A procedure for estimating Young’s modulus of textured polycrystalline materials

In this study, a procedure for estimating Young’s modulus of textured and non-textured polycrystalline materials was examined based on finite element analyses, which were performed using three-dimensional polycrystalline finite element models of a random structure, generated using the Voronoi tessellation. Firstly, the local stress/strain distribution and its influence on macroscopic elastic properties were evaluated. Then, the statistical relationship between Young’s modulus obtained from the finite element analyses and averaged Young’s modulus of all grains evaluated based on Voigt’s or Reuss’ model was investigated. It was revealed that the local stress/strain in the polycrystalline body is affected by crystal orientation and deformation constraint caused by adjacent grains, whereas only the crystal orientation affects Young’s modulus of the polycrystalline body when the number of grains is large enough. It was also shown that Young’s modulus correlates well with the averaged Young’s modulus of all grains, in which the size of grains is considered in the averaging. Finally, a procedure for estimating Young’s modulus of textured and non-textured materials was proposed. Young’s modulus of various materials can be estimated from the elastic constants of single crystal and the distribution of crystal orientation and size of grains, which can be obtained by using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD).

Transient and steady-state nanoindentation creep of polymeric materials

The transient and steady-state nanoindentation creep of polymeric materials was investigated. The creep model is used to explain the experimental data of transient and steady-state creep dominated by viscoelastic deformation and power-law creep deformation, respectively. The Burgers viscoelastic model was used to interpret the transient creep in polymers under nano-indentation. Explicit expression for the displacement of transient creep was derived using the correspondence principle of linear viscoelasticity theory. The power law of strain rate-stress relation was used to explain the creep displacement during the steady state. Three polymers of poly(methyl methacrylate), hydroxyethyl methacrylate copolymer, and the fast-cure acrylic resin were used to measure the nanoindentation creep. The transient creep data are in good agreement with the predictions from the Burgers viscoelastic model. The creep displacement is mainly attributed to the viscous flow of the Kelvin element, and the computed values of viscosities (η_1,c, η_2,c) increase with decreasing preloading rate. By comparing the steady-state creep data with the power law of strain rate-stress relation, the stress exponents for the above polymeric materials were quantitatively determined.     

A MICROMECHANICAL FRAMEWORK WITH AGGREGATE-MASTIC INTERFACE EFFECT FOR PREDICTING UNIAXIAL COMPRESSION CREEP OF ASPHALT MIXTURE

According to the elastic-viscoelastic correspondence principle, an elastic microme- chanical framework taking the inclusion-matrix interface effect into account is extended for predicting viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixture, which is simply treated as elastic coarse aggregate inclusions periodically and isotropically embedded in a viscoelastic asphalt mastic matrix. The Burgers model is adopted for characterizing the matrix mechanical behavior, so that the homogenized relaxation modulus of asphalt mixture in compression creep is derived. After a series of uniaxial compression creep tests are performed on asphalt mastic in different temperature and stress conditions in order to determine the matrix constitutive parameters, the framework presented is validated by comparison with the experiment, and then some predictions of uniaxial compression creep behavior of asphalt mixture in different temperature and stress conditions are given.     

The role of intergranular constraint on the stress-induced martensitic transformation in textured polycrystalline NiTi

The influences of grain boundaries and relative grain misorientations on stress-induced martensitic transformations in NiTi are studied using unique experiments and finite element modeling. Tensile and compressive mechanical tests reveal that polycrystalline NiTi with a dominant <111> fiber texture and single crystal NiTi oriented along the [111] direction exhibit nearly identical stress–strain curves during a stress-induced martensitic transformation. Micro-mechanical finite element simulations of fiber textured polycrystals and single crystals undergoing a multi-variant martensitic transformation confirm the relative indifference of the macroscopic transformation attributes to the presence of grain boundaries. On the microscale, the finite element simulations further reveal that the insensitivity of the transformation to intergranular constraint is linked to the local stress disturbance created by transforming grains. The transformation of grains that are favorably oriented with respect to the loading axis creates local stresses that invariably assist the transformation in neighboring grains, effectively lowering the influence of grain misorientations and boundaries on the macroscopic transformation behavior.     

A Simple Model for a Fluid-Filled Open-Cell Foam

A simple microstructure model is used to describe a fluid-filled open-cell foam. In the simplest case it consists of parallel elastic plates with gaps between them, which are filled with a Newtonian fluid. We assume that the load applied to this model material is uniaxial. The constitutive equation is formulated with the pressure of the fluid as an inner variable. The model yields an evolutional equation for the fluid pressure which itself is a field equation, that is a partial differential equation in time and space coordinates. This differential equation is solved for an instantaneously applied constant load and for a harmonically oscillating load. The solution of the differential equation, in combination with the constitutive equation leads to a relation between mean applied load and global strain of the test specimen. Finally, we obtain the creep compliance and the complex modulus of the foam material, respectively. The influence of different geometries of the foam and of different material behaviour of the matrix and fluid on the creep compliance and the complex modulus is discussed.

Time-dependent thermoelastic creep analysis of rotating disk made of Al–SiC composite

Time-dependent creep stress redistribution analysis of rotating disk made of Al–SiC composite is investigated using Mendelson’s method of successive elastic solution. All mechanical and thermal properties except Poisson’s ratio are radial dependent based on volume fraction percent of SiC reinforcement. The material creep behavior is described by Sherby’s constitutive model using Pandey’s experimental results on Al–SiC composite. Loading is an inertia body force due to rotation and a distributed temperature field due to steady-state heat conduction from inner to outer surface of the disk. Using equations of equilibrium, stress strain, and strain displacement, a differential equation, containing creep strains, for displacement is obtained. History of stresses and deformations are calculated using method of successive elastic solution. It is concluded that the uniform distribution of SiC reinforcement does not considerably influence on stresses. However, the minimum and most uniform distribution of circumferential and effective thermoelastic stresses belongs to composite disk of aluminum with 0% SiC at inner surface and 40% SiC at outer surface. It has also been found that the stresses, displacement, and creep strains are changing with time at a decreasing rate so that after almost 50 years the solution approaches the steady-state condition.     

