弯曲及拉伸荷载作用下的钢管抗压溃性能研究

钢管在海洋油气资源开发中应用广泛,一般依据在位应用时的荷载进行设计,设计理论较为成熟。但在某些安装工况中的拉伸和弯曲荷载与在位荷载具有相同的量级,此时钢管的设计需要考虑安装荷载的影响。本文针对钢管在承受拉伸和弯曲荷载下的抗外压压溃性能开展研究。基于商业软件ABAQUS建立有限元模型,开展钢管压溃实验与带有弯曲荷载下的钢管压溃实验验证有限元模型的正确性,进而利用验证后的数值模型讨论拉伸、弯曲荷载和两者联合作用下对管道抗外压压溃性能的影响。结果表明,弯曲荷载是影响抗压溃性能的重要因素,弯曲荷载的增加都会使极限压溃值显著下降。管道所受拉伸荷载对抗压溃性能有一定的影响,但影响很小,在两者共同作用下极限压溃值随弯曲荷载的增加都出现先增大后减小的现象,而且极值的位置与拉伸荷载的大小和弯曲荷载有关。因此,在抗压溃设计中应重点考虑弯曲荷载对压溃的影响,可忽略拉伸荷载的影响。本文可为海洋管道的安装起到指导作用。     

Energy absorption behavior of stiffness optimized graded lattice structures fabricated by material extrusion

The objective of this study is to investigate the energy absorption performance of the graded lattice energy absorbers designed by a stiffness-based size optimization process under static loadings applied during the in-service conditions. The energy absorber geometry is modeled using three different lattice types, namely complex cubic, octet cubic, face- and body-centered cubic. The stiffness-based size optimization subjected to a static bending load is conducted to determine the optimal strut diameters which produced graded lattice structure designs. To investigate the energy absorption behavior of these graded lattice designs, the nonlinear dynamic explicit finite element analysis (FEA) is conducted under quasi-static compression for each design. The lattice designs are fabricated by a material extrusion technique using the polylactic acid material and the quasi-static uniaxial compression tests are conducted on the fabricated designs. The FEA results are found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. When compared with uniform counterparts, the presented graded lattices exhibit the improved energy absorption in response to uniaxial compression although their designs were derived from a stiffness-based size optimization with bending load.

     

Experimental techniques for testing unstiffened plates in compression and bending

We present details of a dual-actuator rig developed for testing rectangular plates supported on three sides, with the remaining (longitudinal) edge free, under combined uniaxial compression and in-plane bending. Particular attention is given to ensuring a constant strain gradient at the loaded ends, as opposed to a constant load eccentricity, in order to determine the post-buckling behavior and ultimate load and moment capacities of unstiffened thin-walled elements. Strain gradients varying from pure compression to pure bending are facilitated. Attention is also given to ensuring simply supported boundary conditions, and the methods used for anchoring the tensile stresses that develop at the loaded edges as a result of large plate deflections. Details of the methods for controlling the applied displacements are given, for which a system of four laser displacement devices was employed in order to achieve the required strain gradient. The operation of the rig is verified against established theoretical solutions.     

Stability and second-order non-linear analysis of 2D multi-column systems with semirigid connections: Effects of initial imperfections

An analytical method and closed-form equations that evaluate the elastic stability and second-order response of 2D multi-column systems with initial geometric imperfections (i.e., columns with initial curvature or out-of-straightness and out-of-plumbness in the plane of bending) and semirigid connections subjected to eccentric axial loads and to a lateral load at the top floor level are derived in a classical manner. The proposed method is based on the Euler–Bernoulli theory and limited to 2D multi-column systems with sidesway uninhibited or partially inhibited subjected to gravity loads. The combined effects of initial imperfections and semirigid connections in the plane of bending are condensed into the proposed equations, which can also be used to evaluate the induced elastic bending moments and second-order deflections along each column member of a multi-column system as the lateral and axial loads are applied. The effects of torsion, shear and axial deformations along each column and out-of-plane deformations are not included. Three examples are presented in detail that demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the corresponding closed form equations showing the importance of initial imperfections, semirigid connections and lateral bracing on the stability and second-order behavior of multi-column systems.     

