Rate dependent finite strain constitutive model of polyurea

Continuous loading and unloading experiments are performed at different strain rates to characterize the large deformation behavior of polyurea under compressive loading. In addition, uniaxial compression tests are carried out with multistep strain history profiles. The analysis of the experimental data shows that the concept of equilibrium path may not be applied to polyurea. This finding implies that viscoelastic constitutive models of the Zener type are no suitable for the modeling of the rate dependent behavior of polyurea. A new constitutive model is developed based on a rheological model composed of two Maxwell elements. The soft rubbery response is represented by a Gent spring while nonlinear viscous evolution equations are proposed to describe the time-dependent material response. The eight material model parameters are identified for polyurea and used to predict the experimentally-measured stress-strain curves for various loading and unloading histories. The model provides a good prediction of the response under monotonic loading over wide range of strain rates, while it overestimates the stiffness during unloading. Furthermore, the model predictions of the material relaxation and viscous dissipation during a loading-unloading cycle agree well with the experiments.

Elastic Deformation of Materials under Distributed Shear Loading

In this work, the deformation of material under localised tangential loading has been investigated. An analytical expression to predict deformation and strain patterns under tangential loading over a rectangular patch on a surface is validated against experiential tests using surface displacement measurement and finite element modelling. The predicted force- displacement data and displacement/strain patterns show close agreement with experimental results a rubber test material and FE results. The ranges of specimen geometries that minimise the boundary effects have been determined.     

Law of damage accumulation and fracture criteria in highly filled polymer materials

We present the results of a large series of experiments aimed at the study of laws of damage accumulation and fracture in highly filled polymer materials under loading conditions of various types: monotone, repeated, low- and high-cycle, with varying type of stress state, dynamic (in general, more than 50 programs implemented on specimens from one lot of material). The data obtained in these test allow one to make conclusions about the constitutive role of the attained maximum of strain intensity when estimating the accumulated damage in the process of uniaxial tension by various programs (in particular, an additional cyclic deformation below the preliminary attained strain maximum does not affect the limit values of strain and stress in the subsequent active extension), about the strong influence of the stress state on the deformation and fracture, about the specific features of the nonlinear behavior of the material under the shock loading conditions and its influence on the repeated deformation. All tests are described (with an accuracy acceptable in practical calculations, both with respect to stresses and strains in the process of loading and at the moment of fracture) in the framework of the same model of nonlinear viscoelasticity with the same set of constants. The constants of the proposed model are calculated according to a relatively simple algorithm by using the results of standard uniaxial tension tests with constant values of the strain rate and hydrostatic pressure (each test for 2–3 levels of these parameters chosen from the ranges proposed in applications, each loading lasts until the fracture occurs, and one of the tests contains an intermediate interval of total loading and repeated loading) and one axial shock compression test if there are dynamic problems in the applications. The model is based on the use of the criterion fracture parameter which, in the class of proportional loading processes, is the sum of partial increments of the strain intensity on active segments of the process (where the strain intensity is at its historical maximum) with the form of the stress state and the intensity of strain rates taken into account.     

Small deformations superposed on large deformations of an elastic-plastic material

In the context of a purely mechanical rate-type theory of plasticity, and utilizing a strain space formulation, an infinitesimal theory is developed for motions superposed on any given motion of an elastic-plastic material. The given motion may involve all forms of elastic-plastic deformation, including both loading and unloading, and in addition, the loading conditions are allowed to change due to the superposed motion. The infinitesimal theory is properly invariant under arbitrary finite superposed rigid motions.     

Effect of rate and rate history on plastic deformation: Experiments and constitutive modelling

A series of uniaxial and biaxial cyclic tests with proportional or nonproportional loading path and with different strain-rate histories are conducted on thin-walled circular cylindrical specimens of type 304 stainless steel. The results of these tests show that once a material is stabilized under a lower strain rate, the stress-strain response is not appreciably affected by a jump to a higher strain rate. A rate-dependent constitutive model recently proposed by and [1991] has been extended to predict the above-mentioned strain-rate history effect. A comparison between the predictions of the extended model and the test results shows that most of the rate-dependent features of the material can be simulated by the model.     

