This paper studied the effect of the hybridization of carbon and Kevlar fibers on mode I interlaminar fracture toughness and
crack propagation behaviors with double cantilever beam (DCB) tests. The crack propagation characteristics, crack growth trend
and rate, and fracture surfaces were observed using an optical microscope and SEM micrographs for the three different types
of materials. Moreover, details of the stress distribution around the crack tip and the crack propagation pattern across the
width of the DCB specimen were investigated using the finite element method, including a cohesive element. The mode I interlaminar
fracture toughness of carbon-Kevlar hybrid/epoxy was nearly average for carbon/epoxy and Kevlar/epoxy. The maximum load predicted
by the numerical method showed good agreement within an error of 5% with the experimental results. 相似文献

In this study, 17Mn4 (P295GH) pressure vessels steel and AISI304 stainless steel were welded with ER309L austenitic consumable.
In experimental part of the study, tensile tests were conducted on welded plates and variation of hardness values along specimen
was measured. J-integral fracture toughness values were investigated for different crack locations. In order to determine
the regions where plastic deformation did not take place due to constraint, uni-axial tensile test was performed on welded
tensile specimen after attaching strain gauges. In numerical part of the study, finite element (FE) analyses were conducted
by fixing 2-D models precracked on different locations by using ANSYS software. In these models, stress triaxiality and plastic
deformation characteristics around crack tip were determined for each crack locations after stress — strain analyses. The
limitation on the extension of plastic deformation at diffusion line causes extra increase in stress triaxiality at crack
tip. 相似文献

Continuous fiber ceramic composites (CFCCs) have advantages over monolithic ceramics: Silicon Nitride composites are not well
used for application because of their low fracture toughness and fracture strength, but CFCCs exhibit increased toughness
for damage tolerance, and relatively high stiffness in spite of low specific weight. Thus it is important to characterize
the fracture resistance and properties of new CFCCs materials. Tensile and flexural tests were carried out for mechanical
properties and the fracture resistance behavior of a SCS6 fiber reinforced Si 3N 4 matrix CFCC was evaluated. The results indicated that CFCC composite exhibit a rising R curve behavior in flexural test.
The fracture toughness was about 4.8 MPa m 1/2 , which resulted in a higher value of the fracture toughness because of fiber bridging. Mechanical properties as like the
elastic modulus, proportional limit and the ultimate strength in a flexural test are greater than those in a tensile test.
Also a numerical modeling of failure process was accomplished for a flexural test. This numerical results provided a good
simulation of the cumulative fracture process of the fiber and matrix in CFCCs. 相似文献

In this study, the pre-buckling and post-buckling behaviors of layered composite plates which were made of woven carbon fiber fabric with a circular hole in the middle were investigated experimentally and numerically. Firstly, load-displacement graphs of composite plates with different hole diameters were experimentally obtained under compressive load. Then the numerical load-displacement graphs of the plates were found with the ANSYS package program which used the finite element method. As a result, after linear buckling experimental and numerical results were found to be compatible with each other. In addition, damage behavior of plates after buckling with the aid of Tsai-Wu damage criterion was obtained similar to experimental results. The increase in hole diameter did not change the load-displacement behavior characteristics of the plates after buckling. However, it has reduced maximum damage load and maximum failure displacement. The stress at the perimeter of the hole increased significantly with the increase of the vertical displacement with immediately after the buckling but later was not significantly affected by this increase. 相似文献

Fatigue test of a needled C/SiC composite with a notch under tension-tension cyclic loading was completed, and the main fatigue crack propagation curve of the needled composite was obtained by the in situ observation of the fatigue process. By analyzing the influence of the failure number and distribution on the tensile loading subjected by 0° fiber bundles, the relationship between the main fatigue crack propagation and the distribution of 0° fiber bundles in the needled composite was established. By observing the fracture microstructure (especially the distribution of 0° fiber bundles) of the needled composite through scanning electron microscopy, the reasons for the varying fatigue resistance of different notched specimens were also explained. In addition, acoustic emission (AE) was also used to analyze the AE energy characteristics during the fatigue crack propagation process of the needled composite. 相似文献

We propose a method of cleaving silicon wafers using two-line laser beams. The base principle is separating the silicon wafer using crack propagation caused by laser-induced thermal stress. Specifically, this method uses two-line laser beams parallel to the cutting line such that the movements of the laser beam along the cutting line can be omitted, which is necessary when using a point beam. To demonstrate the proposed method, 3D numerical analysis of a heat transfer and thermo-elasticity model was performed. Crack propagation was evaluated by comparing the stress intensity factor (SIF) at the crack tip with the fracture toughness of silicon, where crack propagation is assumed begin when the SIF exceeds the fracture toughness. The influences of laser power, line beam width, and distance between two laser beams were also investigated. The simulation results showed that the proposed method is appropriate for cleaving silicon wafers without any thermal damage. 相似文献

