Internal fracture of notched epoxy resins

The brittle fracture of round-notched epoxy resin bars subjected to plane strain bending has been studied at varying strain rates. Observations of fracture processes and surface morphologies revealed that the internal crack was nucleated at the plastic-elastic boundary when the plastic deformation zone at the notch root reached a certain size. A slip-line field theory allows calculation of the stress components at the plastic-elastic boundary from a knowledge of the location of the internal crack. An analysis of the data concluded that the triaxial stress level ahead of the plastic zone was raised by plastic constraints to an ideal fracture stress which is considerably larger than that of glassy thermoplastics.     

New and Improved Tests for Adhesion

Three new methods are discussed for measuring the work G_a, required to detach unit area of an adhering material from a substrate. The first is a simple modification of the Outwater double-torsion test for long rectangular plates, bonded together. This method is suitable for evaluating aluminum-epoxy bonds, for example, or the transverse strength of fibrous composites. The second is a pull-off test for long strips adhering to a rigid surface. It seems suitable for adhesive tapes and laminates. The third is a reconsideration of the “blister” test for films and coatings, in which a circular debond at the interface is made to grow by internal pressure. The relation obtained between pull-off force F for a strip, or blow-off pressure P for a layer, takes the unusual form:

F⁴ (or P⁴) ∞ KG³_a

where K is the tensile stiffness of the detaching layer. This dependence arises from the non-linear (cubic) relation between load or pressure and deflection in these configurations. Nevertheless, the product Fθ, where θ is the angle of detachment of a strip, or Py, where y is the height of a “blister”, give direct measures of the strength of adhesion G_a, independent of the stiffness of the adhering material and of the extent of detachment.     

韧性断裂准则在板料成形中应用研究进展

对板料成形中的成形极限应力图、最大变薄率、成形极限图以及韧性断裂准则等预测成形极限的方法进行了综述和分析,提出了利用韧性断裂准则能够较好地预测塑性差的板料成形极限,而且还能考虑应变路径的变化.利用有限元方法模拟时,韧性断裂准则既可以运用到完全耦合的弹塑性损伤模型的增量方法中,也可以运用到一步有限元逆算法中.指出了为准确地预测成形极限,除了提高有限元模拟精度外,应找到一种本质地反映材料性能的准则.     

采用离散元法分析路面结构的疲劳特征

为了在考虑疲劳损伤和恢复性能的基础上,获取路面结构在重复荷载作用下的疲劳特征,采用离散元方法建立了路面结构模型,并分析了在正弦重复荷载作用下路面结构沥青层底部的受力特性.由于路面荷载的随机性,分别以荷载大小、荷载间歇时间、荷载作用次序为考察对象,分析其对路面结构沥青层底受力特征的影响.研究结果表明:随着周期荷载作用次数的增大,沥青层底部拉应力快速增大至某一基础值,并在此基础值附近呈周期性波动,拉应变则在以一定幅值波动的同时,呈现整体水平先急剧增大后缓慢增大的规律;延长荷载作用的间歇时间,虽然一定程度上增大了拉应力和拉应变的波动幅值,但却显著降低了沥青层底拉应力和拉应变的整体水平;不同的荷载作用次序在沥青层底引起的应力应变状态不同,从小至大序列的荷载对沥青层造成的损伤明显小于从大至小序列的荷载.     

倾斜疲劳裂纹在混合型应力下张开及滑移特性

对于存在裂纹的机械零件或者构件,它很有可能会受到来自不同方向的作用力, 因此有必要研究裂纹在混合型应力条件下的传播特性. 该文使用具有不同倾斜角度的裂纹--这些裂纹是在应力比R=0的Ⅰ型循环应力下制作的,通过测量裂纹的开口方向和滑移方向的位移量,计算了裂纹端部Ⅰ型应力强度因子(KⅠ)mes和Ⅱ型应力强度因子(KⅡ)mes.裂纹的倾斜角度是指载荷方向与裂纹间的夹角.结果表明,对于存在压缩残余应力的疲劳裂纹,当倾斜角度较大,即β=60°时,应力强度因子的实验值(KⅠ)mes小于理论计算值(KⅠ),但此时实验值(KⅡ)mes与理论值(KⅡ)基本一致.另一方面,对于倾斜角度较小β=45°的疲劳裂纹,其(KⅠ)mes减少的同时,由于裂纹上下表面相互接触,从而导致(KⅡ)mes同时下降.     

Effects of laser heat treatment on the fracture morphologies of X80 pipeline steel welded joints by stress corrosion

The surfaces of X80 pipeline steel welded joints were processed with a CO2 laser, and the effects of laser heat treatment （LHT） on H2S stress corrosion in the National Association of Corrosion Engineers （NACE） solution were analyzed by a slow strain rate test. The fracture morphologies and chemical components of corrosive products before and after LHT were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy, respectively, and the mechanism of LHT on stress corrosion cracking was discussed. Results showed that the fracture for welded joints was brittle in its original state, while it was transformed to a ductile fracture after LHT. The tendencies of hydrogen-induced corrosion were reduced, and the stress corrosion sensitivity index decreased from 35.2% to 25.3%, indicating that the stress corrosion resistance of X80 pipeline steel welded joints has been improved by LHT.     

基于表面反应和扩散迁移控制的灰岩单裂隙渗流—溶解模型及其数值模拟

针对碳酸盐类可溶岩地区水电站坝址流场、化学场以及固相介质属性等随时间发生改变,从而对工程安全运行造成不利影响等问题,研究了灰岩地区地下水运移过程中各物理场间的相互作用,分析了影响灰岩溶解速率的两个因素,即表面反应控制和扩散迁移控制。在此基础上,建立了单裂隙中的渗流—溶解耦合模型,并进行数值求解。模拟结果表明,在垂直裂隙延伸方向,其溶蚀锋面为非齐整平面,而是呈似“虫洞”状非均一变化,而沿裂隙延伸方向即自上游侧向下游方向溶蚀程度逐渐减轻;而通过裂隙的流量呈现随时间逐渐增大的趋势,但变幅不大;根据流量求得的等效水力隙宽,其增幅和增长速率均小于实际平均隙宽;同时,化学场中Ca2+浓度的分布与裂隙开度变化具有相似性,不同时刻下上游侧反应速率R均大于下游侧。就反应机制而言,在初期均受表面反应控制,而随反应进行,位于上游补给区部位转为受扩散迁移控制,但在下游位置仍受表面反应控制。
