Photoelastic Investigation of Slippage in Shrink-Fit Assemblies

The development of torque-induced shear stresses in the presence of slippage, and the residual stresses remaining after torque-induced slippage, are analysed using frozen-stress photoelasticity. Shaft/ring specimens were manufactured from epoxy photoelastic material and were assembled by shrink-fitting prior to being loaded under various regimes, notably the application and release of a torque load. The interface pressure was predicted from Lamé thick cylinder theory, and was also estimated by fitting the Lamé model to the measured stress distributions. The distributions of interface shear stress were calculated from averaged photoelastic data, and compared with the results of a dislocation-based model and with a nonlinear finite element model. For a torque loaded specimen there was good agreement between experimental, theoretical and FE data. Another specimen was loaded in torque then unloaded, with results showing the expected features of slippage and residual stress.

高压气瓶工艺残余应力测试和分析

用X射线及磁记忆两种方法对压缩天然气的高压气瓶应力状态进行了系统分析,对一个气瓶整体制造工艺中的残余应力变化用X射线法进行了跟踪检测。考察了气瓶锻造后、淬火后及回火后外表面的残余应力状况,对相同测点进行了三次应力测试。为准确找到测点位置并寻求两种方法之间关系,在每次应力测试之前,均用金属磁记忆方法进行了先期检测。结果表明:锻造后应力水平不高,但磁记忆曲线有小幅波动,显示应力不均匀;淬火后表面具有较大压应力,最大达到0.86σS,且磁场亦有较大变化,个别点有明显应力集中;回火处理有效地消除了淬火残余应力,最大值小于0.17σS,应力均匀化,磁记忆曲线几乎无波动,效果良好。而从定量角度,残余应力和磁记忆两者之间没有明确的对应关系。对于磁记忆所显示的磁场强度变化处,用X射线法进行残余应力测试,结果并没有显示出较高的应力水平。说明两种方法不可互相替代,但以其各自的特点和优势可做互相补充。

Magnetic Resonance Measurement of Transient Shear Wave Propagation in a Viscoelastic Gel Cylinder

A magnetic resonance measurement technique was developed to characterize the transient mechanical response of a gel cylinder subjected to angular acceleration. The technique employs tagged magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) synchronized to periodic impact excitation of a bulk specimen. The tagged MRI sequence provides, non-invasively, an array of distributed displacement and strain measurements with high spatial (here, 4 mm) and temporal (6 ms) resolution. The technique was validated on a cylindrical gelatin sample. Measured dynamic strain fields were compared to strain fields predicted using (1) a closed-form solution and (2) finite element simulation of shear waves in a three-parameter “standard” linear viscoelastic cylinder subjected to similar initial and boundary conditions. Material parameters used in the analyses were estimated from measurements made on the gelatin in a standard rheometer. The experimental results support the utility of tagged MRI for dynamic, non-invasive assays such as measurement of shear waves in brain tissue during angular acceleration of the skull. When applied in the inverse sense, the technique has potential for characterization of the mechanical behavior of gel biomaterials.     

Measurement of the Dynamic Bulk and Shear Response of Soft Human Tissues

Traditionally, Kolsky bars are used to study the dynamic response of hard materials in uniaxial compression, tension or torsion. We present modifications to the technique that allow loading of a soft tissue specimen in (a) hydrostatic compression and (b) simple shear. The first modification is designed to determine the pressure vs. volume behavior of each material, and thence to extract a measure of the dynamic compressibility or equivalently of the bulk modulus. The second modification is designed to develop the shear stress versus shear strain behavior for a near-simple shear experiment. The critically important questions of the proper acquisition of human tissue samples and protocols for appropriate experimentation have also been addressed. The experimental techniques and the results are discussed in detail and the results compared to finite element simulations. We present examples of the dynamic response of typical tissue simulants as well as human liver and stomach tissues.     

Rheological properties of suspensions of TiO2 particles in polymer solutions. 1. Shear viscosity

This paper presents results on the rheological behaviour of suspensions of two kinds of TiO₂ particles in two different polymer solutions. The particles differ in their hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties. The dispersing media are a solution of high molecular weight polyisobutylene in decalin and a solution of a low molecular weight polybutene in decalin. The concentrations of polymer are adjusted in order to get the same zero shear viscosity. The shear viscosity measurements display an apparent yield stress in some cases. The existence and the values of the yield stress depend on the volume fraction of solid particles and on the type of particles. The evolution of the intrinsic viscosity and of the maximum packing fraction vs the shear rate is interpreted in terms of evolution of the size and of the shape of aggregates of particles under shear. The effect of temperature on the development of the yield stress is also discussed. The results are completed by microscopic observations.

