Optical measurement of the plastic zone size in a notched metal specimen subjected to low-cycle fatigue

This paper describes an optical method used for the determination of the plastic zone size generated on the surface of a notched metal specimen under conditions of low-cycle fatigue. The proposed optical method uses white-light scattering generated by plastically induced surface roughness on the specimen polished surface. By digital processing two images of the specimen surface, one recorded before and the other after the generation of the fatigue deformation, it is possible to evaluate the accumulated plastic damage. The plastic zone measured in the crack initiation stage is compared with the results obtained by a recrystallization technique.

Structural and optical studies of the discontinuous behaviour of Te thin films subjected to He implantation

Electron microscopy investigations of tellurium thin films implanted with singly ionized He ions have revealed the appearance of a large number of surface structures when N _s, the number of implanted ions per unit area within the films, exceeds 0.2×10¹⁵ ions/cm² at a beam energy of 32 keV. This coincides with an observed discontinuity in the optical properties of the Te thin films and with a sudden decrease in the degree of orientation of the thin films as measured by X-ray diffraction. The same type of behaviour is observed for implantations with variable ion-beam energies and a fixed N _s of 0.5×10¹⁵ He ions/cm², with a discontinuity apparent near a value of 30 keV.

针对低频噪声较难消除的问题,设计了亥姆霍兹共振腔与声学超材料薄膜耦合的消声结构,在利用有限元软件进行屈曲分析薄膜的临界状态得知声学超材料薄膜结构临界失稳力为0.087 N·m,利用COMSOL声固耦合模块研究薄膜形态对传递损失峰值频率的影响。结果表明:薄膜扭转角度由0°增加到30°时,薄膜总体刚度增加,传递损失峰值对应频率向右偏移了30 Hz,变化并不明显。为了扩大频率偏移范围,在扭转30°的基础上,对扭矩棒施加垂直向下的压力,压力由0 kPa增加到2 kPa,薄膜预应力增大,系统刚度增加,使得传递损失峰值向右偏移了170 Hz。最后搭建实验平台,验证了薄膜在扭转时的频率偏移与仿真基本吻合,在不同压力时频率偏移一致,进而可以实现较大范围的低频率噪声控制。为声学超材料的设计和控制提供有效的依据。     

Modelling of spall damage in ductile materials and its application to the simulation of plate impact on copper

A statistical model of dynamic spall damage due to void nucleation and growth is proposed for ductile materials under intense loading, which takes into account inertia, elastic-plastic effect, and initial void size. To some extent, void interaction could be accounted for in this approach. Based on this model, the simulation of spall experiments for copper is performed with the Lagrangian finite element method. The simulation results are in good agreement with experimental data for the free surface velocity profile, stress record behind copper target, final porosity, and void concentrations across the target. The influence of elastic-plastic effect upon the damage evolution is explored. The correlation between the damage evolution and the history of the stress near the spall plane is also analyzed.     

Computational study of mixing behaviour of a turbulent jet issuing in a uniform counterflow at low velocity ratios

This paper proposes a computational study for the analysis of the velocity and the scalar concentration field of a round turbulent jet flowing into a uniform stream in opposite direction. The investigation is carried out for a range of low jet-to-counterflow velocity ratios; R = 1.3, 1.6, 2.2, 3.1 and 3.4. The Reynolds stress model is applied in numerical simulation to compare obtained results with experimental data from the literature. It is found that predicted results are in good agreement with the experimental data and that the jet fluid decays faster in the presence of a counterflow. The linearity between the penetration distance and the velocity ratio is verified and the axial fluctuating velocities along jet centreline appear to have two distinct peaks, except for the stronger counterflow. The enhanced mixing efficiency of the counterflowing jet is verified through the radial distribution of velocity and scalar concentration at different streamwise stations.

Three-dimensional quantification of texture heterogeneity in single-crystal aluminium subjected to equal channel angular pressing

Abstract

A three-dimensional crystal plasticity finite element method (3D CPFEM) modelling of a real equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) process for investigating the mechanical properties and texture evolutions of single-crystal aluminium has been developed for the first time. The challenge of modelling such a severe plastic deformation via 3D CPFEM is how to accurately predict the deformation mechanism under the complicated contact conditions between a billet and a die. The validation by comparison with experimental observations demonstrates that the developed 3D CPFEM ECAP model is able to precisely capture the deformation characteristics at the microscale. Furthermore, this research clarified the previously remaining disputes such as the microstructural formation mechanism in the deformed area and the deformation nature in the plastic deformation zone. It is also the first time to extensively discuss the orientation-dependent deformation feature of the ECAP-processed billets, including morphology, lattice rotation angle and grain refinement.     

Effect of ballistic electrons on ultrafast thermomechanical responses of a thin metal film

The ultrafast thermomechanical coupling problem in a thin gold film irradiated by ultrashort laser pulses with different electron ballistic depths is investigated via the ultrafast thermoelasticity model. The solution of the problem is obtained by solving finite element governing equations. The comparison between the results of ultrafast thermomechanical coupling responses with different electron ballistic depths is made to show the ballistic electron effect. It is found that the ballistic electrons have a significant influence on the ultrafast thermomechanical coupling behaviors of the gold thin film and the best laser micromachining results can be achieved by choosing the specific laser technology(large or small ballistic range).In addition, the influence of simplification of the ultrashort laser pulse source on the results is studied, and it is found that the simplification has a great influence on the thermomechanical responses, which implies that care should be taken when the simplified form of the laser source term is applied as the Gaussian heat source.     