腹板开孔的冷弯槽形轴压构件试验研究

腹板开孔是冷弯薄壁构件中一个较新的构造形式。孔的存在导致薄膜应力的重新分布,影响构件的屈曲特性和承载能力,使得无孔构件的分析与设计公式不再适用于开孔构件,因此有必要研究开孔构件。本文选取冷弯薄壁型钢中主要的承力构件形式卷边槽钢构件,对两端简支、腹板开单孔的中长柱进行了轴心受力性能的试验研究,对比进行了未开孔构件的试验。通过对比发现两类构件的受力特性有着明显的差异,开孔构件的承载力有所降低。将两类构件的试验结果分别与理论分析、ANSYS模拟结果进行对比和分析,讨论了两类构件受力性能及承载力不同的原因。根据不同开孔尺寸试件的试验结果可知,开孔构件的极限承载力随着开孔高度、宽度的增大而下降。

Approximation of yield condition for the hysteretic behavior of a bar under repeated axial loading

This paper is concerned with the hysteretic behavior of a prismatic bar subjected to repeated axial loading. Elastic-perfectly plastic behavior is assumed in the analysis under the combined action of axial force and bending moment. The fully plastic states in pure bending and in pure tension and compression are bilinearly interpolated to serve as the yield condition; linearly interacted regimes are combined with interactionless regimes of pure bending to form the yield hexagon, which is a modification of a previously assumed yield quadrangle. Basic equations are derived through the analysis, expressed in a simple analytic closed form, and are able to determine the load-deformation relationship of the bar for any specified history of axial loading.As a result of the analysis it follows that due to the load cycle of tension and compression an initially straight and plastically bent bar undergoes a plastic extension upon the recovery of the straight configuration. This is the balanced axial deformation at a yield hinge between extension and contraction, taking place during the cycle of hinge rotation. Another characteristic feature found is that cyclic alternate displacement loading with large amplitude leads to a steady state after some repeated deterioration of processes. Comparison is made of the load-axial displacement relation between the analytical and experimental results to show reasonable agreement, with discussions extended to the appropriateness of the form of the yield condition.     

Photoelasto-plastic analysis of notched-bar configuration subjected to bending

Knowledge of the three-dimensional stress distribution near a notch for a strain-hardening material in an elasto-plastic state is limited, to say the least. This experimental investigation is concerned with obtaining some insight concerning the three0dimensional elastoplastic stress distributions and the associated plastic-zone sizes. A notched-bar configuration (scaled-up Charpy specimen) subjected to flexure was selected for this purpose. The three-dimensional elasto-plastic stress distributions were determined along the plane of symmetry adjacent to the notch for two levels of applied bending moment. The experimental-stress-analysis method utilizes the creep and frozen-stress characteristics of an epoxy resin when subjected to a thermal cycle whose maximum temperature is significantly less than the critical temperature of the model material. The resulting frozenstress-strain behavior is characterized by the generation of a nonlinear effective stress-strain curve. This effective stress-strain curve was generated by subjecting uniaxial tensile specimens to constant stress and the appropriate thermal cycle. Also, an effective birefringence-stress curve was obtained from these tensile specimens (calibration). Then the notched-bar configuration was subjected to the thermal cycle and an applied bending moment which would develop a plastic zone (determined by using a distortion-energy-yield criteria). The stress distributions were determined from photomechanical analysis of the slices removed from the model.     

石英玻璃圆环高速膨胀碎裂过程的离散元模拟

采用离散元算法模拟了石英玻璃圆环受到外加动态载荷时的力学行为. 首先基于flat-jointed粘结模型,通过标准的单轴拉压、三点弯曲等数值实验来标定了石英玻璃的微观参数. 在此模型基础上,数值模拟再现了石英玻璃圆环在不同应变率下的膨胀碎裂过程. 为定量分析数值模拟结果,需要准确确定圆环的碎裂发生时刻. 模拟发现:伴随着石英玻璃圆环的断裂,圆环外表面粒子径向膨胀速度的时程曲线会发生突然升高然后下降的跳动;详细分析表明,这种跳动源自周向的脆性断裂诱发的卸载波(周向拉伸应力急剧下降)以及伴随而来的泊松膨胀,这种径向速度跳动现象为实验中检测脆性断裂发生时刻提供了可能. 进一步的数值研究表明:(1)石英玻璃圆环的断裂应变随着应变率的提高而增大,与韧性金属材料的膨胀环实验结果一致;(2)石英玻璃圆环的碎片平均质量随着应变率的增大而减小;(3)数值计算获得的碎片平均尺寸与已有的理论和实验结果比较吻合. 利用液压膨胀环实验装置对石英玻璃圆环进行了验证性实验,回收得到的碎片形貌及碎片个数与数值模拟的结果基本一致.      

