Analysis of an adhesively bonded single-strap joint integrated with shape memory alloy (SMA) reinforced layers

Shape memory alloys (SMAs) are increasingly becoming a topic of research in the area of smart materials. In this study, the design and analysis of a SMA reinforced joint is presented to elucidate the contribution of the active composite layer to the reduction of stress concentrations in the adhesive layer. Basic thermo-mechanical properties of the SMA are obtained by micromechanics. The forces and moments at the joint edges are obtained by incorporating the thermo-mechanical effect of the active composite layer within the joint. Further, an analytic model based on the first-order shear deformation theory was employed to conduct stress analyses of this joint system. The state-space method was utilized to obtain the final analytic solutions, including the peel and shear stresses in the adhesive layer. Detailed numerical analyses are conducted. The results confirm that the active composite layer significantly reduces stress concentrations at the joint edges.     

A double inclusion model for microcrack arrest in fibre reinforced brittle materials

A model for the prediction of microcrack growth in a fibre reinforced brittle matrix composite material is suggested. The model is based on composite material theory and linear elastic fracture mechanics. The microcracks in question are so-called large microcracks, i.e. microcracks which are bridged by the reinforcing fibres. The crack bridging fibres are “smeared” out to form a homogeneous medium. This homogeneous medium constitutes together with the matrix crack an ellipsoidal so-called “double inclusion.” Matrix cracking as well as interfacial debonding can be analysed and this analysis can be synthesized and interpreted as a determination of the strength of the reinforced matrix. The model is compared with some experimental results, and good agreement is found. The model can serve as a tool for the design of brittle matrix composite materials because it identifies the significance of fibre geometry, volume fraction of fibres, and adhesion between fibres and matrix.

Study on interface failure of shape memory alloy （SMA） reinforced smart structure with damages

Shape memory alloy (SMA) reinforced smart structure can be used to make structural shape and strength self-adapted and structural damage self-restrained. Although SMA smart structures without damages were extensively studied, researches on SMA smart structures with damages have rarely been reported thus far. In this paper, thermo-mechanical behaviors of SMA fiber reinforced smart structures with damages are analyzed through a shear lag model and the variational principle. Mathematical expressions of the meso-displacement field and the stress-strain field of a typical element with damages are obtained, and a failure criterion for interface failure between SMA fibers and matrix is established, which is applied to an example. Results presented herein may provide a theoretical foundation for further studies on integrity of SMA smart structures.The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10072026, 50135030) and Aeronautical Science Foundation of China (01G52041)The English text was polished by Keren Wang.     

Toughness increment by crack growth in toughened structural materials

Material toughening could be furnished by the energy dissipating wakes and bridging segments during crack growth. According to their contributions to the energy integral applicable to a growing crack, the toughening mechanisms are categorized as: dilatational plasticity and induced shear yielding in the crack wakes, bridging due to second inclusion phases, and the matrix bridging caused by wavy crack front. Detailed toughening analysis is pursued for structural polymers and composite materials reinforced by short aligned fibers.

ANTI-PLANE ANALYSIS FOR ELLIPTICAL INCLUSION IN MAGNETOELECTROELASTIC MATERIALS

This paper considers the multi-field coupling in magneroelectroelastic composite materials consisting of the inclusion and the matrix are magnetoelectroelastic materials. The mechanical,electric and magnetic fields around an elliptical cylinder inclusion are formulated by complex potentials. Inside the inclusion,the strain,electric and magnetic fields are found to be uniform and vary with the shape of the ellipse. When the inclusion is reduced to a crack,along the interface,the strain,electric field strength and magnetic field strength equal the corresponding remote ones,which can be used as the boundary condition. Special cases,such as a rigid and permeable inclusion,a soft and impermeable inclusion,a line inclusion and a crack problem are discussed in detail.     

MESO-MECHANICAL ANALYSIS OF SHAPE MEMORY ALLOY REINFORCED SMART STRUCTURE WITH DAMAGE

The mechanical behaviors of shape memory alloy (SMA) wires reinforced smart structure with damage were analyzed through the variational principle, a governing equation for the structure was derived, mathematical expressions for the meso-displacement field, stress-strain field of typical element with damage were presented, and a failure criterion for interface failure between SMA wires and matrix was established under two kinds of actuation which are dead-load and temperature, where the temperature is included in effective free restoring strain. In addition, there are some other composing factors in the failure criterion such as the interface properties, dynamical properties of SMA, initial debonding length L-l etc. The results are significant to understand structural strength self-adapted control and failure mechanism of SMA wires reinforced smart structure with damage.     

