A novel test‐loading device was suggested in order to study the fracture behavior of brittle materials under mixed mode I/II/III loading conditions. A version of the compact tension shear specimen was used as the test configuration. Using a three‐dimensional finite element analysis, the influence of mode mixity on the stress intensity factors, the T‐stress, and 3‐D plastic zone around the crack tip was investigated. In addition, an experimental study was performed on an epoxy polymer using the proposed setup. Finally, the fracture toughness of pure epoxy was measured under several loading conditions. The numerical and experimental results manifested that the proposed setup is able to determine a full range of mixed mode I/II/III fracture properties. At the end, the fracture envelope obtained using the practical study was compared with various three‐dimensional fracture criteria. A negligible discrepancy was concluded between the practical data and the theoretical data estimated by the maximum mean principle stress criterion. 相似文献

For the first time, the brittle fracture of epoxy‐based nanocomposite reinforced with MWCNTs (multi‐walled carbon nanotubes) and subjected to mixed mode II/III loading conditions is investigated. This experimental investigation is carried out using a newly developed test configuration. Araldite LY 5052 epoxy, which is a resin frequently used in aerospace industry, is utilized to fabricate pure epoxy and nanocomposite test specimens with two different MWCNTs contents of 0.1 and 0.5 wt%. The obtained experimental results reveal that adding MWCNTs to epoxy resin up to 0.5 wt% improves the fracture toughness under pure mode II and pure mode III loading with an increasing trend. This is while the improvement under mixed mode II/III loading is reduced by adding nanotubes more than 0.1 wt%. To justify the variations of fracture toughness in terms of nanoparticles content, SEM (scanning electron microscopy) photographs of the fracture surfaces of the specimens in the vicinity of the initial crack front are prepared. Additional fracture mechanisms caused by adding carbon nanotubes are discussed in detail based on the provided SEM images. 相似文献

This paper deals with the effect of basalt fibres on fracture toughness of asphalt mixture. For this purpose, basalt fibres with three different contents (i.e., 0.1%, 0.2%, and 0.3% by weight of asphalt mixture) and lengths (ie, 4, 8, and 12 mm) are incorporated into asphalt mixture to prepare fibre‐reinforced asphalt mixtures. Fracture tests are then carried out on these mixtures under four different modes of loading (i.e., pure mode I, pure mode II, and two mixed modes of I/II) using semicircular bend (SCB) specimens. The results exhibit that the fracture toughness increases with the enhancement of the fibre content. In addition, increase in the length of basalt fibre results in reduction of the fracture toughness of asphalt mixture. However, the asphalt mixture containing 0.3% of basalt fibres with the length of 4 mm shows the highest fracture toughness compared with other mixtures. It is also found that the basalt fibre improves mode I fracture toughness of asphalt mixtures more significantly than mode II one. Statistical analysis is also performed on the experimental data. Analysis of ANOVA demonstrates that all the three factors investigated in this study (i.e., length of basalt fibre, content of basalt fibre, and mode of loading) have significant influence on the fracture toughness of asphalt mixtures. 相似文献

The aim of the present research is to evaluate ductile failure of U‐notched components under mixed mode I/II loading conditions. For this purpose, first, several rectangular plates made of the aluminium alloy Al 6061‐T6 and weakened by central bean‐shaped slit with two U‐shaped ends are tested under mixed mode I/II loading conditions, and the load‐carrying capacity of the specimens are experimentally measured. Then, using the equivalent material concept, Al 6061‐T6, which is a highly ductile material, is equated with a virtual brittle material, and the load‐carrying capacity of the same U‐notched specimens virtually made of the equivalent material is theoretically predicted by using two well‐known stress‐based brittle fracture criteria. Finally, the theoretical failure loads of the virtual specimens are compared with the experimental ones of the real Al 6061‐T6 specimens. It is revealed that the experimental results could very well be predicted by means of both brittle fracture criteria without conducting time‐consuming elastic–plastic analyses. 相似文献

