Q235钢缺口试样拉压低循环疲劳的实验研究

以Q235钢制U型缺口板试样为研究对象,用有限元方法计算其缺口根部等效应变幅对应的试样标距段位移,以此控制试验机进行拉压循环疲劳试验。然后用局部应力应变法对试验测得的寿命结果进行分析。结果表明：无论用有限元还是修正Neuber公式计算缺口根部的应力应变,局部应力应变法的疲劳寿命评估只适用于缺口半径较大的试样;对缺口半径较小试样的估计寿命明显低于实测值,且有限元法比修正Neuber法更保守。进而又对试样缺口区域应变梯度的影响进行了探讨：参照有限元计算的应变梯度,利用Taylor模型估算了缺口根部的屈服应力和流动应力;在此基础上重新计算应变分布并估计试样的疲劳寿命,结果证实考虑应变梯度影响可改善缺口试样的疲劳寿命估计。     

有限厚度板穿透裂纹前缘附近三维弹性应力场分析

通过三维有限元计算来研究有限宽度、有限厚度含有穿透裂纹板的裂纹前缘应力场，从中找出应力强度因子与板的厚度、裂纹长度之间的关系，同时还分析了裂尖的三维约束程度和三维约束区的大小。分析结果表明：应力强度因子沿厚度的分布是不均匀的，应力强度因子的最大值及其位置与厚度有关；有限厚度板中面应力强度因子(KI)m-p及最大应力强度因子(KI)max均大于平面应力或平面应变的应力强度因子。对有限厚度裂纹问题，按平面应力或平面应变来考虑是不安全的；板中面的应力强度因子(KI)m-p及最大应力强度因子(KI)max是厚度B／a的函数；板的中面离面约束系数Tx最大，自由面(z=B)Tx=0。沿厚度方向裂尖附近的离面约束系数Tx也是z／B和B／a的函数，随着厚度的增加离面约束系数Tx增大，离中面越近离面约束系数Tx越大。Tx随着x的增大急剧减小，三维约束影响区域大小大约为板厚的一半，且裂纹长度a／W对应力强度因子沿厚度变化规律及Tx影响区域大小影响较小。     

Stress concentration around a hole in a radially inhomogeneous plate

The stress concentration factor around a circular hole in an infinite plate subjected to uniform biaxial tension and pure shear is considered. The plate is made of a functionally graded material where both Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio vary in the radial direction. For plane stress conditions, the governing differential equation for the stress function is derived and solved. A general form for the stress concentration factor in case of biaxial tension is presented. Using a Frobenius series solution, the stress concentration factor is calculated for pure shear case. The stress concentration factor for uniaxial tension is then obtained by superposition of these two modes. The effect of nonhomogeneous stiffness and varying Poisson’s ratio upon the stress concentration factors are analyzed. A reasonable approximation in the practical range of Young’s modulus is obtained for the stress concentration factor in pure shear loading.

Elastic stress distributions for hyperbolic and parabolic notches in round shafts under torsion and uniform antiplane shear loadings

Closed-form solutions are developed for the stress fields induced by circumferential hyperbolic and parabolic notches in axisymmetric shafts under torsion and uniform antiplane shear loading. The boundary value problem is formulated by using complex potential functions and two different coordinate systems, providing two classes of solutions. It is also demonstrated that some solutions of linear elastic fracture and notch mechanics reported in the literature can be derived as special cases of the general solutions proposed herein.Finally the analytical frame is used to link the Mode III notch stress intensity factor to the maximum shear stress at the notch tip, as well as to give closed-form expressions for the strain energy averaged over a finite size volume surrounding the notch root.     

