Hydrogels are capable of coupled mass transport and large deformation in response to external stimuli. In this paper, a nonlinear, transient finite element formulation is presented for initial boundary value problems associated with swelling and deformation of hydrogels, based on a nonlinear continuum theory that is consistent with classical theory of linear poroelasticity. A mixed finite element method is implemented with implicit time integration. The incompressible or nearly incompressible behavior at the initial stage imposes a constraint to the finite element discretization in order to satisfy the Ladyzhenskaya–Babuska–Brezzi (LBB) condition for stability of the mixed method, similar to linear poroelasticity as well as incompressible elasticity and Stokes flow; failure to choose an appropriate discretization would result in locking and numerical oscillations in transient analysis. To demonstrate the numerical method, two problems of practical interests are considered: constrained swelling and flat-punch indentation of hydrogel layers. Constrained swelling may lead to instantaneous surface instability for a soft hydrogel in a good solvent, which can be regulated by assuming a stiff surface layer. Indentation relaxation of hydrogels is simulated beyond the linear regime under plane strain conditions, in comparison with two elastic limits for the instantaneous and equilibrium states. The effects of Poisson’s ratio and loading rate are discussed. It is concluded that the present finite element method is robust and can be extended to study other transient phenomena in hydrogels. 相似文献

An experimental study was made to characterise and model the deformation field in sequential circular indentation of a model strain hardening material. Digital image correlation was used to measure the evolving subsurface deformation field in terms of displacement, strain rate and strain as a function of indentation spacing and depth. These measurements were used to validate a finite element model for complementary simulations. The results identify relationships between sequential indentation parameters and overlap of subsurface strain distributions, maximum subsurface strains and indentation loads. Maximum strain and the degree of strain field overlap in the deformed subsurface were maximised when the ratio of indentation spacing (S) to projected indentation contact length (L) was approximately S/L?=?[1.1, 1.2]. Also discussed are the implications for understanding process-scale considerations for indentation-based mechanical surface treatments, including energy dissipation and relationship of surface coverage measures to subsurface strain overlap. Relative differences in energy expended were found for conditions that produce similar levels of subsurface plastic strain and strain field overlap. Finally, the role of sequential indentation parameters on strain path changes and path reversals in the deformed subsurface is investigated and discussed in the context of heterogeneous mechanics and corresponding effects on subsurface microstructure evolution. 相似文献

Viscoelasticity and poroelasticity commonly coexist as time-dependent behaviors in polymer gels.Engineering applications often require knowledge of both behaviors separated;however,few methods exist to decouple viscoelastic and poroelastic properties of gels.We propose a method capable of separating viscoelasticity and poroelasticity of gels in various mechanical tests.The viscoelastic characteristic time and the poroelastic difusivity of a gel define an intrinsic material length scale of the gel.The experimental setup gives a sample length scale,over which the solvent migrates in the gel.By setting the sample length to be much larger or smaller than the material length,the viscoelasticity and poroelasticity of the gel will dominate at diferent time scales in a test.Therefore,the viscoelastic and poroelastic properties of the gel can be probed separately at diferent time scales of the test.We further validate the method by finite-element models and stress-relaxation experiments. 相似文献

An experimental study was conducted to investigate the effect of thermal exposure on indentation behavior of carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite sandwich panel (CFRPCSP) with pyramidal truss cores. Composite sandwich panels were fabricated by the hot press molding method. Subsequently, composite sandwich panels were exposed to different temperatures for 6 h. After thermal exposure, quasi-static indentation tests were carried out at room temperature. Then, the effect of thermal exposure on the failure mechanism, indentation load and energy absorption were analyzed and discussed. The results showed that the indentation load and energy absorption decreased as exposure temperature increased, which was caused by the degradation of the matrix properties and fiber-matrix interface properties at high temperature. In addition to the decrease of the indentation load and energy absorption, the failure modes also changed with exposure temperature. It is expected that this study can provide useful information for the design and application of composite sandwich panel with pyramidal truss cores at high temperature. 相似文献

