ASTM和ISO已发布获得低约束条件下断裂性能和裂纹稳态扩展阻力曲线的标准,标准中采用多种试验方法确定临界裂纹张开角度来表征板材的裂纹稳态扩展。本文采用准静态裂纹扩展试验方法,通过摄像技术测定裂纹尖端张开角(CTOA),验证标准对1mm厚度2024-T3铝合金板稳态裂纹扩展行为的有效性。研究了试样构型、裂纹尺寸和是否疲劳预制裂纹对裂纹稳态扩展过程中CTOA的影响。试验结果表明:裂纹扩展2mm后,距离裂纹尖端1mm处的CTOA趋于一个恒定值6°,这个值与试样构型和裂纹长度无关;同时,不预制疲劳裂纹对CTOA值和试样的最大剩余强度影响较小。

复合型裂纹断裂的新准则

以Ⅰ-Ⅱ复合型裂纹为研究对象,对裂纹尖端的塑性区分布规律进行了理论分析。引入两组评价裂纹尖端应力场对裂纹扩展影响的参数,考虑裂纹尖端存在的局部塑性变形,并采纳如下两个假设,(1)裂纹沿最短路径穿过塑性区向弹性区扩展,(2)当在扩展方向上的弹塑性边界极半径r大于其临界极半径rC时,裂纹开始扩展。在此基础上,导出了新的复合型裂纹断裂准则,并与现有部分断裂准则及实验结果进行了对比。结果表明：新建立的复合裂纹断裂准则与实验结果吻合程度非常高。最后,阐明了以单一KIC或KIIC建立的复合裂纹扩展准则的局限性以及考虑裂纹尖端当前应力场的必要性。     

裂纹面摩擦接触引起的断裂韧性增长的研究

采用弹黏塑性的材料本构关系, 建立了压、剪混合型裂纹常速准静 态扩展的力学模型, 求得了裂纹面摩擦接触条件下裂纹尖端场的数值解, 并基于数 值结果讨论了扩展裂纹的摩擦效应. 计算和分析表明, 裂纹面的摩擦效应主要表现 在两个方面. 第一方面是摩擦会导致裂纹尖端区材料的断裂韧性增高, 并且裂纹面间的摩擦作用越强, 增韧效果越显著. 摩擦增韧的机制可以解释为裂纹 面间的摩擦作用导致裂纹尖端塑性区尺寸变大, 使裂纹尖端场的塑性变形能增加, 从而使得裂纹尖端区材料增韧. 摩擦生热并不是导致材料断裂韧性增长的根本机制. 第二方面是摩擦会导致``断裂延缓'. 利用裂纹面的摩擦来提高构件的承载能力和延长构件的服役寿命具有较大的工程实用价值.     

蠕变材料Ⅰ型动态扩展裂纹尖端场

为了研究黏性效应作用下的动态扩展裂纹尖端渐近场，建立了蠕变材料Ⅰ型动态扩展裂纹的 力学模型.首先，依据在稳态蠕变阶段，弹性变形和黏性变形同时在裂纹尖端场中占主导地 位，由量级协调可知，应力和应变具有相同的奇异量级，即(σ,ε)∝/ r- 1/(n-1). 其次，通过渐近分析推导出动态扩展裂纹尖端场的控制方程并求得了裂纹尖端应 力、应变和位移分离变量形式的渐近解.最后，采用双参数打靶法求得了裂纹尖端应力、应 变的数值结果.数值计算表明，裂尖场主要受材料的蠕变指数n和马赫数M的控制；在Ⅰ 型动态扩展裂纹前方，环向应变达到最大值，可据此建立断裂准则. 由于裂纹稳定扩展与非稳定扩展的主奇异项相同，因此对于稳定扩展裂纹的渐近分析方 法，同样适用于非稳定的裂纹扩展问题.

INFLUENCE OF LOADING RATE ON DYNAMIC FRACTURE BEHAVIOR OF FIBER-REINFORCED COMPOSITES

The effect of loading rate on the dynamic fracture properties and the failure mechanisms of glass fiber-reinforced composite materials under mode I fracture is studied. Dynamic reflective caustic experiments are carried out for two loading rates. By measuring the characteristic dimensions of the shadow spots during the caustic experiments, the dynamic SIFs are calculated for different loading rates. The experimental results indicate that the dynamic fracture toughness Kid increases remarkably with increasing loading rate, and the crack grows faster under the high-velocity impact. Moreover, by examining the crack growth routes and the fracture surfaces, it is shown that the loading rate also greatly affects the failure mechanisms at micro-scale.     

