汽车用6005A-T6铝合金动态性能研究

通过对6005A-T6铝合金进行准静态拉伸试验和动态拉伸试验,研究了应变速率对6005A-T6铝合金准静态和动态力学性能及断裂行为的影响。6005A-T6铝合金的强度随着应变速率提高而增大,应变速率200/s拉伸的抗拉强度、屈服强度分别较准静态拉伸提升30MPa、25MPa,其中以准静态到应变速率10/s的过程中,材料的抗拉强度、屈服强度上升最为明显;6005A-T6铝合金塑性随着应变速率的增大而逐渐增大,当应变速率达到200/s时塑性反而下降。在高速拉伸变形状态下,位错密度的增加和滑移带的增多是导致高速状态下强度及延伸率提高的主要原因;当应变速率达到200/s时由于拉伸速率过快,晶粒来不及进行大量变形是断后延伸率反而降低的主要原因。     

高颗粒含量B4C／Al复合材料的高温压缩力学行为

利用Gleeble3500热模拟机对高颗粒含量B4C／A1复合材料进行了温度范围为298～773K,应变率范围为1×10-3-5S^ （-1）的单轴压缩力学行为测试。结果表明：由于高颗粒含量B4C／A1复合材料在动态载荷和静态载荷作用下的破坏方式不同,导致了在高温条件下复合材料的动态强度随温度的下降速率要小于静态强度的下降速率。当温度从室温升高到773K时,复合材料的应变率敏感指数从0．02增加到0．13,该现象表明,该高颗粒含量复合材料的应变率敏感指数是温度的函数。

Compressive properties and energy absorption characteristics of open-cell nickel foams

Open-cell nickel foams with different relative densities and pre-stretching degrees were subjected to room temperature quasi-static compressive tests to explore their compressive properties. The compressive properties of the nickel foams including yield strength, elastic modulus, energy absorption density and energy absorption efficiency were calculated accurately. The results show that the compressive properties of yield strength, elastic modulus and energy absorption density increase with the increase of relative density of nickel foams. The compressive properties are sensitive to the pre-stretching degree, and the values of yield strength, elastic modulus and energy absorption density decrease with the increase of pre-stretching degree. However, the energy absorption efficiency at the densification strain state exhibits the independence of relative density and pre-stretching degree. The value of energy absorption efficiency reaches its peak when the strain is at the end of the collapse plateau region.     

Carbon-Nanofiber-Reinforced Syntactic Foams: Compressive Properties and Strain Rate Sensitivity

The current study is focused on exploring the possibility of reinforcing syntactic foams with carbon nanofibers (CNFs). Syntactic foams are hollow, particle-filled composites that are widely used in marine structures and are now finding applications in other modes of transportation due to their high stiffness-to-weight ratio. The compressive properties of syntactic foams reinforced with CNFs are characterized over the strain rate range of 10^?4 to 3,000 s^?1, which covers seven orders of magnitude. The results show that despite lower density with respect to neat epoxy, CNF/syntactic foams can have up to 7.3% and 15.5% higher quasi-static compressive strength and modulus, respectively, for the compositions that were characterized in the current study. In addition, these properties can be tailored over a wide range by means of hollow particle wall thickness and volume fraction, and CNF volume fraction. The compressive strength of CNF/syntactic foams is also shown to generally increase by up to a factor of 3.41 with increasing strain rate when quasi-static and high-strain-rate testing data are compared. Extensive microscopy of the CNF/syntactic foams is conducted to understand the failure and energy absorption mechanisms. Crack bridging by CNFs is observed in the specimens, which can delay final failure and increase the energy absorption capacity of the specimens. Deformation of CNFs is also noticed in the material microstructure. The deformation and failure mechanisms of nanofibers are related to the test strain rate and the structure of CNFs.     