Experimental Research into Fracture of EN-AW 2024 and EW-AW 2007 Aluminum Alloy Specimens with Notches Subjected to Tension

The paper presents the results of experimental tests of elasto-plastic fracture of axially symmetric specimens with circumferential notches with various round notch radii at the notch’s root. The tests were conducted for two materials: EN-AW 2024 and EN-AW 2007 aluminum alloys. The specimens were subjected to monotonic uniaxial tensile test. Special attention was paid to the shape of the fracture surface, the change of critical force value and the maximum displacement, depending on the shape of the notch. Additionally, hardening curves are presented for the adopted materials and the results of Finite Element calculations of stress and strain fields in the specimens with different notch radii.

应用双重正弦级数展开的方法,推演得到了文克勒地基上计入两块矩形板间接缝传荷效应的级数解。假设接缝传递剪力与板间挠度差成正比、传递弯矩与板间转角差成正比,进而分析了单轮和单轴荷载作用在纵缝边缘中部时,接缝传荷效应对板边最大挠度和最大应力的影响规律;通过引入接缝传荷效应系数和接缝极限传荷的两个挠度比及两个应力比,建立了计入接缝传荷效应的板边最大挠度和最大应力的一般式,总结了不同板尺寸、荷载面积尺寸和类型及板材料泊松比对四个接缝影响系数和四个接缝极限传荷的挠度比及应力比的影响规律。结果表明:不同荷载面积下,受荷板接缝边缘最大挠度、最大应力均随弯矩或剪力传荷刚度系数的增大而减小,且应力的变化幅度相较挠度要小。影响系数fV^w(ξV)、fM^w(ξM)、fM^σ(ξM)与荷载圆相对半径(a/l)、相对板长(L/l)和相对板宽(B/l)无关,且单轮荷载与双轮荷载规律相同;而影响系数fV^σ(ξV)与荷载圆相对半径(a/l)有关,与相对板长(L/l)和相对板宽(B/l)无关;挠度比λV^w与荷载圆相对半径、板尺寸(L/l,B/l)及泊松比v无关,恒等于0.5,而λM^w、λV^σ、λM^σ均与荷载相对半径(a/l)、板尺寸(L/l,B/l)及泊松比v有关,且影响因素中荷载面积尺寸的影响最为显著。     

Stress concentration factor due to a functionally graded ring around a hole in an isotropic plate

The aim of this work is to present an analytical solution to reduce the stress concentration factor (SCF) around a circular hole in an isotropic homogeneous plate subjected to far-field uniaxial loading. In this paper the elastic response of an inhomogeneous annular ring made of functionally graded material (FGM), inserted around a hole of a homogeneous plate, is studied. By assuming that Young’s modulus varies in the radial direction with power law and that Poisson’s ratio is constant, the governing differential equations for plane stress conditions are obtained. Using stress function a general solution in explicit closed form is presented and the SCF investigated to highlight the inhomogeneity effects. Furthermore, the explicit solution for an inner homogeneous ring, with different properties with respect to those of the plate, is explicitly obtained and numerical results are compared between homogeneous ring and FGM ring.     

Notch strengthening in titanium aluminides under monotonic loading

An important concern for titanium aluminides is their limited ductility and its consequences for TiAl components containing stress concentrators. In recent experiments, evidence of notch strengthening has been found in one TiAl alloy under monotonic loading. The goal of this study is to fully explore this issue through tests on two cast alloys, one with a microstructure consisting of predominantly equiaxed gamma grains and the other having a fully lamellar microstructure. Tests involve monotonic tensile loading of notched specimens at room temperature under conditions of plane stress, where the notch radii are large relative to grain size. For each material, results from the testing of three notched specimen geometries are presented and finite element models are used to interpret the test results. This includes using the numerical models to apply Weibull statistical methods to predict notch strengthening in the specimens. It is shown that notch strengthening is clearly seen in both alloys tested and thus is likely to be a characteristic of TiAl alloys in general; however, strengthening is not as great as would be predicted by Weibull statistical methods as applied to brittle materials.     