Shear relaxation characteristics of rock joints under stepwise loadings

The stress relaxation characteristic of rock mass is an important aspect of rheology and has important practical significance for rock engineering. In order to investigate the relaxation characteristic of rock joints with different slope ratios and normal stresses, a series of shear stress relaxation tests were conducted on artifical rock joints poured by cement mortar. Test results show that the relaxation curves can be divided into three stages, i.e. instantaneous relaxation stage, attenuation relaxation stage, and stable relaxation stage. Furthermore, the nonlinear Maxwell relaxation equation was obtained by using the relation between the viscosity coefficient and time, and the theoretical curves based on the empirical equation agreed well with the test results. Moreover, the change law of the initial viscosity coefficient was investigated. Accordingly, a stress relaxation method, termed as relaxation stress peak method, was proposed to determine the long-term strength of rock joints.     

Shear Rate and Permeability in Water Flooding

Water breakthrough during oil recovery can be inhibited by the use of novel shear-induced structure additives. These affect the shear rate experienced by fluid inside the rock matrix. We relate this to the permeability for the purpose of applying these novel non-Newtonian materials which thicken viscosity only in the shear range associated with the permeability of the reservoir while maintaining base fluid properties outside this range.     

Shear thickening in electrically-stabilized colloidal suspensions

A theory is presented for the onset of shear thickening in colloidal suspensions of particles, stabilized by an electrostatic repulsion. Based on an activation model, a critical shear stress can be derived for the onset of shear thickening in dense suspensions for a constant potential and a constant charge approach of the spheres. Unlike previous models, the total interaction potential is taken into account (sum of attraction and repulsion). The critical shear stress is related to the maximum of the total interaction potential scaled by the free volume per particle. A comparison with experimental investigations shows the applicability of the theory.

Drying Induced Stresses in a Swelling Porous Wall

The present paper is concerned with the stresses generated in a capillary-porous wall saturated from the bottom and dried naturally on its side planes. The upper cross-section of the wall is totally isolated and no heat and moisture transfer occurs through it, while the bottom one has an a priori determined temperature and moisture content. The vertical planes of the wall are surrounded by air having different temperatures and moisture contents on the left and the right sides. The problem is solved numerically based on a mechanistic model of drying earlier developed by the authors. The distributions of temperature, moisture content, and the drying induced stresses are determined. The variation of temperature on the wall left and right surfaces is analysed dependent on the surroundings temperature. The influence of boundary conditions on the stress distribution in the wall is discussed.     

Shear banding in reaction-diffusion models

Shear banding occurs in the flow of complex fluids: various types of shear thinning and shear thickening micelle solutions and liquid crystals. In order to cope with the strongly inhomogeneous interface between the bands, constitutive models used in standard rheology must be supplemented by non-local terms. This leads rather generally to non-linear partial differential equations of the reaction-diffusion type. We use this formalism in order to explain some observed experimental features and as a guide for future research in this field. Received: 17 May 1999/Accepted: 3 August 1999     

Uniformity of Stresses Within a Three-Phase Elliptic Inclusion in Anti-Plane Shear

In this paper, we show that a three-phase elliptic inclusion under uniform remote stress and eigenstrain in anti-plane shear admits an internal uniform stress field provided that the interfaces are two confocal ellipses. The exact closed-form solution is used to quantify the effect of the interphase layer on the residual stresses within the inclusion and the dependency of this effect on the aspect ratio of the elliptic inclusion. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Shear bands in dense metallic granular materials

In this paper, the phenomenon of strain localization, i.e., shear banding, in densely distributed metallic assemblies has been studied. A discrete element methodology for analyzing metallic granular materials has been put forward. In this numerical model, elastoplastic contact, as well as friction, rolling resistance and cohesion between spheres, are explicitly taken into account. The calculations reveal that the shear banding mechanism in dense assemblies can be thought as an instability triggered by initial imperfections. Within a band, the motion, deformation and rearrangement of spheres soften the resistance of the aggregate, as these mechanisms create additional geometric imperfections. Additionally, the simulations showed that the shear-band width does not change conclusively with the friction, rolling resistance and plasticity parameters. However, cohesive strength, even in small amounts, drastically increased the shear-band width. Finally, the shear-band thickness and inclination angles are strongly dependent on the degree of initial imperfection. Whereas for a perfect assembly the shear band inclinations were consistently around 60°, more heterogeneous assemblies lead to shear band angles closer to the continuum mechanics solution, which is 45°. This was found to be in agreement with recent experimental observations.     

Large Deformation of Nitinol Under Shear Dominant Loading

Full-field quantitative strain maps of phase transformation and plasticity in Nitinol under large shear-dominated deformation are presented. To achieve a shear-dominated deformation mode with relatively uniform stresses and strains, a shear compression specimen (SCS) geometry was utilized. Shear deformation appears to impede the development of the strain localization during phase transformation that is seen in uniaxial testing. The shear-dominant deformation of Nitinol in the plastic regime exhibits low hardening and results in the development of significant strain inhomogeneity.
