A Method of Modeling the Interaction of Creep and High-Cycle Fatigue

The interaction of creep and fatigue in structural materials under high-cycle loading is modeled using isochronic limit stress diagrams. The hypothesis of a unified limit diagram invariant to the time to failure is used. The unified diagram is given by a cosine power function with the exponent describing creep-fatigue interaction and encompasses convex, concave, and S-like curves. The models build are tested for aluminum alloys, heat-resistant steels, creep-resistant steels and alloys, and laminates__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 1, pp. 25–36, January 2005.     

Fatigue strength of metals and composites under repeated high-cycle torsion

The limiting stresses are determined and constant fatigue life diagrams for high-cycle torsion with repeated stress cycle are plotted using the limiting-state models obtained based on the hypothesis of a unified constant-life diagram, which is invariant to the number of cycles to failure. The unified constant-life diagram is given by a transcendental power function whose exponent is an additional parameter characterizing the sensitivity of the material to the asymmetry of the stress cycle. The calculated results and experimental data for carbon and alloyed steels and composite materials are in good agreement __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 2, pp. 19–28, February 2008.

Prediction of localized thinning in sheet metal using a general anisotropic yield criterion

The forming limit diagram (FLD) is a useful concept for characterizing the formability of sheet metal. The ability to accurately predict the FLD for a given material has been shown to depend on the shape of the selected yield function. In addition, both experimental and numerical results have shown that the level of the FLD is strongly strain path dependent. In this work, a combination of Marciniak–Kuczynski (M–K) analysis and a general anisotropic yield criterion developed by Karafillis and Boyce (Karafillis, A.P., Boyce, M.C., 1993. A general anisotropic yield criterion using bounds and transformation weighting tensor. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 41, 1859) is used to predict localized thinning of sheet metal alloys for linear and nonlinear strain paths. A new method for determining the constants in the yield criterion is proposed. The optimal values are obtained by fitting the initial yield stresses and calculated FLD under linear strain paths with the experimental measurement. Using this approach, accurate yield functions can be defined for both Al2008-T4 and Al6111-T4. Comparisons of computed FLDs with the experimental data of Graf and Hosford (Graf, A., Hosford, W.F., 1993b. Effect of changing strain paths on forming limit diagrams of Al 2008-T4. Metall. Trans. A. 24, 2503; Graf, A., Hosford, W.F., 1994. The influence of strain path changes on forming limit diagrams of Al 6111-T4. Int. J. Mech. Sci. 36, 897) show good agreements.

Stability of deformation of isotropic hyperelastic bodies

The equations relating stress rates to strain rates are formulated and conditions of stable deformation of isotropic hyperelastic bodies are described. Stress–strain relations are presented for pure shear and uniaxial and axisymmetric loading of a material with a constitutive function obtained by generalization of the constitutive function of Hooke's law. In the case of small strains, the diagrams virtually coincide with the linear diagrams following from Hooke's law. Ramification of solutions and transition to declining diagrams begin at the same time, irrespective of values of the constants of the material, when large stresses of the order of the shear modulus are reached.

Macro-performance evaluation of friction stir welded automotive tailor-welded blank sheets: Part I – Material properties

In order to evaluate the macroscopic performance of friction stir welded automotive tailor-welded blank (TWB) sheets, the hardening behavior, anisotropic yielding properties and forming limit diagram were characterized both for base (material) and weld zones. In order to describe the Bauschinger and transient hardening behaviors as well as permanent softening during reverse loading, the modified Chaboche type combined isotropic–kinematic hardening law was applied. As for anisotropic yielding, the non-quadratic anisotropic yield function, Yld2000-2d, was utilized for base material zones, while isotropy was assumed for weld zones for simplicity. As for weld zones, hardening properties were obtained using the rule of mixture and selectively by direct measurement using sub-sized specimens. Forming limit diagrams were measured for base materials but calculated for weld zones based on Hill’s bifurcation and M–K theories. In this work, four automotive sheets were considered: aluminum alloy 6111-T4, 5083-H18, 5083-O and dual-phase steel DP590 sheets, each having one or two thicknesses. Base sheets with the same and different thicknesses were friction-stir welded for tailor-welded blank (TWB) samples.     

