Damage evolution in particulate composite materials

Damage evolution in heterogeneous solids is modeled using transformation field analysis and imperfect interface model. Stress changes caused by local debonding are simulated by residual stresses generated by equivalent transformation strains or eigenstrains. Decohesion and both overall and local stress and strain rates are derived from thermodynamics of irreversible processes, which provide an excellent framework for the development of constitutive equations. Both tangent and unloading secant stiffness tensors are found along any prescribed mechanical loading path. Numerical simulation of debonding evolution in glass/elastomer composites is compared with experimental data and provides good agreement between the model and experiments.

Dynamic interfacial debonding initiation induced by an incident crack

When a crack propagates towards a weak interface, interface debonding may occur before the incident crack reaches the interface. This phenomenon refers to the “Cook–Gordon mechanism”. In this investigation, an equivalent dynamic Cook–Gordon mechanism is studied both experimentally and analytically. Two strength-based criteria incorporating dynamic fracture mechanics analysis are proposed to predict the initiation location of interface debonding ahead of a dynamic incident crack. As validation, a comparison is made between the analytical predictions and experimental measurements. Results show that the strength-based criteria can effectively predict the initiation of interface debonding. Meanwhile, effects of the stress intensity factor and the T stress of the incident crack, on the interfacial debonding initiation are investigated. It is concluded that high-stress intensity factors of the incident cracks will easily induce interfacial debonding initiation, and changing the T stress is an effective way to control interfacial debonding initiation. Furthermore, high-interfacial tensile strengths rather than shear strengths, tend to suppress interfacial debonding initiation induced by a mode-I incident crack.     

Theoretical analysis on the local critical stress and size effect for interfacial debonding in particle reinforced rheological materials

The mechanisms of interfacial debonding of particle reinforced rheological materials are studied. Based on an energy criterion, a simple formula of local critical stress for interfacial debonding is derived and expressed in terms of the interfacial energy. The particle size effect on interface debonding can then be analyzed easily owing to the fact that critical stress is inversely proportional to the square root of particle radius. By taking PP/CaCO₃ system as an example, the present energy criterion is compared with the mechanical debonding criterion, and it is found that under the condition that bond strength is equal to matrix strength and particle radius not over 0.2μm, the mechanical debonding criterion can be automatically satisfied if the energy criterion is satisfied. A relation between critical time and interface energy is calculated by using the energy criterion. The influences of the particle volume fraction and the parlicle size, the loading rate and the relaxation time of the matrix on the critical time of interfacial debonding are also discussed.

Green's function of a point dislocation for the bending of a composite infinite plate with an elliptical hole at interface

Summary  The problem of a hole at bimaterial interface is of practical importance in providing a good understanding of the debonding phenomenon and for determining factors that affect the mechanical properties of composite elements of structures. The problem of a point dislocation in bending bonded dissimilar semi-infinite plates with an elliptical hole at interface is tackled in this paper. Based on the method of analytic continuation and the rational mapping function technique, the problem of obtaining the stress functions in the upper and lower plates is decoupled, and reduced to two Riemann–Hilbert problems. The closed-form solution is obtained. The stress distributions at the bimaterial interface, as well as the debonding at both vertices of the elliptical hole are studied. The stress intensities of debonding are depicted for various parameters. Received 16 March 2000; accepted for publication 12 July 2000

Summary A solution to the thin plate bending problem of partially bonded dissimilar strips with two bond lines is presented. The two strips are symmetrically bonded with respect to the interface which is on theX-axis. The complex stress functions approach together with the rational mapping function technique are used in the analysis. A concentrated bending moment applied at each strip is considered. Distributions of bending and torsional moments, as well as the stress intensity of debonding (SID) at the debonding tips are obtained, and the debonding extension is investigated.     

