Metallic sandwich panels with pyramidal truss structures are high-stiffness and high-strength materials with low weight. In particular, bulk structures have enough space for additional multi-functionalities. In this work, in order to fabricate 3-D structures efficiently, Layered Manufacturing Method (LMM) which was composed of three steps, including crimping process, stacking process and bonding process using rapid infrared brazing, was proposed. The joining time was drastically reduced by employing infrared brazing of which heating rate and cooling rate were faster than those of conventional furnace brazing. By controlling the initial cooling rate slowly, the bonding strength was improved up to the level of strength by conventional vacuum brazing. The observation of infrared brazed specimens by optical microscope and SEM showed no defect on the joining sections. The experiments of 1-layered pyramidal structures and 2-layered pyramidal structures subject to 3-point bending were conducted to determine structural advantages of multilayered structures. From the results, the multi-layered structure has superior mechanical properties to the single-layered structure.

Metallic sandwich panels based on a truss core structure have been developed for a wide range of potential applications with their lightweight and multi-functionality. Structural performance of sandwich panels can be predicted from the studies on mechanical behavior of a unit cell of truss core structures. Analytical investigations on the unit cell provide approximated guidelines for the design of overall core structures for a specific application in short time. In this study, the effects of geometrical parameters on mechanical behavior of a pyramidal shape of unit cell were investigated with analytical models. The unit cell with truss member angle of 45 degree was considered as reference model and other models were designed to have the same weight and projected area but different truss member angle. All truss members were assumed to be connected with pin joint in analytical models. Under the assumptions, the equivalent strength and stiffness of the unit cell under compressive and shear loads were predicted and compared. And finally, the optimum core member angle to have maximum mechanical property could be calculated and verified with FE analysis results.

A sandwich panel which is comprised of truss cores faced with solid face sheets is lightweight and multi-functional. So it is widely used to not only structural material but also heat transfer media in transportation field such as airplane, train and vessel. There are various core topologies such as pyramidal and tetrahedral truss, square honeycombs and kagome truss. The study focused on analytical approach to optimize compression and shear quality of the unit cell of PCM with pyramidal configuration. With various unit cell models which have the same core weight per unit area but different truss member angle, analytical solution for effective stress ($\bar{\sigma},\bar{\tau}$), peak stress ($\bar{\sigma}_{peak},\bar{\tau}_{peak}$) by yielding and buckling, relative density ($\bar{\rho}_c$) and effective stiffness ($\bar{E},\bar{G}$) have been computed and compared each other. With this approach, the most optimal core configuration was predicted. The result has become the efficient guidelines for the design of PCM core structure.

This paper presents the results of a post-tensioning test and analysis of a pyramidal unit structure that is basic element for space structures. The behavior characteristics was analyzed and compared with the numerical analysis and the mechanism in test model was confirmed with geometrical analysis. The results of this paper show that the behaviors of space structures can be predicted in multi-directional Mero joint system. And the authors suggest the possibility of erection and shaping formation with comparatively small post-tensioning, and space structure with the mechanism should consider the nonlinear behavior due to large deformation.

본 연구에서는 전산유체역학 해석을 이용하여 알루미늄 피라미드 트러스 심재 샌드위치의 열유동 특성을 분석하였다. 규칙적 다공질 금속인 피라미드 트러스 코어를 샌드위치 구조물에 채용할 경우 공기 매질이 자유롭게 유입, 유출될 수 있는 개방형 코어인 점을 고려하여 하중을 지지할 수 있는 구조성능과 함께 방열체로서 다기능성을 구현할 수 있는 구조가 된다. 따라서, 유입되는 공기의 속도변화, 설계변수인 트러스각에 따른 압력강하와 열전달 메카니즘을 확인하기 위해 ANSYS/Fluent를 이용하여 수치해석을 실시하였다. 해석모델에 사용된 샌드위치 패널은 알루미늄으로 이루어져 있으며, 샌드위치 패널의 위 면재와 아래 면재 사이에는 15개의 피라미드 트러스 유닛셀이 반복되고 있다. 폭 방향으로는 무한히 넓은 유닛셀을 모사하기 위해 대칭조건을 지정하였으며, 입구에는 균일한 속도분포를 경계조건으로 입력하였다. 해석결과 입구부와 첫 유닛셀까지의 구간에서 입구영향이 관찰되었으며, 입구영향을 배제하고 마찰계수와 누셀수를 분석하였다. 공기의 속도가 증가할수록 마찰계수는 감소하였으며, 누셀수는 증가하는 경향을 보인다. 한편, V=1m/s에서 5m/s에서의 마찰계수와 누셀수 변화가 확연하였으며, 이는 층류에서 난류로 유동패턴이 변하기 때문에 거시적으로 열전도보다 대류열전달의 비중이 커졌기 때문이다. 또한, 설계변수인 트러스각에 대해서는 의미가 있을 정도의 마찰계수와 누셀수의 변화는 관찰되지 않았다. 따라서, 트러스각이 강도, 강성 등 구조성능에 민감한 점을 감안하면 다기능성을 염두에 둔 알루미늄 피라미드트러스 심재 설계 시 설계변수의 변화는 구조성능에 더 민감할 것으로 판단된다.
