通过粉末冶金热压烧结法制备高压电触头Cu/WC_p颗粒增强复合材料,研究WC_p颗粒含量(15%和3%,体积分数,下同)对Cu/WC_p复合材料的疲劳裂纹扩展行为的影响,并结合SEM进行断口分析;利用原位SEM疲劳裂纹观测系统原位观察微裂纹萌生,分析颗粒对裂纹扩展路径的影响机制。结果表明:在相同应力强度因子幅(△K)下WC_p含量为15%的Cu/WC_p的疲劳裂纹扩展速率大于WC_p含量为3%的复合材料;颗粒含量的增加并没有提高复合材料的裂纹扩展门槛值△K_(th),这主要是因为颗粒和基体的界面属于弱界面;在疲劳过程中颗粒脱粘形成裂纹源,不同脱牯微裂纹连接长大形成主裂纹是Cu/WC_p颗粒增强复合材料的疲劳损伤形式;当主裂纹尖端和颗粒WC_p相互作用时裂纹基本沿着颗粒界面往前扩展;复合材料的断裂模式从WC_p低含量3%时的颗粒脱粘-裂纹在基体里穿晶断裂,过渡为WC_p高含量15%时颗粒脱粘-基体被撕裂为主。

Effect of SiC particles on fatigue crack propagation in SiC/Al composites

Fatigue crack propagation has been studied in two SiC particulate-reinforced aluminium-matrix composites with differing matrix alloys and composite heat treatments. Results indicate that the fatigue crack propagation rate (FCPR) of aged SiC/LY12 Al composites decreases with increasing volume fraction (V_f) of SiC particles; for composites containing 15 volume % SiC particles in an LY12 Al matrix the FCPR is independent of heat treatment (ageing or annealing). Annealed SiC/5083 Al composite has a higher FCPR than annealed SiC/LY12 AI. The influence of SiC particles on crack path is briefly discussed.     

Effect of isothermal exposure on fatigue crack growth in boron-titanium composites

Fatigue crack growth testing has been applied to boron/Ti-6Al-4V composites in order to investigate simultaneously crack propagation mechanisms during the fatigue and overload portion of the experiments. It is concluded that linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) for heterogeneous and anisotropic materials facilitates understanding of the rupture mechanisms and the assessment of failure work and toughness. The influence of isothermal exposure on crack propagation mechanisms has been pointed out. A short duration heat treatment at 850 C improves the composite toughness and reduces the fatigue crack growth rate although the fibrematrix (FM) interfacial bonding is increased. This effect has been related to a damage mechanism initiated in the interfacial reaction zone. In any case, the fatigue behaviour of the composite is controlled by the matrix and the capability of the fibres to function as crack arrestors. The impeding effect of the fibres is no longer effective when the thermal exposure duration is significant.

Short thermal fatigue crack propagation behavior of alumina short fibre reinforced aluminum matrix composites

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.     

A two-dimensional in situ fatigue cohesive zone model for crack propagation in composites under cyclic loading

In this paper a two-dimensional fatigue cohesive zone model (CZM) for crack propagation in composites under cyclic loading has been formulated and validated through successful predictions of fatigue crack growth under pure and mixed mode conditions for several different composites. The proposed fatigue CZM assumes simple power-law functions for fatigue damage accumulation of which the damage parameters can be calibrated from simple fatigue tests under pure mode I and mode II conditions. The model relies solely on the in situ cohesive responses for fatigue damage rate calculation, enabling the differentiation of the local elemental load history from the global load history. An effective cycle jump strategy for high-cycle fatigue has also been proposed. It has been demonstrated that once calibrated, the fatigue CZM can predict the Paris laws for the pure modes. Furthermore, it can predict the Paris laws of any mixed-mode conditions without the need of additional empirical parameters. This is of significant practical importance because it leads to greatly reduced experimental needs for mixed mode crack propagation widely observed in composites under cyclic loads.

Interlaminar fatigue crack propagation in continuous glass fiber/polypropylene composites

The mode II interlaminar fatigue crack propagation behavior of unidirectional continuous glass fiber (GF) composites with a polypropylene (PP) matrix obtained under three different molding conditions has been studied with the use of the end-notch flexure (ENF) geometry. The microstructure and mechanical performance, especially the interlaminar fatigue crack propagation, are strongly affected by the molding conditions. Comparative results reveal a major influence of the fiber–matrix interface and the matrix morphology on the crack propagation resistance. The distribution of the ductile amorphous PP phase in the semi-crystalline PP matrix appears to be the controlling parameter determining the fatigue crack propagation resistance of the PP/GF composite. Fractographic observations clearly showed the role of this phase.     

Fatigue properties and fatigue fracture mechanisms of SiC whiskers or SiC particulate-reinforced aluminium composites

Fatigue properties and fracture mechanisms were examined for three commercially fabricated aluminium matrix composites containing SiC whiskers (SiC_w) and SiC particles (SiC_p) using a rotating bending test. The fatigue strengths were over 60% higher for SiC_w/A2024 composites than that for the unreinforced rolled material, while for the SiC_p/A357 composites, fatigue strengths were also higher than that for the unreinforced reference material. For the SiC_p/A356 composites at a volume fraction of 20%, the fatigue strength was slightly higher than that of the unreinforced material. Fractography revealed that the Mode I fatigue crack was initiated by the Stage I mechanism for the SiC_w/A2024 and SiC_p/A357 composites, while for the SiC_p/A356 composite, the fatigue crack initiated at the voids situated beneath the specimen surfaces. On the other hand, the fatigue crack propagated to the whisker/matrix interface following the formation of dimple patterns or the formation of striation patterns for SiC_w/A2024 composites, while for the SiC_p/A356 and SiC_p/A357 composites the fatigue crack propagated in the matrix near the crack origin and striation patterns were found. Near final failure, dimple patterns, initiated at silicon carbide particles, were frequently observed. Mode I fatigue crack initiation and propagation models were proposed for discontinuous fibre-reinforced aluminium composites. It is suggested that the silicon carbide whiskers or particles would have a very significant effect on the fatigue crack initiation and crack propagation near the fatigue limit.

Crack propagation and fatigue in zirconia-based composites

This paper reviews existing published studies on crack propagation behavior of zirconia-based composites. The first part of the paper is concerned with slow crack growth (SCG) under static loading. SCG in zirconia ceramics is shown to be a consequence of stress corrosion by water molecules at the crack tip. The influence of transformation toughening on SCG is discussed in terms of a stress intensity factor acting to reduce the net driving force for propagation. This proposition is in agreement with results obtained on 3Y-TZP and Mg-PSZ ceramics. A master curve is proposed which could be applied roughly to all zirconia ceramics. The influence of zirconia addition to alumina ceramics (ZTA ceramics) is also discussed. The second part of the paper deals with SCG under cyclic loading. A mechanical degradation of all zirconia-based composites is observed by a decrease of crack shielding. This degradation of zirconia-based composites under cyclic loading leads to increased velocities as compared to the static fatigue case. A master curve is also obtained, as in the case of static fatigue. Cyclic fatigue results are interpreted in terms of stress corrosion at the crack tip assisted by a decrease of the reinforcement.
