含微孔洞脆性材料的冲击响应特性与介观演化机制

微孔洞显著地影响着脆性材料的冲击响应,理解其介观演化机制和宏观响应规律将使微孔洞有利于而无害于脆性材料的工程应用.通过建立能够准确表现材料弹性性质和断裂演化的格点-弹簧模型,本文揭示了孔洞的演化对于脆性材料的影响.冲击下孔洞导致的塌缩变形和从孔洞发射的剪切裂纹所导致的滑移变形产生了显著的应力松弛,并调制了冲击波的传播.在多孔脆性材料中,冲击波逐渐展宽为弹性波和变形波.变形波在宏观上类似于延性金属材料的塑性波,在介观上对应于塌缩变形和滑移变形过程.样品中的气孔率决定了脆性材料的弹性极限,气孔率和冲击应力共同影响着变形波的传播速度和冲击终态的应力幅值.含微孔洞脆性材料在冲击波复杂加载实验、功能材料失效的预防、建筑物防护等方面具有潜在的应用价值.所获得的冲击响应规律有助于针对特定应用优化设计脆性材料的冲击响应和动态力学性能.

Numerical Simulation of Dust Void Evolution in Complex Plasmas with Ionization Effect

We develop the nonlinear theory of dust voids [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90 （2003） 075001], focusing particularly on effects of the ionization, to investigate numerically the void evolution under cylindrical coordinates [Phys. Plasmas 13 （2006） 064502]. The ion velocity profile is solved by a more accurate ion motion equation with the ion convection and ionization terms. It is shown that the differences between the previous result and the one obtained with ionizations are significant for the distributions of the ion and dust velocities, the dust density, and etc., in the void formation process. Furthermore, the ionization can slow down the void formation process effectively.     

Three-dimensional phase field microelasticity theory of a multivoid multicrack system in an elastically anisotropic body: Model and computer simulations

The phase field microelasticity theory of a three-dimensional, elastically anisotropic system of voids and cracks is proposed. The theory is based on the equation for the strain energy of the continuous elastically homogeneous body presented as a functional of the phase field, which is the effective stress-free strain. It is proved that the stress-free strain minimizing the strain energy of this homogeneous modulus body fully determines the elastic strain and displacement of the body with voids and/or cracks. The proposed phase field integral equation describing the elasticity of an arbitrary system of voids and cracks is exact. The geometry and evolution of multiple voids and/or cracks are described by the phase field, which is the solution of the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. Other defects, such as dislocations and precipitates, are trivially integrated into this theory. The proposed model does not impose a priori constraints on possible void and crack configurations or their evolution paths. Examples of computations of elastic equilibrium of systems with voids and/or cracks and the evolution of cracks under applied stress are considered.     

Electrochemical effects of isolated voids in uranium dioxide

We present a model to study the electrochemical effects of voids in oxide materials under equilibrium conditions and apply this model to uranium dioxide. Based on thermodynamic arguments, we claim that voids in uranium dioxide must contain oxygen gas at a pressure that we determine via a Kelvin equation in terms of temperature, void radius and the oxygen pressure of the outside gas reservoir in equilibrium with the oxide. The oxygen gas within a void gives rise to ionosorption and the formation of a layer of surface-charge on the void surface, which, in turn, induces an influence zone of space charge into the matrix surrounding the void. Since the space charge is carried in part by atomic defects, it is concluded that, as a part of the thermodynamic equilibrium of oxides containing voids, the off-stoichiometry around the void is different from its remote bulk value. As such, in a uranium dioxide solid with a void ensemble, the average off-stoichiometry level in the material differs from that of the void-free counterpart. The model is applied to isolated voids in off-stoichiometric uranium dioxide for a wide range of temperature and disorder state of the oxide.     

Atomic collision cascades on void evolution in vanadium

Molecular dynamics simulations were performed to study void evolution subject to unidirectional self-bombardment and radiation-induced variation of mechanical properties in single crystalline vanadium. 3D simulation cells of perfect body-centered cubic (BCC) vanadium, as well as those with one, two, four, and six voids, were investigated. For the no void case, the maximum number of defects, maximum volumetric swelling, and the number of defects left in bulk after a sufficiently long recovery period increased with higher primary recoil energy. For the cases containing voids, a primary recoil energy was carefully assigned to an atom so as to initiate a dense collision spike in the voids center, where some self-interstitial atoms gained kinetic energy by secondary replacement collision sequence traveling along the ? 111? direction. It is found that the larger or the greater the number of voids contained initially in the box, the larger the normalized void volume, and the smaller the volumetric swelling after sufficient recovery of systems. In the single void case, the void became elongated along the bombarding direction; in the multiple void cases, the voids coalesced only when the intervoid ligament distance was short. After sufficient relaxation of the irradiated specimen, a hydrostatic tension was exerted on the box, where the voids were treated as dislocation sources. It is shown that with higher primary recoil energy, the yield stress dropped in cases with smaller or fewer voids but rose in those with larger or greater number of voids. This radiation-induced softening to hardening transition with increasing dislocation density can be attributed to the combined effects of the defect-induced dislocation nucleation and the resistance of defects to dislocation motion. Moreover, as the primary recoil energy increased, the ductility of vanadium in the no void case decreased, but was only slightly changed in the cases containing void.     

Influence of Defects and Crystallographic Orientation on Mechanical Behavior of Nanocrystalline Aluminium

Simulation of molecular dynamics using Embedded Atom Method (EAM) potentials is performed to investigate the mechanical properties of single crystal Al along various crystallographic orientations under tensile loading. The specimens are provided with one or two embedded circular voids to analyze the damage evolution by void growth and coalescence. The simulation result shows that the Young's modulus, yielding stress and ultimate stress decrease with the emergence of the voids. Besides, the simulations show that the single-crystal Al in different crystallographic orientations behaves differently in elongation deformations. The single-crystal Al with <100> crystallographic orientations has greater ductility than other orientated specimens. The incipient plastic deformation and the stress-strain curves are presented and discussed for further understanding of the mechanical properties of single-crystal Al.