Modeling the low-cycle fatigue behavior of visco-hyperelastic elastomeric materials using a new network alteration theory: Application to styrene-butadiene rubber

Although several theories were more or less recently proposed to describe the Mullins effect, i.e. the stress-softening after the first load, the nonlinear equilibrium and non-equilibrium material response as well as the continuous stress-softening during fatigue loading need to be included in the analysis to propose a reliable design of rubber structures. This contribution presents for the first time a network alteration theory, based on physical interpretations of the stress-softening phenomenon, to capture the time-dependent mechanical response of elastomeric materials under fatigue loading, and this until failure. A successful physically based visco-hyperelastic model is revisited by introducing an evolution law for the physical material parameters affected by the network alteration. The general form of the model can be basically represented by two parallel networks: a nonlinear equilibrium response and a time-dependent deviation from equilibrium, in which the network parameters become functions of the damage rate (defined as the ratio of the applied cycle over the applied cycle to failure). The mechanical behavior of styrene-butadiene rubber was experimentally investigated, and the main features of the constitutive response under fatigue loading are highlighted. The experimental results demonstrate that the evolution of the normalized maximum stress only depends on the damage rate endured by the material during the fatigue loading history. The average chain length and the average chain density are then taken as functions of the damage rate in the proposed network alteration theory. The new model is found to adequately capture the important features of the observed stress-strain curves under loading-unloading for a large spectrum of strain and damage levels. The model capabilities to predict variable amplitude tests are critically discussed by comparisons with experiments.     

摩擦材料在无围压和加围压条件下的形变比较

研究铜基粉末冶金摩擦材料在无围压和加围压条件下的动态力学特性及其形变特征。试验在Hopkinson压杆上完成,通过试验发现,材料在无围压、应变率低于1000-1s时,有应变率强化效应;在更高应变率下,材料有损伤软化效应。微观分析可以看到试件上大量的平行滑移裂纹导致了材料破坏,形变是滑移伴随少量的孪晶;裂缝中有大量的碳纤维组织,这些纤维状组织对裂纹的扩展起抑制作用。而材料在加围压下的性能得到了很大的改善,同一应变率下最大应力、屈服极限和动态杨氏模量均有提高。在高应变率时,无论是加围压还是无围压,破碎的硬质颗粒都是长条状的。由此得出推论,球状、细化的硬质颗粒,可提高基体的强度。

Modelling of compressive behaviour of concrete-like materials at high strain rate

Uniaxial compression tests are the most common tests for characterizing the strength of concrete-like materials. The dynamic compression strength of concrete-like material is typically obtained by Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) tests. The increase in material strength under dynamic loading is usually attributed to the strain rate effect and modelled with a dynamic increase factor (DIF). However, it was observed by some researchers that the radial inertial confinement caused apparent increase of dynamic strength of concrete-like specimen in SHPB tests. They attributed the material strength increase to this inertial effect, instead of the strain rate effect. In the present study, numerical analyses are performed to investigate the compressive behaviour of concrete-like material at high strain rates. A homogeneous macroscale model and a heterogeneous mesoscale model are developed in the study. In the macroscale model, the material is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic. In the mesoscale model, the test sample is modelled as a three-phase composite consisting of aggregate, mortar matrix and interfacial transaction zone (ITZ) between the aggregate and the mortar matrix. The aggregate is assumed to be circular and the ITZ is modelled as a thin boundary around the aggregate. In the both models, the materials are assumed to be insensitive to the strain rate first. Therefore, the obtained strength enhancement is only due to the inertial confinement. Strain rate sensitive material properties are then used in the two models in the calculations. Numerical simulations of the concrete samples under compression at different strain rates are carried out. The relative contribution of the inertial effect and the strain rate effect on the compressive strength DIF is examined based on the numerical results. The failure process of concrete specimen is also studied.     

Constitutive modeling of ice in the high strain rate regime

The objective of the present work is to propose a constitutive model for ice by considering the influence of important parameters such as strain rate dependence and pressure sensitivity on the response of the material. In this regard, the constitutive model proposed by Carney et al. (2006) is considered as a starting basis and subsequently modified to incorporate the effect of brittle cracking within a continuum damage mechanics framework. The damage is taken to occur in the form of distributed cracking within the material during impact which is consistent with experimental observations. At the point of failure, the material is assumed to be fluid-like with deviatoric stress almost dropping down to zero. The constitutive model is implemented in a general purpose finite element code using an explicit formulation. Several single element tests under uniaxial tension and compression, as well as biaxial loading are conducted in order to understand the performance of the model. Few large size simulations are also performed to understand the capability of the model to predict brittle damage evolution in un-notched and notched three point bend specimens. The proposed model predicts lower strength under tensile loading as compared to compressive loading which is in tune with experimental observations. Further the model also asserts the strain rate dependency of the strength behavior under both compressive as well as tensile loading, which also corroborates well with experimental results.

Advances in experiments on metal sheets and tubes in support of constitutive modeling and forming simulations

This work is a review of experimental methods for observing and modeling the anisotropic plastic behavior of metal sheets and tubes under a variety of loading paths, such as biaxial compression tests; biaxial tension tests on metal sheets and tubes using closed-loop electrohydraulic testing machines; the abrupt strain path change method for detecting a yield vertex and subsequent yield loci without unloading; in-plane stress reversal tests on metal sheets; and multistage tension tests. Observed material responses are compared with the predictions of phenomenological plasticity models. Special attention is paid to the plastic deformation behavior of materials commonly used in industry, and to verifying the validity of conventional anisotropic yield criteria for those materials and associated flow rules at large plastic strains. The effects of using appropriate anisotropic yield criteria on the accuracy of simulations of forming defects, such as large springback and fracture, are also presented to highlight the importance of accurate material testing and modeling.     