The effect of load biaxiality on crack growth in non-linear materials

The influence of load biaxiality on the stress field and fracture behavior of a cracked plate is investigated. Considered is a square plate containing a central through the thickness crack and subjected to a biaxial loading perpendicular and parallel to the crack plane. The stress field of the plate is analyzed by a finite element code based on incremental plasticity and the von Mises yield condition. A method based on the strain energy density theory is used to determine the critical stress for crack initiation. It was found that the equi-biaxial loading mode induces the smallest plastic zones, while the critical applied stress for crack initiation becomes maximum. Quite the contrary happens for the shear loading system which causes the largest plastic zones and the minimum applied stress values fro crack growth. Results showing the dependence of the above quantities on the biaxiality of the applied stress are presented in graphical form.

Two-dimensional analysis of progressive delamination in thin film electrodes

By employing the two-dimensional analysis, i.e., plane strain and plane stress, a semi-analytical method is developed to investigate the interfacial delamination in electrodes. The key parameters are obtained from the governing equations, and their effects on the evolution of the delamination are evaluated. The impact of constraint perpendicular to the plane is also investigated by comparing the plane strain and plane stress. It is found that the delamination in the plane strain condition occurs easier, indicating that the constraint is harmful to maintain the structure stability. According to the obtained governing equations, a formula of the dimensionless critical size for delamination is provided, which is a function of the maximum volumetric strain and the Poisson’s ratio of the active layer.     

An Application of the Kane and Mindlin Theory to Crack Problems in Plates of Arbitrary Thickness

Classical plane solutions of the theory of elasticity, which are sometimes more than 100 years old, are still used today and provide a framework for the analysis of many practical problems. But, strictly speaking, these analytical solutions are only applicable to plates with vanishing thickness or infinite thickness, where the stress state could be classified as plane stress or plane strain, respectively. However, the through-the-thickness stresses that exist in a plate of given thickness have a significant impact in a number of practical applications; and these stresses are often inevitably ignored due to the lack of analytical tools. This paper presents new analytical results for crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) for the through-the-thickness crack in infinite plates with various thicknesses. These results are based on the solution for an edge dislocation in infinite plate of arbitrary thickness and an application of the distributed dislocation technique. The analytical predictions of the CTOD and the constraint factor are compared with the three-dimensional elasto-plastic finite element (FE) results. It is shown that both analytical and numerical results are in good agreement when the numerical calculations are not affected by the size of the FE mesh and by the boundaries of the FE model.     

A new version of the Neuber rule accounting for the influence of the notch opening angle for out-of-plane shear loads

The paper deals with nonlinear stress and strain distributions at the root of sharp and rounded notches with different opening angles under antiplane shear loading and small scale yielding. In order to make an easier comparison with the Neuber rule, the material is thought of as obeying the particular nonlinear law used in the past just by Neuber.By solving the linear differential equation resulting from the use of the hodograph transformation, a new relationship linking linear and nonlinear stress and strain concentrations is found. The relationship is written also in terms of the relevant notch stress intensity factors. In contrast with the Neuber rule, this relationship strictly depends on the notch opening angle. Even when the notch opening angle is zero, it does not match the Neuber Rule, but results in an additional factor 2 which is in agreement with Hult and McClintock’s solution when the notch tip radius tends to zero and the notch becomes a crack.     

On the displacement potential solution of plane problems of structural mechanics with mixed boundary conditions

The present paper describes the advancement of displacement potential approach in relation to solution of plane problems of structural mechanics with mixed mode of boundary conditions. Both the conditions of the plane stress and the plane strain are considered for analyzing the displacement and stress fields of the structural problem. Using the finite difference technique based on the present displacement potential approach for the case of the plane stress and the plane strain conditions, firstly an elastic cantilever beam subjected to a pure shear at its tip is solved and these two solutions (plane stress and plane strain) are compared with Timoshenko and Goodier cantilever beam bending solutions (Theory of elasticity, 2nd edn. McGraw-Hill, New York, 1951); secondly the above-mentioned displacement potential approach for the case of the plane stress and the plane strain conditions are applied to solve a one-end fixed square plate subjected to a combined loading at its tip. Effects of plane stress and plane strain on the elastic field of the plate are discussed in a comparative fashion. Limitations of Timoshenko and Goodier cantilever beam bending solutions (Theory of elasticity, 2nd edn. McGraw-Hill, New York, 1951) over the displacement potential approach for the case of the plane stress and the plane strain conditions are not only discussed but also the superiority of the present displacement potential approach for the case of the plane stress and the plane strain conditions are reflected in the present research work.     

