基于FEM-DEM的三体摩擦界面中接触行为与应力的多尺度分析

为了研究三体摩擦界面中第一体变形与第三体状态的相互影响,利用耦合有限元法和离散元法的多尺度法模拟了平行板剪切颗粒第三体的过程。整个模型分为两个区域：有限元区域（上板）和离散元区域（第三体和下板）,上板在一定的外载荷压应力下挤压颗粒第三体,下板以恒定的速度剪切颗粒第三体。为实现两个子区域间的相互联系,建立了子区域间应力应变的传递机制。实现了三体摩擦界面的多尺度分析,模拟了平行板剪切颗粒第三体的过程。模拟结果表明：当外载荷压应力低于10MPa时,颗粒间的碰撞增多使得第三体内量纲归一化平均应力增大,宏观摩擦系数也随之增大;在剪切过程中,第三体内部颗粒间的接触随接触角度的分布呈现出一定的规律性,0~90°各区间内的强接触较多,尤其在54°~72°之间;颗粒接触随接触力大小的分布也具有一定的规律性,接触力与第三体颗粒平均接触力的比值在0~0.6之间内的接触较多,随后接触力越大,接触数越少。同时,第一体内压应力分布与第三体内力链的分布相对应,力链越强则与其接触的第一体的压应力越大。

含界面相Voronoi单元的等效弹性常数的计算

采用含界面相Voronoi单元有限元法,根据广义胡克定律,计算了在给定边界条件下,颗粒增强复合材料的等效弹性常数。建立了含多个随机分布的椭圆形夹杂及界面相的VCFEM模型,分析了夹杂体分比,界面相厚度和界面相弹性模量等因素对颗粒增强复合材料等效弹性常数的影响,并利用普通有限元方法对比验证。结果表明,当界面相弹性模量小于基体与夹杂时,材料的等效弹性模量会随着界面相厚度的增大而减小,随着夹杂体分比的增大而减小,并且界面过薄时,材料的等效弹性模量会随着夹杂体分比的增大而增大;当界面相弹性模量大于基体或夹杂时,材料的等效弹性模量会随着夹杂体分比和界面相厚度的增大而增大。而界面相的厚度和弹性模量对材料的等效泊松比的影响较小,材料的等效泊松比主要受夹杂体分比的影响,与其呈反比关系。     

表面形貌变形对塑性成形滑动接触界面摩擦的影响

为了更好地理解塑性成形滑动接触界面的摩擦行为,构建了一种新型的摩擦试验装置,运用表面纹理化技术制备了两类表面形貌的1050铝材试件,在不同的接触压力和滑动速度条件下进行一系列拉伸摩擦试验.对试验前后试件三维表面形貌进行了测量;提取真实接触面积比、封闭空体面积比和开放空体面积比等三维表面参数,来描述试件表面形貌的变化.试验发现:摩擦系数随名义接触压力和滑动速度增加而逐渐减小;试件初始表面形貌对摩擦有明显的影响;试件表面形貌和参数随接触条件出现了规律性变化.基于机械流变模型的分析表明:随着试件表面形貌变形,不同的机理决定界面摩擦行为,摩擦系数对名义接触压力和滑动速度的依赖性可分别归因于微观塑性流体动压润滑效应和入口区流体动压牵引效应.     

