Laser powder bed fusion of multilayer corrugated sandwich structures: Mechanical properties and failure mechanisms under bending loadings

Vol. 18 (2023), No. 5, 711–726
Abstract

The single and multilayer corrugated sandwich structures (number of layers is 1–4) are designed and manufactured by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). The mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of the as-fabricated structures subjected to quasistatic three-point bending were investigated theoretically, experimentally and numerically. Results demonstrate that structures fabricated by LPBF with the optimal processing parameters show good printability and high quality. The failure mode transitions from overall structural failure to local damage as the number of layers increases. As the number of layers increased from 2 to 4, the bending load of specimens increased by 70.2%, 17.4%, and 10.9%, and the effective deflection increased by 54.3%, 9.7%, and 2.4%, respectively. The multilayer corrugated sandwich structures (MCSS) show favorable bending performance with lower structural density, and the appropriate increase in the number of layers is beneficial to improve the structural performance. These findings could facilitate the applications of MCSS in design of parts for bending beams or plates.
