Delaminations at the free edge of a composite laminate

The concept of a fracture process zone where damage takes place is used to analyse the delaminations at the free edges of angle ply laminates under uniaxial tension. The use of a fracture process zone removes the singularity in the interlaminar stresses and enables the initiation and growth of delaminations to be modelled for a perfect laminate without any assumed prior defects. Two different models for the stress displacement relationship in the fracture process zone are examined: a constant stress up to critical displacement and a linear relationship. Finite element analysis shows that there is little difference in the predictions obtained from the two models. An approximate analysis is presented for the constant stress stress-displacement model which is shown to agree with a finite element solution and experimental data. Hence it is argued that the approximate method using a constant stress model for the fracture process zone is sufficient for accurate prediction of delaminations.     

水电水利工程压力钢管灌浆孔应力集中敏感性因素研究

水电水利工程压力钢管开孔灌浆后,需对灌浆孔严密封堵,处理不好会对工程安全运行留下隐患。在总结国内外灌浆孔常用封堵方案基础上,以某水电站地下埋管为例,建立平面有限元模型,分析其灌浆开孔后管壁应力集中现象,研究了补强板厚度及堵头坡口深度对压力钢管灌浆孔应力集中的敏感性。结果表明,应力集中程度随补强板厚度及堵头坡口深度增加递减,堵头坡口深度对其影响更加敏感。对于地下埋管管壁上开灌浆孔的非高强钢,建议灌浆后孔口进行封堵,补强板厚度宜与钢管壁厚相同,并适当增加坡口深度。当钢管壁厚较大时,堵头坡口深度宜不小于钢管壁厚的1/4~1/3。

研究了AIM ESR和VIM ESR两种冶炼工艺对GH871合金涡轮盘三种韧性指标的影响,结果表明:冶炼工艺对该合金在室温、650℃拉伸和缺口冲击韧性影响较小,采用VIM ESR冶炼工艺可以显著提高GH871合金在700℃拉伸韧性和I型裂纹平面应变的断裂韧性。     

加载速率对结构钢力学性能和断裂韧度的影响

在常温下进行了常用建筑结构钢(16Mn和Q235B钢)动态拉伸和动态断裂韧度试验。试验结果表明，材料在动载下无论是屈服强度还是抗拉强度均有一定的提高，塑性有了一定的降低；由于缺口尖端区域温度的升高，常温下动载对于16Mn钢母材和焊缝的断裂韧度是有利的；Q235B钢常温下，焊缝的断裂韧度值较低，且动载对母材的断裂韧度影响较大，和静载相比动载下断裂韧度值降低了4倍有余，可以看出，Q235B钢的抗震性能较差。通过研究发现，对于低韧度水平的材料，研究动载下结构的断裂行为时．材料的强度也应该作为一个考虑因素。     

基于孔隙压力黏结单元的准脆性材料水力劈裂模拟

传统数值方法对水力劈裂的模拟一般采用预设裂缝扩展路径,且将水流作用等效为压力荷载,难以反映裂缝渗流-开裂耦合效应. 采用自编程Python脚本程序批量插入孔隙压力黏结单元,考虑裂缝渗流-开裂耦合作用模拟准脆性材料水力劈裂随机扩展全过程. 在对经典理论模型及试验结果模拟验证的基础上,开展含多裂缝均质模型的水力劈裂全过程分析,并进一步建立混凝土细观尺度水力劈裂模型,分析骨料、界面过渡区和基体渗透性对混凝土劈裂全过程的影响. 结果表明,本研究模型可以有效模拟准脆性材料水力劈裂失效过程,准脆性材料多缝开裂过程伴随微裂缝的分叉扩展而非光滑的裂缝扩展路径,骨料及界面过渡区影响劈裂扩展路径造成裂缝分叉出现,混凝土基体的渗透性对其抵抗水力劈裂不利并影响失效软化过程.     

AN EXPERIMENTAL-NUMERICAL METHOD FOR MEASURING CRACK PROPAGATING VELOCITIES UNDER STRESS WAVE LOADING

An experimental-numerical method for measuring dynamic crack propagating velocities under stress wave loading is established in this paper. The experiments of the three-point bend specimen are done on the improved Hopkinson bar. Deflection of loading point, dynamic load and instantaneous crack length are measured, then crack propagating velocities are calculated. Experiments on 40Cr steel show that the results given by this method have a good agreement with that obtained by the resistance fracture gage method. Therefore this method is feasible for measuring crack propagating velocities under high loading rate and will have wide application.

Carbon segregation and inclusions effects on surface fracture morphology of a 12% chromium stainless steel

Martensitic 12% chromium stainless steel is generally used for the manufacture of water vapour turbine blades. This material, under these environmental conditions, develops fatigue corrosion with failure as a result of the segregation of certain constituent elements such as phosphorus (P) and sulphur (S),^[1–3] or the presence of some types of inclusions.^[2–4] To be able to understand and explain these phenomena, in situ characterization of the fractured surfaces were performed for two types of samples: steel 1 as manufactured turbine material whose fracture mode is intergranular and steel 2 issued from last stage turbine blades after 100 000 h service at 40 °C whose fracture mode is transgranular. The techniques used for characterization were scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with the x-ray analysis by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and auger electron spectroscopy (AES). The Auger results enabled the understanding of the brittle to ductile transition for the material by showing the simultaneous diffusion of carbon from grain boundaries (GB) to grains (G) and chromium from G to GB. Furthermore, the heavy segregation of phosphorus at the GBs could explain the intergranular crack rupture traces observed in steel 2. SEM observations coupled with EDS analysis showed the presence of different types of non-metallic inclusions such as silicon-based complex inclusions and manganese sulfides (MnS). The presence of silicon-based complex inclusions at GB could explain the intergranular fracture mode previously reported. The characterization of the fracture appearance suggests also that MnS inclusions can act as nucleation sites for secondary microcracks at the GB level that were observed after service.
