受弯脱层层板后屈曲有限元分析

脱层是复合材料层板结构中主要的缺陷形式之一。当脱层层板受到压力载荷的作用会造成脱层的局部屈曲和扩展,从而使结构的强度和刚度大为降低。含脱层层板的弯曲问题包含了脱层的压缩问题,却比压缩问题更加复杂。本文对含穿透脱层层板在纯弯载荷作用下的后屈曲问题进行了基于一阶剪切层板理论的几何非线性有限元分析,运用虚裂纹闭合技术求解了纯弯载荷作用下的脱层尖端的能量释放率各型分量,并用脱层扩展判据求解了脱层起始扩展载荷。

低速冲击下混凝土少筋梁断裂性能

动态加载下,混凝土中钢筋的阻裂性能一直是冲击动力学研究领域的难点之一。利用落锤试验机对含缺口的混凝土少筋梁进行三点弯曲试验,分析了不同加载速率下梁的冲击力、跨中挠度、混凝土起裂应变率和钢筋应变。实验结果表明:在一定加载速率范围内（0.885～1.252 m/s）,混凝土预制裂缝尖端的裂纹起裂应变率、冲击力最大值、跨中挠度峰值与加载速率呈线性增长关系,当加载速率增至1.771 m/s时,增长趋势减弱;冲击力卸载时,钢筋部分弹性变形恢复导致裂纹产生闭合,裂纹嘴张开位移逐渐减小至恒定值,对裂纹嘴张开位移峰值前的部分曲线进行拟合后得到裂纹嘴张开位移率,结果表明裂纹嘴张开位移率随加载速率的提高而线性增大。

双金属层状板中软界面层对裂纹扩展的影响

采用带软界面层的双金属层状板，分析了裂纹垂直于界面扩展过程中的力学行为。带单边裂纹的钢／铝层板的弯曲疲劳实验表明，裂尖接近软铝界面层时裂纹扩展速率da／dN变化很大；裂纹扩展到达界面层时发生偏折。利用有限元软件分析了裂纹尖端前沿应力和应变的变化规律，计算结果表明：软铝界面层出现较大塑性应变，增加了裂纹扩展阻力，并使裂纹扩展力△K减小，导致了da／dN降低．而软界面层中的T应力增高，造成裂纹偏折现象。

Anisotropic elastic and elastic–plastic bending solutions for edge constrained beams

In beam-like fracture tests the rotation at the crack tip is a significant factor controlling the energy release rate. The local deformations of a beam ahead of the crack tip where the lower edge constrained by a stiffness is described for an anisotropic elastic material. This is a useful model for composite delamination tests and gives the crack length correction factor and root rotation which are used in determining energy release rate. The solution is calibrated using FE results and found to be accurate to within 2%.The solution is extended by analogy to plasticity where the yielding of the constrained edge is modelled. The assumption that the deformations are controlled by the same parameters as the elastic solution is confirmed numerically. It is shown that in most practical cases the bottom edge remains elastic. This constraint is important in calculating the root rotation.

Energy release rate and phase angle of delamination in sandwich beams and symmetric adhesively bonded joints

Delamination in sandwich structures along the interface between the face sheet and the core, or along the adherend/adhesive interface in adhesively bonded joints, is one of the most common failure modes of this type of tri-layer structure. This delamination is usually modeled as an interface crack problem, for which the energy release rate and phase angle can be calculated using interface fracture mechanics solutions. Existing interface fracture mechanics solutions, however, ignore the effect of transverse shear deformation, which can be significant for short crack. In an effort to overcome this shortcoming, this study presents new analytical solutions for the energy release rate and for the phase angle of the interface crack in sandwich structures or adhesively bonded joints. Since the new solutions incorporate relative rotation at the tip of the delamination, transverse shear effects are taken into account in this study. Typical delaminated sandwich and adhesively bonded joint specimens are analyzed by using the new solutions, as well as by the existing solutions. The energy release rate predicted by the present model agrees very well with that predicted by FEA, and furthermore it is considerably more accurate relative to existing models. As the existing model neglects the transverse shear force, it underestimates the total energy release rate. A stress field analysis is also conducted in this study in order to clarify some misunderstandings in the literature on the determination of the phase angle of adhesively bonded joints using an interface stress-based method.     

Critical cooling rates to avoid transient-driven cracking in thermal barrier coating (TBC) systems

This paper presents critical cooling rates to avoid cracking in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) driven by thermal transients. A complete thermomechanical model is presented for multilayers; it determines the history of temperature, deformation and stress distributions in the layers, as well as the steady-state energy release rate (ERR) for delamination for all possible crack locations. The model is used to analyze bilayers over a broad range of properties and cooling rates; critical cooling rates are identified that distinguish scenarios in which the transient delamination driving force is higher than that associated with the fully cooled state. Implications for coating the durability are discussed.     

Delamination fracture analysis in the GII–GIII plane using prestressed transparent composite beams

In this paper, the mixed-mode II/III version of the prestressed end-notched flexure fracture specimen is developed, which combines the well-known end-notched flexure and the modified split-cantilever beam specimens using a special rig. The new beam-like specimen is able to provide any combination of the mode-II and mode-III strain energy release rates. The mode-III part of the strain energy release rate is fixed by using the special rig, which loads the specimen in the plane of the delamination. The mode-II part of the strain energy release rate is provided by the external load using a three-point bending fixture. A simple closed-form solution using beam theory is developed for the strain energy release rates of the new configuration. The applicability and the limitations of the novel fracture mechanical test are demonstrated using unidirectional E-glass/polyester composite specimens. If only crack propagation onset is involved then the mixed-mode II/III prestressed end-notched flexure specimen can be used to obtain the fracture criterion of transparent composite materials in a relatively simple way.     

Delamination in a Two-Dimensional Functionally Graded Beam

An analytical study of delamination in the crack lap shear beam is performed. It is assumed that the material is functionally graded along the width and height of the beam. Delamination is studied in terms of the total strain energy release rate by applying methods of linear-elastic fracture mechanics. An additional analysis of the total strain energy release rate is performed by considering the strain energies in the beam cross sections ahead of and behind the crack front for verification. The effects of the crack location and material gradient on delamination are evaluated.

Mechanics and fracture of crack tip deformable bi-material interface

Novel interface deformable bi-layer beam theory is developed to account for local effects at crack tip of bi-material interface by modeling a bi-layer composite beam as two separate shear deformable sub-layers with consideration of crack tip deformation. Unlike the sub-layer model in the literature in which the crack tip deformations under the interface peel and shear stresses are ignored and thus a “rigid” joint is used, the present study introduces two interface compliances to account for the effect of interface stresses on the crack tip deformation which is referred to as the elastic foundation effect; thus a flexible condition along the interface is considered. Closed-form solutions of resultant forces, deformations, and interface stresses are obtained for each sub-layer in the bi-layer beam, of which the local effects at the crack tip are demonstrated. In this study, an elastic deformable crack tip model is presented for the first time which can improve the split beam solution. The present model is in excellent agreements with analytical 2-D continuum solutions and finite element analyses. The resulting crack tip rotation is then used to calculate the energy release rate (ERR) and stress intensity factor (SIF) of interface fracture in bi-layer materials. Explicit closed-form solutions for ERR and SIF are obtained for which both the transverse shear and crack tip deformation effects are accounted. Compared to the full continuum elasticity analysis, such as finite element analysis, the present solutions are much explicit, more applicable, while comparable in accuracy. Further, the concept of deformable crack tip model can be applied to other bi-layer beam analyses (e.g., delamination buckling and vibration, etc.).