弹塑性微凸体侧向接触相互作用能耗

传统的结合面研究多基于光滑刚性平面与等效粗糙表面接触假设,忽略了结合面上微凸体侧向接触及相邻微凸体之间的相互作用,这导致理论模型与实际结合面存在较大出入.针对承受法向静、动态力的机械结合面,从微观上研究了微凸体侧向接触及相互作用的接触能耗.将法向静、动态力分解为法向分力和切向分力,获取弹性/弹塑性/塑性阶段考虑微凸体侧接触及相互作用的加、卸载法向分力-变形和切向分力-位移的关系.通过力的合成定理,从而获取加、卸载法向合力与总变形之间的关系,由于法向分力产生的塑性变形及切向分力产生的摩擦,导致加载、卸载法向合力-总变形曲线存在迟滞回线.通过对一个加、卸载周期内的法向合力-总变形曲线积分,获得一个周期的微凸体接触能耗,包括应变能耗及摩擦能耗.仿真分析表明:微凸体在3个阶段的能耗均随变形的增大而非线性增大.微凸体侧向接触角度越大,能耗越大,且在弹性阶段最为明显.在弹性阶段,仅存在侧向的摩擦能耗,故结合面在低载荷作用下必须采用双粗糙表面假设.在塑性阶段,由于微凸体接触能耗为应变能耗,且接触角对其能耗影响甚微,故结合面在大载荷作用下可采用单平面假设对其进行研究.相对于KE和Etsion模型,本文提出的模型与Bartier的实验结果更吻合.     

A slip-line plasticity analysis of sliding friction of rough surfaces exhibiting self-affine (fractal) behavior

A plasticity analysis of sliding friction of rough (fractal) surfaces sliding against smooth surfaces was developed based on a slip-line model of a rigid spherical asperity (wear particle) plowing and cutting through a soft semi-infinite medium. Solutions of the fraction of fully plastic asperity microcontacts responsible for the evolution of friction and energy dissipation were obtained in terms of the total normal load (global interference), interfacial adhesion characteristics, topography (fractal) parameters of the hard surface, and elastic–plastic material properties of the soft surface. This was accomplished by incorporating the slip-line model of a single microcontact into a friction analysis of sliding surfaces demonstrating multi-scale roughness. Numerical results provide insight into the effects of global interference (normal load), fractal parameters (surface roughness) of the hard surface, interfacial shear strength (adhesion), and material properties of the soft surface on plastic deformation at the microcontact level, global coefficient of friction, and frictional energy dissipated during sliding.     

Modeling of directional friction on a fully lubricated surface with regular anisotropic asperities

The modern surface technology now promises to fabricate surfaces with regular asperities. The regular asperity means that asperities, which are related to surface roughness in a conventional tribology, have similar shape and size, and their distribution over the surface is controllable. The regular asperity surface technology may have transformative impact to contemporary tribology. In this paper, we present a study of friction on the surface with regular anisotropic asperities (RAA) in a fully lubrication status. By anisotropic asperity, it is meant that the geometry of the asperity presents different to different motion directions, which is further speculated to have different friction behaviors along different motion directions. The primary goal of the study was to develop a model of friction force on the RAA surface in a fully lubrication status. The secondary goal was to exhibit the directional friction behavior based on our model. We employed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to assist in the modeling and used the published data in the literature to validate our model. As a result, accuracy of our model was shown much better than that of the model reported in the current literature. With our model, we successfully demonstrated several interesting directional friction behaviors on the fully lubricated RAA surface.     

Experimental investigation of nanomechanics of the mineral-protein interface in nacre

Nacre, the inner layer of molluscan seashells is a model biomimetic nanocomposite system that has been an inspiration for design of novel composites. The organic phase present in nacre is believed to play an important role in enhancing the toughness of nacre. The understanding of the adhesion forces of the organic matrix on to the mineral phase is essential for the fundamental assessment of the toughening properties in nacre. Our prior work using molecular dynamics simulations revealed that a very large force is needed to pull the protein molecules when in close proximity with the aragonite phase. In the current work, we have experimentally described the mechanical response of the organic phase in proximity of aragonite using force mode atomic force microscopy. Our results indicate that a very large force is required (>5–6 nN) to pull the proteins away from the aragonite. Our experiments show that the molecular interactions at the organic–inorganic interface in nacre are substantial and may play a significant role on the overall toughness of nacre. Thus, molecular interactions albeit weak and non-bonded play a significant role on the mechanics of hybrid nanocomposite systems.     