The dynamic behaviour of sharp V-notches under impact loading

The dynamic behaviour of sharp V-notches which are either symmetric or oblique to the longitudinal boundary of a homogeneous elastic and isotropic strip subjected to an impact plane pulse was studied by the method of caustics. The stress pulse impinging on the flanks of the notch reflects and diffracts in different ways depending on the geometry of the notch relative to the coming pulse. For compressive stress pulses a stress concentration at the bottom of the notch does not create a crack propagation phenomenon, whereas for tensile pulses there is a possibility for an incubation, nucleation and eventual propagation of a crack. A complete experimental study of the incubation nucleation and propagation of cracks from the bottoms of notches in thin strips under tensile stress pulses was undertaken, whereas for compressive stress pulses the stress concentration at the bottom of the notch was evaluated. Interesting results were disclosed concerning the reinforcement of pulses by reflection and caging in, the evolution of stress concentration at the notch and the mode of crack propagation inside the plate. Dynamic stress intensity factors were evaluated all over the paths of crack propagation indicating a close intimacy between crack velocity and values of SIFs.

Geometric functions of stress intensity factor solutions for spot welds in lap-shear specimens

In this paper, the stress intensity factor solutions for spot welds in lap-shear specimens are investigated by finite element analyses. Three-dimensional finite element models are developed for lap-shear specimens to obtain accurate stress intensity factor solutions. In contrast to the existing investigations of the stress intensity factor solutions based on the finite element analyses, various ratios of the sheet thickness, the half specimen width, the overlap length, and the specimen length to the nugget radius are considered in this investigation. The computational results confirm the functional dependence on the nugget radius and sheet thickness of the stress intensity factor solutions of [Zhang, S., 1997. Stress intensities at spot welds. International Journal of Fracture 88, 167–185; Zhang, S., 1999. Approximate stress intensity factors and notch stresses for common spot-welded specimens. Welding Journal 78, 173s–179s]. The computational results provide some geometric functions in terms of the normalized specimen width, the normalized overlap length, and the normalized specimen length to the stress intensity factor solutions of [Zhang, S., 1997. Stress intensities at spot welds. International Journal of Fracture 88, 167–185; Zhang, S., 1999. Approximate stress intensity factors and notch stresses for common spot-welded specimens. Welding Journal 78, 173s–179s] for lap-shear specimens. The computational results also indicate that when the spacing between spot welds decreases, the mode I stress intensity factor solution at the critical locations increases and the mode mixture of the stress intensity factors changes consequently. Finally, based on the analytical and computational results, the dimensions of lap-shear specimens and the corresponding approximate stress intensity factor solutions are suggested.

Analytical representation of the non-square-root singular stress field at a finite angle sharp notch

The stress field near the tip of a finite angle sharp notch is singular. However, unlike a crack, the order of the singularity at the notch tip is less than one-half. Under tensile loading, such a singularity is characterized by a generalized stress intensity factor which is analogous to the mode I stress intensity factor used in fracture mechanics, but which has order less than one-half. By using a cohesive zone model for a notional crack emanating from the notch tip, we relate the critical value of the generalized stress intensity factor to the fracture toughness. The results show that this relation depends not only on the notch angle, but also on the maximum stress of the cohesive zone model. As expected the dependence on that maximum stress vanishes as the notch angle approaches zero. The results of this analysis compare very well with a numerical (finite element) analysis in the literature. For mixed-mode loading the limits of applicability of using a mode I failure criterion are explored.