Comparison of viscous and elastic properties of polyolefin melts in shear and elongation

Viscous and elastic properties of a linear polypropylene (PP) and a long-chain branched low-density polyethylene (LDPE) have been investigated by creep and creep–recovery experiments in shear and elongation. The data obtained verify the ratios between the linear values of the viscosities and the steady-state elastic compliances in shear and elongation predicted by the theory of linear viscoelasticity. In the nonlinear range, no simple correlation between the viscous behaviour in shear and elongation exists. The elongational viscosity of the PP decreases with increasing stress analogously to the shear thinning observed; the linear range extends to higher stresses in elongation than in shear, however. The LDPE shows thinning in shear and strain hardening in elongational flow. For the LDPE, a linear steady-state elastic tensile compliance corresponding to one third of the linear steady-state elastic compliance in shear was determined. For the PP, this theoretically predicted value is approximately reached. Analogous to the viscous behaviour, the linear range extends to higher stresses in elongation than in shear. For both materials, the steady-state elastic compliances in the nonlinear range decrease with increasing stress in shear as well as in elongation. However, the decrease in elongation is more pronounced.

Photomechanical behavior of cellulose acetate under viscoelastoplastic deformation

To confirm the possibilities of cellulose acetate as a material for a model analysis during viscoelastoplastic deformation, the time-dependent photomechanical properties of the material were examined by means of creep tests under constant stress and recovery tests after removal of stress. Consequently, though the strain and the fringe order of cellulose acetate during creep and recovery are greatly influenced by stress and room temperature, both of them can be described simply by a power function of time, and the coefficient of each of these formulas can be represented by a function of the ratio of active stress to yield stress only. The effect of temperature is included in the formulation of the yield stress. In addition, the strain and the fringe order can be represented by the viscous-viscoelastic model proposed by Findleyet al.,^1,2 in which both of them are divided into four components: elastic, plastic, time-dependent irrecoverable viscous and time-dependent recoverable viscoelastic. The relation between viscoelastic strain and viscoelastic fringe order, and the relation between viscous strain and viscous fringe order were verified to be equivalent to that between plastic strain and plastic fringe order, all of which do not depend on stress, temperature or time. Therefore, the strain distribution of cellulose acetate under viscoelastoplastic deformation can be determined directly from the value of the fringe order measured.

Geometrical shape of in-plane inclusion characterized by polynomial internal stress field under uniform eigenstrains

The internal stress field of an inhomogeneous or homogeneous inclusion in an infinite elastic plane under uniform stress-free eigenstrains is studied. The study is restricted to the inclusion shapes defined by the polynomial mapping functions mapping the exterior of the inclusion onto the exterior of a unit circle. The inclusion shapes, giving a polynomial internal stress field, are determined for three types of inclusions, i.e., an inhomogeneous inclusion with an elastic modulus different from the surrounding matrix, an inhomogeneous inclusion with the same shear modulus but a different Poisson’s ratio from the surrounding matrix, and a homogeneous inclusion with the same elastic modulus as the surrounding matrix. Examples are presented, and several specific conclusions are achieved for the relation between the degree of the polynomial internal stress field and the degree of the mapping function defining the inclusion shape.     

ASYMPTOTIC ANALYSIS OF MODE Ⅱ STATIONARY GROWTH CRACK ON ELASTIC-ELASTIC POWER LAW CREEPING BIMATERIAL INTERFACE

A mechanical model was established for mode Ⅱ interfacial crack static growing along an elastic-elastic power law creeping bimaterial interface. For two kinds of boundary conditions on crack faces, traction free and frictional contact, asymptotic solutions of the stress and strain near tip-crack were given. Results derived indicate that the stress and strain have the same singularity, there is not the oscillatory singularity in the field; the creep power-hardening index n and the ratio of Young' s module notably influence the cracktip field in region of elastic power law creeping material and n only influences distribution of stresses and strains in region of elastic material. When n is bigger, the creeping deformation is dominant and stress fields become steady, which does not change with n.Poisson ' s ratio does not affect the distributing of the crack- tip field.     

Anisotropic Mechanical Properties of SAC Solder Joints in Microelectronic Packaging and Prediction of Uniaxial Creep Using Nanoindentation Creep

In this paper, the mechanical properties and creep behavior of lead-free solder joints has been characterized by nano-mechanical testing of single grain SAC305 solder joints extracted from plastic ball grid array (PBGA) assemblies. The anisotropic mechanical properties characterized include the elastic modulus, hardness, and yield stress. An approach is suggested to predict tensile creep strain rates for low stress levels using nanoindentation creep data measured at very high compressive stress levels. The uniaxial creep rate measured on similarly prepared bulk (large) specimens was found to be of the same order-of-magnitude as the creep rate observed in single-grain BGA joints, with chararacteristically (slightly) higher creep strains measured during nanoindentation. This suggests that the same creep mechanism operates in both size domains. Electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) and nanoindentation testing further showed that the modulus, hardness, and creep properties of solder joints are highly dependent on the crystal orientation.