Prefracture zone for longitudinal shear cracks in structured materials

We obtain simple relations for the following critical fracture parameters of elastoplastic materials: the shear stresses, the prefracture zone length, and the stress intensity factor for mode III of fracture. There is a passage to the limit from a sufficient fracture criterion to a necessary fracture criterion as the prefracture zone length tends to zero. The critical stresses obtained from the necessary and sufficient criteria are substantially different. In the framework of the proposed model, the critical stress intensity factor obtained from the sufficient criterion depends on the grain diameter and the parameters of the τ-γ diagram of the material.     

Elastic springback in plates and beams formed by bending

A plane-strain solution is presented to predict the springback of plates formed by bending. The solution assumes that the strains are small, that the material is an isotropichardening von Mises material, and either that the stress-strain diagrams for tension and compression are identical or that an average diagram can be employed. The plastic portion of each stress-strain diagram is approximated by a finite number of straight lines. Both analytical solutions and experimental evidence indicate that the much simpler plane-stress solution can be used to predict springback for both beams and plates. Experimental data confirm that the type of die has a pronounced effect on the springback for beams and plates if the material exhibits a yield point.

自然单元法是一种基于离散点集的Voronoi图和Delaunay三角化几何信息,以自然邻近插值为试函数的新型数值方法.相对于一般无网格法中常采用的移动最小二乘近似而言,自然邻近插值不涉及到复杂的矩阵求逆运算,更不需要任何人为的参数,可以提高计算效率.采用该方法构造的形函数满足Delta函数的性质,可以像有限元一样准确地施加边界条件,可以方便处理场函数及其导数的不连续性的问题.论文将自然单元法应用到极限上限分析中,编制了相应的计算程序,通过极限分析的几个经典算例进行了验证,同时采用类似于分片应力磨平的方式,编制相应的磨平程序,由计算点上的塑性耗散功外推得到了节点上的塑性耗散功的值,从而画出了极限状态下结构的塑性耗散功的分布云图.计算结果表明采用自然单元法求解极限上限分析具有稳定性好,精度高,收敛快等优点.     

Use of structural components of specific work of internal forces for estimating the strength of viscoelastic structures in local stress concentration regions

Material fracture experiments on specimens and structures testify that materials can resist greater stresses in local stress concentration regions than in regions with a nearly homogeneous stress state. Taking this fact into account in design stress analysis permits one to reveal additional structure loading and/or service life margins. One approach aimed at taking into account the increased strength in local stress concentration regions is to use averaged limit characteristics parametrically depending on the characteristic size L of the averaging region. One version of this approach is the concept of “elementary block” of a material [1, 2]. The averaged limit characteristics are determined by an experiment-calculation method involving the analysis of the stress-strain state of a material specimen with a stress concentrator at the time when the specimen attains the limit state preceding macrofracture.In [3], the dependence of the averaged limit separation stresses on the size of the averaging region was determined on the basis of numerical analysis of the singular stress state of the specimen used to determine the standard characteristics of the adhesion strength of a filled polymer material. In the present paper, we generalize the above approach to the case of a viscoelastic material. For the limit characteristics of the material in the local stress concentration region we take the volume-averaged components of the specific work of internal forces [4, 5] (the averaged specific absorbed energy and the averaged specific instantaneously reversible energy). The introduction of two limit energies originates from the fact that, to initiate the process of macrofracture, it is necessary to satisfy the following two conditions simultaneously: the material must be “damaged” sufficiently strongly by the preceding loading, and the “damaged” material must be loaded sufficiently strongly. As an example of determining the material averaged limit energy characteristics in a local stress concentration region, we consider the problem about the strain of a viscoelastic specimen used to determine the standard adhesion strength characteristics. The problem is solved numerically under the following assumptions: the specimen material is assumed to be linearly viscoelastic, and the specific absorbed energy in the stress concentration region is assumed to coincide in magnitude with the specific scattered energy. To estimate the accuracy of the numerical method, we use the solution of the model problem about the action of a plane circular die on a half-space consisting of a linearly viscoelastic incompressible material.     

