孪生诱发塑性对V-5Cr-5Ti合金应变硬化行为的影响

钒合金(V-Cr-Ti)作为潜在重要的聚变反应堆用结构材料, 近年来受到广泛的关注. 为了研究 V-5Cr-5Ti 合金不同应变率压缩下的应变硬化行为, 特别是孪生对塑性变形的影响, 以位错密度和孪晶演化为基础, 建立了该合金的应变硬化模型. 模型中考虑了孪晶中的位错滑移对材料塑性应变的贡献. 模拟结果表明, 由于孪生诱发塑性, 从而使动态压缩时的位错密度小于准静态加载时的, 这使得 V-5Cr-5Ti 合金在动态压缩时的应变硬化率比准静态加载时的小. 当孪晶形成后, 位错滑移引起的塑性应变率随应变增大而增大, 并逐渐接近加载应变率, 而孪生引起的塑性应变率则随应变增大而减小.

激光冲击下CoCrFeMnNi高熵合金微观塑性变形的分子动力学模拟

激光冲击强化技术可以有效地提高材料的疲劳寿命, 被广泛应用于航空航天领域. CoCrFeMnNi高熵合金作为一种经典的高熵合金体系, 研究其激光冲击强化后的微观组织变化以及冲击动态响应对该材料未来在航空航天领域中的应用具有重要意义. 采用分子动力学方法, 对CoCrFeMnNi高熵合金进行了冲击模拟, 发现冲击时弹、塑性双波分离现象以及微结构演化具有明显的取向相关性. 沿[100]方向进行冲击时未出现双波分离结构, 并且塑性变形过程中会产生中间相; 而沿[110]与[111]方向冲击时产生了双波分离结构, 并且受冲击区域存在大量的层错以及无序结构, 高位错密度是产生无序结构的重要原因. 双波分离现象与可开动滑移系个数有关, 而沿不同取向冲击时的Hugoniot弹性极限和发生塑性变形的临界冲击速度与其可开动滑移系的Schmid因子大小有关. 此外, 冲击诱导了梯度位错结构的产生, 位错密度沿冲击深度先增加后减小, 在沿原子密排方向冲击时产生了更高的位错密度. 冲击之后在模型两侧存在残余压应力, 芯部为残余拉应力, 残余应力的大小具有明显的取向相关性. 最后, 与具有相同尺寸及取向的纯Ni进行对比, 发现CoCrFeMnNi高熵合金在冲击过程中由于晶格畸变效应产生了较纯Ni更多的无序结构.

Micromechanical modeling of the elasto-viscoplastic behavior of semi-crystalline polymers

A micromechanically based constitutive model for the elasto-viscoplastic deformation and texture evolution of semi-crystalline polymers is developed. The model idealizes the microstructure to consist of an aggregate of two-phase layered composite inclusions. A new framework for the composite inclusion model is formulated to facilitate the use of finite deformation elasto-viscoplastic constitutive models for each constituent phase. The crystalline lamellae are modeled as anisotropic elastic with plastic flow occurring via crystallographic slip. The amorphous phase is modeled as isotropic elastic with plastic flow being a rate-dependent process with strain hardening resulting from molecular orientation. The volume-averaged deformation and stress within the inclusions are related to the macroscopic fields by a hybrid interaction model. The uniaxial compression of initially isotropic high density polyethylene (HDPE) is taken as a case study. The ability of the model to capture the elasto-plastic stress-strain behavior of HDPE during monotonic and cyclic loading, the evolution of anisotropy, and the effect of crystallinity on initial modulus, yield stress, post-yield behavior and unloading-reloading cycles are presented.     

Identification of damage mechanism and validation of a fracture model based on mesoscale approach in spalling of titanium alloy

The subject of this paper is identification of the physical mechanisms of spalling at low impact velocities for Ti–6Al–4V alloy and determination of the macroscopic stress of spalling via meso-macro approach. Spalling is a specific mode of fracture which depends on the loading history. The aspects of the initial microstructure and its evolution during plastic deformation are very important. In order to identify the spalling physical mechanisms in titanium alloy, numerous pictures by the optical microscopy of the spall surfaces created by plate impact technique have been taken. The scenario of failure observed is in complete agreement with known physical micro-mechanisms: namely nucleation, propagation and coalescence by adiabatic shearing of micro-voids. The most interesting point in spall fracture of Ti–6Al–4V alloy is the nucleation of micro-voids. A significant amount of small micro-voids in the region of the expected spall plane has been observed. It appears that microstructural effects are important due to dual α–β phase microstructure, called Widmanstätten structure. The orientation of microstructure has a direct influence on nucleation mechanism by means of distribution of nucleation sites and decohesion between the softer particles (α-phase lamellae) and the harder lattice (β-phase). According to these observations, a fracture model has been developed. This model is based on the numerous post-mortem microscopic observations of spall specimens. The goal is to determine the macroscopic stress of spalling in function of loading time and damage level via a meso-macro approach.     