Debonding of the core from the face sheets is a critical failure mode in sandwich structures. This paper presents an experimental study on face/core debond fracture of foam core sandwich specimens under a wide range of mixed mode loading conditions. Sandwich beams with E‐glass fibre face sheets and PVC H45, H100 and H250 foam core materials were evaluated. A methodology to perform precracking on fracture specimens in order to achieve a sharp and representative crack front is outlined. The mixed mode loading was controlled in the mixed mode bending (MMB) test rig by changing the loading application point (lever arm distance). Finite element analysis was performed to determine the mode‐mixity at the crack tip. The results showed that the face/core interface fracture toughness increased with increased mode II loading. Post failure analysis of the fractured specimens revealed that the crack path depends on the mode‐mixity at the crack tip, face sheet properties and core density. 相似文献

Mixed mode fatigue crack growth: A literature survey 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The applications of fracture mechanics have traditionally concentrated on crack growth problems under an opening or mode I mechanism. However, many service failures occur from growth of cracks subjected to mixed mode loadings. This paper reviews the various criteria and parameters proposed in the literature for predictions of mixed mode crack growth directions and rates. The physical basis and limitations for each criterion are briefly reviewed, and the corresponding experimental supports are discussed. Results from experimental studies using different specimen geometries and loading conditions are presented and discussed. The loading conditions discussed consist of crack growth under mode II, mode III, mixed mode I and II, and mixed mode I and III loads. The effects of important variables such as load magnitudes, material strength, initial crack tip condition, mean stress, load non-proportionality, overloads and crack closure on mixed mode crack growth directions and/or rates are also discussed. 相似文献

A criterion is proposed for brittle fracture analysis in rounded-tip V-notched components. This criterion, called RV-MTS, is developed based on the maximum tangential stress (MTS) criterion proposed earlier for investigating mixed mode brittle fracture in sharp cracks. Using the RV-MTS criterion, a set of fracture curves is presented based on the notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) for predicting mixed mode and also pure mode II fracture toughness of rounded-tip V-notches. The criterion is also able to predict fracture initiation angles under mixed mode loading. The validity of the criterion is evaluated by several fracture tests performed on the rounded-tip V-notched Brazilian disc (RV-BD) specimens made of PMMA. A good agreement is shown to exist between the theoretical predictions and the experimental results for various notch opening angles and different notch radii. 相似文献

In this paper, analytical solutions for asymptotic crack-tip plastic sectors in perfectly plastic Mises materials are derived under mixed in-plane and out-of-plane shear loading conditions. Plastic strains in crack-tip plastic sectors are considered to be singular and non-singular. Sectors with singular plastic strains have the solution of centered fan type, and sectors with non-singular plastic strains have the solution of either centered fan or constant stress type. The requirement of stress continuity along the border between a constant stress and a centered fan sectors is then discussed. Discontinuities of the normal and out-of-plane shear stresses in the radial direction between two constant stress sectors are assumed in assembling the crack-tip fields under mixed mode II/III and I/III conditions. Crack-tip fields under mixed mode II/III and I/III conditions with small contributions of mode III are then presented to show the existence of asymptotic crack-tip fields for perfectly plastic materials under mixed in-plane and out-of-plane shear loading conditions. The trends of the angular variations of the mode III stresses under the mixed mode II/III and I/III conditions are generally in agreement with those of the available asymptotic and finite element analyses for low strain hardening materials. 相似文献

Engineering applications of ceramics can often involve mixed‐mode conditions involving both tensile and shear loading. Mixed‐mode fracture toughness parameters are evaluated for applicability to ceramics using the Brazilian disc test on silicon nitride. Semi‐elliptical centrally located surface flaws are induced on the disc specimens using Vickers indentation and compression loaded to fracture with varying levels of mode mixity. The disc specimens are modelled via 3D finite element analysis and all three modes of stress intensity factors computed along the crack front, at failure load. We present a numerical and experimental investigation of four widely used mixed‐mode fracture criteria and conclude that the critical strain energy release rate criterion is simple to implement and effective for silicon nitride under mixed‐mode conditions. 相似文献

A ring shaped specimen is used for studying mixed mode fracture in brittle materials. The ring specimen is subjected to a
compressive diametral load and contains two angled central cracks. A series of fracture tests are conducted under various
mode mixities using the ring specimen. It is shown that the obtained experimental results are in a very good agreement with
theoretical predictions of the modified maximum tangential stress criterion. 相似文献

