首先利用复合材料纤维断裂单胞模型，编制蠕变损伤子程序，对单胞模型进行蠕变损伤分析。分析了纤维／基体弹性模量比对蠕变变形、蠕变损伤以及应力场的影响。从计算结果发现，蠕变损伤首先在纤维断裂尖端起始，然后沿着一定的角度向基体外围延伸，直至完全损伤，而且纤维／基体模量比对高温环境下的复合材料蠕变损伤产生很大的影响；纤维与基体的模量相差越大，复合材料越容易变形，抵抗蠕变变形的能力就越小，蠕变损伤越严重。经过对不同韧性的基体材料进行研究，发现基体韧性低的复合材料蠕变损伤明显高于高韧性基体复合材料，表明低韧性基体复合材料抵抗蠕变破坏的能力较低。

针对复合材料层合板低速冲击损伤问题,提出了一种各向异性材料连续介质损伤力学模型,模型涵盖损伤表征、损伤起始判定和损伤演化法则3 个方面. 通过材料断裂面坐标下的损伤状态变量矩阵完成损伤表征,并考虑断裂面角度的影响,建立了主轴坐标系下的材料损伤本构关系. 损伤起始由卜克(Puck) 失效准则预测,损伤演化由断裂面上的等效应变控制,服从基于材料应变能释放的线性软化行为. 模型区分了纤维损伤和基体损伤,并根据冲击载荷下层内产生多条基体裂纹继而扩展至界面形成层间裂纹(分层) 的试验观察,引入基体裂纹饱和密度参数表征层间分层. 以[0₃/45/-45]_S 和[45/0/-45/90]_4S 两种铺层的复合材料层合板为例,预测了不同冲击能量下复合材料层合板的低速冲击损伤响应参数,试验结果证明了连续介质损伤力学模型的有效性.模型在不同网格密度下的计算结果表明单元特征长度的引入可以在一定程度上降低损伤演化阶段对网格密度的依赖性.      

颗粒填充复合材料强韧化效应的力学分析

颗粒填充复合材料中基体微损伤形式对材料韧性产生决定性影响。本文通过二相或三相材料中基体应力分布的分析计算，结合损伤萌生的力学条件，对颗粒填充的强韧化效应作出定性分析。计算结果表明，若颗粒刚度高于基体，随着颗粒模量的提高，开裂与银纹趋势逐步增强，由此可知单纯使用硬粒子填充难以实现增韧，但若粒子与基体间有柔性界面相存在，基体屈服趋势将随界面厚度迅速增长，它将在损伤引发机制的竞争中占据优势，成为损伤的主导形式，并由此可成功地实现材料的强韧化。

Damage of a high-energy solid propellant and its effects on combustion

In order to improve the safety of high-energy solid propellants, a study is carried out for the effects of damage on the combustion of the NEPE (Nitrate Ester Plasticized Polyether) propellant. The study includes: (1) to introduce damage into the propellants by means of a large-scale drop-weight apparatus; (2) to observe microstructural variations of the propellant with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and then to characterize the damage with density measurements; (3) to investigate thermal decomposition; (4) to carry out closed-bomb tests. The NEPE propellant can be considered as a viscoelastic material. The matrices of damaged samples are severely degraded, but the particles are not. The results of the thermal decomposition and closed-bomb tests show that the microstructural damage in the propellant affects its decomposition and burn rate.

Residual fracture energy of cement paste, mortar and concrete subject to high temperature

Quantifying high temperature damage is an issue that can hardly be dealt with experimentally because of the complexity of the loading control, of temperature and of moisture. The experimental investigation was carried out. The measurement of the mechanical characteristics (fracture energy, tensile strength, elastic modulus and thermal damage parameter) of five cementitious materials, cement paste, mortar, ordinary concrete and two HPC concretes were performed by three-point bending tests after heating/cooling cycles at 120, 250 and 400 °C. The tests showed that the cementitious materials behave almost identical when the fracture energy G_f is considered as a function of maximum temperature. The thermal damage due to heating from 120 to 400 °C increases the fracture energy by 50% with the reference tests at room temperature. A more tortuous crack surface is one reasonable explanation for the significant increase in G_f. It is demonstrated that the temperature exposure makes all cementitious materials tested significantly more ductile and less resistant.

采用约西佩斯库(Iosipescu)纯剪切试件,研究了平纹编织SiC/SiC和C/SiC复合材料的面内剪切应力-应变行为和细观损伤特性.通过试验获得了材料不同方向上的单调和迟滞应力-应变行为,对比分析了两种材料的剪切损伤特性,结果表明材料的剪切损伤演化规律受热残余应力水平影响严重.由试件断口电镜扫描结果发现剪切加载状态下桥连纤维承受显著的弯曲载荷和变形,据此提出了纤维弯曲承载机制,并结合裂纹闭合效应分阶段阐释了材料的剪切迟滞环形状.基于材料的剪切细观损伤机制,通过两个损伤变量表征了材料的剪切损伤演化进程,得到了材料的面内剪切细观损伤演化模型.对比发现2D-C/SiC复合材料45°方向基体裂纹的起裂应力明显小于2D-SiC/SiC复合材料,而两者0°/90°方向裂纹的起裂应力基本相同.      

