Compression and Fluid Pressure Drop Properties of Implicit Surface Cellular Structures

doi:10.3901/JME.2024.18.394

Abstract

Abstract: For complex manufacturing process and long development cycle, it is difficult to achieve rapid iterative design and production for special filters. The pressure drop performance is one of the important evaluation indexes of the filter, and the mechanical performance also needs to be considered when the fluid pressure is high. Based on pinch-off optimization design implicit surface function, four kinds of traditional implicit surface structures are designed and fabricated by selective laser melting. The compression performance and pressure drop performance of porous structures are researched. The compression curves of the implicit surface porous structure of Gyroid, Diamond, and IWP belongs to the bending deformation type structure deformation method, and the compression curve of the original porous structure belongs to the tensile deformation type structure deformation method, and the Primitive structure has the highest compressive elastic modulus and the yield strength. The Gibson-Ashby modified prediction model of the four kinds of the implicit surface porous structure is established. The optimized functions are applied to design filters, and results show that Primitive has the lowest pressure drop value and the smallest fluid volume, which is more suitable for filter design and application. The mechanical properties and pressure drop performance of the implicit surface porous filters are analyzed, and the mechanism of pressure drop change is revealed, which provides a reference method for the filter structure design.
