人工水晶的压痕断裂行为及其 K_(1c)测量

藉助于声发射技术,研究了在 Vickers 钻石压头作用下人工水晶的压痕断裂行为。压头对角线与晶体试样的相对取向是,使得水晶Ⅰ和水晶Ⅱ的压痕诱发径向/中位断裂,分别沿着(10(?)0)/(1(?)10)和(11(?)0/(1(?)00)晶面对发展。压痕断裂过程中的声发射特征表明,除了随着压痕特征参数的发展所引起的准静态—声发射外,有三个相互独立的,与径向/中位裂纹的成核、径向/中位裂纹突入试样表面、以及裂纹分岔或侧向裂纹萌生等过程相关的声发射效应。以 Vickers 压痕技术测得 K_(c2)的结果与以一般力学法及 Knoop 压痕技术的测试结果作了比较。断裂韧性与晶体学取向的关系亦作了分析。实验表明,水晶Ⅰ和水晶Ⅱ具有相同的 K_(1c)值。其原因是,两种试样的径向/中位裂纹实际上沿着同样的{1100}/{1120}晶面对扩展。至于从缺口梁法或 Knoop 压痕技术得到的 K_(1c)值,由于水晶Ⅰ和水晶Ⅱ的主裂纹分别沿着(1(?)10)和(1(?)00)晶面扩展;它们的 K_(1c)值与断裂能随着晶体学取向而变有关,因而也就各不相同。     

试样厚度对共聚聚烯烃材料断裂行为参数的影响

采用基本断裂功法对共聚聚丙烯压制双边缺口拉伸试样的断裂行为进行研究,分析了厚度变化对材料多项断裂参数的影响。结果表明,当厚度在0.6 mm~1.1 mm时,材料的断裂韧性we随厚度增大呈现出明显的下降趋势,下降幅度约30%,主要由屈服后的we,n降低所致,屈服前的we,y无明显变化;材料的比塑性功βwp随厚度增大未呈现明显的变化,且屈服前的βywp,y和屈服后的βnwp,n均无明显变化。同时求得了外推的零韧带断裂位移e0,b和最大载荷P0,y,随厚度增大,前者具有一定的下降趋势,后者则显示出较大的增长趋势。     

摩托车离合器主轴断裂失效分析及其机理

本文分析了摩托车离合器主轴用材、金相组织、显微硬度以及断口扫描电镜(SEM)宏观、微观形貌,结果表明,该摩托车离合器主轴断裂主要原因是轴颈突变截面尖角顶端曲率半径ρ值太小,形成很大的应力集中从而形成裂纹源,然后裂纹逐步扩展造成的。     

Characterization of residual stresses from cold expansion using spatial statistics

Residual stress fields from cold expansion have been widely used to extend the fatigue life of aircraft structures. However, the spatial statistical character of these residual stress fields has not been established and has not been incorporated in current analysis methods. The objective of this study was to establish a spatial statistical method to quantify the residual stress field around a cold expanded hole. A framework called the Spatial Analysis of Residual Stress (SpARS) was developed utilizing spatial correlation, response surface modelling techniques and statistical resampling methods to characterize the residual stress field. Our results showed that tolerance bounds on residual stress can be quantified using this method. We also demonstrated the SpARS method using recently published round robin case studies. The newly developed model will be useful for aircraft structural fatigue crack growth analyses to incorporate residual stress fields for extending inspection intervals for fatigue and fracture critical structures.     

Stress intensity factor computation using the method of fundamental solutions: mixed‐mode problems

The method of fundamental solutions is applied to the computation of stress intensity factors in linear elastic fracture mechanics. The displacements are approximated by linear combinations of the fundamental solutions of the Cauchy–Navier equations of elasticity and the leading terms for the displacement near the crack tip. Two algorithms are developed, one using a single domain and one using domain decomposition. Numerical results are given. Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

全层片状TiAl基合金断裂过程的原位观察

利用ＳＥＭ拉伸台，研究了Ｔｉ－３３Ａｌ－３Ｃｒ－０．５Ｍｏ合金的室温拉伸断裂动态过程。试验结果表明，具有全层片状显微组织的ＴｉＡｌ合金室温断裂韧性较高，归因于合金拉伸过程中裂纹尖端发生分叉致使应力松弛而使裂纹钝化；在变形过程中，主裂纹尖端附近的微裂纹之间形成剪切韧带，剪切韧带韧化是ＴｉＡｌ合金的一种韧化机理。     

Obesity and Bone Health: A Complex Relationship

Recent scientific evidence has shown an increased risk of fractures in patients with obesity, especially in those with a higher visceral adipose tissue content. This contradicts the old paradigm that obese patients were more protected than those with normal weight. Specifically, in older subjects in whom there is a redistribution of fat from subcutaneous adipose tissue to visceral adipose tissue and an infiltration of other tissues such as muscle with the consequent sarcopenia, obesity can accentuate the changes characteristic of this age group that predisposes to a greater risk of falls and fractures. Other factors that determine a greater risk in older subjects with obesity are chronic proinflammatory status, altered adipokine secretion, vitamin D deficiency, insulin resistance and reduced mobility. On the other hand, diagnostic tests may be influenced by obesity and its comorbidities as well as by body composition, and risk scales may underestimate the risk of fractures in these patients. Weight loss with physical activity programs and cessation of high-fat diets may reduce the risk. Finally, more research is needed on the efficacy of anti-osteoporotic treatments in obese patients.     

Numerical investigation of fracture behavior of tunnel by excavation loading

A rock failure process analysis model, RFPA2D code, a two-dimensional numerical code, were proposed. The code not only satisfied the global equilibrium, strain consistent and nonlinear constitutive relationship of rock and soil materials but also took into account the heterogeneous characteristics of rock materials at macroscopic and microscopically level. The failure behavior of tunnel could be simulated by this numerical model. The model could realistically simulate the fracture behavior of tunnel by excavation loading, strength limits, and post peak response for both tension and compression. As the proposed method was used to conduct the stability analysis of tunnel, the safety factor of tunnel was defined as the ratio of actual shear strength parameter to critical failure shear strength parameter. Not only the safety factor of tunnel with specific physics meaning can be obtained, but also the overall failure process and the location of failure surface may also be determined at the same time.

低合金钢靶板受尖头弹冲击的变形与断裂

研究了低合金钢板在尖头弹冲击条件下的侵彻过程,讨论了应力条件和材料冶金质量对损伤和断裂的影响。结果表明,在侵彻过程前期靶材主要表现为三向压应力下的塑性流动;中期,靶材挤压流动,靶材内部的流速差造成剪切变形,并导致沿轧制偏析带的开裂;后期,靶材在剧烈剪切作用下剪切变形、局部失稳、形成剪切带和沿剪切带的开裂或撕裂。断裂按微孔聚集型机制进行。通常所谓花瓣型开裂实质上就是上述在切应力作用下的剪切撕裂。
