Strain-rate intensity factor in compression of a layer of a plastic material between cylindrical surfaces

A model problem for a rigid perfectly/plastic material is obtained. Based on this solution, it is possible to estimate the influence of the friction surface curvature and one of the types of additional rotational motion of the friction surface on the strain-rate intensity factor. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 50, No. 3, pp. 171–180, May–June, 2009.     

The high strain-rate behaviour of three molecular weights of polyethylene examined with a magnesium alloy split-Hopkinson pressure bar

A traditional split-Hopkinson pressure bar system has been modified by the addition of ZK60A magnesium alloy pressure bars in order to increase the resolution of data when examining specimens of low-density, high-density and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene. It was found that the low density of the ZK60A allowed a decent increase in transmitted pulse amplitude, whilst its relatively high yield strength afforded long-term reliability of the system. The accuracy of data obtained from the fitted strain gauges was verified with the use of a high-speed video camera, and was found to be an excellent match.     

研究材料动态本构特性中的重要作用

在材料动态本构关系的研究中，不论是由波传播信息反求材料本构关系，即所谓解第二类反问题，还是利用应力波效应和应变率效应解耦的方法（如SHPB技术），应力波传播实际上都起着关键作用。在一般性讨论的基础上，就SHPB试验技术分析了应力波传播如何影响材料动态本构特性的有效确定。对于应力/应变沿试件长度均匀分布假定以及一维应力波假定，着重进行了分析。     

高应变率拉伸下纯铝中氦泡长大的动力学研究

 分析了高应变率加载下纯铝中氦泡长大的动力学过程，给出了含内压氦泡长大的动力学方程，并且分别研究了氦泡内压、基体材料惯性、粘性、表面张力以及基体环境温度对初始半径为1 nm氦泡长大的影响。研究结果表明：（1）初始内压可以促使氦泡快速长大，当氦泡直径超过1 μm时，内压对氦泡长大的影响可以忽略不计。（2）表面张力在氦泡整个长大过程中的影响都很小。（3）材料惯性对氦泡长大起抑制作用，并且随着氦泡半径的增长，抑制效应越来越明显。（4）在所有因素中，温度对氦泡长大的影响最为明显，温度升高，材料的粘性降低，氦泡的内压增加，促使氦泡加速长大。     

Slip-line modeling of machining with a rounded-edge tool—Part II: analysis of the size effect and the shear strain-rate

Part II of the present study quantitatively analyzes orthogonal metal cutting processes based on the new slip-line model proposed in Part I. The applicable range of the model is illustrated, followed by an explanation of the non-unique nature of the model. It is suggested that the tool edge roundness be comprehensively defined by four variables. Namely: tool edge radius, position of the stagnation point on the tool edge, tool-chip frictional shear stress above the stagnation point on the tool edge, and tool-chip frictional shear stress below the stagnation point on the tool edge. The effects of these four variables on eight groups of machining parameters are investigated. These include (1) cutting force, thrust force, resultant force, and the ratio of cutting force to thrust force; (2) ploughing force; (3) chip up-curl radius; (4) chip thickness; (5) tool-chip contact length; (6) thickness of the primary shear zone; (7) average shear strain in the primary shear zone; and (8) average shear strain-rate in the primary shear zone. The importance of tool edge roundness is further reinforced by a series of new research findings made in this paper. It is revealed that the size effect highly depends on the material constitutive behavior in machining. The dependence of the thickness of the primary shear zone and the dependence of the magnitude of shear strain-rate in the primary shear zone on the tool edge radius are well demonstrated. A surprisingly good agreement between theory and experiments is reached.     

The site model theory and the standard linear solid

Summary The site model theory (SMT) is shown to lead to the same deformation behaviour as that displayed by the standard linear solid (SLS), group I, for all loading conditions. If a second deformation mechanism (inter-molecular slip) is introduced the result is the same as that obtained with the standard linear solid, group II, and models the behaviour of a polymer melt near to the solidification temperature.

Zusammenfassung Es wird gezeigt, daß ein einfaches Platzwechsel-Modell (site model theory) bei allen Belastungsbedingungen das gleiche Deformationsverhalten voraussagt wie der lineare Drei-Parameter-Festkörper (standard linear solid, group I). Wenn ein weiterer Deformationsmechanismus (zwischenmolekulare Gleitung) eingeführt wird, entspricht das Verhalten dagegen demjenigen einer linearen Drei-Parameter-Flüssigkeit (standard linear solid, group II), welche das Verhalten einer Polymerschmelze in der Nähe der Schmelztemperatur beschreibt.

Study on dynamic constitutive relations for concrete with finite deformation

The differences between finite deformation and infinitesimal deformation are discussed. They are exercised on elasto-viscoplastic constitutive relations of concrete. Then, a rate-dependent mechanics model was presented on the basis of Ottosen‘ s fourparameter yield criterion, where different loading surface transferring laws were taken into account, when material was in hardening stage or in softening stage, respectively. The model is well established, so that it can be applied to simulate the response of concrete subject to impact loading. Green-Naghdi stress rate was introduced as objective stress rate. Appropriate hypothesis was postulated in accordance with many experimental results, which could reflect the mechanical behaviour of concrete with large deformation. Available thoughts as well as effective methods are also provided for the research on related engineering problems.

Modeling the viscoplastic micromechanical response of two-phase materials using Fast Fourier Transforms

A viscoplastic approach using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method for obtaining local mechanical response is utilized to study microstructure-property relationships in composite materials. Specifically, three-dimensional, two-phase digital materials containing isotropically coarsened particles surrounded by a matrix phase, generated through a Kinetic Monte Carlo Potts model for Ostwald ripening, are used as instantiations in order to calculate the stress and strain-rate fields under uniaxial tension. The effects of the morphology of the matrix phase, the volume fraction and the contiguity of particles, and the polycrystallinity of matrix phase, on the stress and strain-rate fields under uniaxial tension are examined. It is found that the first moments of the stress and strain-rate fields have a different dependence on the particle volume fraction and the particle contiguity from their second moments. The average stresses and average strain-rates of both phases and of the overall composite have rather simple relationships with the particle volume fraction whereas their standard deviations vary strongly, especially when the particle volume fraction is high, and the contiguity of particles has a noticeable effect on the mechanical response. It is also found that the shape of stress distribution in the BCC hard particle phase evolves as the volume fraction of particles in the composite varies, such that it agrees with the stress field in the BCC polycrystal as the volume of particles approaches unity. Finally, it is observed that the stress and strain-rate fields in the microstructures with a polycrystalline matrix are less sensitive to changes in volume fraction and contiguity of particles.
