加载速率和几何尺寸对国产A508-III钢断裂行为影响的实验研究

由加载速率和几何约束改变而引起的压力容器钢韧脆转变问题是核能安全领域亟待解决的关键问题. 为了准确分析国产A508-III钢的动态断裂行为, 借助INSTRON VHS高速材料试验机, 开展了不同加载速率和几何尺寸条件下的国产A508-III钢的断裂韧性试验, 研究了加载速率和几何尺寸等因素对国产A508-III钢动态断裂韧性的影响. 研究表明, A508-III钢具有良好的抗冲击韧性, 随着加载速率的提高, 试样的总冲击吸收能基本保持恒定, 裂纹萌生吸收能量不断上升, 而裂纹扩展吸收能量呈下降趋势. J-Δa阻力曲线和条件起裂韧性J_Q随着几何约束的增加而降低, 随加载速率的增加而升高. 当达到某一临界速率时, 条件起裂韧性J_Q基本恒定, 试样断裂方式也由韧性断裂转变为韧?脆?韧混合断裂. 由于出现混合断裂模式, 发生脆性断裂时的最大J积分值J_max更适于描述国产A508-III钢的断裂韧性演化规律. 随着试样面外几何约束的降低, J_max随Δa_m的增加而线性增大. 试样面内几何约束越高, J_max与Δa_m之间的线性关系斜率越大. 随着试样几何约束的增加, 材料的韧脆转变速率增加, J_max值下降. 改变几何约束只能在有限的加载速率范围内改变材料的断裂方式, 当加载速率超过某个临界值时, 加载速率成为影响材料断裂方式的主要因素.

Effect of constraint on fracture controlled by stress or strain

To interpret fracture of solids, an appropriate fracture criterion is required. It is often believed that the level of strain ahead of a crack tip controls the fracture event for materials exhibiting high ductility, e.g. ductile fracture of A533B steel in the upper shelf regime. And the level of stress ahead of a crack tip controls the brittle fracture event, e.g. cleavage fracture of A533B steel in the lower shelf regime. Within each regime (ductile or brittle), the level of constraint of a specimen or structure determines the magnitude of the apparent fracture toughness. In this paper, we address the difference in the effect of constraint on the stress- or strain-controlled fracture. It is found that the constraint plays an opposite role to the apparent fracture toughness values for strain-controlled vs. stress-controlled fracture.

Effect of cooling rate on fracture behavior of polypropylene

The purpose of this work is to investigate the influence of morphology, induced by cooling rate during molding, on the time–temperature dependence of fracture behavior of polypropylene (PP). Fractures tests were performed over a range of loading rates from 0.2 mm/min to 2.5 m/s, using the single edge notched bending specimen. The results show that the transition temperature from brittle to ductile behavior increases with decreasing cooling rate. However, at very low loading speed (0.2 mm/min), an opposite effect is observed, the brittle–ductile transition temperature diminishes with lower cooling rate. At low test speeds, the fracture performance is reduced with a decreasing cooling rate. Conversely, under impact, the fracture toughness of PP is enhanced with a decrease in cooling rate. This is explained by the mechanism of blunting of the crack tip due to adiabatic heating under high loading rates. The blunting effect results in a more significant plastic deformation of the crystalline region that requires a higher energy. The brittle–ductile transition was characterized by an energy activation process expressed by the Arrhenius equation. Decreasing the cooling rate results in a decrease of both the pre-exponential factor and the energy barrier controlling the time–temperature dependence of fracture behavior. The reduction of the pre-exponential factor corresponds to a more ordered morphology due to a reduction in the entropy and is consistent with a higher crystallinity. The reduction of activation energy with higher crystalline level suggests that the brittle–ductile transition also involves the primary relaxation process that is known to occur mostly in an amorphous structure. A higher crystallinity would restrain the primary relaxation processes and the brittle–ductile transition becomes more dependent on the secondary movements of the chain segments. The results demonstrate that the relationship between deformation rate, temperature, and mechanical performance of PP is not only controlled by molecular relaxation processes, but also strongly dependent on its morphology.     

Laser speckle decorrelation as a noncontact method for brittle-ductile fracture differentiation

Quasi-static fracture in four-point-bend specimens of both brittle and ductile materials was examined using a method which required only photographic access to the specimen surface. Decorrelation of laser speckle patterns was used as a means to map out two-dimensional regions of high surface strain associated with crack propagation. ASTM A515 grade 70 steel was tested, at temperatures above and below its brittle-ductile transition temperature, by double-exposure speckle photography of the area ahead of the crack tip. The regions where the two speckle patterns were uncorrelated, determined by pointwise spatial filtering of the speckle interferograms, have been observed and are related to plastic deformation of the specimen surface near the crack tip. A subsequent comparison of the decorrelation zones resulting from brittle versus ductile states showed differences as expected in both zone size and shape.     

Effect of Notch-Tip Radius on Dynamic Brittle Fracture of Polycarbonate

Polycarbonate (PC), which is considered to be a ductile amorphous polymer, is prone to brittle fracture in the presence of sharp notches. In the present work, effect of notch-tip radius on brittle fracture of PC is studied under static and under dynamic loading (high loading rates) conditions. Towards this end, a hybrid experimental and numerical approach is adopted. Dynamic fracture experiments using Hopkinson bar setup are performed on single-edge notched specimen of PC having different notch-tip radii. Ultra-high speed imaging is used for real-time observation of the fracture process. Finite element simulations are simultaneously performed using a well calibrated elastic-viscoplastic constitutive model for polymers. In the presence of a notch, brittle fracture in PC starts with a defect nucleation ahead of it. For each notch-tip radii, we are experimentally able to capture the process of defect initiation and quantify the mean stress required, static as well as dynamic loading. We found that the mean stress required for defect nucleation increases with decreasing notch-tip radius due to increased triaxility at the notch-tip. Defect initiation stresses are also higher for dynamic conditions compared to static loading. Defect initiation toughness for dynamic loading is always higher than those for static loading, but reduction in defect initiation toughness with decreasing notch-tip is severe for dynamic loading.
