Simulation of damage evolution in ductile metals undergoing dynamic loading conditions

A set of constitutive equations for large rate-dependent elastic-plastic-damage materials at elevated temperatures is presented to be able to analyze adiabatic high strain rate deformation processes for a wide range of stress triaxialities. The model is based on the concepts of continuum damage mechanics. Since the material macroscopic thermo-mechanical response under large strain and high strain rate deformation loading is governed by different physical mechanisms, a multi-dissipative approach is proposed. It incorporates thermo-mechanical coupling effects as well as internal dissipative mechanisms through rate-dependent constitutive relations with a set of internal variables. In addition, the effect of stress triaxiality on the onset and evolution of plastic flow, damage and failure is discussed.Furthermore, the algorithm for numerical integration of the coupled constitutive rate equations is presented. It relies on operator split methodology resulting in an inelastic predictor-elastic corrector technique. The explicit finite element program LS-DYNA augmented by an user-defined material subroutine is used to approximate boundary-value problems under dynamic loading conditions. Numerical simulations of dynamic experiments with different specimens are performed and good correlation of numerical results and published experimental data is achieved. Based on numerical studies modified specimens geometries are proposed to be able to detect complex damage and failure mechanisms in Hopkinson-Bar experiments.     

63Sn-37Pb钎料合金在非比例循环加载下的非弹性流动特性研究

基于63Sn-37Pb钎料舍金在多种非比例应变循环加载下的实验结果,通过考察材料的非弹性应变率与偏应力之间的夹角随累积非弹性应变的变化规律,对63Sn-37Pb钎料合金的非弹性流动特性进行了定量分析。分析结果显示：在相同的非比例加载路径下,当加载等效应变幅值相同时,等效应变率越高,非弹性应变率与偏应力之间夹角平均水平越低,当等效应变率相同时,等效应变幅值越大,相应的夹角平均水平越低;在保持时间范围内,非弹性应变率方向与偏应力方向趋于一致;当非比例路径形状不同时,其非弹性应变率与偏应力之间的夹角随累积非弹性应变的变化趋势明显不同。研究表明,材料的非弹性流动特性强烈依赖于等效应变幅值、等效应变率、保持时间、非比例路径形状。

Mechanical response of three semi crystalline polymers under different stress states: Experimental investigation and modelling

The mechanical responses of high‐density polyethylene (HDPE), polypropylene (PP) and polyamide 6 (PA 6) were experimentally investigated for a wide range of stress states and strain rates. This was accomplished by testing numerous specimens with different geometries. The uniaxial compression of cylindrical unnotched specimens and the uniaxial tensile behaviour of dumbbell specimens at different strain rates, was determined. A series of biaxial loading tests (combined shear and tension/compression, pure shear, pure tension/compression) using a designed Arcan testing apparatus were also performed. Flat and cylindrical notched specimens with different curvature radii were additionally tested in order to explore a wider range of stress states. The Drucker‐Prager yield criterion was calibrated with a set of experimental data, for which analytical formulae for stresses are available, and then applied to predict the deformation behaviour under different stress states, prior to strain localization. The results of the numerical simulations show that the Drucker‐Prager model can capture the initial elastic range and the post‐elastic response very satisfactorily. For triaxial and biaxial stress states there is a good agreement, however some load‐displacement responses are only satisfactorily described. Deviations observed in the predicted and experimental results are very likely attributed to the third invariant stress tensor, which was not explored in the model calibration. The evolution of stress triaxiality and Lode angle parameters with equivalent plastic strain were extracted and analysed for several specimens. The results show a plastic yielding behaviour sensitive to the stress state, which can be attributed to different combinations of stress triaxialities and Lode angle parameters.     

Centrifugal experimental study of suction bucket foundations under dynamic loading

Centrifugal experiments were carried out to investigate the responses of suction bucket foundations under horizontal and vertical dynamic loading. It is shown that when the loading amplitude is over a critical value, the sand at the upper part around the bucket is softened or even liquefied. The excess pore pressure decreases from the upper part to the lower part of the sand layer in the vertical direction and decreases radially from the bucket’s side wall in the horizontal direction. Large settlements of the bucket and the sand layer around the bucket are induced by dynamic loading. The dynamic responses of the bucket with smaller height (the same diameter) are heavier.

Mechanics of contact and adhesion between viscoelastic spheres: An analysis of hysteresis during loading and unloading

Detailed finite element simulations are carried out to study the adhesive contact of viscoelastic spheres. The spheres are brought into contact by a compressive force that increases at a constant rate. Upon reaching a maximum load, the spheres are unloaded until they separate. We studied in detail the effect of loading and unloading rates on hysteresis and on the pull‐off force for a standard viscoelastic solid. The surface interaction is modeled by the Dugdale–Barenblatt model. Numerical results are compared with analytical models for bonding and debonding, including a recent theory proposed by Johnson. There is excellent agreement between analytical and finite element results for the bonding phase. However, for the debonding phase, current analytical models break down unless the loading and unloading rates are slow in comparison with the material relaxation time. Based on the finite element results, a simple approximate analytical model is proposed to quantify adhesive contact in the debonding phase. We also examine the dependence of hysteresis on interfacial parameters such as the cohesive strength and the intrinsic work of adhesion. Our results show that viscoelastic adhesive contact depends on the details of the surface interaction and cannot be determined solely by the work of adhesion. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