For the first time, a series of mixed mode I/II fracture experiments have been performed on both base material and three families of friction stir welds (FSWs) in 6.4 mm thick, 2024-T351 aluminum plate; the FSW joints are designated hot, medium and cold due to the level of nominal weld energy input per unit weld length (specific weld energy) during the joining process.Results from the fracture tests indicate that the measured critical crack opening displacement (COD) at a fixed distance behind the crack tip properly correlates both load-crack extension response and microstructural fracture surface features for both the base metal and all FSWs, providing measure of a quantitative fracture toughness. The COD values also indicate that transition from mode I to mode II dominant crack growth occurs at lower loading angles for FSW joints having higher specific weld energy input, with a truly mixed mode I/II COD measured during crack growth in the medium FSW joint. Using results from recent detailed FSW metallographic studies, specific features in the fracture process are correlated to the FSW microstructure. Finally, the observed ductile crack growth path in all three welds tends to exit the under-matched FSW weld region as the far-field applied shear loading is increased, with the medium FSW being the only case where the flaw remained within the FSW region for all combinations of shear and tensile loading. 相似文献

完成了飞机结构铝合金LC4CS的2、4、8和14mm四种不同厚度试样在I+II复合加载条件下的复合型断裂实验,系统分析了厚度和复合载荷对裂纹起裂角的影响,揭示了常用复合型断裂准则的厚度适用范围,用三维断裂理论对结果进行了讨论。结果表明:复合型裂纹起裂角具有明显的厚度效应;最大周向应力准则能够准确预测薄试样和厚试样(厚度为2 mm 和14 mm)在各种复合加载条件下的起裂方向,但是不适用于中间厚度的试样,尤其是8 mm厚度的情况。最大三轴应力准则试图考虑裂纹尖端三维约束对裂纹起裂的影响,但是结果并不理想。最小应变能密度因子理论的预测结果与最大周向应力准则的预测结果非常接近,但同样不能预测8mm厚度试样的起裂方向。非常有必要建立一个普遍适用的三维复合型断裂准则。 相似文献

The influence of the mode II fracture parameters on the mixed mode fracture experimental tests of quasibrittle materials is studied. The study is based on experimental results and numerical analyses. For the numerical study, a procedure for mixed mode fracture of quasibrittle materials is presented. The numerical procedure is based on the cohesive crack approach, and extends it to mixed mode fracture. Four experimental sets of mixed mode fracture were modelled, one from Arrea and Ingraffea and another from a nonproportional loading by the authors, both with bending concrete beams. Two other sets of experimental fracture were modelled, based on double-edge notched testing; in these tests an important mode II is beforehand expected. The numerical results agree quite well with experimental records. The influence of the main parameters for mode II fracture on the mixed mode fracture is studied for the four experimental set of tests and compared with these results. In all them, large changes in the mode II fracture energy hardly modify the numerical results. The tangential and normal stresses along the crack path during the loading proccess are obtained, also with different values of the mode II fracture energy. For the studied experimental tests it is concluded that the crack is initiated under mixed mode but propagated under predominant mode I. This allows a development of mixed mode fracture models, mainly based on standard properties of the material measured by standard methods, avoiding the problems associated with the measurement of mode II fracture parameters, such as mode II fracture energy and cohesion. 相似文献

This paper presents a material model to reproduce crack propagation in cement‐based material specimens under mixed‐mode loading. Its numerical formulation is based on the cohesive crack model, proposed by Hillerborg, and extended for the mixed‐mode case. This model is inspired by former works by Gálvez et al but implemented for its use in a finite element code at a material level, that is to say, at an integration point level. Among its main features, the model is able to predict the crack orientation and can reproduce the fracture behaviour under mixed‐mode fracture loading. In addition, several experimental results found in the literature are properly reproduced by the model. 相似文献

The effect of temperature on tensile properties, mode I and mixed mode I/III fracture toughness of SA333 Grade 6 steel was investigated. The variation of ultimate tensile strength and strain hardening exponent with temperature as well as the appearance of serrations in the stress-strain plots indicated that dynamic strain aging regime in this steel is in the temperature range 175-300 °C at a nominal strain rate of 3 × 10−3 s−1. Both mode I and mixed mode I/III fracture toughness values were found to exhibit a significant reduction in the DSA regime. The mixed mode I/III fracture toughness was found to be significantly lower than the mode I fracture toughness at all temperatures. However, the difference between the two toughness values was much higher prior to the onset of DSA. The results are explained on the basis of the nature of deformation fields under mode I and mixed mode I/III loading as well as the fracture mechanism prevalent in these steels at different temperatures. 相似文献

