冲击载荷下两裂纹间的连通规律

脆性材料内部含有大量裂纹，当某一裂纹扩展时，其他裂纹会对扩展裂纹产生影响。为了研究冲击载荷下，脆性材料内两裂纹的相互影响、连通规律及裂纹尖端应力强度因子的变化规律，利用有机玻璃板制作了含非平行双裂纹的实验试件，利用落板冲击设备进行了中低速冲击实验，结合有限元分析软件ABAQUS计算出裂纹尖端应力强度因子，利用有限差分软件AUTODYN进行了动态数值模拟研究，并将其模拟结果与实验结果进行对比分析。实验及模拟结果表明:裂纹破坏形态与AUTODYN数值模拟破坏形态基本一致；试件的断裂形态随着两裂纹间距不同而不同；裂纹间的相互影响程度随着裂纹间间距增大而减小；裂纹尖端应力强度因子K_I随着裂纹间距的增大而减小，而K_II随着裂纹间距增大而增大。     

基于GMTS准则的岩石复合型断裂机理研究

使用国际岩石力学协会规定的半圆盘岩石试件,加工不同倾角的直裂纹试样,通过三点弯曲加载试验得到不同I-II复合比断裂的断裂韧性和初始断裂角．传统裂纹扩展准则忽视了常数项即T应力及更高阶项的影响,导致该扩展准则的理论预测结果存在较大缺陷,本文通过考虑常数项,建立广义最大周向应力准则(GMTS)．在此基础上,分别采用传统的裂纹扩展准则和考虑T应力的裂纹扩展准则预测不同复合比裂纹的断裂韧性和初始扩展角,然后对比理论预测结果和实验结果．分析可得：常数项即T应力对断裂的临界应力强度因子和初始断裂角的影响是不可忽略的,且II型断裂占比较大时影响更大,广义最大周向应力准则预测值与实验测试结果之间的误差最小．     

基于平台圆环试样的无机玻璃动态拉伸性能研究

无机玻璃的拉伸强度往往远小于压缩强度，服役过程中玻璃大多会发生拉伸断裂.论文采用平台圆环(flattened circular ring, FCR)试样测试钠钙硅酸盐玻璃的拉伸性能.分别利用电子万能试验机和电磁分离式Hopkinson压杆(electromagnetic split Hopkinson pressure bar, ESHPB)开展准静态、动态单轴单向和单轴双向实验，加载过程中采用高速相机对试样的破坏过程进行观测.结果显示，该材料试样强度具有明显的正加载速率相关性.动态单轴双向加载可比单向加载更快实现应力平衡，但两种应力波加载方式下试样的动态拉伸强度大致相同.高速摄像与动态加载同步分析表明，这是因为试样的裂纹产生时刻与应力峰值时刻几乎同时产生.对三种形式的拉伸实验结果进行对比，发现拉伸强度受试样形状影响，这与试样断裂路径上的拉伸应力分布有关.     

含偏置裂纹三点弯曲梁的动态断裂行为研究

采用动态焦散线方法，对含偏置裂纹三点弯曲梁承受横向冲击的弯曲断裂行为进行了一系列动态断裂力学实验研究，分析了无量纲量ａ／ｌ的改变（ａ——初始裂纹偏离梁中心线的距离；ｌ——梁长度的一半）对于裂纹动态扩展行为（裂纹起始状态、裂纹尖端的复合应力强度因子、裂纹扩展速度、裂纹扩展轨迹）的影响，并借助动态光弹性应力分析，对应力波与扩展裂纹的相互作用以及应力波传播规律进行探讨．给出了裂纹尖端复合应力强度因子、裂纹扩展速度的变化、裂纹曲裂轨迹以及方向与梁中应力波传播的相互关系     

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。     

基于圆弧底试件的动态裂纹扩展及止裂规律研究

冲击载荷作用下黑砂岩动态断裂参数的分形修正

基于分形理论研究了偏折裂纹扩展路径对动载荷作用下黑砂岩的动态断裂力学参数的测试误差影响作用,采用传统的分离式霍普金森压杆（split Hopkinson pressure bar, SHPB）实验装置对修正侧开单裂纹半孔板（improved single cleavage semi-circle specimen, ISCSC）试样进行动态冲击实验,随后采用裂纹扩展计进行裂纹起裂时间与裂纹扩展速度等动态断裂力学参数测试,采用分形理论对测试的裂纹扩展速度与动态应力强度因子进行修正,利用实验-数值法对黑砂岩的动态断裂韧度进行计算。研究结果表明,ISCSC构型构件能够有效应用于岩石材料动态裂纹扩展行为的研究,并发生了止裂现象,经分形修正的裂纹扩展速度与动态断裂韧度更接近实际裂纹动态扩展情况,修正前后得到黑砂岩材料的裂纹扩展速度误差为33.51%,动态断裂韧度最大误差为7.68%,说明利用分形理论对动态断裂韧度等动态断裂参数计算更合理。     