Elasto-plastic contact of rough surfaces: a mixed-lubrication model for the textured surface analysis

An improved asperity contact model for two rough surfaces with misalignment is presented in this study. The contact model is statistical and can account for the elasto-plastic behavior of interacting asperities. By combining the improved asperity contact model and the average flow Reynolds equation together, a mixed-lubrication model is developed to understand the effect of surface texturing. By comparing with the results of the purely elastic asperity contact model, it is found that the improved asperity contact model can predict the contact force and actual contact area more accurately, particularly under high load conditions. Moreover, comparing with the elasto-plastic model with an equivalent rough surface against a plane, the improved contact model can consider the effect of permitting misalignment of two rough surfaces. This is beneficial for analyzing the performance of the textured piston ring/liner system, especially when asperities contact and wear happen.     

Mechanical properties of nanostructure of biological materials

Natural biological materials such as bone, teeth and nacre are nanocomposites of protein and mineral with superior strength. It is quite a marvel that nature produces hard and tough materials out of protein as soft as human skin and mineral as brittle as classroom chalk. What are the secrets of nature? Can we learn from this to produce bio-inspired materials in the laboratory? These questions have motivated us to investigate the mechanics of protein-mineral nanocomposite structure. Large aspect ratios and a staggered alignment of mineral platelets are found to be the key factors contributing to the large stiffness of biomaterials. A tension-shear chain (TSC) model of biological nanostructure reveals that the strength of biomaterials hinges upon optimizing the tensile strength of the mineral crystals. As the size of the mineral crystals is reduced to nanoscale, they become insensitive to flaws with strength approaching the theoretical strength of atomic bonds. The optimized tensile strength of mineral crystals thus allows a large amount of fracture energy to be dissipated in protein via shear deformation and consequently enhances the fracture toughness of biocomposites. We derive viscoelastic properties of the protein-mineral nanostructure and show that the toughness of biocomposite can be further enhanced by the viscoelastic properties of protein.     

Three-dimensional asperity model of rough surfaces based on valley–peak ratio of the maximum peak

Three-dimensional asperity model of rough surfaces is proposed using valley–peak ratio (VPR) of the maximum peak. Asperities of rough surfaces are reconstructed according to paraboloid asperity function, which is derived using least square method and asperity projection plane determined via VPR. The minimum profile deviation between reconstructed asperities and rough surface is calculated using simulated annealing method to optimize VPR. Effects of simulated mutation surfaces, measured surfaces, and different sampling intervals (SIs) on profile deviation are investigated. Compared with nine–point method, the proposed model demonstrates a smaller deviation of mutational rough surface, the absence of interference among asperities, and more stable surface parameters and contact mechanics performance at different SIs.

     

A Molecular Dynamics Model for Single Adhesive Contact

The normal adhesive contact between a pair of asperities is performed using molecular dynamics. To simplify the problem, the equivalent contact problem of sphere–plane interaction is solved. Displacements in the contact zone are very small compared to the asperity size, therefore, the computational model is focused on the neighborhood of the contact area. The adhesion between the asperity and the plane is calculated as a sum of interactions between atoms of the asperity and the plane. A computational experiment of pull-on and pull-off is carried out to study the influence of the adhesion on the formation of the contact forces and deformations. The numerical results are compared with theoretical predictions.     

Mineral bridges of nacre and its effects

Nacre, or mother-of-pearl, is a kind of composites of aragonite platelets sandwiched between organic materials. Its excellent mechanical properties are thought to stem from the microarchitecture that is traditionally described as a “brick and mortar” arrangement. In this paper, a new microstructure, referred to as mineral bridge in the biomineralization, is directly observed in the organic matrix layers (mortar) of nacre. This is an indication that the organic matrix layer of nacre should be treated as a three-dimensional interface and the microarchitecture of nacre ought to be considered as a “brick-bridge-mortar” structure rather than the traditional one. Experiments and analyses show that the mineral bridges not only improve the mechanical properties of the organic matrix layers but also play an important role in the pattern of the crack extension in nacre.