Random-load fatigue tests on a fail-safe structural model

Experiments performed on a ten-member redundant “fail-safe” structural model subjected to randomized load sequences confirm predictions of fatigue life and reliability based on a probabilistic approach. The statistical variation in ultimate strength of 2024-T4 aluminum alloy combined with an exponentially distributed, Markovian, bending load-amplitude sequence with a constant-amplitude S-N relation for single specimens, is utilized in the analysis. Experimental results are presented for the statistical distribution of ultimate bending strength of 2024-T4 aluminum alloy. Constant load-amplitude flat-bending fatigue tests on single specimens and on multimember structures, and variable-amplitude flat-bending tests on fail-safe structures are reported. Life to failure of the weakest member, as well as the remaining “fail-safe” life in the parallel structure, are examined.     

Concentrated Loads on Light Gauge Steel Diaphragms

ABSTRACT

When a point load is applied within the length of a side of a diaphragm, significant local forces may arise. A theory is developed whereby both the forces induced in the edge fasteners and the bending moments induced in the edge members may be evaluated from simple explicit expressions. This theory is verified by comparison with finite element investigations.

The behavior of sheeting in compression surrounding edge fasteners is investigated experimentally and a simple approach to the resulting buckling failure is derived. Finally, some tests on complete diaphragm assemblies subject to compressive concentrated loads are described and the results compared with the theory.     

Notch sensitivity in nanoscale metallic glass specimens: Insights from continuum simulations

Recent experiments have shown that nano-sized metallic glass (MG) specimens subjected to tensile loading exhibit increased ductility and work hardening. Failure occurs by necking as opposed to shear banding which is seen in bulk samples. Also, the necking is generally observed at shallow notches present on the specimen surface. In this work, continuum finite element analysis of tensile loading of nano-sized notched MG specimens is conducted using a thermodynamically consistent non-local plasticity model to clearly understand the deformation behavior from a mechanics perspective. It is found that plastic zone size in front of the notch attains a saturation level at the stage when a dominant shear band forms extending across the specimen. This size scales with an intrinsic material length associated with the interaction stress between flow defects. A transition in deformation behavior from quasi-brittle to ductile becomes possible when this critical plastic zone size is larger than the uncracked ligament length. These observations corroborate with atomistic simulations and experimental results.     

爆炸荷载作用下模型介质裂纹扩展试验与分析

为研究爆炸载荷作用下裂隙介质裂纹扩展规律,以含人工裂隙的有机玻璃薄板为介质,分别以炮孔中心到人工裂隙垂直距离L和人工裂隙长度D为变量,采用单发雷管爆炸加载试验模型进行试验。试验结果表明,爆炸荷载作用将使裂隙介质形成径向裂纹、翼裂纹、层裂裂纹和似层裂裂纹;人工裂隙能够阻隔径向裂纹的扩展,径向裂纹的扩展对距离L比长度D更敏感;翼裂纹是爆炸绕射波或绕射波与压缩应力波共同作用产生的,翼裂纹的长度随距离L增加而降低;入射压缩应力波与反射拉伸应力波叠加形成的净拉伸应力拉裂介质形成层裂效应、引起径向裂纹弯曲形成似层裂效应,层裂裂纹和似层裂裂纹几乎平行于人工裂隙。研究结果可为裂隙岩体爆破设计、冲击矿压防治和结构工程防护等提供理论依据。     

Analysis of crack extension in anisotropic materials based on local normal stress

