一种用于材料高应变率剪切性能测试的新型加载技术

高应变率下的冲击剪切实验技术是材料动态力学行为及其微观机理研究的重要基础.采用分离式霍普金森压杆(split Hopkinson pressure bar)装置一般可以获得材料在104s-1以内应变率的动态力学性能.在超过104s-1的应变率下对材料进行冲击剪切测试时,通常需要采用高速压剪飞片技术或由气炮发射子弹对试样进行直接加载.本文提出一种可用于传统霍普金森压杆技术的新型双剪切试样,可以在103~105s-1剪应变率范围实现对材料剪切性能的精确测量;同时,可以对材料的变形及失效过程进行直接观测.试样与压杆之间避免了复杂的界面或连接装置,通过转接头可以保证试样与压杆直接接触,提高测试精度,同时可以防止因试样的横向位移而导致的非均匀变形.获得了紫铜在1400~75000s-1应变率下的剪应力-剪应变曲线,并采用计算软件"ABAQUS/Explicit"对双剪切试样的动态加载过程进行了数值模拟和结果验证.分析表明,剪切区的主要区域内剪切成分占主导地位,其应力应变场沿厚度及宽度方向基本呈均匀分布.实验得到的剪应力-剪应变曲线与模拟结果吻合较好,说明所提出的基于分离式霍普金森压杆系统的双剪切试样可以为材料的高应变率力学性能测试提供一种方便有效的加载技术.

不同应变率下冰破坏特性的试验研究

为研究寒区流冰对水工/船舶结构的影响,需要获得不同流速冰载荷的特征,准静态下不同应变率条件下冰材料变形至破坏的特征就成为一项重要的基础性问题。为此,开展了低温环境应变率10-2s-1至10-4s-1下淡水冰的单轴压缩试验。试验发现:随着应变率减小,极限应力由18.51MPa降低至8.44MPa,达到极限应力后,试件承载能力由瞬间消失变为逐渐降低至稳态,试件破坏形貌由劈裂转变为周向膨胀,即由脆性转变为韧性破坏,转变应变率约为10-3s-1;在双对数坐标系中,单轴压缩强度随应变率的增加近似呈线性增大。通过对应力-应变曲线进行积分,给出了不同破坏形式下冰变形至破坏的临界应变能密度,发现脆/韧转变状态下加载至破坏所需能量最大,该能量特征主要由冰中微裂纹的萌生、断面摩擦、再结晶引起。

AA7075-T6复杂加载状态下断裂极限研究

为研究航空铝合金AA7075-T6板材在复杂加载状态下的韧性断裂力学性能,设计4种包含不同应力状态的拉伸试验和液压胀形试验来获取材料的硬化特性和断裂参数。通过不同应变率和不同轧制方向的拉伸试验得到相应的应力-应变曲线,分别采用不同硬化模型和DF2016韧性断裂准则对其硬化行为和断裂特性进行表征。结果表明AA7075-T6狗棒试件在应变率为1 s^-1和10 s^-1时重复性较好,应变率为100 s^-1时应力-应变曲线出现明显的抖动,但随着应变率的增加没有出现明显的应变率强化效应。而且对比7个轧制方向的应力-应变结果发现,不同角度的拉伸强度和断裂应变基本相同。因此在研究范围内AA7075-T6表现为一种各向同性且关于应变率不敏感的材料。采用Swift-Voce硬化模型的预测效果最好,DF2016韧性断裂准则可以准确预测AA7075-T6在剪切、单轴拉伸、平面应变拉伸和等轴拉伸等不同应力状态的断裂位置。

Rheology of concentrated microgel solutions

Viscosity, modulus, and yield stress for 0–6 wt% aqueous solutions of Carbopol 941 were investigated using constant shear rate, constant shear stress, and dynamic oscillatory experiments. The microgel character of the polymer was evident from the solid-like behavior of the solutions above 1 wt%. Yield stress increased with concentration, but yield occurred at a critical shear strain of 40%, independent of concentration. The static stress-strain relationship became non-linear at ~ 25% strain, in fair agreement with the onset of non-linear response in the storage modulus at ~ 10% strain. Small strain moduli from static and low frequency measurements agreed rather well; modulus values obtained from the recoverable strain after yielding were 30–40% smaller. Solutions flowed at near-constant stress in the low shear rate regime; at higher rates the stress increases with shear rate more rapidly. The viscosity did not obey the Cox-Merz rule. Steady-state viscosity scaled with polymer concentration to the 3/4 power. Results were interpreted using a cellular, deformable sphere model for the polymer, in analogy to emulsions and foams.     