Thermomechanical assessment of damage in composites

This paper examines, experimentally and numerically, the use of thermal emission measurements to determine the surface stresses for fibre composite materials. Particular attention is paid to the use of this method for problems associated with damage assessment and repair. In contrast to most traditional methods, the thermal emission profile reflects the interaction of load, geometry, material and damage in a non-destructive fashion. It represents a possible method for the scaling of test data obtained from coupon tests to tests on full scale structures.     

含热冲击预损伤的陶瓷基复合材料损伤本构模型

陶瓷基复合材料结构在服役过程中不可避免地经受热冲击(较高的热应力梯度)而产生热机械损伤, 因此, 建立含循环热冲击预损伤材料的损伤本构模型, 以描述材料在热机械载荷作用下的力学行为, 对材料结构损伤容限设计与结构完整性评估非常重要. 本文首先对经历了循环热冲击的材料进行单调拉伸损伤实验, 发现对于含循环热冲击预损伤的材料, 其弹性模量的下降与所施加的应变直接相关. 然后在连续介质损伤力学的框架下, 基于平面应力假设, 建立了含循环热冲击预损伤材料的损伤演化模型, 该模型所涉及的参数可通过一个偏轴(45$^\circ$)以及两个正轴(平行于两个主方向)的单调拉伸试验获得. 最后, 采用经典塑性理论对由基体损伤引起的非弹性应变进行了描述. 本文所提出的应变损伤宏观模型可以描述陶瓷基复合材料在热机械载荷作用下的损伤演化, 同时弥补了含预损伤的陶瓷基复合材料在机械载荷下损伤本构模型在理论及实验研究方面的不足.      

The effect of anisotropic damage evolution on the behavior of ductile and brittle matrix composites

Anisotropic damage evolution laws for ductile and brittle materials have been coupled to a micromechanical model for the prediction of the behavior of composite materials. As a result, it is possible to investigate the effect of anisotropic progressive damage on the macroscopic (global) response and the local spatial field distributions of ductile and brittle matrix composites. Two types of thermoinelastic micromechanics analyses have been employed. In the first one, a one-way thermomechanical coupling in the constituents is considered according to which the thermal field affects the mechanical deformations. In the second one, a full thermomechanical coupling exists such that there is a mutual interaction between the mechanical and thermal fields via the energy equations of the constituents. Results are presented that illustrate the effect of anisotropic progressive damage in the ductile and brittle matrix phases on the composite’s behavior by comparisons with the corresponding isotropic damage law and/or by tracking the components of the damage tensor.     

Numerical analysis of progressive damage in nonwoven fibrous networks under tension

Understanding a mechanical behaviour of polymer-based nonwoven materials that include large-strain deformation and damage can help to evaluate a response of nonwoven fibrous networks to various loading conditions. Here, a nonwoven felt made by thermal bonding of polypropylene fibres was used as a model system. Its deformation and damage behaviour was analysed by means of experimental assessment of damage evolution based on single-fibre failure and finite-element simulations. Tensile tests of nonwoven fabrics were carried out to characterise their damage behaviour under in-plane mechanical loading. It was found that progressive failure of fibres led to localization of damage initiation and propagation, ultimately resulting in failure of the nonwoven felt. To obtain the criteria that control the onset and propagation of damage in these materials, tensile tests on single fibres, extracted from the felt with bond points attached to their ends, were performed. A finite-element model was developed to study damage initiation and propagation in nonwovens. In the model, structural randomness of a nonwoven fibrous network was implemented by means of direct introduction of fibres according to the orientation distribution function. The evolution of damage in the network was controlled by a single-fibre failure criterion obtained experimentally. The proposed numerical model not only captured the macroscopic response of the felt successfully but also reproduced the underlying mechanisms involved in deformation and damage of nonwovens.     

Characterization of Irradiation Damage of Ferritic ODS Alloys with Advanced Micro-Sample Methods

Oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels are candidate materials for advanced electric energy and heat generation plants (nuclear, fossil). Understanding the degradation of mechanical properties of these alloys as a result of service exposure is necessary for safe design. For advanced nuclear applications combinations of temperature, irradiation and stress are important damage conditions. They are studied either with neutron irradiated samples (often highly active) or with ion-irradiated samples (irradiation damage often limited to only a few micrometer deep areas). High activity of samples and limited sample volume claim to subsized samples like nano-indentation, micro-pillar compression or thin strip creep testing. Irradiation hardening and irradiation creep were studied with these methods. Ferritic ODS steels with 19% chromium were investigated. The materials were studied in qualities differing in grain sizes and in sizes of the dispersoids. Irradiation was performed in an accelerator using He-ions. Irradiation damage profiles could be well analyzed with indentation. Yield stress determined with compression tests of single-crystal micropillars was well comparable with tension tests performed along the same crystallographic orientation. Irradiation creep of samples with different sizes of dispersoids revealed only a small influence of particle size being is in contrast with thermal creep but consistent with expectations from other investigations.