Graphite fiber-reinforced resin composite materials are widely used in commercial applications where high strength and low weight are critical factors. In order to predict the fracture toughness of a composite material from the constitutive properties of the resin and fibers, experimental methods for the analysis of microscopic displacements and strain fields that develop at the fracture crack tip within the composite material are required. Information derived from measurement of displacements, and calculation of strain fields can then be used to test micromechanical models of matrix-dominated fracture. A method was developed in which it is possible to conduct near real-time fracture analysis of epoxy-based composite materials, and to subsequently obtain micrometer-scale measurements of displacements in the region of the crack tip. A map matrix was generated on the surface of test specimens in an SEM equipped with a tensile stage, along with an x-ray spectroscopy and image analysis system. A 40 × 40 point digital map was introduced onto the surface of the specimen using the digital x-ray mapping function of the x-ray analysis system which produced a surface matrix with point spacing of 10 μm. The quality of maps varies with test specimens and therefore it is necessary to optimize microscope operation parameters for each resin tested. Reproducible results were obtained with both neat resins and graphite/epoxy composites. In situ analysis of a region of a propagating crack tip grown using the tensile stage reveals a deformation zone ahead of the crack tip and images of the stages of microcracking were captured by the image analyzer for subsequent measurement of displacement. Direct measurement of crack tip displacements from SEM electron beam-induced reference matrices provide an important tool in characterizing the fracture behavior of both neat resin and composite materials. 相似文献

In this paper, the higher order terms in the crack tip stress fields are investigated macroscopically for more realistic assessment
of structural material behaviors. For reactor pressure vessel material of A533B ferritic steel, effects of crack size and
temperature have been evaluated using 3-point SENB specimens through a series of finite element analyses, tensile tests and
fracture toughness tests. The T-stress, Q-parameter and q-parameter as well as the K and j-integral are calculated and mutual relationships are investigated also. Based on the evaluation, it has proven that the effect
of crack size from standard length ( a/W=0.53) to shallow length (a/W=0.11) is remarkable whilst the effect of temperature from - 20°C to-60°C is negligible. Finally, the cleavage fracture toughness
loci as a function of the promising Q-parameter or q-parameter are developed using specific test results as well as finite element analysis results, which can be applicable for
structural integrity evaluation considering con-straint effects. 相似文献

The stress field around the dynamically propagating interface crack tip under a remote mixed mode loading condition has been studied with the aid of dynamic photoelastic method. The variation of stress field around the dynamic interface crack tip is photographed by using the Cranz-Shardin type camera having 10 6 fps rate. The dynamically propagating crack velocities and the shapes of isochromatic fringe loops are characterized for varying mixed load conditions in double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens. The dynamic interface crack tip complex stress intensity factors, K 1 and K 2, determined by a hybrid-experimental method are found to increase as the load mixture ratio of y/x (vertical/horizontal) values. Furthermore, it is found that the dynamically propagating interface crack velocities are highly dependent upon the varying mixed mode loading conditions and that the velocities are significantly small compared to those under the mode I impact loading conditions obtained by Shukla (Singh & Shukla, 1996a, b) and Rosakis (Rosakis et al., 1998) in the USA. 相似文献

Tensile properties and fracture toughness of monolithic aluminum (Al), glass fiber reinforced plastics (GFRPs) and glass fiber/aluminum
hybrid laminates (GFMLs) were examined in relation to the fracture processes of plain coupon and single-edge-notched specimens.
Elastic modulus and ultimate tensile strength of GFMLs showed characteristic dependences on the kind of Al, fiber orientation
and the Al/fiber layer composition ratio. Fracture toughnesses K C and G C of A-GFML-UD were comparable to those of GFRP-UD and were much superior to monolithic Al. However, GFML with a transverse
crack parallel to the fiber layer deteriorated largely in toughness. Microscopic observation of the fracture zone in the vicinity
of the crack tip revealed various modes of micro-cracks in the respective layers as well as fiber fractures and delamination
between fiber/Al layers. Such damage advances in GFMLs dependent on the orientation of the fiber layer and the Al/fiber composition
ratio strongly influenced the strength and toughness of GFMLs. 相似文献

