Two-parameter failure criterion for elastoplastic bodies with mode I cracks

The generalized Dugdale crack model is used to formulate two-parameter failure criteria for the cases of quasibrittle state and developed plastic zones at a mode I crack tip. The failure criteria relate the fracture strength characteristics and the stress mode at the crack tip through the plastic constraint factor. The critical state of bodies with cracks under uni-and biaxial loading is analyzed in the cases of plane stress and plane strain using the Tresca and von Mises yield criteria. A small-scale yield criterion, which is an analytic relation between the critical stress intensity factor and T-stresses, is established __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 7, pp. 47–57, July 2007.     

An experimental method for evaluating SIF distributions during crack turning in non-brittle materials

After briefly describing an experimental modelling method consisting of a marriage of frozen stress photoelasticity with the Griffith–Irwin equations of fracture mechanics, the method is applied to a generic motor grain model containing part through cracks emanating from the corner of a fin tip under internal pressure to determine approximate crack shapes and stress intensity factor values at maximum crack depth for various penetration depths. The role of shear modes during crack turning is described.     

Empirical assessment of ductile fracture initiation in steel bars with notch and three-point bend specimen with edge crack

Proposed is a parameter defined to characterize the onset of macrocrack initiation in notched steel bars and cracked three-point bend specimens. It accounts for stress triaxiality and damage by plasticity reflected via the effective plastic strain. Results are obtained for notched round bars made of 20#, A3, DE36I and DE36II steel by assuming that the stress triaxiality increases with increasing effective plastic strain; they are compared with the results by letting the stress triaxiality to be constant. Use are made of experimental data on the necking of tensile bars. The parameter corresponding to the onset of ductile fracture were found to be nearly constant. Since the local effective plastic stress can be related to the crack tip opening (COD) distance, the same procedure can be applied to evaluate fracture initiation in three-point bend specimens with an edge crack. It is found that the COD in AS1204-350 and AS1405-180 structural steels decreased with increasing stress triaxiality.     

Influence of stress triaxiality on damage and crack tip opening displacement parameters for steels

The dependence of the void growth parameter on the local stress triaxiality and local effective plastic strain near the crack tip of ductile materials provides the motivation to seek for parameters that could rank the ductility of steels. Experimental data for AS 1405-180, AS 1204-350, HY-80 and C---Mn steels show that the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) at initiation δ_c decreases with increasing crack tip stress triaxiality. This trend is confirmed by analysis. As the critical local effective plastic strain ε_ec also decreases with increasing local stress triaxiality, the ratio δ_c/ε_ec is found to remain nearly constant or independent of the local constraint, i.e., the stress triaxiality. These parameters are given for a class of steels in this paper. Their association with the resistance to ductile fracture remains to be investigated.

Characterization of crack tip stresses in plane-strain fracture specimens having weld center crack

Fracture toughness of metals depends strongly on the state of stress near the crack tip. The existing standards (like R-6, SINTAP) are being modified to account for the influence of stress triaxiality in the flaw assessment procedures. These modifications are based on the ability of so-called ‘constraint parameters’ to describe near tip stresses. Crack tip stresses in homogeneous fracture specimens are successfully described in terms of two parameters like J–Q or J–T. For fracture specimens having a weld center crack, strength mismatch ratio between base and weld material and weld width are the additional variables, along with the magnitude of applied loading, type of loading, and geometry of specimen that affect the crack tip stresses. In this work, a novel three-parameter scheme was proposed to estimate the crack tip opening stress accounting for the above-mentioned variables. The first and second parameters represent the crack tip opening stress in a homogeneous fracture specimen under small-scale yielding and are well known. The third parameter accounts for the effect of constraint developed due to weld strength mismatch. It comprises of weld strength mismatch ratio (M, i.e. ratio of yield strength of weld material to that of base material), and a plastic interaction factor (I_p) that scales the size of the plastic zone with the width of the weld material. The plastic interaction factor represents the degree of influence of weld strength mismatch on crack tip constraint for a given mismatch ratio. The proposed scheme was validated with detailed FE analysis using the Modified Boundary Layer formulation.     