Nonlinear viscoelasticity of PP/PS/SEBS blends

The nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of polypropylene/polystyrene (PP/PS) blends compatibilized or not with the linear triblock copolymer (styrene-ethylene-/butylene-styrene, SEBS) was investigated. Start-up of steady-shear at rates from 0.1 to 10 s^–1 was carried out using a controlled strain rotational rheometer and a sliding plate rheometer for strain histories involving one or several shear rates. The shear stress and first normal shear stress difference were measured as functions of time, and the morphologies of the samples before and after shearing were determined. For each strain history except that involving a single shear rate of 0.1 s^–1 the blends showed typical non-linear viscoelastic behavior: a shear stress overshoot/undershoot, depending on the history, followed by a steady state for each step. The first normal stress difference increased monotonically to a steady-state value. The values of the stresses increased with the addition of SEBS. The shear stress overshoot and undershoot and the times at which they occurred depended strongly on the strain history, decreasing for a subsequent shear rate step performed in the same direction as the former, and the time at which stress undershoot occurred increased for a subsequent shear rate step performed in the opposite direction, irrespective of the magnitude of the shear rate. This behavior was observed for all the blends studied. The time of overshoot in a single-step shear rate experiment is inversely proportional to the shear rate, and the steady-state value of N₁ scaled linearly with shear rate, whereas the steady-state shear stress did not. The average diameter of the dispersed phase decreased for all strain histories when the blend was not compatibilized. When the blend was compatibilized, the average diameter of the dispersed phase changed only during the stronger flows. Experimental data were compared with the predictions of a model formulated using ideas of Doi and Ohta (1991), Lacroix et al. (1998) and Bousmina et al. (2001). The model correctly predicted the behavior of the uncompatibilized blends for single-step shear rates but not that of the compatibilized blends, nor did it predict morphologies after shearing.     

Elastic properties of polyethylene melts at high shear rates with respect to extrusion

At high shear rates a steady state of shear flow with constant shear rate, constant shear stress, and constant recoverable shear strain is observed in the short-time sandwich rheometer after some few shear units already. The melt exhibits rather high elastic shear deformations and the recovery occurs at much higher speed than it is observed in the newtonian range. The ratio of first normal stress difference and twice the shear stress, being equal to the recoverable strain in the second-order fluid limit, significantly underestimates the true elastic shear strains at high shear rates. The observed shear rate dependence of shear stress and first normal stress difference as well as of the (constrained) elastic shear strain is correctly described on the basis of a discrete relaxation time spectrum. In simple shear a stick-slip transition at the metal walls is found. Necessary for the onset of slip is a critical value of shear stress and a certain amount of elastic shear deformation or orientation of the melt.     

Modelling of adiabatic shear band development from small imperfections

A model of shear banding is presented which shows how a wide shear band develops from a narrow imperfection in an elasto-viscoplastic material subjected to dynamic shear strain. The model predicts that the width of the shear band is (i) independent of the properties of the initial imperfection and (ii) dependent upon thermal conductivity and strain rate. The dependence upon strain rate is verified qualitatively and quantitatively from experimental results. Finally, the model predicts narrowing of the region of rapid straining with ongoing deformation as is observed in experiment.     

Experimental study on yield behavior of Daqing crude oil

The yield behavior of Daqing crude oil was studied by means of multi-mode controlled-stress tests with a high-precision stress controlled rheometer. Two experiments of creep and constant stress loading rate were performed. The yield stress of gelled crude oil was dependent on the test conditions such as the stress loading time and the stress loading rate, but the yield strain did not change with test conditions. The yield strain did exist objectively and it can be used as the criterion for the yielding of the structure of gelled crude oil. The yield strain of gelled oil was studied through experiments of creep, constant stress loading rate, oscillatory shear stress increase, and constant shear rate. The yield strain of gelled crude oil decreased with the increasing gel strength. The experiment of constant speed increase of stress showed the strain softening phenomena for low gel strength oil.

Shear Testing of Polypropylene Materials Analysed by Digital Image Correlation and Numerical Simulations

Distributions of shear strains and strain states (triaxiality) were analysed for two in-plane shear test fixtures (Iosipescu and V-notched rail), using digital image correlation and numerical simulations. Three different polypropylene-based materials (two talc-filled compounds and one unfilled homopolymer) were tested. The three materials behaved differently in the shear tests. Most notably, cracks developed in tension near the notches for the particle-filled materials, while the unfilled homopolymer did not fracture. There were also differences between the materials regarding strain localisation between the notches, strain rates vs. strain level (for a given cross-head speed), thickness change in the sheared section, and triaxiality. The yield stresses in shear, uniaxial tension and uniaxial compression showed pressure sensitivity. At least for equivalent strain rates below 1?s^?1, the strain rate sensitivity of the yield stress was approximately the same in these three stress states. The stress?Cstrain curves obtained with the two methods were quite similar for these materials. There were some differences between the methods regarding the ease of mounting and aligning specimens, the complexity of specimen deformation patterns, and the uniformity of the shear strain distribution between the notches.
