The effects of rubber content and temperature on dynamic fracture toughness of ABS materials have been investigated based on the J‐integral and crack opening displacement (COD, δ) concepts by an instrumented Charpy impact test. A multiple specimens R‐curve method and stop block technique are used. It is shown that the materials exhibit a different toughness behavior, depending on rubber content and temperature. The resistance against stable crack initiation (J0.2 or δ0.2) increases with increasing rubber content. However, J0.2 first increased with increasing temperature until reaching the maximum value; after that, it decreases with further increasing the temperature. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

The fracture toughness of a liquid crystalline epoxy was compared with that of a standard bisphenol‐A based epoxy to understand how both the liquid crystalline structure and the crosslink density affect fracture toughness. For the liquid crystalline epoxy, the liquid crystalline domain size decreased with increasing temperature of cure and away from the stoichiometric formulation. Quantitative fractography showed that there is a competition between the liquid crystalline domain structure and the stoichiometry in determining the fracture toughness. At some cure conditions the effect of the domains is dominant. When the cure conditions are adjusted to reduce the domain size, the domains become too small to affect the fracture toughness, and thus the effect of the stoichiometry is dominant. The result is that the formation of liquid crystalline structure only increases the fracture toughness relative to that of a traditional epoxy at and near the stoichiometric formulation. 相似文献

A method is described by which the true energy release rate at fracture may be determined from a conventional impact test. This method is then used to investigate the effect of temperature on impact strength and the results are described in terms of a yield stress dependent thickness effect. Blunt notch data are also given and plane stress and plane strain energy absorption mechanisms are postulated to account for the observed behaviour. 相似文献

Aggregate shape and surface texture expressed in terms of an angularity factor have been measured on 17 different rock aggregates using the flow cone test. Critical strain-energy release rates (GIc) were determined from centrally notched beams prepared from mortars using the same rock aggregates. The correlation coefficient between the two variables is 0.61, significant at the 99% confidence level. The correlation is explained in terms of the aggregates ability to arrest crack development, aggregate interlock effects and surface energy considerations. 相似文献

This article is a detailed review of the strain rate dependence of fracture toughness properties in polymer composite materials. An attempt is made to draw together all the strain rate studies done in the past and to elucidate the reasons given by the authors of the reviewed papers for the trends resulting from their studies to better understand the strain rate effects on the fracture toughness of fiber reinforced polymer composite materials. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The reliable operation of solid oxide fuel cell stacks (SOFCs) depends strongly on the structural integrity of the sealing material. Indentation testing is used to determine the mechanical properties of glass-ceramic sealants typically used for solid oxide fuel cell stacks, in particular for the evaluation of elastic modulus, hardness and fracture toughness. Different sealing materials partly with reinforcement by metallic or ceramic filler (particles or short fibers) are tested. The materials are tested after the joining procedure and after additional annealing at operation temperatures to test the effect of further crystallization that might take place. Furthermore, the effect of environmentally enhanced slow crack growth at low temperatures in water saturated atmosphere is investigated. Finally, self-healing effects of the glass ceramic materials with and without pre-annealing at typical operation temperatures are considered. 相似文献

In glass-ceramics (GCs), on cooling from the crystallization temperature, internal residual stresses are generated due to the difference between the thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) of the crystal phase(s) and the residual glass. These stresses could degrade or promote their mechanical properties. In this work, we varied the magnitude of the residual stresses in lithium silicate GCs by designing their microstructures. The level of internal stresses was measured using (Synchrotron) X-ray diffraction. The effects of anisotropy of thermal expansion, crystal shape, and intensity of the residual stresses were analyzed and compared using theoretical models. We extended the Hsueh-Becher model to include the thermal expansion anisotropy of the orthorhombic lithium disilicate (LS2) crystals. We found that the average residual stresses within the LS2 crystals are compressive or null (−100 to ~0) and highly anisotropic. Most importantly, within the limits of this study, we found no evidence for the influence of (compressive or null) residual stresses on the fracture toughness of the studied GCs. Within the crystal size range from 1 to 5 μm, a highly crystallized volume fraction coupled to relatively large crystals (5 μm) of high elastic modulus improved the glass-ceramic fracture toughness. This result can guide the microstructural design of novel tough GCs. 相似文献

The effects of particle size of core-shell rubber on the fracture toughness of rubber-modified epoxies were investigated. Various sizes of core-shell rubber particles, from 0.16 to 1.2 μm in diameter, were synthesized by seeded emulsion polymerization. Particle size effects were clearly seen for lower crosslinked diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA)/piperidine resin. Fracture toughness increased as the particle size of core-shell rubber decreased from 1.2 to 0.4 μm. On the other hand, fracture toughness was constant in this range of particle sizes for higher crosslinked DGEBA/diaminodiphenylmethane (DDM) resin. Cavitation in the rubbery core and shear deformation in the matrix are the toughening mechanisms for DGEBA/piperidine resin, whereas cavitation is the only mechanism for DGEBA/DDM resin. Toughening effectiveness decreased with <0.2 μm core-shell rubber particles since they are difficult to cavitate. The effects of core-shell rubber content on fracture toughness of rubber-modified epoxies were also examined. The optimum rubber content for maximum toughness of rubber-modified epoxies decreased with decreased particle size of core-shell rubber in shear deformable DGEBA/piperidine resin. But the fracture toughness of rubber-modified DGEBA/DDM resins increased as the rubber content increased. 相似文献