Numerical and experimental studies were performed on a new fracture test configuration called the diagonally loaded square plate (DLSP) specimen. The mode I and mode II stress intensity factors were computed for different crack lengths and crack orientation angles using finite element analysis. The numerical results show that the DLSP specimen is able to provide pure mode I, pure mode II and any mixed mode loading conditions in between. Fracture experiments were also conducted on Plexiglas using the DLSP specimen. It is shown that the results obtained from the fracture tests are consistent very well with mixed mode fracture theories. 相似文献

This paper investigates the effects of the first non‐singular stress terms on the fracture assessment of sharp V‐notches under mixed mode loading. First, numerical studies have been performed on a fracture test configuration called single V‐notched ring (SVR) specimen. Then, the notch stress intensity factors as well as the coefficients of the first non‐singular stress terms, which are vital parameters in brittle fracture of V‐notched components, were calculated via a finite element over‐deterministic algorithm for a wide range of loading and geometry conditions. The obtained results demonstrate that the SVR specimen is able to provide a complete range of mode mixities from pure mode I to pure mode II loading conditions. The numerical results, next, have been converted to dimensionless parameters and are illustrated in several graphs. Indeed, these graphs can be easily employed by the engineers for rapid calculation of the corresponding notch stress intensity factors and the coefficients of the first non‐singular stress terms in the SVR specimen. The obtained fracture parameters are then submitted to the maximum tangential stress criterion to assess the effects of the first non‐singular terms on fracture behaviour of the specimen. Finally, an experimental study has been performed on the SVR specimen made of Nayriz Marble rock for two notch angles with a complete range of mode mixities. The obtained experimental data confirm the significant role of the first non‐singular stress terms. In fact, these results show that considering only the singular stress terms may induce an average error of 38% in the predicted fracture loads, which can be decreased to about 12% just by adding the contribution of the first non‐singular terms to the maximum tangential stress criterion. 相似文献

A novel testing procedure for mixed mode crack propagation in concrete is presented: four point bend of notched beams under
the action of two independent force actuators. In contrast to classical procedures, this method allows nonproportional loading
and crack trajectory modifications by changing the action of one actuator. Different experimental crack trajectories, under
mixed mode and nonproportional loading, are presented together with the corresponding curves of load-CMOD and load-displacement.
The tests were performed for three homotetic specimen sizes and two mixed mode loading conditions. The results are useful
for checking the accuracy of mixed mode fracture analytical and numerical models. The models should predict the crack trajectory
and a complete group of experimental records of load and displacements on several control points in the specimen.

The effect of mixed mode I/III loading on fracture toughness of Ti-15 at.% Al-8 at.% Nb alloy, which undergoes stress-induced martensitic transformation, was investigated for four different grain sizes. The fracture toughness under mixed mode I/III loading was found to be significantly higher than that under mode I loading in all cases. The results were explained on the basis of the stress and strain fields ahead of a mixed mode crack and its influence on the martensitic transformation zone. 相似文献

Mixed‐mode dynamic fracture behaviour of cast aluminium alloy ZL205A thin plates with narrow U‐notch was studied by split Hopkinson tensile bar apparatus. Specimens with different loading angles were designed to realize different fracture modes. The same loading condition was maintained during the tests. Recovery specimens show that crack propagates along the notch direction. Force–elongation relations show that with the loading angle increasing, the fracture force increases while the final elongation decreases. Deformation and fracture process was observed by a high‐speed camera. Displacement distribution around the crack was calculated through digital image correlation technique. Based on the photos and displacement results, initiation time of the crack was derived. Besides, two stress components (normal stress and shear stress) applied on the fracture surface were investigated. Results show that crack initiation stresses at different loading angles satisfy the ellipse equation. Pure mode I and II fracture stresses are 425.3 and 236.7 MPa, respectively. Furthermore, specific fracture energy of different specimens was calculated. The energy data vary with loading angle and located on an approximate upward parabolic curve. From the curve, the minimum specific fracture energy of the thin plate specimen is 42.0 kJ/m2 under loading angle of 76.3°. 相似文献
