Hysteretic deteriorating model for quasi-brittle materials based on micromechanical damage approach

A damage model, which is based on the stochastic modeling of the microstructures, is developed for the quasi-brittle materials subjected to repeated loading. According to this model, the overall response of the material is represented with a series of micro-elements joined in parallel. A combined model is proposed for the micro-element considering the fracture as well as the hysteretic energy dissipation. To account for the progressive failure, the random fracture strains are assigned to the micro-elements. Therefore the overall parallel bundle is considered as a stationary random field. Then by averaging the microscopic random field, the overall loading, unloading and reloading curves are derived analytically. Two hysteretic rules are derived from the proposed model, and the overall hysteretic deteriorating behaviors could be well reproduced. To demonstrate the validity of the present model, the numerical results are shown against the stochastic simulated curves as well as the experimental data. The present model provides an alternative approach for the efficient modeling of the hysteretic deteriorating behaviors for the quasi-brittle materials.     

Stochastic damage model for concrete based on energy equivalent strain

Starting with the framework of conventional elastoplastic damage mechanics, a class of stochastic damage constitutive model is derived based on the concept of energy equivalent strain. The stochastic damage model derived from the parallel element model is adopted to develop the uniaxial damage evolution function. Based on the expressions of damage energy release rates (DERRs) conjugated to the damage variables thermodynamically, the concept and its tensor formulations of energy equivalent strain is proposed to bridge the gap between the uniaxial and the multiaxial constitutive models. Furthermore, a simplified coupling model is proposed to consider the evolution of plastic strain. And the analytical expressions of the constitutive model in 2-D are established from the abstract tensor expression. Several numerical simulations are presented against the biaxial loading test results of concrete, demonstrating that the proposed models can reflect the salient features for concrete under uniaxial and biaxial loading conditions.     

考虑应变率效应的混凝土随机损伤本构模型研究

混凝土材料组分复杂且具有随机分布的特点, 其受力力学行为不可避免地存在非线性和随机性. 同时, 在动力荷载作用下, 混凝土材料具有不可忽视的率敏感性. 为了综合反映混凝土受力力学行为中的非线性、随机性与率敏感性, 本文从对材料的纳-微观裂纹扩展分析入手, 引入速率过程理论描述纳观裂纹的扩展速率, 并研究了对应的能量耗散过程. 在此基础上通过裂纹层级模型将纳观分析推演到微观尺度, 建立了微观能量耗散的基本表达式. 进而与微-细观随机断裂模型相结合, 形成了混凝土纳-微-细观随机损伤本构模型. 同时, 基于速率相关势垒的分析, 揭示了动力强度的提高源自加载速率和原子键断裂速率的竞争机制. 据此, 假定微裂纹间相互作用与应变率比值的相关关系以建立微弹簧能量耗散速率与应变率的联系, 实现了从静力本构模型向动力本构模型的扩展. 数值算例表明, 建议模型能够同时反映混凝土材料力学行为中的非线性、随机性和率敏感性. 最后通过与相关试验结果的对比, 验证了建议模型的正确性.      

A biaxial hysteretic model for a structural system incorporating strength deterioration and pinching phenomena

A biaxial hysteretic model is developed to take into account the commonly observed hysteretic characteristics of strength and stiffness degradation, pinching and biaxial interaction. The concept of zero force point is proposed to develop the biaxial hysteretic model. Two non-linear inelastic springs and one linear elastic spring are connected in parallel to define the cyclic behavior of the proposed biaxial hysteretic model. The proposed biaxial hysteretic model is rate-independent and capable of simulating not only global (such as story shear force versus story drift response of the whole structure) but also the local hysteretic behavior of structural member (such as moment versus curvature or plastic rotation response of a structural element). The biaxial cyclic loading test data of six reinforced concrete columns, which are designed for flexural failure and shear failure, are used to validate the proposed biaxial hysteretic model.     

