Fracture toughness assessment of polypropylene random copolymer with multiple stress modes using the essential work of fracture theory

In recent years, the essential work of fracture (EWF) method has been extensively employed for assessing a material's toughness by specific essential fracture work, especially for polymers showing ductile failure. However, most research has studied either the in-plane stress mode or the out-of-plane stress mode. To obtain a more in-depth understanding of the EWF theory, the specific essential and non-essential fracture work of polypropylene random copolymer (PP-R) was investigated in both in-plane stress mode and out-of-plane stress mode. The effects of ligament length, amount of pre-cracking and pre-cracking method on the specific essential and non-essential fracture work were explored. The specific essential fracture work obtained in both stress modes is compared and discussed.     

涉及肌肉作用影响的髓内钉屈曲分析

在骨折的修复过程中，常发生髓内钉断骨内的情况。其主要原因是涉及肌肉影响后，髓内钉不是单钝的受压杆件，而是多种组合变形的屈曲问题。文中利用有限元法对目前较新结构的髓内钉在骨折治疗中涉及肌肉作用影响进行多方面的压、弯曲与扭转组合变形屈曲分析。得出了三叶瓣型髓内钉在涉及肌肉影响时的屈曲临界压力比单纯受压时髓内钉的屈曲临界压力小51％。并得出髓内钉只能额外承受15Nm左右的外来扭力。这些结果可供髓内钉进一步发展及临床应用参考。通过有限元的分析还可以对髓内钉受力状态的薄弱环节有一个全面的认识，为髓内钉合理设计、材料的选择等进行优化设计提供依据。     

A centrally cracked thin circular disk, Part I: 3D Elastic–plastic finite element analysis

A full field solution, based on small deformation, three-dimensional elastic–plastic finite element analysis of the centrally cracked thin disk under mode I loading has been performed. The solution for the stresses under small-scale yielding and lo!cally fully plastic state has been compared with the HRR plane stress solution. At the outside of the 3D zone, within a distance of rσ_o/J=18, HRR dominance is maintained in the presence of a significant amount of compressive stress along the crack flanks. Ahead of this region, the HRR field overestimate the stresses. These results demonstrate a completely reversed state of stress in the near crack front compared to that in the plane strain case. The combined effect of geometry and finite thickness of the specimen on elastic–plastic crack tip stress field has been explored. To the best of our knowledge, such an attempt in the published literature has not been made yet. For the qualitative assessment of the results some of the field parameters have been compared to the available experimental results of K, gives a fair estimate of the crack opening stress near the crack front at a distance of order 10⁻² in. On the basis of this analysis, the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics approach has been adopted in analyzing the fatigue crack extension experiments performed in the disk (Part II).

基于概率断裂力学理论和Mome Caflo模拟方法，本文进行了自紧身管临界裂纹尺寸的可靠性研究。自紧身管内表面的疲劳裂纹考虑为半椭圆形式。裂纹尖端处的应力强度因子由内压和自紧残余应力共同产生。自紧残余应力采用了符合身管材料具有强化和包辛格效应性能推导的公式计算，它产生的应力强度因子通过权函数方法得到。根据断裂准则，可计算出自紧身管的临界裂纹尺寸。实例分析表明，对数正态分布为临界裂纹尺寸的最佳分布，同时给出了在各种置信度和可靠度下自紧身管的临界裂纹尺寸。

Prediction of Quasi-Brittle Fracture of Concrete and Rock Structures Using Laboratory-Sized Specimens

A simple method is developed for predicting the fracture behaviour of struetures made of quasi-brittle materials sueh as eonerete and roek using the data from laboratory-sized speeimens. The method is based on the reeently-developed boundary effeet concept and associated asymptotic model. It is demonstrated that the ＂apparent＂ size dependence of fraeture behaviour of concrete and rock is in fact due to the influence of specimen boundaries. Various size effect phenomena that are often observed in fracture meehanies tests of eoncrete and roek are related to each other, and the asymptotie boundary effect model can explain all the observed ＂size＂ effeet phenomena. Four types of experimental results available in the literature （ineluding the data measured on （1） the speeimens of identical size with different crack-to-size （α） ratios, （2） specimens of different sizes with different a-ratios, （3） different types of specimens and （4） geometrieally similar speeimens） are used to verify the asymptotic boundary effect model, and it is found that the predictions of the model agree very well with the experimental results. Furthermore, the important fracture properties, fracture toughness KIC and strength f, of quasi-brittle materials sueh as eonerete and roek can also be calculated using the formulae provided in the model.
