Four Ti MMCs have been tested in transverse tension, at ambient temperature and 600 °C. Generally, mechanical properties are reduced compared to monolithic Ti alloys. Transverse Young's modulus is, however, higher than in monolithic alloys, as a result of constraint of the matrix by the fibres.MMC proportional limits are associated with the onset of interfacial failure. Fibre coating cracking and longitudinal fibre splitting may also contribute to MMC yield and the associated acoustic emission peak. The fibre/matrix interface in IMI 834/SM1140+ appears to be weaker than in the other MMCs, resulting in a lower proportional limit and less acoustic emission. Final failure of the MMCs is generally via ductile shearing of matrix ligaments. The exception to this is IMI 834/SM1140+ in which the matrix fails in a brittle manner. This causes poor transverse tensile strength and failure strain in this MMC.A model to predict the MMC proportional limit, previously proposed by Jansson et al., has been modified to take account of the tensile strength of the fibre/matrix interface. The model previously used by Jansson et al. to predict the transverse tensile strength is acceptably accurate provided that the area fraction of matrix appearing on fracture surfaces is accurately determined. 相似文献

A theoretical analysis, previously developed to deal with the machanics of matrix cracking in unidirectional composites and with transverse ply cracking in cross ply laminates, has been developed further to deal with the tensile failure of unidirectional fibrous composites in with the fibres have a known distribution of strengths. It is proposed that, under the application of a tensile load, stable transverse cracks are formed which originate from regions of initial damage and which become unstable at some critical strain value. The model takes account of various parameters including the interfacial fibre/matrix debonding energy, the residual frictional shear strength of the debonded interface and the elastic properties of fibres and matrix. Comparisons are made between the predictions of the model and the observed failing strains of the 0° plies in carbon fibre polymer matrix laminates. The relevance of the model to the study of delayed fracture in fibrous composites is discussed. The modification of this model, previously developed to describe crack growth in the transverse plies of 0°/90° laminates, is used to predict the initial cracking strains for a wide range of CFRP laminate geometries and initial crack sizes. Some aspects of the mechanics of crack extension across interply interfaces are discussed. 相似文献

A study of crack tip damage development and crack growth resistance of aluminium 359/20% Vf silicon carbide and aluminium 6061/20% Vf MicralTm particulate reinforced metal matrix composites has been conducted. Observations of crack tip process zone development at the specimen surface have been compared with the results of fractographic examination of the centre of the specimen. Both materials were found to fracture by a process of void nucleation, growth and coalescence. Void nucleation was found to be by fracture or debonding of reinforcement particles, and/or fracture or debonding of secondary matrix particles. The preferred mode of void nucleation was found to vary depending on the constituents of the PR MMC and even the heat treatment state of the material. It was found that in these materials fractured particles identified on the fracture surface fractured during loading rather than being pre-cracked during fabrication. It was further found that observations of damage development from the specimen surface did not necessarily reflect the mechanisms prevailing in the specimen bulk. Under plane strain conditions, both materials were found to exhibit decreasing crack growth resistance as crack extension proceeded, due to the “anti-shielding” effect of damage accumulated in the process zone ahead of the crack tip. In thin specimens of the Comral-85 composite, however, dramatically improved toughness was obtained, and KR curves have been obtained for such specimens. The method of measuring crack length was found to have a profound effect on the KR curve; it was concluded that the KR curve determined using the crack length measured at the specimen surface best reflected the true crack growth resistance of these materials. 相似文献

A lower bound to the work of pull-out is estimated for a ceramic composite under uniaxial loading assuming that matrix crumbling does not occur. Fibre failure is assumed to be governed by Weibull distribution. In order to compute a lower bound to the energy dissipation it is assumed that the failure occurs by a single matrix crack. The fibre/matrix interface is assumed to be constrained by friction only. The work of pull-out estimated from the present model is compared to the energy dissipation before fibre failure which was computed by Aveston, Cooper and Kelly (ACK) in 1971. Comparisons are made with the surface energy of monolithic materials. 相似文献

Carbon nanotubes (VGCF) and graphite (Gr) reinforced Ti metal matrix composites (TiMMCs) were prepared via powder metallurgy. 0–0.4 wt% VGCF/Gr and Ti mixture powders were prepared by rocking mill. The as-premixed powders were consolidated at 1073 K using spark plasma sintering (SPS). Hot extrusion was performed at 1273 K with an extrusion ratio of 37:1. Microstructures and mechanical properties of the as-extruded Ti composites were investigated to evaluate strengthening effects of VGCF/Gr on Ti matrix. Mechanical strength of Ti–VGCF/Gr composites was augmented when VGCF/Gr contents were increased from 0.1 to 0.4 wt%. Yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of Ti-0.4 wt% VGCF composites were increased 40.4% and 11.4% as compared to pure Ti, while those values were 30.5% and 2.1% for Ti–0.4 wt% Gr. The strengthening mechanism including grain refinement, carbon solid solution strengthening and TiC/carbon dispersion strengthening was discussed in detail. 相似文献