一种基于SHTB的Ⅱ型动态断裂实验技术

冲击剪切载荷作用下动态断裂韧性的测定是材料力学性能和断裂行为研究中重要组成部分.为了测定材料的Ⅱ型动态断裂韧性,许多学者采用不同的试样与实验方法进行了实验,但限于实验条件,裂纹断裂模式往往是I+Ⅱ复合型,而不是纯Ⅱ型,因而不能准确测得材料的Ⅱ型动态断裂韧性.鉴于此,本文基于分离式霍普金森拉杆(split Hopkinson tension bar,SHTB)实验技术,提出一种改进的紧凑拉伸剪切(modified compact tension shear,MCTS)试样,通过夹具对MCTS试样施加约束,从而保证试样按照纯Ⅱ型模式断裂.采用实验-数值方法对MCTS试样动态加载过程进行分析,将实验测得的波形输入有限元软件ANSYS-LSDYNA,得到了裂纹尖端应力强度因子-时间曲线,并与紧凑拉伸剪切(compact tension shear,CTS)试样进行了对比.同时采用数字图像相关法进行了实验,验证了有限元分析结果.结果表明,MCTS试样在整个加载过程中K_I K_Ⅱ,裂纹没有张开;而CTS试样在同样的加载过程中K_IK_Ⅱ,出现裂纹张开现象.这说明MCTS试样能够准确地测定材料的Ⅱ型动态断裂韧性,为材料动态力学测试提供了一种有效的实验技术.     

Brittle fracture: Variation of fracture toughness with constraint and crack curving under mode I conditions

The effect of constraint on brittle fracture of solids under predominantly elastic deformation and mode I loading conditions is studied. Using different cracked specimen geometry, the variation of constraint is achieved in this work. Fracture tests of polymethyl methacrylate were performed using single edge notch, compact tension and double cantilever beam specimens to cover a bread range of constraint. The test data demonstrate that the apparent fracture toughness of the material varies with the specimen geometry or the constraint level. Theory is developed using the critical stress (strain) as the fracture criterion to show that this variation can be interpreted using the critical stress intensity factorK _Cand a second parameterT orA ₃,whereT andA ₃are the amplitudes of the second and the third term in the Williams series solution, respectively. The implication of this constraint effect to the ASTM fracture toughness value, crack tip opening displacement fracture criterion and energy release rateG _Cis discussed. Using the same critical stress (strain) as the fracture criterion, the theory further predicts crack curving or instability under mode I loading conditions. Experimental data are presented and compared with the theory.     

Effect of pure mode I,II or III loading or mode mixity on crack growth in a homogeneous solid

Crack growth is analyzed numerically under combined mode I, II and III loading, or under loading in one of these modes alone. The solid is a ductile metal modelled as elastic–plastic, and the fracture process is represented in terms of a cohesive zone model. The analyses are carried out for conditions of small-scale yielding, with the elastic mixed mode solution applied as boundary conditions on the outer edge of the region analyzed. For pure mode I loading crack growth continued far beyond the maximum fracture toughness shows that the predicted subsequent steady-state toughness is well below the maximum. The reason for this is discussed in terms of the local stress and strain fields around the tip. For pure mode II or mode III loading it is shown that there is no maximum before the steady-state. Also results for different mixed mode conditions are presented and discussed in relation to the results for loading in only one mode. Most of the results are based on assuming that the peak tractions for tangential separation are equal to that for normal separation, but it is shown that a relatively smaller peak traction for tangential separation may significantly affect the predictions.     

A novel method in determination of dynamic fracture toughness under mixed mode I/II impact loading

The objective of this paper is to propose a novel methodology for determining dynamic fracture toughness (DFT) of materials under mixed mode I/II impact loading. Previous experimental investigations on mixed mode fracture have been largely limited to qusi-static conditions, due to difficulties in the generation of mixed mode dynamic loading and the precise control of mode mixity at crack tip, in absence of sophisticated experimental techniques. In this study, a hybrid experimental–numerical approach is employed to measure mixed mode DFT of 40Cr high strength steel, with the aid of the split Hopkinson tension bar (SHTB) apparatus and finite element analysis (FEA). A fixture device and a series of tensile specimens with an inclined center crack are designed for the tests to generate the components of mode I and mode II dynamic stress intensity factors (DSIF). Through the change of the crack inclination angle β (=90°, 60°, 45°, and 30°), the K_II/K_I ratio is successfully controlled in the range from 0 to 1.14. A mixed mode I/II dynamic fracture plane, which can also exhibit the information of crack inclination angle and loading rate at the same time, is obtained based on the experimental results. A safety zone is determined in this plane according to the characteristic line. Through observation of the fracture surfaces, different fracture mechanisms are found for pure mode I and mixed mode fractures.     