基于能量耗散分析的混凝土随机疲劳损伤模型

基于微-细观随机断裂模型(MMSF)发展了一类混凝土随机疲劳损伤模型。该模型将MMSF中的微弹簧视为一能量耗散单元并考察了其跨尺度的能量耗散过程。在纳观尺度,引入速率过程理论描述裂纹的扩展速度,并基于裂纹层级模型和自相似假定完成从纳观尺度到微观尺度的过渡。由此建立了微弹簧在疲劳荷载作用下的多尺度耗能描述。此外,为了考虑疲劳加载中混凝土多条裂纹的相互影响,引入了包含损伤扩展效应和损伤愈合效应的疲劳损伤因子来修正耗能表达。通过与相关试验的对比,证明了该模型能反映疲劳荷载作用下混凝土的主要力学行为,如疲劳损伤三阶段特点、疲劳寿命的离散性和疲劳寿命随加载频率的变化趋势等。

An application of a damage constitutive model to concrete at high temperature and prediction of spalling

A characteristic feature of concrete under uniaxial compression is the development of cracks parallel to the loading direction. A damage constitutive model proposed by Ortiz [Ortiz, M., 1985. A constitutive theory for the inelastic behaviour of concrete. Mech. Mater. 4, 67–93] can predict the transverse tensile stress responsible for these cracks by considering the interaction between the aggregate and the mortar and the development of damage in the latter. When concrete is exposed to high temperature, as is the case during fire, the failure mode is thermal spalling. In order to improve the prediction of the stresses involved in this failure Ortiz’s model is extended to account for the effects of high temperature. Published experimental results for uniaxial and biaxial compression at high temperatures are used to calibrate the temperature dependence of some of the material properties. The transient creep strain is accounted for by modifying the constrained thermal strain. The stress analysis is coupled with hygro-thermal analysis of heat, mass transfer and pore pressure build-up. The effect of pore pressure on the damage evolution is modeled by applying a body force in the stress analysis module proportional to the pressure gradient. A numerical example of concrete under fire is solved and the computed results are discussed. Spalling is predicted when the damage variable reaches its maximum value of unity. The predicted depth and time of spalling for a range of variation of permeability and initial liquid water content are presented. They are in good agreement with published experimental results.

A nonlinear damage model based on the combination of deformation and hysteretic energy and its validation with experiments are presented. Also, a combination parameter is defined to consider the mutual effect of deformation and hysteretic energy for different types of components in different loading stages.

A viscoplastic model accounting for developing damage in concrete is proposed by assuming the rate of damage to be dependent on viscous strain and stress rates. The damage is measured by a scalar parameter affecting both the yield stress and the material viscosity. For a post-critical range of deformation, the localized mode occurs for which additional constitutive equations are specified. The model is applied to simulate uniaxial strain rate controlled and creep response for the concrete.

基于一类非局部宏-微观损伤模型的混凝土典型试件力学行为模拟

混凝土是一类典型的准脆性材料, 其受力过程中的非线性分析与裂纹模拟依然是具有挑战性的问题. 经典的断裂力学与损伤力学分别从间断与连续的视角对裂纹拓扑进行了描述, 是早期人们研究固体破坏问题的有力工具. 21世纪以来, 相场理论和近场动力学在预测裂纹的萌生、扩展与非线性分析方面取得了重要的进展. 最近, 结合统一相场理论与近场动力学的基本思想, 发展了一类非局部宏-微观损伤模型. 该模型引入物质点偶的概念来刻画由于变形引起的微细观损伤, 对微细观损伤在作用域中进行加权平均得到定量描述物质不连续程度的拓扑损伤. 通过具有物理机制的能量退化函数, 将拓扑损伤嵌入到连续介质-损伤力学的框架中, 这使得该模型在进行非线性分析的同时可以自然地进行裂纹模拟, 而毋须预设初始裂纹与裂纹扩展路径. 本文考虑细观物理参数的空间变异性, 采用非局部宏-微观损伤模型进行混凝土试件受力全过程的精细化模拟. 通过一维建模标定模型细观参数, 并探讨了细观参数与混凝土材料细观物理-几何特性之间的内在关联, 在此基础上采用二维模型进行精细化分析. 进而, 考察了材料参数空间变异性对混凝土单轴受拉试件和带缺口三点弯曲试件力学行为的重要影响. 本文的研究工作为非局部宏-微观损伤模型细观参数的试验标定与复杂应力状态下混凝土等准脆性材料的非线性力学行为研究提供了有意义的参考.
