Abstract
Hollow sphere structures with perforations (PHSSs) in three different arrangements (simple cubic (SC), body-centred cubic (BCC), and face-centred cubic (FCC)) were fabricated through three-dimensional (3D) printing, and the mechanical behaviours of these PHSSs under quasi-static compression were investigated experimentally and numerically. The results indicated that under uniaxial compression, the PHSSs mainly undergo three stages, i.e., a linear elastic stage, a large deformation or plateau stage, and a densification stage. During the stage of large deformation, the SC and BCC PHSSs experience a preliminary compaction sub-stage after layer-by-layer buckling, while for the FCC PHSS, layer-by-layer collapse and compaction are the dominant deformation behaviours. A numerical simulation was employed to study the mechanical properties of PHSSs with different geometric parameters under quasi-static compression and to explore the effect of the wall thickness, hole diameter, and sphere arrangement on the first peak stress, plateau stress, and specific energy absorption (SEA) of the PHSSs. The results reveal that the geometric parameters have a significant impact on the large deformation behaviour and energy absorption capacity of PHSSs. The presented PHSS is also proven to be much lighter than traditional metallic hollow sphere structure (MHSS) and has higher specific strength and SEA.