复合型韧性断裂实验和控制参数

通过对不同韧性材料在各种平面复合载荷形式下裂纹启裂阶段裂端变形、启裂位置和扩展方向的系统的宏微观实验验证及计算分析,考察了韧性断裂参数空穴扩张比的分布特征和裂纹启裂及扩展方向的关系．得到：对于不同韧性的材料,在裂端的钝化变形区域,空穴扩张比的极大值区对应干裂纹的启裂位置,裂纹启裂时钝化裂端前缘空穴扩张比的临界值不敏感于复合比的变化．而对于裂纹启裂后的扩展方向,则需根据具体材料在相应的特定区域中比较空穴扩张比参数极大值的分布特征,需经进一步的分析,从而确定裂纹的扩展方向．实验及计算结果表明,尽管复合型断裂时裂纹启裂及扩展的机理极其复杂,用于韧性材料复合型断裂的空穴扩张比参数仍能很好地预测裂端的启裂及扩展方向,可作为复合型韧性断裂过程的控制参数．     

Mixed mode (I and II) crack tip fields in bulk metallic glasses

Stationary crack tip fields in bulk metallic glasses under mixed mode (I and II) loading are studied through detailed finite element simulations assuming plane strain, small scale yielding conditions. The influence of internal friction or pressure sensitivity on the plastic zones, notch deformation, stress and plastic strain fields is examined for different mode mixities. Under mixed mode loading, the notch deforms into a shape such that one part of its surface sharpens while the other part blunts. Increase in mode II component of loading dramatically enhances the normalized plastic zone size, lowers the stresses but significantly elevates the plastic strain levels near the notch tip. Higher internal friction reduces the peak tangential stress but increases the plastic strain and stretching near the blunted part of the notch. The simulated shear bands are straight and extend over a long distance ahead of the notch tip under mode II dominant loading. The possible variations of fracture toughness with mode mixity corresponding to failure by brittle micro-cracking and ductile shear banding are predicted employing two simple fracture criteria. The salient results from finite element simulations are validated by comparison with those from mixed mode (I and II) fracture experiments on a Zr-based bulk metallic glass.

基于形状改变能为材料起裂扩展控制参量的物理事实及裂纹尖端断裂控制区能量平均概念,提出了计及裂纹尖端应力场特征级数展开奇异项和常数项的广义平均形状改变能密度(GADSED)准则,建立了I-II-III 混合型裂纹断裂判据计算式,为工程结构疲劳断裂评估提供了新选择．基于提出的GADSED 准则,系统分析了T应力对裂纹断裂判据的影响,结果表明：当参数|Ba|数值相同时：负值T应力的I-II 混合型裂纹更易起裂扩展,正值T应力的KΙf值高于负值T应力的KΙf值,正负T应力的KIIf值相同;T应力在区间0 < Bα < 0.45 时增大了KΙf值（3 %以内）,T应力降低了KIIf值．根据GADSED 准则完成了双轴疲劳载荷平板表面I 型裂纹扩展寿命预报,结果表明：基于GADSED 准则的裂纹扩展寿命预报值约为传统方法预报值的40.7 %,可为工程实际评估提供借鉴．     

Fracture analysis of U-notched disc-type graphite specimens under mixed mode loading

Fracture phenomenon was investigated both experimentally and theoretically for a type of coarse-grained polycrystalline graphite weakened by a U-shaped notch under mixed mode loading. First, 36 disc-type graphite specimens containing a central U-notch, so called in literature as the U-notched Brazilian disc (UNBD), were prepared for four different notch tip radii and the fracture tests were performed under mode I and mixed mode I/II loading conditions. Then, the experimentally obtained fracture loads and the fracture initiation angles were predicted by using the U-notched maximum tangential stress (UMTS) and the newly formulated U-notched mean stress (UMS) fracture criteria. Both the criteria were developed in the form of the fracture curves and the curves of fracture initiation angle, in terms of the notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs). The results showed that while the criteria could predict successfully the experimental notch fracture toughness values, the UMS criterion provides slightly better predictions than the UMTS criterion, particularly for shear-dominant deformations. Also, found in this research was that the curves of fracture initiation angle were almost identical for the two criteria which both could predict well the experimental results.
