The Development of a High Rate Tensile Testing System for Micro Scaled Single Crystal Silicon Specimens

Structures have been built at micro scales with unique failure mechanisms that are not yet understood, in particular, under high-rate loading conditions. Consequently, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) devices can suffer from inconsistent performance and insufficient reliability. This research aims to understand the failure mechanisms in micro-scaled specimens deforming at high rates. Single-crystal silicon (SCS) micro specimens that are 4 μm thick are subjected to tensile loading at an average strain rate of 92 s^?1 using a miniature Hopkinson tension bar. A capacitance displacement system and piezoelectric load cell are incorporated to directly measure the strain and stress of the silicon micro specimens. The average dynamic elastic modulus of the silicon micro specimens is measured to be 226.8?±?18.50 GPa and the average dynamic tensile strength of the silicon is measured to be 1.26?±?0.310 GPa. High-speed images show that extensive fragmentation of the specimens occurs during tensile failure.     

Experimental investigation on surface deformation of soft half plane indented by rigid wedge

In this work, the mechanical behavior of a block of soft material subject to large deformation from a series of wedge-shaped indenters is evaluated. Data fields acquired from digital image correlation (DIC) are compared with the existing theoretical models. The slope angles of the wedges vary from 5° to 73.5°, and the minimum measurement uncertainties of the DIC system are established in advance to define the accuracy. It is concluded that the assumptions underpinning the analytical theory make it difficult to characterize large deformation of soft materials during contact. The strain fields are also obtained from the measured displacement field and verify the previously postulated existence of two deformation sectors, namely, a so-called shrinkage sector symmetric to the loading axis and an expansion sector, which become smaller with the increasing load and decreasing wedge angle.     

Evaluation of the VDA 238–100 Tight Radius Bend Test for Plane Strain Fracture Characterization of Automotive Sheet Metals

Accurate characterization of the fracture limit in plane strain tension of automotive sheet metals is critical for the design and crash performance of structural components. Plane strain bending using the VDA 238–100 V-bend test has potential for proportional fracture characterization by avoiding a tensile instability. The VDA 238–100 V-bend test was evaluated using DIC strain measurement to characterize the plane strain fracture limit under proportional plane stress loading and to evaluate the effect of the VDA pre-straining methodology for ductile alloys upon the material response. The load-based failure criterion of the V-bend test was evaluated with DIC to monitor the development of surface cracking. The influence of the non-linear strain path imposed by the pre-straining procedure for ductile materials was then evaluated for three automotive alloys: an advanced high strength dual phase steel, DP1180, a rare-earth magnesium, ZEK100, and an AA5182 aluminum. A fracture criterion based on the load threshold was reasonable for the three alloys considered. Pre-straining in uniaxial tension prior to plane strain bending affected each alloy differently. The DP1180 was not affected by the non-linear strain path whereas the cumulative equivalent strain for the AA5182 and ZEK100 increased by strains of 0.07 and 0.05 strain, respectively. The non-linear strain path within the VDA pre-straining methodology creates ambiguity in comparing the fracture limits of different materials. The plane strain fracture limit for proportional loading can be readily obtained in the V-bend test with DIC strain measurement.

     

Novel Microtensile Method for Monotonic and Cyclic Testing of Freestanding Copper Thin Films

This paper presents the results of new microtensile tests conducted to investigate the mechanical properties of submicron-thick freestanding copper films. The method, used in this study, allows the observation of materials response under uniaxial tensile loads with measurements of stress at strain rates up to 5.5 × 10⁻⁴/s. It also facilitates tension–tension fatigue experiments under a variety of mean stress conditions at cyclic loading frequencies to 20 Hz. The sample processes involve fabrication of a supporting frame with springs and alignment beams all made of electroplated nickel. Electroplating took place on top of a previously deposited sample rather than creating a structure by subtractive fabrication. Tensile sample loading is applied using a piezoelectric actuator. Load was measured using a capacitance gap sensor with a novel mechanical coupling to the sample. Tension–tension fatigue experiments were carried out with feedback to give load control. Fatigue tests were conducted on sputter-deposited 500 and 900 nm copper films with grain sizes ∼50 nm. Fatigue life reached 10⁵ cycles at low mean load, which decreased with an increase in the mean load. The results indicate decreasing plasticity with increasing mean load.     