The normal stress ratio theory is applied to predict crack extension behavior in center-notched unidirectional graphite-epoxy of arbitrary fiber axis orientation, subjected to arbitrary far-field planar loading. The theory is applied within analytical solutions for two infinite plate geometries: a plate with a sharp center crack, and a plate with an elliptical center flaw. A critical analytical case is identified suggesting that application of the theory within a stress solution modelling crack tip shape may increase the accuracy of crack growth direction predictions. Crack extension direction, location of crack extension, and critical stress predictions of the theory are compared to those obtained from experiments on specimens subjected to tensile, shear, and mixed-mode far-field loading. The comparison shows that, applied within each analytical solution, the normal stress ratio theory provides verifiable predictions of crack growth behavior. By modelling actual notch tip shape, the elliptical notch solution is able to provide accurate qualitative predictions of the origin of crack extension along the periphery of a cut notch tip in a way that the sharp crack analysis cannot. The sharp notch solution appears to provide slightly more accurate crack growth direction predictions, however. Also, in predicting critical applied far-field stresses, the sharp crack solution appears to exhibit a stronger ability to model subtle experimental trends.

The in-situ fatigue testing of a cast aluminum-silicon alloy

The study reported in this paper deals with the experimental determination of the effect of the two-phase microstructure of an aluminum-silicon alloy on the propagation of fatigue-induced fracture. The work involved the use of a computerized apparatus which applied four-point bending loads to test specimens inside the vacuum chamber of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The use of the SEM allowed for the in-situ monitoring of the progression of the fatigue crack with respect to the microstructure of the material.A constant load amplitude fatigue test was established for the experimental system and an analytic model is proposed to predict the growth of the crack in the specimen using compliance measurements. In-situ tests were performed on a variety of test aluminum-silicon alloy specimens. Preliminary results show that a relationship exists between the silicon phase in the aluminum matrix and propagating fatigue crack. Data from these tests were used to evaluate both the model mentioned above and an analytic relation for the stress intensity factor for a beam containing a crack subjected to four-point bending.     

On the crushing of aluminum open-cell foams: Part I. Experiments

This two-part study is concerned with the understanding and modeling of the compressive response of open-cell metallic foams. Part I presents experimental results from Al-6101-T6 foams of three different cell sizes with relative densities of about 8%. X-ray tomography is first used to characterize the geometry of the microstructure. The cells are irregular polyhedra of nearly uniform size that are somewhat elongated in one direction. The ligaments are nearly straight with convex, three-sided cross-sections and variable area distribution along their length. Foam specimens were compressed at slow displacement rates along the rise and transverse directions and the evolution of crushing in the specimens was monitored using X-ray tomography. In both directions, the response is initially nearly linear, terminating into a limit load that is followed by an extensive load plateau. At an average strain of about 55% the load increases monotonically again due to densification. The limit load is caused by plastification due to combined compression and bending of the ligaments. Beyond this point, cells start to buckle and collapse locally, forming bands that cover the full cross-section of the specimen. Contact of the collapsing cells arrests local deformation triggering collapse in neighboring cells. In this manner, crushing gradually spreads throughout the specimen and when this is achieved the load required for further deformation starts to rise. The initial elastic modulus, the stresses at the limit load and the plateau and the extent of the plateau have been measured as a function of relative density for both directions. The stress–displacement response in the transverse direction is generally somewhat lower than in the rise direction but the prevalent events were found to be similar in the two directions.     

Edge-compression fixture for buckling studies of corrugated board panels

A test fixture, developed for evaluating the preand postbuckling response of simply supported, nearly flat, rectangular corrugated board panels subjected to edge compression is evaluated. The test fixture enables loading of panels into the postbuckling regime until collapse. The shadowmoiré method verified that buckling in the first mode occurred, and that there was symmetry of the adge-boundary conditions. Through an iterative regression model, experimental curves of load versus out-of-plane displacement for isotropic panels were fitted to an equation governing the nonlinear postbuckling response. This method provides the critical buckling load, a postbuckling parameter and the amplitude of initial imperfection of the panel. Comparison with analytical results revealed that simply supported boundary conditions were closely achieved. Examination of compressively loaded corrugated board panels showed that collapse occurred due to compressive failures of the facings in the highly stressed edge regions without severe influence from stress concentrations at load introduction and edge supports.