A numerical and experimental investigation into residual stress in thermally sprayed coatings

This paper is concerned with an investigation into the thermal spray process and is particularly concerned with the residual stresses that arise when a steel-alloy coating is sprayed onto a copper-alloy substrate. This material combination was used recently to enhance the thermal and mechanical efficiency of the pressure die casting process. A difficulty with the spraying of steel on copper is the attainment of appreciable thickness of the coating due to debonding during the thermal spraying process. Prominent among possible causes of debonding is residual stress, which is the focus of the research presented in the paper. An investigation into the thermal spray process is performed using experimentation, simplified numerical modelling and finite element modelling. The development of residual stress for a range of process parameters, i.e. deposited layer thickness, interval of layer deposition and the number of layers in a coating (i.e. block deposition versus multilayer deposition for a desired coating thickness) is recorded. The results from the three investigation methods agreeably indicate a progressive change in average interfacial residual stress from compressive towards tensile with increase in thickness of deposited layer; and a tensile interfacial stress in a two-layer coating, which increases with increase in interval of deposition between the two layers. On the whole, the observations from the results suggest an increase in potential for coating debonding with increase in both deposited layer thickness and layer deposition interval. The results further suggest higher potential for coating debonding with block deposition compared to multilayer deposition for a desired coating thickness.     

The debonding failure analysis of cracked metallic plate with bonded composite semicircular patch at notch

The patch debonding is one of the most serious failure modes of reducing the efficiency of composite repair. In this study, a three-dimensional finite element method is used to analyze the initiation and progression of cohesive failure of the semicircular patch repairing crack emanating from a semicircular notch root. The stress intensity factor and the debonding initiation stress are calculated. The obtained results show that the debonding propagation can be decreased by optimizing the geometrical properties of the composite patch and the adhesive.     

Impact of thermal loads on interfacial debonding in FRP strengthened beams

The effect of thermal loads on the debonding mechanisms in beams strengthened with externally bonded composite materials is analytically investigated. The analytical approach adopts a high-order stress analysis model and a fracture mechanics model that uses the concept of the energy release rate through the thermo-mechanical form of the J-integral. The two models are combined to synthesize the relation between the energy release rate, the mechanical loads, the thermal loads, and the interfacial crack length simulating the thermo-mechanical debonding process. The model is supported through comparison with experimental results taken from the literature. The comparison quantifies and explains various phenomena observed in the experiments and mainly the non-monotonic dependency of the debonding failure load on the temperature. The impact of the temperature on the interfacial stresses and on the stability of the debonding process is also studied. Finally, the effect of an uniform thermal load on the debonding behavior of a strengthened beam is studied revealing the impact of the thermal load on the debonding stability and strength characteristics.     

3D FINITE ELEMENTANALYSIS OF THE DAMAGE EFFECTS ON THE DENTAL COMPOSITE SUBJECT TO WATER SORPTION

The damage effects of water sorption on the mechanical properties of the hydroxya-patite particle reinforced Bis-GMA/TEGDMA copolymer (HA/Bis-GMA/TEGDMA) have been predicted using 3D finite cell models. The plasticizer effect on the polymer matrix was considered as a variation of its Young's modulus. Three different cell models were used to determine the influence of varying particle contents, interphase strength and moisture concentration on the debonding damage. The stress distribution pattern has been examined and the stress transfer mode clarified. The Young's modulus and fracture strength of the Bis-GMA/TEGDMA composite were also predicted using the model with and without consideration of the damage. The former results with consideration of the debonding damage are in good agreement with existing literature experimental data. The shielding effect of our proposed model and an alternative approach were discussed. The FCC cell model has also been extended to predict the critical load for the damaged and the undamaged composite subject to the 3-point flexural test.     

Solution of problem of two dissimilar materials bonded at one interface subjected to temperature

A solution of problem of two dissimilar materials bonded at one interface subjected to temperature is derived. To obtain a closed-form solution, a rational mapping function and a complex variable method are used. The coefficients of the homogeneous part of the stress function are expressed by Dunders’ parameters, but loading term of temperature is not expressed by them. As a demonstration, semi-strips bonded at one part at the ends are considered. The each strip is subjected to uniform temperature. Examples of stress distributions are shown. The relations of stress and temperature on the interface are described. Debondings on both sides of the interface are considered. Stress intensity of debonding (SID) is defined, and the values are investigated for various debonding lengths. And the debonding extension or the crack initiation into the material is investigated. The effects of material constants (Dundurs’ parameter) on SID are also investigated. By changing mapping function, other geometries can be analyzed.