Characterisation of flowability of small quantifies of cohesive powders is of great industrial interest, particularly for the pharmaceutical sec tors, where a limited amount of material is available or the material is not easily accessible. In this paper, ball indentation on a powder bed is evaluated for flow charaeterisation of small quantifies of cohesive powders at low levels of consolidation pressures. In parallel, the bulk powder is subjected to the common test method of unconfined direct compression. Analogous to indentation hardness testing, for which the indentation pressure is related to the flow stress, a constraint factor (C) is defined relating the unconfined yield stress and indentation pres sure. The constraint factors for the test powders have been evaluated, enabling an easy method to characterize the flow behaviour of cohesive powders. 相似文献

The plane strain indentation of single crystal films on a rigid substrate by a rigid wedge indenter is analyzed using discrete dislocation plasticity. The crystals have three slip systems at ±35.3° and 90° with respect to the indentation direction. The analyses are carried out for three values of the film thickness, 2, 10 and , and with the dislocations all of edge character modeled as line singularities in a linear elastic material. The lattice resistance to dislocation motion, dislocation nucleation, dislocation interaction with obstacles and dislocation annihilation are incorporated through a set of constitutive rules. Over the range of indentation depths considered, the indentation pressure for the 10 and thick films decreases with increasing contact size and attains a contact size-independent value for contact lengths . On the other hand, for the films, the indentation pressure first decreases with increasing contact size and subsequently increases as the plastic zone reaches the rigid substrate. For the 10 and thick films sink-in occurs around the indenter, while pile-up occurs in the film when the plastic zone reaches the substrate. Comparisons are made with predictions obtained from other formulations: (i) the contact size-independent indentation pressure is compared with that given by continuum crystal plasticity; (ii) the scaling of the indentation pressure with indentation depth is compared with the relation proposed by Nix and Gao [1998. Indentation size effects in crystalline materials: a law for strain gradient plasticity. J. Mech. Phys. Solids 43, 411-423]; and (iii) the computed contact area is compared with that obtained from the estimation procedure of Oliver and Pharr [1992. An improved technique for determining hardness and elastic-modulus using load and displacement sensing indentation experiments, J. Mater. Res. 7, 1564-1583]. 相似文献

Warm equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE) in 90° tooling is used to consolidate Vitreloy 106a plus tungsten powders. A fully dense amorphous matrix composite showing good infiltration of the amorphous phase in between crystalline particles and uniform consolidation is achieved after one ECAE extrusion in the supercooled liquid temperature region of the amorphous phase. The results demonstrate that ECAE appears to be a viable processing method for producing bulk metallic glass matrix-crystalline particle composites. 相似文献

Adhesive and cohesive properties by indentation method of plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Adhesive and cohesive properties of the plasma-sprayed hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings, deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrates by varying the plasma power level and spray distance (SD), were evaluated by an indentation method. The crystallinity and the porosity decreased with increasing both of these two parameters. The microhardness value, Young's modulus (E) and coating fracture toughness (KC) were found to increase with a combinational increase in spray power and SD. The Knoop and Vickers indentation methods were used to estimate E and KC, respectively. The critical point at which no crack appears at the interface was determined by the interface indentation test. This was used to define the apparent interfacial toughness (KCa) which is representative of the crack initiation resistance of the interface. It was found that KCa reaches to a maximum at a medium increase in both spray power and SD, while other mechanical properties of the coatings reaches to the highest value with further increase in these two plasma parameters. The tensile adhesion strength of the coatings, measure by the standard adhesion test, ISO 13779-4, was shown to alter in the same manner with KCa results. It was deduced that a combinational increase in spray power and SD which leads to a higher mechanical properties in the coatings, does not necessarily tends to a better mechanical properties at the interface. 相似文献

In the present study, we explored the effect of metallic interlayers (Cu and Ti) and indentation loads (5-20 mN) on the mechanical properties of plasma produced diamond-like carbon (DLC) thin films. Also a comparison has been made for mechanical properties of these films with pure DLC and nitrogen incorporated DLC films. Introduction of N in DLC led to a drastic decrease in residual stress (S) from 1.8 to 0.7 GPa, but with expenses of hardness (H) and other mechanical properties. In contrast, addition of Cu and Ti interlayers between substrate Si and DLC, results in significant decrease in S with little enhancement of hardness and other mechanical properties. Among various DLC films, maximum hardness 30.8 GPa is observed in Ti-DLC film. Besides hardness and elastic modulus, various other mechanical parameters have also been estimated using load versus displacement curves. 相似文献