Computational assessment of the influence of load ratio on fatigue crack growth in fibre-reinforced metal matrix composites 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A three-dimensional finite element model of a composite tensile specimen consisting of a Ti–6Al–4V matrix reinforced with unidirectional, continuous SiC fibres under cyclic loading has been developed. The model includes the fibre/matrix morphology, with the interface interaction being governed by the Coulomb friction law. The influence of the applied load ratio on the true crack-tip load ratio has been investigated for three different applied load ratios. The results from the model show that due to a combination of thermal residual stresses from processing and fibre bridging, the crack-tip load ratio becomes independent of the applied load ratio after a small amount of crack growth. With the fatigue threshold depending strongly on the load ratio, crack arrest occurs at a later stage than would be predicted from the applied load ratio. 相似文献

This paper presents a fracture analysis for a bent crack in an infinite orthotropic plate subjected to a far-field uniform tensile stress. To determine parameters relevant to the mixed-mode fracture conditions at the tip of the bent crack, the problem is formulated in terms of singular integral equations with generalized Cauchy kernels. The resulting system of equations is then solved numberically employing a Gaussian quadrature and the collocation method. Stress intensity factors, k1 and k2, and the strain energy release rates, GI and GII at the tip of the bent crack are obtained for various values of fibres direction and L2/L1 ratios. Extensive results for a graphite-epoxy unidirectional composite laminate are presented. 相似文献

Thermal fatigue resistance is one of the most important parameters to design engine materials. The thermal fatigue crack growth behavior of alumina short fibre (V
f = 18 vol.%) reinforced AlSi12CuMgNi aluminum alloy composite has been investigated under thermal cycling condition between room temperature and 280 °C. Initiation and propagation of thermal fatigue crack have also been discussed. The results show that in the range of short crack, the fibres play an important role in the path of thermal fatigue crack, and the crack propagation rate of composites is much larger than that of the matrix alloy. 相似文献

In the study, fracture behaviour of short bamboo fibre reinforced polyester composites is investigated. The matrix is reinforced with fibres ranging from 10 to 50, 30 to 50 and 30 to 60 vol.% at increments of 10 vol.% for bamboo fibres at 4, 7 and 10 mm lengths respectively. The results reveal that at 4 mm of fibre length, the increment in fibre content deteriorates the fracture toughness. As for 7 and 10 mm fibre lengths, positive effect of fibre reinforcement is observed. The optimum fibre content is found to be at 40 vol.% for 7 mm fibre and 50 vol.% for 10 mm fibre. The highest fracture toughness is achieved at 10 mm/50 vol.% fibre reinforced composite, with 340% of improvement compared to neat polyester. Fractured surfaces investigated through the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) describing different failure mechanisms are also reported. 相似文献

Basalt reinforced composites are recently developed materials. These mineral amorphous fibres are a valid alternative to carbon fibres for their lower cost, and to glass fibres for their strength. In order to use basalt reinforced composites for structural applications, it is necessary to perform a mechanical characterisation. With this aim in the present work experimental results of several static and fatigue tests are described. Two polymeric matrices are taken into account, vinylester and epoxy, to assess their influence on the evaluated parameters. In parallel to these mechanical tests, also the thermal answer of the specimens to mechanical loads is evaluated by means of thermography. This experimental technique allows defining the composite local heating during the application of mechanical loads and its behaviour in details. Final discussion on obtained results is proposed focussing the attention on basalt fibre composite behaviour, and comparing mechanical properties of BFRP with other composite materials in glass and carbon fibres. 相似文献

AbstractSpecimens used to date for testing titanium metal matrix composites (Ti MMCs) have severe limitations in the data obtained. In the present work, novel specimens have been developed to ensure that data obtained are indicative of the material as it appears in engineering components. For the longitudinal orientation, a modified dogbone with large shoulder radii is successful in improving the integrity of data. In the transverse orientation, selective reinforcement of monolithic Ti with MMC has allowed the production of a cruciform specimen in which the‘uprights’ are made of monolithic Ti and are gripped in the testing machine and the ‘cross’ is made of MMC and acts as a gauge length. The cruciform geometry ensures that surface defects, which blight conventional specimens, do not have such a deleterious effect. A unique specimen has been developed to enable the MMCs to be loaded in the through thickness direction, thus allowing a comparison of mechanical properties for the three geometric axes. 相似文献

Closed form expressions for the low cycle and high cycle fatigue crack growth lives have been derived for the randomly-planar oriented short-fiber reinforced metal matrix composites under the total strain-controlled conditions. The modeling was based on fatigue-fracture mechanics theory under both the small scale and the large scale yielding conditions. The modified shear lag theory was considered to describe the effect of yielding strength. The present model is essentially a crack growth model because crack initiation period in short fiber reinforced metal matrix composite is much shorter; hence, not assumed to play a dominant role in the calculation of fatigue crack growth life. The effects of short-fiber volume fraction (Vf), cyclic strain hardening exponent (n′) and cyclic strain hardening coefficient (K′) on the fatigue crack propagation life are analyzed for aluminum based SFMMCs at different levels of cyclic plastic strain values. It is observed that the influence of fatigue crack growth resistance increases with increase in cyclic strain hardening exponent (n′) and decreases when volume fraction (Vf) or cyclic strain hardening coefficient (K′) increases. The present MSL theory based fatigue crack growth life prediction model is an alternative of modified rule of mixture and strengthening factor models. The predicted fatigue life for SFMMC shows good agreement with the experimental data for the low cycle and high cycle fatigue applications. 相似文献

