摘要
Age hardenable 6061 aluminum tetrahedral lattice truss core sandwich panels have been fabricated by folding perforated sheets to form highly flexible cellular cores. Hat or curved sandwich panels can be fabricated by furnace brazing the cores to facesheets. Flat sandwich panels with core relative densities between 2 and 10% have been fabricated and tested in the sigma(+/- 13) shear orientation (minimum shear strength orientation for a tetrahedral lattice) in the fully annealed (O) and aged (T6) conditions. The shear strength of the lattices increased with relative density, parent alloy yield strength and work hardening rate. Analytical stiffness and strength predictions agree well with measured values for all relative densities and parent alloy heat treatments investigated. The stiffness and strength of 6061-T6 aluminum tetrahedral lattice structures are shown to be comparable to those of conventional 5052-H38 aluminum closed cell hexagonal honeycombs and more than 40% stiffer and stronger than flexible honeycombs used for the cores of curved sandwich panels.