Global and local approaches to fracture normal to interfaces

The problem of a crack perpendicularly approaching a bimaterial interface is examined using both global and localapproaches to fracture. The global approach is based on the J-integral with a second parameter, Q, which scales the stress triaxiality ahead of the crack. The local approach is based on either brittle fracture(Beremin model ) or ductile fracture (Rice and Tracey model ). In the first case, the Weibull stress over the plasticzone is calculated. In the second case, the void growth rate is calculated at the tip of the crack over a representativevolume (generally associated with a characteristic length of the material ). After a brief summary of each approach,the results for a crack near an elastically homogeneous, plastically mismatched interface are presented. Thebehaviour of the bimaterial is expressed in relation to the behavior of the homogeneous material. It is shown thatthere is an effect on the crack behavior which depends on the direction of crack propagation, i.e. from the hardermaterial to the softer material or vice versa. This effect is examined as a function of change in yield strength ratioand hardening exponent, n. For the case of brittle fracture, the effect of changing the Weibull modulus, m, is also examined. The models based on the local approach show that both stress- and strain-controlledfracture mechanisms must be accounted for. This implies the necessity of using the two parameters J and Q in the global approach. This is due to the fact that the stress–strain fields ahead of the crack tip areaffected by the nature of the second material.     

Modification of the Gurson Model for shear failure

Recent experimental evidence points to limitations in characterizing the critical strain in ductile fracture solely on the basis of stress triaxiality. A second measure of stress state, such as the Lode parameter, is required to discriminate between axisymmetric and shear-dominated stress states. This is brought into the sharpest relief by the fact that many structural metals have a fracture strain in shear, at zero stress triaxiality, that can be well below fracture strains under axisymmetric stressing at significantly higher triaxiality. Moreover, recent theoretical studies of void growth reveal that triaxiality alone is insufficient to characterize important growth and coalescence features. As currently formulated, the Gurson Model of metal plasticity predicts no damage change with strain under zero mean stress, except when voids are nucleated. Consequently, the model excludes shear softening due to void distortion and inter-void linking. As it stands, the model effectively excludes the possibility of shear localization and fracture under conditions of low triaxiality if void nucleation is not invoked. In this paper, an extension of the Gurson model is proposed that incorporates damage growth under low triaxiality straining for shear-dominated states. The extension retains the isotropy of the original Gurson Model by making use of the third invariant of stress to distinguish shear dominated states. The importance of the extension is illustrated by a study of shear localization over the complete range of applied stress states, clarifying recently reported experimental trends. The extension opens the possibility for computational fracture approaches based on the Gurson Model to be extended to shear-dominated failures such as projectile penetration and shear-off phenomena under impulsive loadings.     

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.).     

分子动力学模拟含不同初始缺陷单晶镍的断裂行为与应力演化

断裂是一个跨尺度复杂的物理过程，对宏观尺度的断裂行为已有深入的研究和发展，然而对微观尺度的断裂行为及断裂过程中应力场的变化缺乏深入的理解。本文通过分子动力学模拟，研究了具有不同初始缺陷(尖锐裂纹、钝裂纹和孔洞)的单晶镍的断裂行为和应力分布特征。结果表明，不同的初始缺陷导致了不同的断裂机制、断裂强度和抗断裂性能。含初始孔洞的单晶镍样品有最高的断裂强度和最强的抗断裂性能，这与孔洞扩展过程中堆积层错的形成密切相关。其次是含初始钝裂纹的样品，在裂纹扩展过程中出现由[100]超位错发射引起的裂尖钝化；含尖锐裂纹的样品表现为脆性断裂，裂尖原子没有出现微结构的变化，其强度和抗断裂性能最低。此外，不同的初始缺陷也会导致断裂过程中应力分布的变化，对含有尖锐裂纹的脆性断裂试样，高应力(拉伸应力、平均应力和米塞斯应力)总是出现在扩展裂纹的裂尖。而对于含有钝裂纹或孔洞的韧性断裂试样，高应力不仅分布在裂尖，也分布在位错发射和堆积层错形成的区域，在裂纹/孔洞扩展之前，应力随着加载时间的增加而迅速增加，而一旦裂纹或孔洞开始扩展，应力增加非常缓慢或几乎不增加，但拉伸应力值始终大于平均应力和米塞斯应力值。这表明，在I型...     