Alloying effects on dislocation substructure evolution of aluminum alloys

The constitutive response of aluminum alloys is controlled by the evolution of dislocation substructure including mobile and forest dislocation density, cell size distribution and morphology, and misorientation angle between neighboring cells. The present study focuses upon the small strain regime and compares the measured microstructural evolution of 3003, 5005, and 6022 aluminum alloys during deformation. Room temperature tensile deformation experiments were performed on industrially manufactured specimens of each alloy and the evolving microstructure was compared with the mechanical response. The dislocation structure evolution was characterized using transmission electron microscopy and orientation imaging of deformed specimens. It was observed that structural evolution is a function of lattice orientation and the character of neighboring grains. In general, the dislocation cell size and misorientation angle between dislocation cells evolves systematically with deformation at relatively small strain levels.     

A multi-scale computational model of crystal plasticity at submicron-to-nanometer scales

Plastic flow in crystal at submicron-to-nanometer scales involves many new interesting problems. In this paper, a unified computational model which directly combines 3D discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) and continuum mechanics is developed to investigate the plastic behaviors at these scales. In this model, the discrete dislocation plasticity in a finite crystal is solved under a completed continuum mechanics framework: (1) an initial internal stress field is introduced to represent the preexisting stationary dislocations in the crystal; (2) the external boundary condition is handled by finite element method spontaneously; and (3) the constitutive relationship is based on the finite deformation theory of crystal plasticity, but the discrete plastic strains induced by the slip of the newly nucleated or propagating dislocations are calculated by dislocation dynamics methodology instead of phenomenological evolution equations used in conventional crystal plasticity. These discrete plastic strains are then localized to the continuum material points by a Burgers vector density function proposed by us. Various processes, such as loop dislocation evolution, dislocation junction formation etc., are simulated to verify the reliability of this computational model. Specifically, a uniaxial compression test for micro-pillars of Cu is simulated by this model to investigate the ‘dislocation starvation hardening’ observed in the recent experiment.

单晶镍基合金具有优异的耐高温、高强、高韧等性能, 这些力学性能受制造过程引入的次级取向和冷却孔的影响. 已有研究大多关注单孔薄板的变形机理和力学性能, 而工程中应用的往往是多孔薄板, 当前亟需阐明多孔的塑性滑移带变形机理、次级取向效应以及冷却孔引起的应变梯度效应. 文章采用基于位错机制的非局部晶体塑性本构模型对含冷却孔镍基单晶薄板的单拉变形进行了数值模拟. 此模型基于塑性滑移梯度与几何必需位错的关系引入了位错流动项, 因此可有效刻画非均匀变形过程中的应变梯度效应. 为了全面揭示含孔镍基薄板的次级取向效应, 系统研究了[100]和[110]取向(两种次级取向)下镍基薄板的单拉变形行为, 并重点探究了在两种次级取向下冷却孔数量对薄板塑性行为的影响. 此外, 还分析了镍基合金板变形过程中各个滑移系上分切应力变化、主导滑移系开动以及几何必需位错密度的演化过程, 并讨论了塑性滑移量及其分布特征对不同次级取向镍基合金板强度的影响. 研究表明, 单孔和多孔的[110]薄板抗拉强度均低于[100]薄板, 多孔薄板的塑性变形过程比单孔薄板更为复杂且受次级取向影响更大, 并且发生滑移梯度位置主要位于冷却孔附近以及塑性滑移带区域. 研究结果可为工程中镍基合金的设计和服役提供理论指导.      

Internal-state-variable based self-consistent constitutive modeling for hot working of two-phase titanium alloys coupling microstructure evolution

An internal-state-variable based self-consistent constitutive model was proposed for unified prediction of flow stress and microstructure evolution during hot working of wrought two-phase titanium alloys in both single-beta region and two-phase region. For each constituent phase of titanium alloys, a set of constitutive equations incorporating solution strengthening, Hall–Petch effect, dislocation interaction, and dynamic recrystallization were developed using internal state variable method. The effect of second phase on recystallization was modeled by considering particle stimulated nucleation and exerting drag force on boundary migration. The constitutive equations of constituent phases were implemented into a viscoplastic self-consistent scheme to predict the overall response of the aggregate. Predictions of the model are in good agreement with experimental results of the Ti–6Al–4V alloy and IMI834 alloy. The model can reproduce many features of the hot working of two-phase titanium alloys, including the dependence of flow stress on temperature, strain rate and alloying elements; the increase of strain rate sensitivity with temperature; the stress and strain partitionings between alpha and beta phases; the relatively high apparent activation energy in two-phase region, the decrease of recrystallization kinetics with temperature in two-phase region; and the decrease of recrystallized grain size with Zener–Hollomon parameter in beta working.
