Popis: | Advances in multi-material 3D printing technologies have opened a new horizon for design and fabrication of architected multi-materials in multiple length scales from nano-/microscale to meso-/macroscales. In this study, we apply modified couple stress and first-order shear deformation theories for a size-dependent structural analysis of 3D printable functionally graded (FG) doubly-curved panels where their microarchitecture can be engineered to improve their structural performance. This non-classical model incorporates the microstructure-dependent size effects for the structural performance through the introduction of a length scale in the kinematics of deformation. The volume fraction of matrix in the dual-phase (inclusion and matrix) FG size-dependent panels varies continuously through the thickness. The microarchitecture of inclusion and matrix in FG panels is engineered to show its effect on the structural responses. We implement the standard mechanics homogenization technique via finite element simulation to accurately predict the effective mechanical properties of FG materials for different topologies of engineered microarchitecture to show the significance of selecting appropriate micromechanical modeling for analyzing FG structures. Governing equations derived by variational Hamilton’s principle are solved by applying the Galerkin method for different sets of boundary conditions. We investigate the effects of material length scale, material composition, heterogeneous material distribution, particulate topology, length-to-thickness ratio, and panel curvature on the structural performance. It is found that the fundamental frequencies of size-dependent two-phase FG doubly-curved panels with square-shape inclusions are higher than for those with other topologies, which sheds lights on the engineering of the inclusion shape in advanced architected materials to optimize their structural performance. |
