Experimental analysis of an arbitrarily inclined semiinfinite crack terminated at the bimaterial interface

In this paper, the digital photoelastic technique was employed to investigate the effect of different material combinations and different crack inclination angles on the stress-intensity factors (SIFs). To produce a true bimaterial plate, the two component materials were naturally adhered together by a special casting procedure. The experimental results show that dimensionless combined SIF increases with increasingG ₁/G ₂ (or crack inclination angles) for different crack inclination angles (orG ₁/G ₂'s).     

Measurement of energy release rates for delaminations in composite materials

Conventional measurements of energy release rates,G _I andG _II, for delaminations in composite materials, generally utilize loads, crack lengths and simple standard specimen geometries. In this work, a more widely applicable measurement method, using phase shifting moiré and the J integral, is presented. The experimental technique described requires only fringe-pattern information and the elastic constants for the measurements—thus it can be used when the standard methods are inapplicable. Using conventional double-cantilever beam and end-notched flexure specimens, the energy release rate has been measured simultaneously by the moiré method and the standard methods, with good agreement found between the two. This development will for the first time permit the experimental validation of new finite-element routines as they are developed.Paper was presented at the 1993 SEM Spring Conference on Experimental Mechanics held in Dearborn, MI on June 7–9.     

Determining stress intensity factors in orthotropic composites from far-field measured temperatures

We demonstrate the ability to determine stress intensity factors in orthotropic materials directly from measured temperatures away from the crack and using far-field expressions for the stresses. This is advantageous, recognizing that recorded thermoelastic data can be very unreliable near the tip of a crack. In addition to singular terms that govern in the immediate vicinity of the crack tip, the present series expressions for the stresses contain higher-order finite terms. Little measured input information is needed and data acquisition positions can be selected largely at the user's discretion.     

Calculation of residual stresses in injection molded products

Both flow- and thermally-induced residual stresses which arise during the injection molding of amorphous thermoplastic polymers are calculated in the filling and post-filling stage. To achieve this, a compressible version of the Leonov model is employed. Two techniques to calculate flow-induced residual stresses are investigated. First, a direct approach is developed where the pressure problem is formulated using the viscoelastic material model. Second, generalized Newtonian material behavior is assumed in formulating the pressure problem, and the resulting flow kinematics is used to calculate normal stresses employing the compressible Leonov model. The latter technique gives comparable results, while reducing the computational cost significantly.

Experimental strain analysis of the losipescu shear test specimen

An experimental strain analysis of the losipescu shear test specimen was performed, utilizing a 20-ply AS4/3501-6 carbon/epoxy unidirectional composite. Using three-element strain-gage rosettes, it was shown that the presence of loading-point-induced transverse normal strains in the gage section do not affect the measured shear strain. Thus, the shear modulus determined using the standard notch specimen is not affected. Likewise, modulus determination is not influenced by cracking at the notch tips, since this occurs at strains beyond the range over which modulus is determined. To further evaluate the effect of notch-tip cracking, material was removed adjacent to the standard V-notches where these cracks initiate. The measured shear strength was unaffected by removing this material, although the shear modulus was reduced slightly (by as much as eight percent for the more grossly exaggerated geometries). E.Q.

Measurement of residual internal stresses in optical fiber preforms

A non-destructive experimental procedure is presented which enables the determination of residual thermal stresses in optical fiber preforms. The procedure is based on integrated photoelasticity. We carry out the measurement of the optical retardation using the traditional Sénarmont compensation method combined with a fringe shifting technique. The radial distribution of the axial stress is reconstructed using Abel transform. We have investigated two different refractive-index profiles, adopted in the realization of monomode and multimode optical fibers. It was shown that in both cases the results obtained experimentally and those analytically predicted by the Timoshenko elastic model were in good agreement. To obtain accurate experimental results, it was necessary to apply a correction procedure to take into account the fact that the trafectories of the light rays inside the preforms are not straight lines.

Separation of principal stresses in dynamic photoelasticity

A new and effective method used to separate the transient principal stresses for dynamic photoelasticity is proposed. This is a hybrid method combining the optical method of dynamic caustics and the boundary element numerical method. Firstly, a modified Cranz-Schardin spark camera is used to record simultaneously the isochromatic fringe patterns of photoelasticity and the shadow spot patterns in the dynamic process. By means of the isochromatic fringe patterns, the difference between transient principal stresses in the whole domain and the principal stresses along the free boundary can be solved. In addition, the method of caustics is a very powerful technique for measuring the concentrative load. Then, the sum of the principal stresses is calculated by the boundary integral equation obtained from the Laplace integral transform of the wave equation. So, the transient principal stresses can be determined from the experimental and numerical results. As an example, the transient principal stresses in a polycarbonate disk under an impact load are resolved.

NUMERICAL PREDICTION OF PROCESS-INDUCED RESIDUAL STRESSES IN GLASS BULB PANEL

A numerical simulation model for predicting residual stresses which arise during the solidification process of pressed glass bulb panel was developed. The solidification of a molten layer of glass between cooled parallel plates was used to model the mechanics of the buildup of residual stresses in the forming process. A thermorheologically simple thermoviscoelastic model was assumed for the material. The finite element method employed was based on the theory of shells as an assembly of flat elements. This approach calculates residual stresses layer by layer like a truly three-dimensional calculation, which is well suited for thin pressed products of complex shape. An experimental comparison was employed to verify the proposed models and methods.     

Experimental investigation of dynamic punch tests on isotropic and composite materials

An experimental investigation is conducted on the two-dimensional punch problem for isotropic materials and unidirectional fiber-reinforced composite materials under quasi-static and impact loading. Singular stresses are generated in the specimen near the punch corners, and the stress intensity factorK _Iis introduced to describe the singular stress field. Laser interferometry is used to measure in-plane stresses (transmission mode) and out-of-plane displacements (reflection mode) and then estimate the stress intensity factor. In the dynamic case, a high-speed photography technique was employed to capture the transient response of the specimen and measureK(t) just after the impact. In all the cases, a good agreement between the measurements ofK and theoretical predictions was found.     

Photoelastic determination of dynamic crack-tip stresses in an anisotropic plate

The paper outlines a technique of determining the dynamic stress-intensity factors (SIFs) in structurally anisotropic composites from photoelastic measurement data. A composite is considered a linear elastic, homogeneous, orthotropic body. An equation is derived that relates the fringe order with the SIFs and the far-field stresses at the tip of a crack, which is parallel to the orthotropy axis __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 5, pp. 95–103, May 2006.
