韧性材料J_R阻力曲线受试样尺寸因素影响的实验研究

本文应用不同尺寸的三点弯曲试样和带边侧槽试样,用实验方法研究了启裂J积分(J_(1C))和J_R阻力曲线的斜率(dJ/da)受试样尺寸的影响。结果表明,在满足GB2038-80所规定的试样尺寸要求的条件下,J_(1C)值受试样尺寸影响不大,但DJ/da值受试样尺寸影响较大。因此,在应用以J_R曲线理论为基础的裂纹扩展稳定性评定方法时,如撕裂模量理论及EPRI方法,要应用较大尺寸试样或带侧槽试样来测定J_R阻力曲线。

金属材料三维断裂韧度厚度效应的有限元模拟

随着金属材料大壁厚结构件在工程中的广泛应用,对其断裂韧度的厚度效应研究具有重要的科学意义和工程价值。本研究基于有限元和实验相结合的方法,对金属材料断裂韧度的厚度效应进行预测。首先,通过一组薄壁厚金属材料标准三点弯曲试验得到试样失效时的临界载荷值,并利用内聚力模型与基于虚拟裂纹闭合技术的裂纹扩展模拟方法得到裂纹扩展时的单元临界能量释放率。随后,以此临界能量释放率作为裂纹扩展的启裂准则门槛值,通过有限元计算得到不同试样厚度下裂纹启裂时的裂尖断裂参数随着厚度的变化规律。最后,为了验证有限元模拟结果的准确性,本研究进行了另外两组不同厚度下三点弯曲试样的断裂韧度试验,并将试验结果与有限元结果进行了对比,验证了有限元所模拟的断裂韧度厚度效应的准确性。本研究旨在,通过薄壁厚三点弯曲试样的实验结果结合有限元模拟工作,即可实现金属材料断裂韧度的整个厚度效应曲线,为任意厚度下金属材料断裂韧度预测提供一种可靠的研究方法,有益于缩减试验成本,为大壁厚工程结构件的失效预测提供依据。

Fatigue characterization of tire rubber

An investigation of the fatigue behavior of tire rubber was undertaken. The tire rubber used in this work is a blend of natural rubber and polybutadiene. It is vulcanized and filled with carbon black. Fatigue tests were conducted on edge-notched prismatic specimens subjected to tension–tension loading in a displacement-controlled machine. The maximum strain was 8% and the minimum strain was 0.8%. The waveform of the fatigue cycle was sinusoidal at a frequency of 10 Hz. Initial cracks of various lengths were cut into the edge of the rubber specimens with a sharp razor blade. The tearing energy was calculated during the test. A power law relation between the crack growth rate and tearing energy was obtained. The fatigue life of tire rubber was estimated based on the integration of the power law relations and the tearing energy versus fatigue cycles curves in conjunction with the value of the critical tearing energy at crack growth initiation.     

Strain energy density approach to stable crack extension under net section yielding of aircraft fuselage

In this paper, the incremental theory of plasticity is used in conjunction with the strain energy density criterion to determine the stress field in 4-in. wide test specimens containing 3 holes. These specimens, made from 0.04-in. thick sheets of 2024-T3 aluminum, also contained small collinear cracks emanating from the holes. The initial crack sizes varied from 0.15 to 0.26 in. Residual strength tests conducted with these specimens revealed that stable tearing occurred before failure. Analyses were performed to predict the stable crack extension and failure by plastic collapsed. Because of the complexities involved with nonlinear stress analysis combined with subcritical crack extension, the finite element method was used with the grid pattern adjusted for each increment of stable tearing. Reasonable correlation between the experimental data and predicted results was achieved.     

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.

CTOA and crack-tunneling measurements in thin sheet 2024-T3 aluminum alloy

The stable tearing behavior of 2.3-mm thick sheets of 2024-T3 aluminum alloy was experimentally investigated for middle crack tension specimens having initial flaws that were: (a) flat fatigue cracks (low fatigue stress) and (b) 45-deg through-thickness slant cracks (high fatigue stress). The critical CTOA values during stable tearing were measured by two independent methods, optical microscopy and digital-image correlation. Results from the two methods agree well.The CTOA measurements and observations of the fracture surfaces have shown that the initial stable tearing behavior of low and high fatigue stress tests is significantly different. The cracks in the low fatigue stress tests underwent a transition from flat-to-slant crack growth, during which the CTOA values were high and significant crack tunneling occurred. After crack growth equal to about the thickness (a>B), CTOA reached a constant value of 6 deg and after crack growth equal to about twice the thickness (a>2B), crack tunneling stabilized. The cracks in the high fatigue stress tests reach the same constant CTOA value after crack growth equal to about the thickness, but produced only slightly higher CTOA values during initial crack growth. The amount of tunneling in the high fatigue stress tests was about the same as that in the low fatigue stress tests after the flat-to-slant transition.This study indicates that stress history has an influence on the initial portion of the stable tearing behavior. The initial high CTOA values, in the low fatigue crack tests, coincided with large three-dimensional crack front shape changes due to a variation in the through-thickness crack-tip constraint. The measured CTOA reached a constant value of 6 deg for crack growth of about the specimen thickness. This coincided with the onset of 45-deg slant crack growth and a stabilized, slightly tunneled (about 20 percent of the thickness) crack-front shape. For crack growth on the 45-deg slant, the crack front and local field variables are still highly three dimensional.

The stability of crack growth in a beam subject to combined bending and tensile loadings. II: Beam subject to rotations and lateral displacements at the ends

The stability of crack growth in a beam subject to combined bending and tensile loadings is examined for the case where the material is very ductile and where the beam is built-in at one end. Application of a displacement at the free end, and variation of the angle which the displacement makes with the beam, allows the combined effects of bending and tensile loadings on the stability of crack growth to be assessed. The stability analysis is based on the tearing modulus procedure, and the general conclusion is that tensile loadings can promote crack instability.