Numerical analysis of fibre bridging and fatigue crack growth in metal matrix composite materials 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
The analysis of bridged crack configurations in unidirectional fibre-reinforced composites is relevant to a variety of crack growth problems, including the fatigue of metal matrix composites and the study of fibre failure in the wake of a bridged matrix crack. Details of numerical procedures for predicting fibre stresses and their effect on crack tip stress intensity factors are presented here to provide a useful overview of how standard bridging calculations are done. Results are presented and discussed in the context of predicting fatigue crack growth with fibre failure in metal matrix composites. 相似文献

AbstractCharpy impact behaviour of SiC fibre reinforced titanium composites (TMCs)has been examined at a range of temperatures on specimens with fibres orientated longitudinally [0]8 and transversely [90]8 to the impact direction. Corresponding monolithic alloys have also been studied. Although monolithic Ti–6Al–4V has the superior ‘bend’strength at room temperature, Timetal 834 is superior at the operating temperatures of gas-turbine components. The TMCs follow the same trends as the monolithic alloys, but their impact strengths are inferior to the monolithic alloys by an order of magnitude. This is attributed to the low impact strength of the SiC fibres, which dominates in [0]8 specimens, and the low strength of the fibre/matrix interface, which dominates in [90]8 specimens. For [0]8 specimens, Ti-6-4 reinforced with carbon coated SiC fibres (Sigma SM1140+) has consistently superior impact strength compared with the other three TMCs. For [90]8 specimens, Timetal 834 reinforced with TiBx/carbon coated SiC fibres (SM1240) exhibits the best impact strength at intermediate temperatures. 相似文献

A theoretical analysis based on the assumed form of the strain field surrounding a crack bridged by reinforcing elements has been used to examine the growth of a crack propagating transversely to the fibres in hybrid fibre composites. An intermingled carbon fibre/glass fibre polymer matrix system has been considered. Two situations have been investigated. In the first of these the effect of the addition of carbon fibres on the development of cracks resulting from the failure of the glass fibres by stress corrosion has been studied. The analysis indicates that crack growth can be severely inhibited by a 5% volume fraction of type III carbon fibres. The analysis has been used also to investigate the process by which strong high failing strain glass fibres inhibit the growth of cracks caused by the fracture of localized clusters of low failing strain carbon fibres. The predictions of this analysis agree with existing experimental data on glass fibre/carbon fibre hybrids. 相似文献

采用激光选区熔化(selective laser melting,SLM)制备LaB_(6)颗粒增强钛基复合材料,研究不同激光能量密度下试样的致密化行为、显微组织、物相及其在准静态和动态冲击条件下的力学性能。结果表明:LaB_(6)颗粒的加入在一定程度上改变了材料的致密化行为,过高或者过低的激光能量密度均会降低试样的致密度。而增强颗粒的加入细化了基体材料的晶粒,钛合金的初始β晶粒及针状α晶粒的晶界有一定程度的弱化,从而导致复合材料的屈服强度和极限强度增加,但延展性降低,同时复合材料表现出明显的应变率强化效应。与SLM成型Ti-6Al-4V合金相比,复合材料在塑性段的应变硬化效应和失稳阶段的脆性断裂特征更显著,为激光增材制造高性能颗粒增强钛基复合材料的动态抗压性能优化提供理论基础。 相似文献

Metal reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (MMMCs) made by combining an aluminium alloy matrix with stainless steel reinforcing wires are potentially cheaper and tougher than continuous fibre ceramic reinforced Metal Matrix Composites (MMCs). Although they do not give as great enhancements in stiffness and strength, worthwhile gains are achieved. Such MMMCs can be produced by Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIPping), which reduces interfacial reactions in comparison with liquid metal routes. Here, stainless steel (316L) and commercial purity aluminium wires were used to make bundles which were inserted into mild steel cans for HIPping at 525 °C/120 min/100 MPa. Some stainless steel wires were pre-coated with A17Si, to examine the effect of coatings on mechanical properties. Specimens were evaluated in terms of their tensile and fatigue properties. During HIPping, cans collapsed anisotropically to give different cross-section shapes, and for larger diameter cans, there was also some longitudinal twisting. Wires tended to be better aligned after HIPping in the smaller diameter cans, which produced material having higher modulus and UTS. Higher volume fractions of reinforcement tend to give better fatigue properties. Composites with coated stainless steel wires gave higher composite elongation to failure than uncoated wires. Both uncoated and coated wires failed by fatigue during fatigue testing of the composite. This contrasts with ceramic reinforced MMCs where the fibres fracture at weak points and then pull out of the matrix. 相似文献