Structural modifications in metal complexes of a plant metallothionein caused by reductive radical stress: a Raman study

The effect of radical stress in the biological environment is a very active field of research connecting various disciplines of life science. Thus, a comprehensive vision of all possible reactive species is necessary for contributing to the solution of puzzling questions on free radicals. In this contest, damages to Zn(II) and Cd(II) complexes of a plant metallothionein (Quercus suber—QsMT), because of reductive radical stress, were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. QsMT is a low‐molecular‐weight cysteine‐rich protein obtained by in vivo synthesis to have a physiologically representative model. Gamma‐irradiation was used to simulate the endogenous formation of reductive species. By changing the appropriate conditions of irradiation, a selection of the reacting radical species (hydrogen atom and hydrated electron) was carried out. Specific damages occur at sensitive amino acid sites, selectively, rather than indiscriminately. In particular, Cys resulted to be among the most sensitive residues toward radical attack, suggesting that the thiolate clusters of both metal and QsMTs act as efficient interceptors of reducing species. Under reductive stress, Zn–QsMT undergoes a significant thiolate group oxidation and the participation of ligands other than the cysteine‐derived thiolate bonds (i.e. His) in zinc coordination becomes necessary for the protein stabilization. Regarding Met residues, they resulted to be more sensitive to the reductive radical attack when the protein binds Cd(II) ions, indicating that the protein structure can play a significant role in blocking the ready access of free radicals to the sulfur‐containing residues, so strongly affecting the radiosensitivity of the protein. In conclusion, the results obtained from γ‐irradiation experiments indicate that reductive stress causes changes in the primary QsMT structure and in the secondary and tertiary structures, and the radical‐induced effects are dependent on the metal bound.

Fatigue Life Prediction of a Rubber Mount Based on the Continuum Damage Mechanics

Abstract

Failure analysis and fatigue life prediction are important steps in the design procedure of industrial products to assure the safety and reliability of their components. A new methodology to predict the fatigue life of a rubber mount based on the continuum damage mechanics is proposed in this study. The hyperelastic constitutive model of the natural rubber material in the mount was fitted using the three parameter Mooney-Rivlin model. A damage variable was introduced and the evolution function of cumulative damage in the rubber material was derived. The parameters in the damage function were acquired based on uniaxial tensile tests and fatigue life tests of the natural rubber specimens. Then the finite element analysis (FEA) models of the rubber mount for loads in the X and Y directions were established and the strain contours and the maximum principal strains of the rubber mount under various loads were calculated. The maximum principal strain was used as the fatigue parameter, which was substituted into the natural rubber’s fatigue life damage function to predict the fatigue life of the rubber mount. Finally, the fatigue lives of the rubber mount under various loads were measured on a fatigue test rig to validate the accuracy of the fatigue life prediction method. The test results indicated that the fatigue lives predicted agreed fairly well with the test results and the fatigue prediction method should be applicable to both rubber and other types of components.     

Finite element method for viscoelastic medium with damage and the application to structural analysis of solid rocket motor grain

This paper studies the damage-viscoelastic behavior of composite solid propellants of solid rocket motors(SRM).Based on viscoelastic theories and strain equivalent hypothesis in damage mechanics,a three-dimensional(3-D)nonlinear viscoelastic constitutive model incorporating with damage is developed.The resulting viscoelastic constitutive equations are numerically discretized by integration algorithm,and a stress-updating method is presented by solving nonlinear equations according to the Newton-Raphson method.A material subroutine of stress-updating is made up and embedded into commercial code of Abaqus.The material subroutine is validated through typical examples.Our results indicate that the finite element results are in good agreement with the analytical ones and have high accuracy,and the suggested method and designed subroutine are efficient and can be further applied to damage-coupling structural analysis of practical SRM grain.

Assessing the effect of a barrier between two rooms subjected to low frequency sound using the boundary element method

The boundary element method (BEM) has been used to compute the acoustic wave propagation through a single vertical panel, which separates two rooms, made of concrete, when one of the rooms is excited by a steady-state, spatially sinusoidal, harmonic line load pressure at low frequencies. This work focuses on how the connection of the panel to the ceiling affects the acoustic insulation provided by the wall. Perfect double-fixed partitions and acoustic barrier-type structures with differently-sized gaps between the ceiling and the barrier are studied. The BEM model is formulated in the frequency domain and takes the air-solid interaction fully into account. Insulation dips are localised in the frequency domain and identified with dips associated with both the wall's natural dynamic vibration modes and with those associated with the air in the rooms. The influence of the wall's thickness on acoustic insulation is also analysed. The computed results obtained with the acoustic barrier type structure are compared with those obtained by a rigid model. The importance of the rooms' surface conditions is assessed, modelling the rooms with cork.