应变率对泡沫Al-Mg合金压缩性能的影响

Microstructural Evolutions of AA7055 Aluminum Alloy Under Dynamic and Quasi-static Compressions

The microstructural evolution of AA7055 aluminum alloy under dynamic impact loading with the strain rate of 1.3 × 10^4 s^-1 controlled by a split Hopkinson pressure bar was investigated, and compared with that under quasi-static mechanical loading in compression with strain rate of 1.0 × 10^-3 s^-1. The quasi-static-compressed sample exhibited equiaxed dislocation cells, which were different from the elongated and incomplete dislocation cells for the alloy undergoing dynamic compression. The high strain-rate compression also induced the formation of localized shear bands in which the recrystallizations characterized as fine equiaxed grains were observed. The microstructural evolutions under both quasi-static and dynamic compressions are rationalized in terms of the dislocation cell model combined with the dislocation kinetics, in addition to the adiabatic temperature rise in shear bands at high strain rate.     

Fatigue of a laterally constrained closed cell aluminum foam

An experimental investigation into the constant stress amplitude compression–compression fatigue behavior of closed-cell aluminum foam, both with and without lateral constraint, was conducted. Results show that while the early stages of strain accumulation due to fatigue loading are independent of constraint, the rapid strain accumulation stage behaviors are sensitive to the constraint. This was ascribed to the noticeable hardening with plastic deformation observed under constraint during quasi-static loading, which in turn reduces the effective maximum stress experienced by the foam specimen during fatigue loading. This was demonstrated through a simple empirical model that connects fatigue strain accumulation without constraint to that under constraint. Complementary X-ray tomography experiments suggest that the fatigue behavior of the foams is relatively less sensitive to morphological defects such as missing walls than the quasi-static mechanical properties such as plastic strength. Evaluation of the energy absorption behavior suggests that the damage that accumulates during fatigue does not affect the energy-absorbing ability of the foam adversely.

Positive Strain Rate Sensitivity and Deformation Behavior of a Fe-29Mn-3Al-3Si TWIP Steel

The Fe-29Mn-3Al-3Si twin-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel is used to conduct quasi-static compression and dynamic impact deformation with strain rates ranging from 8.3 × 10^-4 to 3800 s^-1. The microstructures and properties of deformed samples under different strain rates were investigated comparatively. These results show that positive strain rate sensitivity was observed with the increase in strain rates and that there was a significant difference in strain rate sensitivity factor (ṁ) between quasi-static compression (ṁ = 0.029) and dynamic impact deformation (ṁ = 0.190). Compared to the quasi-static compression, the dynamic impact deformation exhibited higher yield strength. Microstructural examination reveals that the primary twins were frequently found during the quasi-static compression process, and the secondary twins were rarely observed. However, the secondary and multi-fold deformation twins were florescent in the dynamic impact samples. At the initial stage of dynamic impact deformation, partial dislocations and staking faults on multiple conjugate {111} planes were simultaneously activated and produced a large number of Lomer-Cottrell dislocations, resulting in a large increase in yield strength during dynamic impact.

为了探讨C5191磷青铜在高应变速率条件下的动态响应,解决高速冲压工艺问题,本文利用电子万能试验机和分离式Hopkinson拉杆装置对C5191磷青铜分别进行应变速率为0.001S-1和500S-1、1000S-1、1500S-1的准静态和动态拉伸试验,结合SEM和TEM等手段,研究了C5191磷青铜的动态拉伸性能及其变形机制。结果表明：C5191磷青铜高应变速率动态拉伸与准静态条件相比较,其屈服强度和抗拉强度分别提升了32.77%和11.07%;应变硬化指数由0.075增加到0.251;材料强度应变速率敏感指数由0.005变化到0.022,呈现出明显的应变速率敏感性;高应变速率动态拉伸过程中,位错运动速度加快,导致位错“近程阻力”加大,使C5191磷青铜的变形抗力随着应变速率的增加而增大。可动位错数量的显著增多,多系滑移的开启,以及绝热温升软化效应一定程度上提高了C5191磷青铜高应变速率动态拉伸时的塑性。