表面粗糙度对6061铝合金薄壁管冲击膨胀断裂性能的影响

采用分离式霍普金森杆实验技术,对表面加工后不同粗糙度的6061铝合金薄壁圆柱管进行动态膨胀断裂冻结回收实验,并对薄壁金属圆柱管动态膨胀断裂过程中裂纹萌生、扩展情况以及最终断裂模式等进行了研究。结果表明:相同冲击压力条件下,薄壁金属圆柱管表面粗糙度越大,材料越容易发生膨胀破裂;裂纹萌生于外壁面,由外向内扩展,并且裂纹的扩展主要受裂纹处应力状态的影响;薄壁金属圆柱管的断裂模式由拉伸和剪切断裂机制起主导作用,其断口为拉剪混合型断口。     

含单个Ⅰ型裂纹的高温超导块材应力强度因子修正及计算

高温超导块材在外磁场下降过程中会受到拉伸应力的作用，可能导致其断裂，且其在受到拉伸应力作用时裂纹尖端产生小范围屈服，此时用线弹性理论计算应力强度因子将不准确。本文通过统一强度理论对裂纹尖端塑性区的应力强度因子计算公式进行修正。随后基于Bean模型分别讨论了外磁场变化速率和外磁场大小对应力强度因子的影响。结果表明高温超导块材充磁过程中，外磁场以较小速率下降时主要考虑外磁场下降速率对裂纹扩展的影响，当外磁场较大时，主要考虑外磁场大小对裂纹扩展的影响。本文结果对高温超导块材充磁过程中的裂纹扩展和应力强度因子的计算具有一定的参考价值。     

复合载荷下脆性材料紧凑拉伸试件疲劳裂纹的预制

本文针对脆性材料的紧凑拉伸（CT）试件,提出了在复合疲劳载荷作用下预制疲劳裂纹的新方法,用此方法预制出7060-T6铝合金的CT试件疲劳裂纹并测试其断裂韧性。由于采用了框架结构和螺旋结构在CT试件的两侧面施加压缩载荷,在拉伸疲劳载荷作用下产生与之方向相反的压缩疲劳载荷,形成复合疲劳载荷,引起应力强度因子范围ΔK的下降,导致裂纹扩展速率的降低,从而控制了疲劳预制裂纹长度。此压缩疲劳载荷值用贴电阻片方法和组成全桥原理测定出。在一定拉伸疲劳载荷和压缩载荷下,可成功地预制出所需的疲劳裂纹长度。     

A 3-D ellipsoidal flaw model for brittle fracture in compression

Engineering materials are rarely free of flaws. Mode I cracking from pre-existing flaws is the major cause of the brittle fracture in compression of materials such as concrete and rock. A 3-D ellipsoidal flaw model is used to show the significant influence of flaw geometry on crack initiation in uniform uniaxial, biaxial and triaxial compression. The model shows that the governing criterion for crack initiation may change from energy to stress with increasing crack size, and that for voids of similar size a spherical void is the most critical shape for crack initiation. The model thus provides a basis for a better understanding of both the phenomenon and the mechanism of brittle fracture in compression.     

An improved experimental method for the determination of the critical stress intensity factor KIc of brittle materials

The critical stress intensity factor K_Ic is determined by a simple and accurate method, using small test specimens and a simple procedure in this paper.Single edge V-notched tension specimens made of PMMA are subjected to a load which is slowly increased until the crack begins to move from the notch tip. During the crack propagation event shadow patterns at the tip of the crack are recorded in a video recorder. Under these loading conditions, the creating real crack propagate slowly until the crack propagation velocity take an abrupt increase and the entire fracture of the specimen takes place. The stress intensity factor which correspond to the transition from the slow to fast crack speed, is the critical stress intensity factor K_Ic and it can be the fracture toughness of the material.The results are accurate and in good agreement with those values of K_Ic which are calculated by approximate theoretical expressions.The purpose of this paper is to introduce an improved, simple and accurate experimental method for the determination of fracture toughness of brittle materials.     

