基于梯度降温的叠层制备热残余应力

针对叠层制备工艺的热残余问题,为消除传统的基于同步降温假设的理论解与实际热残余现象的差异,本文在充分考虑成形过程中沿长度和厚度方向形成的温度梯度的基础上,分别建立在层平面和厚度方向引起的热残余变形和应力的解析解,并根据不同叠层制备工艺,将降温梯度概括为同步降温、均等梯度降温、非均等梯度降温、瞬态降温的4种模式.算例表明,梯度降温会造成在层平面和厚度方向均产生热残余现象.讨论了4种梯度降温模式对热残余程度的影响,梯度越大影响越大;合理解释了同一种材料制备的工件也会因降温梯度而产生明显的弯曲变形;对于梯度材料,叠层制备顺序会显著影响热残余的程度.研究表明,梯度降温假设符合实际制备、工艺,更准确地揭示了叠层制备热残余现象产生的机理,优化制备工艺缩小降温梯度是解决热残余问题的有效途径.

Modeling of thermally induced damage in the processing of Cr–Al2O3 composites

Thermal stresses induced during the cooling of Cr–Al₂O₃ (MMC) processed by sintering are modeled numerically using the FEA. The composite microstructure is modeled as (i) random distribution of ceramic particles (voxels) in the metal matrix, and (ii) using micro-CT scans of the real microstructure transformed into a FE mesh. Numerical simulations of the thermal residual stresses are compared with the test data measured by X-ray diffraction. A simple numerical model is then proposed to predict the overall elastic properties of the composite with account of the porosity and damage induced by the thermal stresses. Comparison of the model predictions with the measured data for Young’s modulus is presented.     

Optimum Design of Thick-Walled Multi-Layered CFRP Pipes to Reduce Process-Induced Residual Stresses

Process-induced residual stresses may cause cracking in thick-walled multi-layered CFRP pipes during the curing of the pipes, significantly affecting the ultimate structural performance. Several factors influence the amount of the residual stresses, such as thermal and elastic properties of CFRP, and stacking sequences and dimensions of pipes. This paper deals with the optimum design of thick-walled multi-layered CFRP pipes by minimising the process-induced residual stresses under some constraints of structural stiffnesses. An analytic model based on quasi-static thermoelasticity is adopted for the calculation of the residual stresses in the multi-layered CFRP pipes. The numerical results of optimisation show that, in the case of cross-ply pipes, the residual stresses can be reduced to a certain level by controlling ply thicknesses. However, in real process conditions, the optimised pipes are susceptible to cracking because the transverse residual stress is still large in a strength-based sense. To further suppress the residual stresses, the effects of stacking sequence, wall thickness and axial pre-tension on the optimum solutions are carefully examined.     

Effect of the smart cure cycle on the performance of the co-cured aluminum/composite hybrid shaft

In this work, a smart curing method for the co-cured aluminum/composite hybrid shaft which can reduce the thermal residual stresses generated during co-curing bonding operation between the composite layer and the aluminum tube was applied. In order to reduce the thermal residual stresses generated during co-cure bonding stages due to the difference of coefficients of thermal expansions (CTE) of the composite and the aluminum tube, a smart cure cycle composed of cooling and reheating cycles was applied. The heating and cooling operations were realized using a pan type heater and water cooling system. The thermo-mechanical properties of the high modulus carbon epoxy composite were measured by a DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) and rheometer to obtain an optimal time to apply the cooling operation. Curvature experiment of the co-cure bonded steel/composite strip was performed to investigate the effect of cure cycle on generation of the thermal residual stress. Also, the thermal residual stresses of the aluminum/composite hybrid shaft were measured using strain gauges with respect to cure cycles.

Finally, torsional fatigue test and vibration test of the aluminum/composite hybrid shaft were performed, and it has been found that this method might be used effectively in manufacturing of the co-cured aluminum/composite hybrid propeller shaft to improve the dynamic torque characteristics.     

Mechanics of hot isostatic pressing in intermetallic matrix composites

Thermal residual and mechanical stresses generated by hot isostatic pressing, cooling and subsequent mechanical loading of SCS6/Ni₃Al and SCS6/Ti₃Al composites with uncoated and carbon-coated fibres have been simulated by micromechanical modelling. The solutions were found in a periodic hexagonal array model of the microstructure with the finite element method. The intermetallic matrices were assumed to be elastic-plastic, with temperature-dependent properties. The fibre and coating were assumed to be elastic. Local stress fields and overall response were found for several processing sequences. The results suggest that plastic deformation of the matrix during cooling from fabrication temperatures reduces residual stresses. The Ni₃Al matrix system yields more easily than the Ti₃Al system. HIP programmes that promote such yielding are proposed and analysed in both systems. Compliant and expansive fibre coatings tend to reduce the thermal stresses, but may also enhance the interface stresses in the matrix under overall mechanical loads.     

Modeling of residual stresses variation with thermal cycling in thermal barrier coatings

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are commonly used as protective coatings for engine metal components to improve performance. Many investigations have shown that residual stresses in TBCs applications play an important role, but the residual stresses are mainly obtained by simulation method. As we know, there are a few analytical solutions of residual stress in TBCs system. In this paper, a new two-dimensional analytical solution has been obtained under the condition of non-linear coupled effects of temperature gradient, thermal fatigue, deposited residual stress, thermally grown oxide (TGO) thickening, elasto-plasticity deformation and creep deformation of TBC. Moreover, the influences of bending moment and curvature on stress variation in TBCs are considered during thermal cycling. The calculated results are in agreement with the prior experimental results.     

The influence of distinct fiber arrangement on the thermo-mechanical behavior of steel fiber-reinforced thermoplastic matrix composites

The effect of different fiber arrangements on mechanical behavior was investigated by using both experimental study and finite elements analyses. In particular, this study examined resultant residual stresses and plastic strains of steel-fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite discs under constant convective air cooling conditions. Three composite discs were manufactured with an identical concentration of woven, circular and radial arrays. The thermal and mechanical properties of the composite discs were measured. The numerical and experimental cooling curves were converged to correctly describe the convective cooling condition of the finite element analyses. After the cooling, the residual stresses and plastic strains in each disc were compared with one another and the results were analyzed. No thermal residual stress or plastic strain was observed for the woven fiber array. Residual stress and plastic strain found in the circular fiber array was twice as high as those in the radial fiber array. It is concluded that the reinforcement fiber array of thermoplastic composites is an effective parameter to describe their thermo-mechanical properties for the formation of thermal residual stresses and plastic deformation.     

Influence of thermal residual stresses on the composite macroscopic behavior

The influence of the thermal residual stress on the deformation behavior of a composite has been analyzed with a new micromechanical method. The method is based on secant moduli approximation and a new homogenized effective stress to characterize the plastic state of the matrix. It is found that the generated thermal residual stresses after cooling and their influence on the subsequent deformation behavior depends significantly on the aspect ratio of the inclusions. With prolate inclusions, the presence of thermal residual stresses generate a higher compressive hardening curves of the composite, but it is reversed with oblate inclusions. For particle reinforced composite, thermal residual stresses induce a tensile hardening curve higher than the compressive one and this is in agreement with experimental observations.