不同拉压特性的厚壁圆筒极限内压统一解

厚壁圆筒在实际工程领域中应用广泛,若能精确计算出极限内压,对预防事故发生,降低风险有重要意义.工程中存在许多材料,其拉压强度和拉压模量均存在差异,这些差异对极限内压的大小有显著影响.以往研究表明,仅考虑拉压强度与拉压模量的一个方面,计算结果与实际情况存在一定的误差.本文基于双剪统一强度理论,综合考虑中间主应力效应及材料拉压强度和拉压模量的不同,推导了内压作用下厚壁圆筒的弹、塑性状态的应力分布及弹性极限内压、塑性极限内压与安定极限内压的统一解,通过与其他文献对比分析验证了本文计算结果的正确性,分析了半径比、统一强度理论参数、拉压强度比与拉压模量系数对弹性极限内压、塑性极限内压及安定极限内压的影响.结果表明:统一解均随半径比和统一强度理论参数的增大而增大,随拉压强度比的增大而减小,弹性极限内压随材料拉压模量系数的增大而减小,当壁厚增加到一定值后,安定极限内压随材料拉压模量系数的增大而减小;材料的拉压模量不同、拉压强度差异对厚壁圆筒的安定性影响显著,考虑中间主应力效应可使材料的潜能得到更充分发挥,极限内压随半径比的变化规律可为选择合理壁厚提供参考,该结论可为厚壁圆筒的工程应用提供理论依据.

STUDY OF THREE-SHEAR STRESS UNIFIED STRENGTH THEORY

材料强度理论研究是高等材料力学的一个重要研究领域,200多年来,各国学者提出了许多强度理论及试验研究结果.这些理论都是从不同的假设和力学模型出发,推导出不同的数学表达式,但一般只适用于某一类特定的材料.各种强度理论之间是否有联系?是否可能建立一个广泛适用的统一强度理论?自19世纪末以来,世界各国学者都在努力寻求建立统一强度理论,但一直没有成功.本文应用理论研究和试验验证相结合的方法,提出并验证了三剪应力统一强度理论。认为当作用于菱形十二面单元体上的三个主剪应力及其作用面上的三个正应力的函数达到某一极限值时,材料发生破坏.三剪应力统一强度理论是全应力理论,它用一个统一的线性表达式包含或逼近了现有的和其他新的各种单一和统一、线性和非线性、外凸和非凸的强度理论,形成了以单剪强度理论为下限、而以三剪应力强度理论为上限的一系列强度理论的新体系,实现了外凸强度理论和非凸强度理论的高度统一,使强度理论从适用于某一类材料、某种应力状态的单一强度理论发展为可以适用于各种材料及不同应力状态的统一强度理论,并能更大程度地发挥材料的强度潜力.通过与大量试验结果的对比分析表明：三剪应力统一强度理论可以广泛适用于各种材料及其不同的应力状态.     

Affected depth approach to determine the fatigue strength of materials containing surface defects

This paper explains a novel methodology to determine the High Cycle Fatigue (HCF) reliability of materials with defects. A defect was represented by a semi-spherical void situated at a specimen surface subjected to periodic loading. Then, the Finite Element (FE) method was carried out to find out the stress distribution near the defects for diverse sizes and diverse loadings. The Crossland stress change is studied and interpolated by a mathematical function depending on fatigue limits, defect radius, and profundity from the defect tip. The HCF strength of defect material is computed by the “stress strength” approach via the Monte Carlo sampling. This approach leads to determine Kitagawa–Takahashi diagrams, for a definite reliability, of materials with defects. The calculated HCF reliabilities agree well with fatigue tests. Obtaining Kitagawa–Takahashi diagrams with reliability level permits the engineer to be engaged in an endurance problem to compute the defective fatigue lives in safe and efficient process. As a final point, we discuss the sensitivity effects of defect size, defect free fatigue limits, affected depth, and load amplitude to envisage the fatigue reliability of materials with defects.
