高速DSPI研究PLC剪切带成核演化过程

在适当的温度、应变率和预变形下,合金材料的拉伸试验中,将会出现伴随应力锯齿形跌落的雪崩式剪切变形带,即PLC(Portevin-Le Chatelier)效应。本文利用高速(1000 fps)数字散斑干涉法(DSPI),对不同加载应变率下,铝合金(LY10)试件中出现的连续(A-type)、间断(B-type)传播和随机(C-type)出现的三种PLC剪切带的瞬态成核与演化过程进行捕捉,通过对捕捉的试件表面系列散斑干涉图进行顺序相减处理,得到试件表面变形过程中位移的分布和演化系列条纹图。实验结果显示,对应于三种类型的剪切带,有两种主要的成核演化形式:1.A型剪切带的主要成核形式为先形成一个在观察平面上与拉伸轴方向成60°角并且横跨试件宽度的窄带,伴随着应力下落,剪切带开始沿自身宽度方向高速扩展达到最终宽度;2.对应于B、C型剪切带,先在观察平面上试件的一侧形成沿与拉伸轴方向呈60°角、长度约为最终长度一半的窄带。随着应力下落,带的前沿开始向试件的另一侧面沿自身长度方向传播,在传播过程中带逐渐沿自身宽度方向膨胀。带的前沿贯穿试件后,带开始高速膨胀,导致雪崩式剪切变形发生。

On the propagation and pulsation of Portevin-Le Chatelier deformation bands: An experimental study with digital speckle pattern metrology

The Portevin-Le Chatelier (PLC) effect is closely associated with inhomogeneous deformation, which is characterized by the band of strain localization. In this work, the spatio-temporal dynamics of the Portevin-Le Chatelier deformation bands are investigated by a novel digital speckle pattern metrology technique consisting of digital speckle pattern interferometry (DSPI) and digital speckle correlation (DSC). A series of tension process of a commercial aluminum alloy (A2017) under different imposed strain rates in a range from 10⁻⁶ to 10⁻³ s⁻¹ are monitored in real time with this technique. The formation of the PLC band, the evolution of the band structure and the propagation of the band are visualized and followed by fringe patterns. The distribution of the deformation in the specimen containing the band is measured precisely. It is shown that even for a tensile test, an elastic shrinkage deformation, which is caused by the avalanche-like shearing deformation within the band, occurs outside the band.     

Sequential evaluation of continuous deformation field of semi-crystalline polymers during tensile deformation accompanied by neck propagation

The localized deformation field of high density polyethylene and polypropylene during a tensile test accompanied by neck propagation was quantitatively evaluated based on the network digital image correlation method. In the proposed method, the continuity of the deformation field around a point of interest was introduced for accurate evaluation of the displacement. The accuracy of the proposed method was verified through test images. Using the proposed method, the development of a non-uniform displacement field during tensile tests was evaluated from sequential digital images. The local strain rate was almost uniform until the nominal stress reached its maximum value. After the maximum stress was reached, non-uniform deformation developed at a part of the gauge region of the specimen. A decrease in nominal stress induced a reduction of the local strain rate at regions other than the necked zone. In this study, the cross section average local true stress, strain, and strain rate can be evaluated from the local displacement field. Thus, the relationship between these quantities was evaluated during the tensile tests. Using the proposed method, the local response under wide ranges of strain and strain rate can be evaluated from a few test conditions of tensile strain rate and a small range of tensile strain. Finally, the relationships between gradients of stress, strain, and strain rate under uniaxial tension are discussed. These non-local quantities deviated from those predicted by constitutive equations when the domain size used to evaluate the local quantities was large.     

On the Occurrence of Portevin–Le Châtelier Instabilities in Ultrafine-Grained 5083 Aluminum Alloys

The Portevin–Le Châtelier (PLC) instability is commonly observed in Al–Mg alloys and is manifested in serrated flow within the stress–strain response. We investigate the persistence of this instability with reduction in grain size by studying an ultrafine-grained (ufg) aluminum alloy (Al5083) and a conventional grain size Al5083. Micro-scale tensile tests combined with digital image correlation (DIC) reveal strength anisotropy and heterogeneity of the deformation in the three material directions (extrusion, rolled, and transverse). For the same applied displacement rate, the PLC effect in ufg-Al5083 is observed only over a small strain range immediately following the yield, while the coarse-grained Al5083 exhibits serrated flow over nearly the entire plastic strain range. These observations are explained using the stability analysis of Hähner (Acta Mater 45:3695–3707, 1997), and implications for nanocrystalline (nc) alloys are discussed.

