicted based on the equilibrium equation and elastic energy conservation. Moreover, the structure of the specimen is modeled using the commercial mesh generation code, PATRAN and the finite element analysis for the model under the compression is carried out using the commercial FE code, ABAQUS. Finally, the obtained results are compared with each other to analyze the compressive characteristics of Wire-woven Bulk Kagome (WBK).

Since the new millennium, truss PCMs(Periodic Cellular Metals) have drawn attention because of their superior specific stiffness, strength and multi-functionality. Prior studies have focused on the structural design and optimization. Kagome truss PCM has been proved to have the higher resistance to plastic buckling, more plastic deformation energy and lower anisotropy than other truss PCMs. In this study, we introduce a new idea to fabricate multi-layered Kagome truss PCM from continuous wires which can gain high strength as in piano wires and can be controlled to be defect free owing to drawing process. The relative density, the stiffness and the strength under bending and compressive load are estimated through elementary mechanics and compared with the results from experiments and FEA. The failure mechanisms are analyzed, and also mechanical performance and production are discussed.

콘크리트는 재료적으로 인장에 취약하고 변형에 취성이 크다는 태생적 단점을 갖고 있다. 콘크리트 조직에 인장에 강한 작은 섬유를 혼합한 섬유보강콘크리트는 이러한 취약점을 보완할 수 있는 좋은 방법으로 간주되었으며, 많은 종류의 섬유재료와 방법들이 제안되었다. 그러나 이 섬유보강콘크리트에도 아직까지 해결하지 못한 문제로서 균질한 배합이 힘들고 높은 체적비를 갖는 섬유 혼입의 어려움 등이 있다. 최근에 새로운 개념의 규칙적 다공질 금속(periodic cellular metal)이 개발되어 기계 분야에 많이 적용되고 있는 철선으로 직조된 카고메 트러스가 있다. 이 논문은 기존 강섬유보강콘크리트의 현실적 문제점을 해결하기 위한 방법의 일환으로 카고메 트러스의 적용 가능성을 검토하기 위한 기초 실험 연구 결과를 정리한 것이다. 3종류의 카고메 트러스로 보강된 실험체와 동일한 제원의 수직스터럽으로 보강된 보 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과, 카고메 트러스 보강 실험체에서는 강도와 연성이 보통 스터럽 보강 보 보다 더 우수한 결과를 나타냈으며, 복부 보강재로서 우수한 기능을 할 수 있는 것으로 판명되었다.
