A New Multiaxial Specimen for Determining the Dynamic Properties of Adhesive Joints

Adhesive joints are increasingly employed for bonding critical parts of industrial structures. Therefore, adhesive joints become a key element in design, and their mechanical characterization is of the utmost importance. Significant advancement has been realized for their characterization under quasi-static loadings; however characterization techniques are rather limited for dynamic loadings. Indeed, due to the complex paths of waves through structures, existing dynamic characterization techniques will not characterize only the adhesive joint, but instead will characterize the complete assembly containing the joint and the adherents. Moreover, multiaxiality control of the loading on the adhesive joint is difficult to achieve. This paper proposes an innovative experimental technique for the characterization of adhesive joints under dynamic multiaxial loadings. The experimental method relies on three main components: i) a conventional split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) apparatus, ii) a novel specimen, denoted as DODECA, which enables testing of three distinct multiaxial loadings using the same method and iii) local strain and stress measurements performed by digital image correlation (DIC). The paper describes all steps of the experimental procedure, including the underlying preparation of the specimen and the measuring methods. The stress and strain in the adhesive joint are estimated directly from the experimental data both during loading and at the failure point. Finally, the dynamic material behavior of the adhesive joint is identified from the data.     

Electrical Response of Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Nanocomposites Under Static and Dynamic Loading

An experimental investigation was conducted to study the effect of quasi-static and dynamic compressive loading on the electrical response of multi-wall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) reinforced epoxy nanocomposites. An in-situ polymerization process using both a shear mixer and an ultrasonic processor were employed to fabricate the nanocomposite material. The fabrication process parameters and the optimum weight fraction of MWCNTs for generating a well-dispersed percolation network were first determined. Absolute resistance values were measured with a high-resolution four-point probe method for both quasi-static and dynamic loading. In addition to measuring the percentage change in electrical resistance, real-time damage was captured using high-speed photography. The real-time damage was correlated to both load and percentage change in resistance profiles. The experimental findings indicate that the bulk electrical resistance of the nanocomposites under both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions initially decreased between 40%–60% during compression and then increased as damage initiated and propagated.

Nonlinear Identification Problems Under Large Deflections

This paper presents a method of identifying unknown parameter and force histories for nonlinear structures. The nonlinearities treated are those that arise from large deflections and rotations and/or from material behavior in the form of elastic-plastic and hyperelastic responses. The method is based on a sensitivity response approach in conjunction with a general finite element program; it can determine multiple isolated force histories as well as multiple forces in the form of traction distributions. Because it successfully allies a general finite element program with the inverse methods, there is (potentially, at least) little restriction on the geometric and material complexity of the problems that can be handled. Experimental data from a very flexible beam-like structure is used to demonstrate the attributes of the developed method. Both quasi-static and dynamic tests are performed and evaluated.     

General relations of strain-gradient stress analysis

Some particular fields of stress gradients in plates are investigated analytically and experimentally. Carriers of empirical information are light beam deflections caused by stress or strain gradients in homogeneous beams subjected to a particular case of flexure with shear. This study is based on theories and techniques of the strain-gradient method that was recently introduced by the authors. This is a generalization of prior analytical-experimental examination of strain-gradient light deflections produced in stressed plates, which had concentrated on the simplest case where information of interest is collected along a line of symmetry of the stress field and where both the information carrying light beams are deflected in the plane of symmetry only. The developed relations were tested experimentally, by using an S-beam as representative example of general plane stress field. The main purpose of the present investigation is to document the efficacy of the strain-gradient method in analysis of the general case of stress state and to test the ranges of applicability of the accepted mathematical models and of the subsequently derived relations. In this respect, the most interesting stress state is that in a beam subjected to the Saint-Venant bending, where the transversal and longitudinal axes of the beam are in pure shear. The obtained results are compared, at each step, with the predictions of the developed analytical models and with the predictions of Filon's stress function. The results of comparison are satisfactory. The procedures of evaluating the photoelastic and material coefficients using strain-gradient techniques were tested positively. The developed method can yield valuable information on the actual features of stress states in fracture mechanics. Part of the problems and first results of this investigation will be presented in the authors' paper “Strain-gradient stress analysis in Saint-Venant bending”.     

Dynamic and quasi-static bending of saturated poroelastic Timoshenko cantilever beam

Based on the three-dimensional Gurtin-type variational principle of the incompressible saturated porous media, a one-dimensional mathematical model for dynamics of the saturated poroelastic Timoshenko cantilever beam is established with two assumptions, i.e., the deformation satisfies the classical single phase Timoshenko beam and the movement of the pore fluid is only in the axial direction of the saturated poroelastic beam. Under some special cases, this mathematical model can be degenerated into the Euler-Bernoulli model, the Rayleigh model, and the shear model of the saturated poroelastic beam, respectively. The dynamic and quasi-static behaviors of a saturated poroelastic Timoshenko cantilever beam with an impermeable fixed end and a permeable free end subjected to a step load at its free end are analyzed by the Laplace transform. The variations of the deflections at the beam free end against time are shown in figures. The influences of the interaction coefficient between the pore fluid and the solid skeleton as well as the slenderness ratio of the beam on the dynamic/quasi-static performances of the beam are examined. It is shown that the quasi-static deflections of the saturated poroelastic beam possess a creep behavior similar to that of viscoelastic beams. In dynamic responses, with the increase of the slenderness ratio, the vibration periods and amplitudes of the deflections at the free end increase, and the time needed for deflections approaching to their stationary values also increases. Moreover, with the increase of the interaction coefficient, the vibrations of the beam deflections decay more strongly, and, eventually, the deflections of the saturated poroelastic beam converge to the static deflections of the classic single phase Timoshenko beam.