Micro-mechanical behaviors of SMA composite materials under hygro-thermo-elastic strain fields

An analytical procedure to evaluate the behavior of shape memory alloy (SMA) composite under hygrothermal environment is presented. The SMA wires are considered as inclusions embedded in a homogeneous matrix medium of the composite. The inhomogeneity associated with the phase transformation and thermal strains in the SMA wire as well as the hygrothermal strain in the matrix is homogenized using Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method. In the present work, a similar approach adopted for SMA composites by Marfia and Sacco [Marfia, S., Sacco, E., 2005. Micromechanics and homogenisation of SMA-wire-reinforced materials. J. Appl. Mech. 72 (2), 259–268.] is considered in order to validate the response of SMA composite subjected to thermo-elastic strain field. However, in the present approach, certain modifications and new derivations for the inelastic strain tensors is carried out. First, the constitutive laws for the SMA wire and matrix are expressed in terms of the average strain in the composite. The evolutionary equations used to characterize the pseudoelastic (PE) behavior of the SMA wire are redefined in terms of the eigen strains (phase transformation and thermal strains) occurring in the SMA wire, which are then expressed in terms of the average strain in the composite. Further, the SMA composite constitutive law under coupled hygro-thermo-elastic strain fields is proposed. The generic homogenized hygric and thermal inelastic composite tensors required for the proposed hygro-thermo-elastic constitutive law are derived. Finally, the SMA composite lamina is characterized using Eshelby’s equivalent inclusion method. Using the proposed modifications and derivations, the analytical results are validated for the case of thermo-elastic strain fields and the procedure is then extended to evaluate the SMA composite behavior under hygro-thermo-elastic strain fields. The results include the effect of thermo-elastic and hygro-thermo-elastic strains on the transformation stresses and the nature of hysteresis due to hygric and thermo-elastic strains.

The effective thermoelectroelastic properties of microinhomogeneous materials

The paper is concerned with composite materials which consist of a homogeneous matrix phase with a set of inclusions uniformly distributed in the matrix. The components of these materials are considered to be ideally elastic and exhibit piezoelectric properties. One of the variants of the self-consistent scheme, the Effective Field Method (EFM) is applied to calculate effective dielectric, piezoelectric and thermoelastic properties of such materials, taking into account the coupled electroelastic effects. At first the coupled thermoelectroelastic problem for a homogeneous medium with an isolated inclusion is solved. For an ellipsoidal inclusion and constant external field the solution of this problem is found in a closed analytic form. This solution is then used in the EFM to derive the effective thermoelectroelastic operator for the composite containing a random array of ellipsoidal inclusions. Explicit formulae for the electrothermoelastic constants are given for composites, reinforced by spheroidal inclusions.     

Asymptotic homogenization modeling of smart composite generally orthotropic grid-reinforced shells: Part II– Applications

A comprehensive micromechanical model for the analysis of thin smart composite grid-reinforced shells with an embedded periodic grid of generally orthotropic cylindrical reinforcements that may also exhibit piezoelectric properties is developed and applied to examples of practical importance. Details on derivation of a general homogenized smart shell model are provided in Part I of this work. The present paper solves the obtained unit cell problems and develops expressions for the effective elastic, piezoelectric and thermal expansion coefficients for the grid reinforced smart composite shell. Thus obtained effective coefficients are universal in nature and can be used to study a wide variety of boundary value problems. The applicability of the model is illustrated by means of several examples including cylindrical reinforced smart composite shells, and multi-layer smart shells. The derived expressions allow tailoring the effective properties of a smart grid-reinforced shell to meet the requirements of a particular application by changing certain geometric or physical parameters.

A Zener–Stroh crack interacting with a coated inclusion with generalized Irwin plastic zone correction

The elastic–plastic fracture behavior of a Zener–Stroh crack interacting with a coated inclusion in composite materials has been investigated with crack tip plastic zone corrections. With the distributed dislocation method, the crack problem is formulated into a set of singular integral equations which are solved numerically. The plastic zone sizes at the both crack tips are determined by a generalized Irwin model where Von Mises stress yielding criterion is used. The stress intensity factor (SIF), the plastic zone size (PZS), the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) and the effective stress intensity factor have been evaluated. In the numerical examples, the influence of the inclusion shear modulus, the coating-layer thickness and shear modulus, as well as the distance between the crack and inclusion, on the SIF, the PZS and the CTOD are discussed in detail. Numerical examples show that increasing the shear modulus or the thickness of the coating phase, the influence of the inclusion on the normalized SIF and the normalized PZS will be shielded.     

On a micromechanical fracture model for cracked reinforced composites

Asymptotic homogenization modeling of smart composite generally orthotropic grid-reinforced shells: Part I – theory

We develop in this paper a comprehensive micromechanical model for the analysis of thin smart composite grid-reinforced shells with an embedded periodic grid of generally orthotropic cylindrical reinforcements that may also exhibit piezoelectric properties. The original boundary value problem which characterizes the thermopiezoelastic behavior of the smart shell is decoupled via the asymptotic homogenization technique into three simpler problems the solution of which permits the determination of the effective elastic, piezoelectric and thermal expansion coefficients. The general orthotropy of the constituent materials is very important from the practical viewpoint and it renders the resulting analysis a lot more complicated. In Part II of this work the model is applied to the analysis of several practically important examples including cylindrical reinforced smart composite shells and multi-layer smart shells.