The change in fracture toughness and its dependence on the content of clay nanoplatelets and adhesion at the interface between clay nanoplatelets and anhydride-cured epoxy matrix are discussed. Three clay nanoplatelets with different chemical modifications were used in this investigation. To fabricate nanocomposites, the clay nanoplatelets were sonicated in acetone for 2 h. The role of the clay nanoplatelets in the mechanical/fracture properties was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Bright-field TEM micrographs showed excellent dispersion of clay nanoplatelets in epoxy matrix. Both intercalation and exfoliation of clay nanoplatelets were observed depending on clay modification. Compact tension specimens were used for fracture testing. The fracture toughness increased with increasing clay content. The fracture toughness of clay/epoxy nanocomposites varied with the clay morphology in the epoxy matrix. Different morphologies of the fracture surfaces, highly dependent on the morphology of dispersed clay nanoplatelets, were observed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The fracture toughness was found to be correlated with the fracture surface roughness measured by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). 相似文献

Summary. The effect of amine/epoxy ratio on the fracture toughness (KIc) of tetrafunctional epoxy resin was investigated. KIc value was measured by single-edge notch-bend test. The KIc value of the tetrafunctional epoxy resin increased with increasing the amount of amine curing agent. This result was explained
with the structural viewpoint of the epoxy network. The network structure of the tetrafunctional epoxy was analyzed with dynamic
thermomechanical measurement and in-situ near IR technique.

Measuring the fracture toughness (KIc) of glasses still remains a difficult task, raising experimental and theoretical problems as well. The available methods to estimate KIc are reviewed, with emphasis on their respective advantages and drawbacks. In view of our current understanding, this analysis gives precedence to the SEPB method. The ultimate glass strength, the critical flaw size, and the indentation load for the onset of crack initiation are discussed, in the light of the fundamentals of fracture mechanics and classical background regarding the mechanics of brittle materials. Analytical expressions were further proposed to predict the fracture energy and fracture toughness of glasses from different chemical systems from their nominal compositions. The theoretical values were compared with the experimental ones, as obtained by self‐consistent methods when available. The agreement observed in most cases suggests that measured KIc values correspond to the crack propagation regime (as opposed to the crack initiation threshold), and supports previous investigations in glasses and ceramics, which showed that a crack tip is nearly atomically sharp in these materials (but for metallic glasses). Some ideas to design tougher glasses are finally presented. 相似文献

Si3N4 composites with 3 and 5?wt% of graphene nanoplatelet (GNP) additions were prepared by spark plasma sintering. We used both commercially available GNPs and thinner few-layer graphene nanoplatelets (FL-GNPs) prepared by further exfoliation through ball milling with melamine addition. We found that by employing thinner FL-GNPs as filler material a 100% increase in the fracture toughness of Si3N4/3?wt% FL-GNP composites (10.5?±?0.2?MPa?m1/2) can be achieved as compared to the monolithic Si3N4 samples (5.1?±?0.3?MPa?m1/2), and 60% increase compared to conventional Si3N4/3?wt% GNP composites (6.6?±?0.4?MPa?m1/2). For 5?wt% filler content the increase of the fracture toughness was near 50% for both GNP and FL-GNP fillers. The hardness of the composites decreased with increasing GNP content. However, composites reinforced with 5?wt% of FL-GNPs displayed 30% higher Vickers hardness (12.8?±?0.2?GPa) than their counterparts comprising conventional GNP fillers (9.8?±?0.2?GPa). We attribute the enhanced mechanical properties obtained with thinner FL-GNPs to their higher aspect ratio leading to a more homogeneous dispersion, higher interface area, as well as smaller pores in the ceramic matrix. 相似文献

Phenolphthalein poly(ether ketone) (PEK-C) was tested using an instrumented impact tester to determine the temperature effect on the fracture toughness Kc and critical strain energy release rate Gc. Two different mechanisms, namely the relaxation processes and thermal blunting of the crack tip were used to explain the temperature effect on the fracture toughness. Examination of the fracture surfaces revealed the presence of crack growth bands. It is suggested that these bands are the consequence of variations in crack growth along crazes that are formed in the crack tip stress field. As the crack propagates, the stress is relaxed locally, decreasing the growth rate allowing a new bundle of crazes to nucleate along which the crack advances. 相似文献

The fracture toughness of rigid poly(vinylchloride) pipe materials has been investigated over a range of temperatures and rates. Conditions are described for valid fracture toughness (KIC) tests and notch insensitive (ductile) behavior; time-temperature effects on transitions in KIC are defined. The modes of crack extension are characterized over a range of temperatures, and the mechanisms of crack resistance are discussed, including some quantitative data for the yielded zone at the crack tip. 相似文献