摘 要：动力学显式算法采用时间积分原理,其较静力学隐式算法在强非线性问题中的适用性更广。为将此方法应用到岩土等非线性材料的计算中,考虑到显式算法中动能的影响会导致结果波动,分析动力学显式算法在模拟计算中的准静态加载速度的选取十分必要,如何在缩短模拟消耗时间与结果准确性之间寻求平衡是本文研究重点。研究中提出以加载-位移曲线的波动比来评价准静态计算效果,首先开展弹性材料的平面应变模拟试验以分析弹模、密度、泊松比、围压4个参数对准静态加载速度取值的影响,结果表明：弹模、泊松比、围压的增大会提高准静态加载速度;密度的增大则会减小准静态加载速度。通过对各影响因素与准静态加载速度的相关性分析给出了准静态加载速度取值的经验公式。最后,选取能够反映砂土复杂力学特性的弹塑性本构模型,开展其平面应变模拟试验,对比分析准静态加载速度经验公式在弹性材料与弹塑性材料中的适用性差异,并提出应用建议公式。

基于损伤-虚拟张拉裂纹模型的地下爆炸围岩破坏规律研究

Stress intensity factors for cracks in grooved rolls used for hot-rolling

A procedure is described for the calculation of stress intensity factors for surface cracks in a section roll. Results are given in terms of the load acting on the roll and the average pressure acting on the roll/workpiece interface. It is noted that the load acting on the roll can be determined for individual cases by experimentally measuring the deformation of the roll stands: this obviates the necessity of relying on theoretical estimates of the roll/workpiece pressure. The stresses in the uncracked roll are determined using an axisymmetric finite element model. However, for the subsequent calculation of stress intensity factors the analysis is reduced to a plane strain model. It is shown that it may not be necessary to carry out finite element stress analyses on cracked rolls to determine stress intensity factors.     

Interaction effects of multiple damage mechanisms in composite sandwich beams subject to time dependent loading

Theoretical models are formulated to explain evolution and interaction of the damage mechanisms for multiple delamination of the face-sheet and core crushing in composite sandwich beams subjected to dynamically applied out-of-plane loading and continuously supported by rigid planes. The models are based on simplified one-dimensional formulations and describe the impacted face of the sandwich as a set of Timoshenko beams joined by cohesive interfaces and resting on a nonlinear Winkler foundation, which approximates the response of the core; the dimensionless formulation highlights the material/structure groups that control the mechanical response. The characteristic features of the problem and transitions in damage progression are explored on varying geometrical parameters and material properties and magnitude and duration of the applied load. For quasi-static loading and low velocity impact, core/face-sheet interactions generate energy barriers to the propagation of delaminations; the efficacy of the barriers in controlling damage in the face-sheets depends on the relative stiffnesses of face-sheet and core and on the foundation yielding strength. For dynamic loading conditions, significant dynamic effects arise in certain regimes and cause substantial changes in behavior: shielding of the crack tip stress fields provided by the foundation is reduced, especially after the load is removed when important delamination openings occur; core plasticity generally opposes this behavior and limits damage in the face-sheet.

Dynamic Subsurface Deformation and Strain of Soft Hydrogel Interfaces Using an Embedded Speckle Pattern With 2D Digital Image Correlation

Background

Subsurface mechanisms can greatly affect the mechanical behavior of biological materials, but observation of these mechanisms has remained elusive primarily due to unfavorable optical characteristics. Researchers attempt to overcome these limitations by performing experiments in biological mimics like hydrogels, but measurements are generally restricted due to the spatio-temporal limitations of current methods.

Objective

Utilization of contemporary 3D printing techniques into soft, transparent, aqueous yield-stress materials have opened new avenues of approach to overcoming these roadblocks. By incorporating digital image correlation with such 3D printing techniques, a method is shown here that can acquire full-field deformation of a hydrogel subsurface in real-time.

Methods

Briefly, the method replaces the solvent of a transparent and low polymer concentration yield-stress material with an aqueous hydrogel precursor solution, then a DIC speckle plane is 3D printed into it. This complex is then polymerized using photoinitiation thereby locking the speckle plane in place.

Results

Full-field deformation measurements are made in real-time as the embedded speckle plane (ESP) responds with the bulk to the applied load. Example results of deformation and strain fields associated with indentation, relaxation, and sliding contact experiments are shown.

Conclusions

This method has successfully observed the subsurface mechanical response in the bulk of a hydrogel and has the potential to answer fundamental questions regarding biological material mechanical behaviors.