Inelastic behavior of an AS4/PEEK composite under combined transverse compression and shear. Part I: experiments

The nonlinear behavior in shear and transverse compression of unidirectional AS4/PEEK and their interaction are investigated experimentally. The composite is rate dependent even at room temperature and its rate exponent is similar to that of neat PEEK. The material is tested under pure shear, pure compression and under biaxial loading histories. The biaxial tests are performed in a custom facility on thin strips of the material. The facility allows freedom to choose the loading path in the biaxial stress and strain spaces of interest. Tests are performed for three biaxial loading paths. In the first, the specimen is sheared then compressed while the shear stress is held constant; in the second, the specimen is compressed then sheared while the compressive stress is held constant; and in the third, the specimen is loaded simultaneously by proportional amounts of compression and shear. It was found that the induced deformation is influenced significantly by the loading history followed. Also, initial loading in shear or compression has only a modest effect on subsequent loading of the other type. An unorthodox yielding behavior for the composite results from this lack of interaction. Finally, the stresses at failure are found to trace an elliptical path in the shear–transverse compression plane, but the failure stress state is not significantly affected by the loading path followed.     

Ratchetting of viscoplastic material with cyclic softening,part 1: experiments on modified 9Cr–1Mo steel

Uniaxial and multiaxial ratchetting tests were conducted at temperatures between 200 and 600 °C on modified 9Cr–1Mo steel, which exhibits both viscoplastic and cyclic softening behavior. Anomalous behavior was observed in the stress-controlled uniaxial ratchetting tests; the material exhibited outstanding ratchetting in the tensile direction under zero mean stress. Under the uniaxial conditions, the ratchetting deformation significantly depended on the loading rate and hold time in addition to parameters such as the maximum stress and stress ratio. The uniaxial ratchetting was also accelerated to a great extent when cyclic deformation was given before the ratchetting tests. Under the multiaxial conditions, the ratchetting depended on the steady stress, cyclic strain range and strain rate. The ratchetting progressed faster as the steady stress or strain range became larger, or the strain rate became smaller, as expected. Monotonic compression tests were carried out to investigate the reason for the rachetting under no mean stress. Strain range change tests were also conducted to investigate the effect of strain range on the cyclic softening behavior of the material in detail.

Size-effects on yield surfaces for micro reinforced composites

Size effects in heterogeneous materials are studied using a rate independent higher order strain gradient plasticity theory, where strain gradient effects are incorporated in the free energy of the material. Numerical studies are carried out using a finite element method, where the components of the plastic strain tensor appear as free variables in addition to the displacement variables. Non-conventional boundary conditions are applied at material interfaces to model a constraint on plastic flow due to dislocation blocking. Unit cell calculations are carried out under generalized plane strain conditions. The homogenized response of a material with cylindrical reinforcing fibers is analyzed for different values of the internal material length scale and homogenized yield surfaces are presented. While the main focus is on initial yield surfaces, subsequent yield surfaces are also presented. The center of the yield surface is tracked under uniaxial loading both in the transverse and longitudinal directions and an anisotropic Bauschinger effect is shown to depend on the size of the fibers. Results are compared to conventional predictions, and size-effects on the kinematic hardening are accentuated.     

PLASTIC BEHAVIOR AND CONSTITUTIVE MODELING OF ARMOR STEEL OVER WIDE TEMPERATURE AND STRAIN RATE RANGES

Plastic behavior of 603 armor steel is studied at strain rates ranging from 0.001 s-1 to 4500 s-1 , and temperature from 288 K to 873 K. Emphasis is placed on the effects of temperature, strain rate, and plastic strain on flow stress. Based on experimental results, the JC and the KHL models are used to simulate flow stress of this material. By comparing the model prediction and the experimental results of strain rate jump tests, the KHL model is shown to have a better prediction of plastic behavior under complex loading conditions for this material, especially in the dynamic region.     

Continuous, large strain, tension/compression testing of sheet material

Modeling sheet metal forming operations requires understanding of the plastic behavior of sheet alloys along non-proportional strain paths. Measurement of hardening under reversed uniaxial loading is of particular interest because of its simplicity of interpretation and its application to material elements drawn over a die radius. However, the compressive strain range attainable with conventional tests of this type is severely limited by buckling. A new method has been developed and optimized employing a simple device, a special specimen geometry, and corrections for friction and off-axis loading. Continuous strain reversal tests have been carried out to compressive strains greater than 0.20 following the guidelines provided for optimizing the test. The breadth of application of the technique has been demonstrated by preliminary tests to reveal the nature of the Bauschinger effect, room-temperature creep, and anelasticity after strain reversals in commercial sheet alloys.