The paper presents the study on the relationship among mechanical properties, including compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, fracture toughness, and rupture probability of coarse aggregate (RPCA) of high-performance concrete (HPC) with varied aggregate sizes. For the maximum aggregate size of 16 mm, the compressive and splitting tensile strength and the corresponding RPCA reached the maximum values. As the mechanical properties linearly increased with the increasing RPCA, RPCA has been confirmed as a useful parameter to express the mechanical behavior of HPC. Preliminary analysis also showed good relationships between the mechanical properties and RPCA. 相似文献

Reactive sintering of zircon and alumina and zirconia additions to mullite are well‐established methods for improving the poor fracture toughness of mullite. While it is clear that transformation toughening is responsible for the improved toughness by addition of partially stabilized zirconia, it is not clear why adding unstabilized zirconia increases the toughness although microcracking and crack deflection have been suggested. Therefore, the fracture toughness of a mullite composite with 20 vol% unstabilized zirconia and a monolithic mullite were investigated at ambient conditions and at temperatures up to 1225°C. It was found that monoclinic zirconia increases the toughness at ambient conditions from the monolithic mullite value of 1.9 to 3.9 MPa·m1/2. The toughness of the composite with zirconia remains relatively constant from ambient to 600°C but then decreases rapidly. The mechanism for the toughness enhancement as well as the reason for its variation with temperature are explained using changes in residual stress state as deduced using the sphere in shell model from the measured thermal expansion behavior. 相似文献

Summary Compact tension specimens are subjected to applied compression prior to fracture toughness testing. The measured fracture toughness, KQ, is approximately constant at low prestrains but it decreases with further increase in strain due to the presence of residual tensile stresses at the notch tip. KQ is found to be time-dependent due to relaxation of notchtip residual stresses. 相似文献

The fracture toughness was measured by the Vickers indentation method and by chevron notch for a series of xCaO-xAl2O3-(100 − 2x)SiO2 glasses. As the silica content was increased, the fixed ξ value Vickers indentation fracture toughness (IFT) values increased, while the chevron notch values decreased. Glasses with higher silica contents deform with more densification and less shear when indented with a Vickers tip, thus resulting in reduced residual stress in the region surrounding the indent. The reduction in residual stress for high silica glasses results in less median/radial crack extension and unreasonably high Vickers IFT values. This indicates that a fixed ξ value of 0.016 is not appropriate for the glasses in this series. By repeating the IFT method with a sharper 110° four-sided pyramidal diamond indenter, it is demonstrated that indentation toughness and chevron notch toughness values now trend in the same direction and are in good agreement with a fixed ξ value of 0.0297. With the sharper indenter tip, the densification component to the deformation is substantially reduced for all glass types such that it no longer has such a prominent influence on the residual stress field. This result suggests that a fixed ξ value IFT method may be appropriate for all glass types if a sharper indenter tip is substituted in the place of the Vickers tip. 相似文献

The growth of crazes from a sharp crack in extruded polycarbonate sheets immersed in ethanol was measured. Below a critical level of the stress intensity factor craze growth was controlled by solvent diffusion through the end of the notch and fracture was prevented by craze arrest. Above a critical level, growth was controlled by either end diffusion or a combination of end diffusion and diffusion through the faces of the extruded sheet, and in both cases the final result was brittle fracture. The effects of annealing and quenching was studied at various sheet thicknesses. In thin specimens annealing and/or quenching had a significant effect on crack growth rate, which was predictable in terms of the state of stress. As the specimen thickness increased, causing a transition from plane stress to plane strain conditions, the previous thermal history had a diminishing effect on craze growth rate. The effects of thermal history and thickness on the fracture toughness of polycarbonate was also investigated. It was found that thickness was the more important variable and that at a ½ in. thickness the effects of thermal history were statistically insignificant. The effect of ethanol exposure on fracture toughness was studied. It was found that exposure to solvent initially caused an increase in kIC with time to a maximum value, followed by a substantial decrease with time which eventually led to brittle fracture. This behavior was explained as a competition between plasticization of the crack tip and coalescence of crazes to form microcracks. 相似文献

In the present study, the effect of various levels of bulk and free water content and its distribution on the colour of cotton fabrics dyed with direct dyes and their combinations were analysed. Twill and plain structures with two different parameters of fabric construction were chosen. The dyed samples were adjusted to different levels of wet pick‐up, with water ranging from 50% to 125% on the bone dry weight of the fabric (odwf) to achieve various levels of bulk water content. Further, the residual moisture content of the samples was adjusted to 40–10% odwf by means of hot air drying at different temperatures to obtain different levels of free water content and its distribution. For the assessment of colour and its comparison, the parameters ΣK/S and values were used. In order to bring out the true effect of moisture distribution and fabric structure, normalisation of dye uptake in the fabric based on weight and area were considered, respectively. The plain structures show a higher increase in colour than the twill structures when the bulk water content increases. At the same time, the fabric structures do not play a significant role, with increase in colour attributable to change in drying temperature. The findings reveal that the bulk water content, drying temperature and fabric geometry affects the colour of the fabric significantly. 相似文献