Hydrogen embrittlement has been recognized as one of major degradation mechanisms causing the decrease of ductility and fracture toughness of several kinds of materials. In accordance with the demand for hydrogen fuels, it becomes more important to ensure safety of relevant facilities like pressure vessels, storage tanks and so on. The objective of this study is to examine fracture resistance of American Petroleum Institute (API)-X70 steel under highly pressurized hydrogen gaseous condition. The extended finite element method (XFEM) was adopted to predict J-R curves via a crack growth simulation approach. At first, preliminary analyses for SM490A carbon steel were carried out to demonstrate applicability of the XFEM, of which result was comparable to test data within 14 %. Subsequently, iterative numerical analyses were conducted to calibrate appropriate damage parameters for the API-X70 steel by using notched round bar specimens. Finally, crack growth simulations of 1T-compact tension (CT) specimens were performed adopting the calibrated parameters. JIC values determined from predicted J-R curves were compared with 1/2T-CT CTOD test data and relevant constraint effect was discussed. 相似文献

Due to the faster joint completion rates coupled with good mechanical properties, narrow gap submerged arc welding (NGSAW) is widely used for fabrication of thick-walled pressure vessels. Several researchers are working on further increase in productivity in NGSAW. In this paper, we propose to increase the quality and productivity in NGSAW through cold wire addition without addition of heat input. Further toughness at sub-zero temperature is also enhanced. The improvement in toughness in cold wire NGSAW is demonstrated through different tests such as impact energy test, fracture toughness tests, plane strain fracture toughness test K Ic, and crack tip opening displacement test. 相似文献

To understand the effects of substrate materials on the fracture behavior of adhesive joints, experimental studies and finite element analyses have both been conducted for double-cantilever-beams (DCB) with aluminum and steel substrates at different bond thickness ( h). Numerical results show that the region dominated by the crack singularity is much smaller than by the bond thickness. Very small plastic deformation may hence violate the requirements for small-scale yielding where the crack-tip field can be characterized uniquely by the stress intensity factor. Both critical strain energy release rate and J-integral for the joints with steel substrate are lower than those for the joints with aluminum substrate. Compared to the critical strain energy release rate, the critical J-integral is less sensitive to the substrate material if small plastic deformation occurs before cohesive failure takes place through the adhesive layer. For the joints with aluminum substrate, the fracture toughness initially increases and then decreases with bond thickness. Elastic–plastic crack-tip analysis indicates that at the same level of loading, a higher opening stress is observed in the joint with a smaller bond thickness. A self-similar stress field can be obtained by the normalised loading parameter, J/ hσ 0. 相似文献

It is well known in the fracture mechanics community that the performance of brittle materials, such as different types of ceramics which have low fracture toughness, improves significantly when fibers are added into the material. This is because the presence of fibers deters the crack propagation. Fibers bridge the gap between two adjacent surfaces of the crack and reduce the crack tip opening displacement, thus make it harder to propagate. Several investigators have experimentally studied how the length, diameter and volume fraction of fibers affect the fracture toughness of fiber reinforced brittle matrix composite materials. However, to this date not much work has been done to develope a micro-mechanics based simplified mathematical model of fiber reinforced composites that can quantitatively explain the increase of the fracture toughness and strength of a composite with volume fraction, length and diameter of fibers, used for strengthening the composite, this is what is attempted in this paper. 相似文献

To predict the fracture toughness of a single-layer graphene sheet (SLGS), analytical formulations were devised for the hexagonal honeycomb lattice using a linkage equivalent discrete frame structure. Broken bonds were identified by a sharp increase in the position of the atoms. As crack propagation progressed, the crack tip position and crack path were updated from broken bonds in the molecular dynamics (MD) model. At each step in the simulation, the atomic model was centered on the crack tip to adaptively follow its path. A new formula was derived analytically from the deformation and bending mechanism of solid-state carbon-carbon bonds so as to describe the mode I fracture of SLGS. The fracture toughness of single-layer graphene is governed by a competition between bond breaking and bond rotation at a crack tip. K- field based displacements were applied on the boundary of the micromechanical model, and FEM results were obtained and compared with theoretical findings. The critical stress intensity factor for a graphene sheet was found to be K IC = 2.63 ~ 3.2 MPa \(\sqrt m \) for the case of a zigzag crack. 相似文献

This study integrated the finite element method, fracture mechanics, and three-point bending test to investigate the fracture
characteristics of the interfacial bond between bone and cement. The fracture tests indicated that the interfacial fracture
toughness of the bone/cement specimens was 0.34 MN/m 3/2, with a standard deviation of 0.11 MN/m 3/2, which was in good agreement with the experimental data available in the literature. A finite element model of the experimental
testing specimen was used to predict the critical stress intensity factor (SIF) at the fracture load by the proposed fracture
analysis method. The critical SIF of the opening mode of the interface crack was 0.392 MN/m 3/2, which was slightly higher than the fracture toughness obtained in the experiment. Additionally, considering the coupled
effects of the crack opening mode and shearing mode, the critical effective SIF was 0.411 MN/m 3/2, with a phase angle of 17.2°. Comparisons of the results obtained from the bending test and numerical analysis made it obvious
that the fracture characteristics of the bonded interface between the bone and cement could be accurately predicted by the
proposed model. With this analysis model, a realistic investigation on the debonding behavior of cemented artificial prosthetic
components is highly expected. 相似文献