Experimental Study on Three-Dimensional Deformation Field of Portevin–Le Chatelier Effect Using Digital Image Correlation

In view of its high precision and high efficiency, three-dimensional digital image correlation (3D-DIC) is widely used to accurately measure full-field deformation. A spatiotemporal experimental study using 3D-DIC to explore the Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) deformational behavior, provides a new insight into the whole 3D deformation field, including the out-of-plane displacement, and in particular the relationship between the serrations and the strain field in the deformation bands corresponding to individual serrations. Specimens 1, 2 and 3 mm thick of 5456 Al-based alloy were tested in uniaxial tension at room temperature at strain rates from 1.8 × 10^?4 to 9.1 × 10^?3s^?1. The spatial and temporal characteristics of the strain localization were quantitatively analyzed. The out-of-plane displacement increment field (w) of the localized bands was observed by 3D-DIC, and found to be related to the specimen thickness and the in-plane strain increment. The largest displacement increments were respectively 15, 10 and 5 μm for 3, 2 and 1 mm specimens at maximum strain increment of about 12000 με. The elastic shrinkage outside the deformation bands was found to be an essential characteristic of the PLC effect. The width of the PLC band (w_band) increased with increasing thickness; the angle of the PLC band (??_band) was not affected by either specimen thickness or serration amplitude. Temporally, the serrations in the plots both of in-plane strain and out-of-plane displacement vs. time coincided throughout the entire loading procedure. When PLC banding occurred, the serration amplitude within the bands was found to be proportional to the maximum strain increment in the direction of the applied tensile force (??_max).     

基于双线性位移模式数字图像相关方法的误差分析及应用

A perturbation analysis of the unstable plastic flow pattern evolution in an aluminum alloy

In the tensile loading of sheet metals made from some polycrystalline aluminum alloys, a single deformation band appears inclined to the elongation axis in the early stage of deformation, and symmetric double bands are observed in the later stage. This evolution of spatial characteristics of such an unstable plastic flow pattern in a polycrystalline aluminum alloy has been analyzed by a perturbation method. A small number of slip modes are taken to describe the tensile strain. A rate-dependent constitutive equation is used for each slip mode to account for the interaction between dislocations and solute atoms in dynamic strain aging. Unconstrained and constrained models are used to impose appropriate loading conditions at the early and later deformation stages, respectively. Both plane-strain and plane-stress cases are considered. It is found out that the change of boundary conditions and material inhomogeneity during the course of plastic deformation are closely related to the evolution of spatial characteristics of shear band (the Portevin–Le Chatelier band) patterns observed in experiments.     

An experimental and numerical investigation of the behaviour of AA5083 aluminium alloy in presence of the Portevin–Le Chatelier effect

An experimental investigation of the Portevin–Le Chatelier (PLC) effect in the aluminium alloy AA5083-H116 is undertaken in this study through five different tests involving round, prismatic and flat notched specimen geometries. Measurements based on strain gages and digital image correlation (DIC) are used to capture and characterize the spatio-temporal features of the PLC behaviour. Inhomogeneous deformation with various localization bands caused by the PLC effect is observed in all tests, and the band characteristics are measured. The McCormick elastic–viscoplastic constitutive relation, developed for metals exhibiting this type of dynamic strain aging, is then described in detail, before the various parameters required by the model are determined based on available material tests. The model is finally used in full-scale 3D numerical simulations of the physical tests using the explicit solver of the non-linear finite element code LS-DYNA. It will be shown that the numerical results are able to reproduce most of the experimentally observed phenomena with reasonable accuracy. However, if the model is used to study the micromechanical mechanisms controlling the macromechanical behaviour of materials exhibiting PLC effects (such as the band morphology), more advanced constitutive relations may be required.     

Detection of plastic deformation patterns in a binary aluminum alloy

A whole-field, in-plane strain-mapping technique is evaluated for in situ monitoring of plastic deformation patterns in aluminum sheet metals. This technique is built on the recent developments in digital image correlation and improved data reduction procedures. The sensitivity and accuracy of the measured local strain variations are critically examined in terms of random and systematic experimental errors, free-surface roughening due to large plastic deformation and microscopic surface grain deformation. Tensile specimens made from an annealed Al−Mg alloy sheet metal are subjected to a large plastic and macroscopically uniform deformation, and no visible deformation patterns can be identified by direct surface observation. Using an incremental strain-mapping approach, the existence of nonstationary deformation bands in the annealed Al−Mg alloy is uncovered. The developed technique can be used to study the formation and evolution of plastic deformation patterns and their effect on tensile ductility, formability and surface finish of sheet metals.