金属材料脆性断裂机理的实验研究

材料的脆性断裂有许多准则和模型,但对脆断机理和变化规律缺乏合理的描述,给工程应用带来不便。本文对典型脆性材料球墨铸铁、灰铸铁分别进行了拉扭双轴断裂实验和常规拉伸、扭转破坏实验;对韧性金属材料合金钢进行了单轴拉伸颈缩破坏实验。通过上述实验分析了脆性材料和韧性材料发生脆性断裂的机理特征并选择应力三维度作为应力状态参数描述危险点的应力状态,同时考察了脆性材料和韧性材料发生脆性断裂的主导因素。结果表明:韧性材料45#钢和14CrNiMoV合金钢在颈缩断面心部应力三维度值较大时发生脆性拉断,而在颈缩断面边缘处应力三维度值较小时发生剪断;脆性材料球墨铸铁在应力三维度值为0.0～0.33之间变化时均发生脆性断裂;灰铸铁在应力三维度值大于0.0时发生脆性拉断,而在应力三维度值小于0.0时发生剪断。因此可以认为,材料的细观组织结构和危险点应力状态是影响断裂机理及变化规律的主要因素。对于同种材料,随着应力三维度代数值从小向大变化材料的断裂机制由塑性剪切断裂逐渐转变为脆性断裂。本文通过对几种材料的脆性断裂危险点和断裂方向的研究给出了脆断宏观破坏条件。

A Zener–Stroh crack interacting with a coated inclusion with generalized Irwin plastic zone correction

The elastic–plastic fracture behavior of a Zener–Stroh crack interacting with a coated inclusion in composite materials has been investigated with crack tip plastic zone corrections. With the distributed dislocation method, the crack problem is formulated into a set of singular integral equations which are solved numerically. The plastic zone sizes at the both crack tips are determined by a generalized Irwin model where Von Mises stress yielding criterion is used. The stress intensity factor (SIF), the plastic zone size (PZS), the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and the effective stress intensity factor have been evaluated. In the numerical examples, the influence of the inclusion shear modulus, the coating-layer thickness and shear modulus, as well as the distance between the crack and inclusion, on the SIF, the PZS and the CTOD are discussed in detail. Numerical examples show that increasing the shear modulus or the thickness of the coating phase, the influence of the inclusion on the normalized SIF and the normalized PZS will be shielded.     

Sufficient criterion of fracture in the case with a complex stress state and non-proportional deformation of the material in the pre-fracture zone

A general case of proportional loading with a complex stress state of the material in the pre-fracture zone, which is typical for polycrystalline solids with plastic deformation, is considered. A sufficient criterion of fracture is proposed for the case of a complex stress state with non-proportional deformation of the material in the pre-fracture zone. Critical parameters of fracture (pre-fracture zone length and load) for cracks propagating in quasi-brittle materials are obtained with the use of a modified Leonov-Panasyuk-Dugdale model. The pre-fracture zone width is determined by solving the problem of the plasticity theory in the vicinity of the crack tip. The proposed modification of the Leonov-Panasyuk-Dugdale model makes it possible to estimate the critical opening of the crack and the critical displacement of the crack flanks. Inequalities that describe different mechanisms of material fracture under proportional loading (predominantly shear fracture mechanism and fracture mechanism through cleavage) are derived.     