岩石紧凑拉伸断裂过程及其尺寸效应的三维数值模拟

采用最近开发的三维岩石破裂过程分析软件RFPA3D模拟单边裂纹紧凑拉伸断裂过程。试验中五个不同尺寸的岩样具有相同的力学性质参数分布,模拟结果得到了裂纹扩展中的应力场、位移场和声发射的空间分布以及单边裂纹扩展贯通的过程。单边裂纹拉伸断裂的路径是一个复杂的空间三维曲面,三维裂纹比二维裂纹更为复杂。分析了岩石试样的峰值强度和试样尺寸之间的关系。随着岩样尺寸的增加,峰值强度逐渐减小,并且延性破坏特征更加明显,模拟结果满足岩石的尺寸效应规律。最后模拟了三组不同均匀性的试样拉伸破坏过程,结果表明细观上的非均匀性对岩石尺寸效应有很大影响,随着非均匀性的增加,岩石宏观强度随之提高,即使在均匀材料中一样存在尺寸效应。     

Application of Laser Deposition to Mechanical Characterization of Advanced High Strength Steels Subject to Non-Proportional Loading

Background

Characterization of hardening and fracture limits of advanced high strength steels (AHSSs) undergoing strain path changes (SPCs) are particularly challenging for plane strain condition, which commonly occurs in sheet metal forming. There is a need for a simple, engineering-friendly method to characterize materials subjected to complex loading paths that mimic stress conditions in actual forming processes.

Objective

Experimental additive manufacturing techniques have been applied to reinforce AHSS specimens subjected to SPCs in order to broaden capabilities for characterizing hardening behavior and fracture limits.

Methods

Hardening curves subject to SPCs (e.g. uniaxial tension or equi-biaxial tension followed by plane strain) have been obtained with a programmable biaxial tensile testing system using cruciform-shaped specimens with load-bearing arms reinforced by laser deposition. A notched specimen selectively reinforced by laser deposition was newly designed to characterize fracture limits subjected to SPCs ending with plane strain condition.

Results

Complex loading histories were successfully enabled by applying laser deposition technology. Results show that both hardening behavior and fracture limits of a TRIP-assisted steel and a dual-phase steel are dependent on loading history.

Conclusions

It appears that the laser deposition technique can be used for material characterization under specific SPCs. Hardening behavior of AHSSs under SPCs ending with plane strain is quite different from traditional uniaxial tension-uniaxial compression tests. For materials sensitive to SPCs, multi-step forming can be a great option to reach the targeted forming shape.

     

金属材料中低加载速率下的动态韧脆转变及断裂韧性测量

金属材料在冲击下的韧脆转变现象和动态断裂韧性的测量是金属材料冲击力学性能研究的重要组成部分.针对金属材料在冲击下的韧脆转变现象认识不足和韧性材料在较低加载率下动态$J$-$R$阻力曲线难以测量的现状,提出了采用高速材料试验机, 设计专用试验夹具,测量15MnTi钢和11MnNiMo钢在不同加载速率下的韧脆转变过程,以及裂尖约束对其动态韧脆转变速率变化的影响.在高速材料试验机上采用上夹具辊刹车,通过调节压缩杆长度改变试验中裂纹扩展量的试验方法,测量了15MnTi钢三点弯曲试样件在较低加载率下的动态断裂韧性.试验发现15MnTi钢CT试验件加载速率低于0.025 m/s时呈现出韧性断裂的特点,加载速率在0.1,$\sim$,0.5 m/s时为韧脆结合型断裂,加载速率高于0.5 m/s后进入脆性断裂区; 11MnNiMo钢CT试验件加载速率大于1.5 m/s后,分层断裂过程中出现先脆断后韧段的现象;发现15MnTi钢和11MnNiMo的动态韧脆转变速率受裂尖约束的影响非常明显,面内约束和面外约束的升高都会导致材料动态脆断速率出现明显降低;还发现三点弯曲试验中, 15MnTi钢在8788 MPa$\cdot$mm/s加载率内断裂韧性随加载率的提升呈现出缓慢下降的趋势.      

