摘要

This study presents a double-layer corrugated-core sandwich composite as a multifunctional structure that simultaneously delivers broadband radar absorption and hypervelocity impact (HVI) shielding for spacecraft. An optimized corrugated-core design achieved a measured 90% absorption across a broadband frequency range while maintaining an overall panel thickness of 27.6 mm. Smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations of a 4 mm Al-2017-T4 projectile at 3 km/s revealed progressive projectile dissipation of more than 80% of the incident kinetic energy; residual debris velocities fell below 0.5 km/s for both normal and 45° oblique impacts. The demonstrated integration of multiscale dielectric loss and controlled structural collapse offers a lightweight, scalable approach to stealth spacecraft shielding structures capable of withstanding the combined threats of broadband radar detection and HVI in low-Earth-orbit environments.
