A mathematical model for internal friction and fatigue damage based on populations of yielding microelements is described. Using two parameters, the model accounts for amplitude dependence of material damping. For low excitation levels the Zener theory of thermoelasticity is reproduced. The significance of this new damping model is that fatigue damage due to local accumulations of microplastic deformation is quantified. The entropy production is defined by expressing the second law of thermodynamics for irreversible processes as an equality, and quantifying local accumulations of microplastic strain energy as the source of irreversibility. A critical entropy threshold is defined in terms of the local microplastic strain energy density of local failure. The hypothesis is offered that local fatigue damage leading to crack nucleation occurs by exceeding the critical entropy threshold.

AbstractInternal friction behavior in cast 8-ply [0°1 P55Gr/Mg-0.6%Zr alloy and P55Gr/Mg-1%Mn composites as a function of vibratory strain amplitude was measured at 80 kHz using a Marxtype piezoelectric composite oscillator. Both the matrix and composite exhibited strain amplitude independent internal friction below ε ≈ 10−6, while significant strain amplitude dependence was noted at higher strain levels. A maxima in damping was observed for most of the specimens tested. Heat treatment to enlarge grain size was found to increase both the strain amplitude independent and dependent internal friction of the composite. Strain amplitude dependence of the internal friction, including the existence of the maxima, was explained by the Granato-Lucke (G-L) dislocation internal friction model. Dislocation densities obtained from various TEM images from the fiber-matrix interface were compared to values predicted by G-L theory.