This paper presents a numerical method for simulating the crack propagation in functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) plates. The numerical method is based on 2-D natural element method (NEM) which can overcome the inherent demerits of FEM and conventional meshfree methods. The 3-D displacement field of cracked orthotropic plate is formulated using the (1, 1, 0)* hierarchical model and approximated by 2-D NEM. The thickness-wise mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) are computed using the modified interaction integral I(1,2) and the 2-D complex-valued crack-tip singular fields. The crack propagation angle is determined by the modified maximum circumferential stress (MCS) criterion, and the crack trajectories are predicted by an incremental crack propagation simulation scheme. The present numerical method is verified from the comparison of predicted crack trajectories with the published reference solutions. Moreover, using the developed numerical method, the crack trajectory characteristics of FG-CNTRC plates are parametrically investigated with respect to the major parameters. From the parametric investigation, it is found that the crack trajectories of FG-CNTRC are significantly influenced by the material orientation angle and the stiffness ratio. But, the effects of the initial crack angle and the volume fraction and volume fraction pattern of CNTs are not remarkable. 相似文献

Fracture toughness property is of significant importance when evaluating structural safety. The current research of fracture toughness mainly focused on crack in homogeneous material and experimental results. When the crack is located in a welded joint with high-gradient microstructure and mechanical property distribution, it becomes difficult to evaluate the fracture toughness behavior since the stress distribution may be affected by various factors. In recent years, numerical method has become an ideal approach to reveal the essence and mechanism of fracture toughness behavior. This study focuses on the crack initiation behavior and driving force at different interfaces in dissimilar steel welded joints. The stress and strain fields around the crack tip lying at the interfaces of ductile-ductile, ductile-brittle and brittle-brittle materials are analyzed by the numerical simulation. For the interface of ductile-ductile materials, the strain concentration on the softer material side is responsible for ductile fracture initiation. For the ductile-brittle interface, the shielding effect of the ductile material plays an important role in decreasing the fracture driving force on the brittle material side. In the case of brittle-brittle interface, a careful matching is required, because the strength mismatch decreases the fracture driving force in one side, whereas the driving force in another side is increased. The results are deemed to offer support for the safety assessment of welded structures. 相似文献

The conventional fracture mechanics parameters KIC and/or JIC are used as fracture toughness criteria necessary for the start of crack propagation under plane strain conditions. These criteria are defined only for small-scale yielding or infinitesimal deformation, though actual fractures involve large plastic deformation. Hence, measurement of fracture resistance during crack propagation is difficult with the conventional parameters.Estimating the mechanical conditions around the propagating crack tip is very useful for reducing damage during accidental fracture. Therefore, establishing a criterion for crack propagation with large-scale yielding is very important for not only science fields but also some industrial fields. For fractures with large-scale yielding, micro- or mesoscale damage processes in the crack tip vicinity have to be considered.In this study, Gurson's constitutive model for void occurrence and growth was introduced into the finite element method to discuss failure behavior in the crack tip vicinity. Fast crack propagation behavior under high-speed deformation was simulated using the moving finite element method based on the Delaunay automatic triangulation. The excellent far-field integral path independence of the T* integral was verified for pure mode I fast crack propagation and non-straight crack propagation under mixed mode conditions. The void growth conditions near the crack propagation path were evaluated. 相似文献

A hybrid method for photoelasticity is introduced and applied to the plane problems of isotropic polycarbonate plates with
a central crack under uniaxial and equal biaxial tensile loads. Also, the influences of equal biaxial tensile loads on the
isochromatic fringes, stress fields and stress intensity factors near the mixed mode crack-tip have been investigated. The
results show that, when an equal lateral tensile load is added to the specimen under uniaxial tensile load, the asymmetric
isochromatic fringes about the line of crack gradually become symmetric, and the slope of the isochromatic fringe loop near
the crack-tip is inclined towards the crack surface according to the increasing of the inclined angle of crack. Furthermore,
the shapes of distribution of all stress components are changed from asymmetric to symmetric. In the equal biaxial tensile
load condition against the uniaxial tensile load condition, the values of stress intensity factors are changed little, and
only the region of compressive stress of σ
x
/ σ
O is changed when β = 0°, but the values of K
I
/ K
0 are increased and those of K
II
/ K
0 become almost zero, namely, we have the mode I condition when β = 15°∼45°.
