Influence of loading frequency on the fatigue behaviour of coir fibre reinforced PP composite

The influence of loading frequency on the fatigue behaviour of a coir fibre reinforced polypropylene (PP) composite was studied. The mechanical behaviour was assessed through monotonic tensile and flexural tests, followed by cyclic bending fatigue tests employing a new specimen geometry, with loading frequencies ranging from 5 to 35 Hz. Results revealed that higher strain rates during monotonic loading lead to higher flexural strength, and higher loading frequencies in cyclic tests promote reduction in fatigue life. Fractographic examination showed that one of the reasons for reduced fatigue life under higher loading frequencies might be related to increased heat generation by hysteresis, leading to a fatigue damage mechanism governed by temperature effects. The results, thus, encourage the development of good practices regarding test frequencies in order to be able to uncouple thermal and mechanical effects and provide relevant data for structural integrity assessments.     

Determination of reliable fatigue life predictors for magnetorheological elastomers under dynamic equi-biaxial loading

Fatigue life prediction is of great significance in ensuring magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) based rubber components exhibit reliability and do not compromise safety under complex loading, and this necessitates the development of plausible fatigue life predictors for MREs. In this research, silicone rubber based MREs were fabricated by incorporating soft carbonyl iron magnetic particles. Equi-biaxial fatigue behaviour of the fabricated MREs was investigated by using the bubble inflation method. The relationship between fatigue life and maximum engineering stress, maximum strain and strain energy density were studied. The results showed that maximum engineering stress and stored energy density can be used as reliable fatigue life predictors for SR based MREs when they are subjected to dynamic equi-biaxial loading. General equations based on maximum engineering stress and strain energy density were developed for fatigue life prediction of MREs.

A statistical approach to characterize the viscoelastic creep compliances of a vinyl ester polymer

The objective of this study was to develop a model to predict the viscoelastic material functions of a vinyl ester (VE) polymer with variations in its experimentally obtained material properties under combined isothermal and mechanical loading. Short-term tensile creep experiments were conducted at three temperatures below the glass transition temperature of the VE polymer, with 10 replicates for each test configuration. The measured creep strain versus time responses were used to determine the creep compliances using the generalized viscoelastic constitutive equation with a Prony series representation. The variation in the creep compliances of a VE polymer was described by formulating the probability density functions (PDFs) and the corresponding cumulative distribution functions (CDFs) of the creep compliances using a two-parameter Weibull distribution. Both Weibull scale and shape parameters of the creep compliance distributions were shown to be time and temperature dependent. Two-dimensional quadratic Lagrange interpolation functions were used to characterize the Weibull parameters to obtain the PDFs and, subsequently, the CDFs of the creep compliances for the complete design temperature range during steady state creep. At each test temperature, creep compliance curves were obtained for constant CDF values and compared with the experimental data. The predicted creep compliances of the selected VE polymer in the design space are in good agreement with the experimental data for all three test temperatures.     

Mechanical Properties and Failure Mechanisms of Graphene under a Central Load

By employing molecular dynamics simulations, the evolution of deformation of a monolayer graphene sheet under a central transverse loading are investigated. Dependence of mechanical responses on the symmetry (shape) of the loading domain, on the size of the graphene sheet, and on temperature, is determined. It is found that the symmetry of the loading domain plays a central role in fracture strength and strain. By increasing the size of the graphene sheet or increasing temperature, the tensile strength and fracture strain decrease. The results have demonstrated that the breaking force and breaking displacement are sensitive to both temperature and the symmetry of the loading domain. In addition, we find that the intrinsic strength of graphene under a central load is much smaller than that of graphene under a uniaxial load. By examining the deformation processes, two failure mechanisms are identified namely, brittle bond breaking and plastic relaxation. In the second mechanism, the Stone–Wales transformation occurs.     

The influence of physical aging on the creep rupture behavior of polystyrene

The effects of postannealing aging time on the brittle fracture behavior of polystyrene were studied. A combination of mechanical properties, including creep and creep rupture under constant load and the behavior under constant extension rate deformation were examined for polystyrene samples of different prior aging times (from 1h to 2 months). The specimens and fracture surfaces were examined by optical microscopy and SEM to observe any change in the fracture behavior. It was found that longer aging times caused not only a change in the time-dependent modulus of the material but also a significant decrease in the creep rupture life and a decrease in strain to failure. It was found that the reasons for this are that although aging delays craze formation, craze breakdown and ultimate failure are accelerated by aging. The importance of these findings are discussed, particularly in relation to failure criteria involving the use of critical strains. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.     

Evolution of the dynamic fatigue failure of the adhesion between rubber and polymer cords

The evolution of the dynamic fatigue of the adhesion in a tire carcass compound reinforced by polymer cords under cyclic loading was investigated using a self-developed fatigue test. The characteristic curves are used to explain the evolution of the fatigue failure of the adhesion between rubber and polymer cords. Three stages are identified during the evolution of the dynamic fatigue. Under stress-controlled mode by MTS-ETS (Mechanical Testing&Simulation–Elastomer Testing System), an equation to forecast the adhesion life of rubber/polymer cords composites has been developed. Under strain-controlled mode by MTS, a strain threshold value (87.8%) separating the evolution into two parts was identified. The effects of frequency on the adhesion were also investigated and suggest that, within the experimental range, regardless of the frequency, the adhesion life at a given stress amplitude is constant.

Accelerated ratcheting testing of polycarbonate using the time-temperature-stress equivalence method

The long-term performance of polymers under cyclic loading is important for safety assessments in engineering applications. The deformation process under the cyclic loading can be accelerated through use of temperature and stress. As for asymmetric cyclic loading, so called ratcheting, a time-temperature-stress (TTS) equivalence method in which all the parameters have clear physical meanings and can be determined experimentally, was proposed to predict the long-term cyclic loading behavior for polycarbonate using short-term data. Taking into consideration the effects of both the mean stress and the stress amplitude, the ratcheting compliance was defined and its evolution function was also provided. Next, the TTS equivalence method was validated using the long-term ratcheting test results for the polycarbonate. Time, temperature, and stress do show equivalent effects on long-term ratcheting of polycarbonate. Using the proposed method, time and cost can be dramatically saved for the assessment of the long-term cyclic loading performance of polycarbonate.