The damage tolerance of elastic-brittle, two-dimensional isotropic lattices

The fracture toughness of elastic-brittle 2D lattices is determined by the finite element method for three isotropic periodic topologies: the regular hexagonal honeycomb, the Kagome lattice and the regular triangular honeycomb. The dependence of mode I and mode II fracture toughness upon relative density is determined for each lattice, and the fracture envelope is obtained in combined mode I-mode II stress intensity factor space. Analytical estimates are also made for the dependence of mode I and mode II toughness upon relative density. The high nodal connectivity of the triangular grid ensures that it deforms predominantly by stretching of the constituent bars, while the hexagonal honeycomb deforms by bar bending. The Kagome microstructure deforms by bar stretching remote from the crack tip, and by a combination of bar bending and bar stretching within a characteristic elastic deformation zone near the crack tip. This elastic zone reduces the stress concentration at the crack tip in the Kagome lattice and leads to an elevated macroscopic toughness.Predictions are given for the tensile and shear strengths of a centre-cracked panel with microstructure given explicitly by each of the three topologies. The hexagonal and triangular honeycombs are flaw-sensitive, with a strength adequately predicted by linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) for cracks spanning more than a few cells. In contrast, the Kagome microstructure is damage tolerant, and for cracks shorter than a transition length its tensile strength and shear strength are independent of crack length but are somewhat below the unnotched strength. At crack lengths exceeding the transition value, the strength decreases with increasing crack length in accordance with the LEFM estimate. This transition crack length scales with the parameter of bar length divided by relative density of the Kagome grid, and can be an order of magnitude greater than the cell size at low relative densities. Finally, the presence of a boundary layer is noted at the free edge of a crack-free Kagome grid loaded in tension and in shear. Deformation within this boundary layer is by a combination of bar bending and stretching whereas remote from the free edge the Kagome grid deforms by bar stretching (with a negligible contribution from bar bending). The edge boundary layer degrades both the macroscopic stiffness and strength of the Kagome plate. No such boundary layer is evident for the hexagonal and triangular honeycombs.     

Inelastic deformation and energy dissipation in ceramics: A mechanism-based constitutive model

A mechanism-based constitutive model is presented for the inelastic deformation and fracture of ceramics. The model comprises four essential features: (i) micro-crack extension rates based on stress-intensity calculations and a crack growth law, (ii) the effect of the crack density on the stiffness, inclusive of crack closure, (iii) plasticity at high confining pressures, and (iv) initial flaws that scale with the grain size. Predictions of stress/strain responses for a range of stress states demonstrate that the model captures the transition from deformation by micro-cracking at low triaxiality to plastic slip at high triaxialities. Moreover, natural outcomes of the model include dilation (or bulking) upon micro-cracking, as well as the increase in the shear strength of the damaged ceramic with increasing triaxiality. Cavity expansion calculations are used to extract some key physics relevant to penetration. Three domains have been identified: (i) quasi-static, where the ceramic fails due to the outward propagation of a compression damage front, (ii) intermediate velocity, where an outward propagating compression damage front is accompanied by an inward propagating tensile (or spallation) front caused by the reflection of the elastic wave from the outer surface and (iii) high velocity, wherein plastic deformation initiates at the inner surface of the shell followed by spalling within a tensile damage front when the elastic wave reflects from the outer surface. Consistent with experimental observations, the cavity pressure is sensitive to the grain size under quasi-static conditions but relatively insensitive under dynamic loadings.     

Investigation of a Griffith crack subject to anti-plane shear by using the non-local theory

Field equations of the non-local elasticity are solved to determine the state of stress in a plate with a Griffith crack subject to the anti-plane shear. Then a set of dual-integral equations is solved using Schmidts method. Contrary to the classical elasticity solution, it is found that no stress singularity is present at the crack tip. The significance of this result is that the fracture criteria are unified at both the macroscopic and the microscopic scales.