Plane-stress fracture testing of finite sheets under biaxial loads

A procedure which combines the Williams series-type stress- and displacement-field expressions at the crack-tip neighborhood with a suitable numerical scheme away from the crack-tip was employed in the determination of the plane-stress fracture properties of four finite 7076-T6 aluminum sheets containing cracks emanating from a circular hole under four biaxial loads. The compatibility of the analytical and numerical displacements at the nodal points along the boundary of the crack-tip neighborhood was utilized in formulating displacement-continuity expressions containing some undetermined constants which solution depends on the nature of the boundary loading conditions. By linear superposition of the displacement due to remote uniaxial load and the displacements due to remotely applied transverse load in the neighborhood of the crack-tip, biaxial-displacement-continuity expressions containing these important fracture properties—namely, the opening Mode I stress-intensity factorK, the nonsingular stress term associated with the stresses in the direction parallel to the plane of cracksA and the integration termB associated with the displacement in this direction—were evaluated. Because no known biaxial testing of this geometry had been reported prior to this research, the analytical procedure was used to select the optimum geometry required in a biaxial fracture test of a finite-sheet specimen containing cracks emanating from a circular hole. This geometric optimization of the specimen guaranteed uniformity of stress all over the volume of specimen and also made the alteration of the existing MTS test fixtures unnecessary. Four square sheets of 7075-T6 aluminum alloy containing a central hole with two collinear cracks emanating radially at the edge of the hole were then fabricated in accordance with the analytically determined geometric requirements. The biaxial fracture test was then conducted under four biaxial load factors (λ) of 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. The fracture toughness obtained in this research was compared with those reported for uniaxial loading of large panels. It was found that there is a good correlation between the reported fracture toughness and this work.     

Experimental studies on the yield behavior of ductile and brittle aluminum foams

Specimen size effects are a major cause of the unreliability of foam models in finite element codes. Here, the modified Arcan apparatus is used to investigate the biaxial yielding of ductile and brittle Al foams. This apparatus subjects a central section of a “butterfly-shaped” specimen to a uniform state of plane stress. The stresses have local maxima at the central section, thus ensuring that yielding occurs there. A yield envelope, which directly relates to the crushing process, can then be determined. Size effects are introduced when using conventional methods such as tri-axial or plate-shear tests. In such tests, averages of stress and strain are measured. These measures do not represent the actual yield event, because foam's internal structure is inhomogeneous and so is the deformation field. Strain localization and failure can occur at any weak layer of cells in the bulk. In this study, we have performed a series of biaxial tests on isotropic Alporas and anisotropic Hydro closed-cell Al foams of approximately equal densities. Alporas failed locally by a ductile phenomenon of progressive crushing of cells. It also possessed uniaxial strength asymmetry. Hydro specimens parallel and perpendicular to ‘foam rise’ were investigated. The Hydro foam developed a local, characteristic brittle crack at loads in the vicinity of the yield point. Phenomenological yield surfaces, which incorporate these features are obtained for the foams, and show dependence on both the deviatoric and hydrostatic stresses. We also provide expressions for the shear and hydrostatic strengths in terms of the uniaxial strengths. Finally, the size-independence of the yield surface is verified using the uniaxial compression of tapered specimens.     

轻质泡沫混凝土的劈裂破坏力学行为分析

利用平台巴西圆盘加载方式和钢质压条加载方式,对两种厚度为25mm和50mm、不同密度的轻质泡沫混凝土(400～1000kg/m3)进行巴西圆盘劈裂试验,研究密度和厚度对泡沫混凝土裂纹宽度、劈裂强度、断裂韧度、断裂能的影响规律。结果表明,在橡胶垫平台巴西圆盘和钢质压条加载方式下,其劈裂断裂特征大致分为四个阶段:线性弹性段、非线性弹性段、起裂阶段、失稳阶段。同样加载率下最大裂纹宽度随着泡沫混凝土密度增加逐渐减小,劈裂拉伸强度、断裂韧度、断裂能呈幂函数形式增加。借鉴Reinhardt非线性软化曲线,对不同密度泡沫混凝土的应力软化关系进行曲线拟合,建立基于拉伸强度、断裂韧度等控制参数的应力-裂纹宽度关系三段式模型。基于试验结果,对理想多孔材料细观力学预测模型进行修正,获得泡沫混凝土孔隙率与拉伸强度的半经验公式。