Full-Field Deformation Measurements of Aluminum Plates Under Free Air Blast Loading

Assessment of the structural dynamic response caused by an explosion is complex due to the high velocity impact, the transient nature of the deformation and the interactions between the structure and the pressure wave. This paper deals with full-field measurements of aluminum plates under free air blast loading conditions. Forty grams of explosive material C4 is detonated at a stand-off-distance of 250?mm and two synchronized high-speed cameras in a stereoscopic setup are used to capture the plate response with an inter frame rate of 6,000 fps. The transient deformation fields are calculated using a three-dimensional digital image correlation technique. The observations appeared to be interesting and somewhat counter intuitively. Results show that a free air blast load induces a highly localized, rapid material response which can be essentially divided in two different stadia. First, when the shock impulse occurs, all particles are forced to move out-of-plane and provided with initial velocities. Secondly, when the pressure wave has vanished, the deformation is further driven by this imparted momentum. This paper shows that a 3D high-speed DIC system is a powerful tool for the assessment of the dynamic response of a structure subjected to extreme loading conditions such as explosions and that this system is capable of accurately measuring surface displacement and deformation data at high rates. Moreover, a free air blast load makes it possible to load a plate specimen at different strain rates in different zones. This makes the test suitable for future material identification using inverse methods, which profit from heterogeneous displacement and strain fields.     

Use of 3-D Digital Image Correlation to Characterize the Mechanical Behavior of a Fiber Reinforced Refractory Castable

Refractory castables exhibit very low fracture strain levels when subjected to tension or bending. The main objective of this work is to show that 3-D digital image correlation (3-D DIC) allows such low strain levels to be measured. Compared to mechanical extensometer measurements, 3-D DIC makes it possible to reach similar strain resolution levels and to avoid the problem of position dependance related to the heterogeneous nature of the strain and to strain localization phenomena. First, the 3-D DIC method and the experimental set-up are presented. Secondly, an analysis of the 3-D DIC method is performed in order to evaluate the resolution, the standard uncertainty and the spatial resolution for both displacement and strain measurements. An optimized compromise between strain spatial resolution and standard uncertainty is reached for the configuration of the experimental bending test. Finally, the macroscopic mechanical behavior of a fiber reinforced refractory castable (FRRC) is studied using mechanical extensometry and 3-D DIC in the case of tensile and four-point bending tests. It is shown that similar results are obtained with both methods. Furthermore, in the case of bending tests on damaged castable, 3-D DIC results demonstrate the ability to determine Young’s modulus from heterogeneous strain fields better than by using classical beam deflection measurements.

Load-Inversion Device for the High Strain Rate Tensile Testing of Sheet Materials with Hopkinson Pressure Bars

A high strain rate tensile testing technique for sheet materials is presented which makes use of a split Hopkinson pressure bar system in conjunction with a load inversion device. With compressive loads applied to its boundaries, the load inversion device introduces tension into a sheet specimen. Two output bars are used to minimize the effect of bending waves on the output force measurement. A Digital Image Correlation (DIC) algorithm is used to determine the strain history in the specimen gage section based on high speed video imaging. Detailed finite element analysis of the experimental set-up is performed to validate the design of the load inversion device. It is shown that under the assumption of perfect alignment and slip-free attachment of the specimen, the measured stress–strain curve is free from spurious oscillations at a strain rate of 1,000 s^?1. Validation experiments are carried out using tensile specimens extracted from 1.4 thick TRIP780 steel sheets. The experimental results for uniaxial tension at strain rates ranging from 200 s^?1 to 1,000 s^?1 confirm the oscillation-free numerical results in an approximate manner. Dynamic tension experiments are also performed on notched specimens to illustrate the validity of the proposed experimental technique for characterizing the effect of strain rate on the onset of ductile fracture in sheet materials.
