Material Concept

AbstractDuctile failure of polymeric samples weakened by circular arc cracks is studied theoretically and experimentally in this research. Various arrangements of cracks with different arc angles are considered in the specimens such that crack tips experienced the mixed mode I/II loading conditions. Fracture tests are conducted on the multi-cracked specimens and their fracture loads are achieved. To provide the results, the equivalent material concept (EMC) is used in conjunction of dislocation method and a brittle fracture criterion such that there is no necessity for performing complex and time-consuming elastic-plastic damage analyses. Theoretical and experimental stress intensity factors are computed and compared with each other by employing the fracture curves which demonstrate the appropriate efficiency of proposed method to predict the tests results.

AbstractThe fracture behavior of a Zr-based bulk amorphous alloy, Zr-10 Al-5 Ti-17.9 Cu-14.6Ni (at.%), was examined by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction forany evidence of crystallization preceding crack propagation. No evidence for crystallizationwas found in shear bands in compression specimens or at the fracture surface in tensile specimens.In- situ TEM deformation experiments were performed to more closely examine actualcrack tip regions. During the in-situ deformation experiment, controlled crack growth occurredto the point where the specimen was approximately 20 μm thick at which point uncontrolledcrack growth occurred. No evidence of any crystallization was found at the crack tips or thecrack flanks. Subsequent scanning microscope examination showed that the uncontrolledcrack growth region exhibited ridges and veins that appeared to have resulted from melting. Performing the deformations, both bulk and in-situ TEM, at liquid nitrogen temperatures (LN2) resulted in an increase in the amount of controlled crack growth. The surface roughness of the bulk regions fractured at LN2 temperatures corresponded with the roughness of the crack propagation observed during the in-situ TEM experiment, suggesting that the smooth-appearing room temperature fracture surfaces may also be a result of localized melting.

AbstractA simple algorithm is developed and implemented to eliminate ambiguities, in both statistical analyses of orientation data (e.g., orientation averaging) and electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD) orientation map visualization, caused by symmetrically equivalent orientations and the wrap-around or umklapp effect. Using crystal symmetry operators and the lowest Euclidian-distance criterion, the orientation of each pixel within a grain is redefined. An advantage of this approach is demonstrated for direct determination of the representative orientation of a grain within an EBSD map by mean, median, or quaternion-based averaging methods that can be further used within analyses or visualization of misorientation or geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) density. If one also considers the lattice curvature tensor, five components of the dislocation density tensor—corresponding to a part of the GND content—may be inferred. The methodology developed is illustrated using EBSD orientation data obtained from the fatigue crack-tips/wakes in aerospace aluminum alloys 2024-T351 and 7050-T7451.

An elasto-plastic analysis is conducted based upon a strip yield model for analyzing multiple cracks in a sheet reinforced with riveted stiffeners. Using the basic solution of a single crack and taking unknown fictitious surface tractions and fastener forces, Fredholm integral equations are formulated from the equilibrium condition along multiple cracks in the sheet. In addition compatibility equations of displacements are formulated among the sheet, fasteners and stiffeners. Based upon no stress singularity at the fictitious crack tips, these equations are iteratively solved as a single system of equations. Then the unknown fictitious surface tractions, fastener forces, and plastic zone sizes ahead of the crack tips are determined. The crack tip opening displacements for a multiple cracked sheet with riveted stiffeners are determined from the derived fictitious surface tractions and plastic zone sizes. Four example calculations and predictions are presented.

The Continuum

In the present analytical study, we consider the problem of a nanocrack with surface elasticity interacting with a screw dislocation. The surface elasticity is incorporated by using the continuum-based surface/interface model of Gurtin and Murdoch. By considering both distributed screw dislocations and line forces on the crack, we reduce the interaction problem to two decoupled first-order Cauchy singular integro-differential equations which can be numerically solved by the collocation method. The analysis indicates that if the dislocation is on the real axis where the crack is located, the stresses at the crack tips only exhibit the weak logarithmic singularity; if the dislocation is not on the real axis, however, the stresses exhibit both the weak logarithmic and the strong square-root singularities. Our result suggests that the surface effects of the crack will make the fracture more ductile. The criterion for the spontaneous generation of dislocations at the crack tip is proposed.

Thispaper adopts the crack line-field method to analyze finite-width stiffenedplates with central through I-type crack under uniaxial tensile loading. Themethod completely abandons the small scale yield hypothesis. The plastic stressand strain fields at crack tips and the plastic-zone length can be accurately determinedby combining with equivalent shear stress of Westergaard stress function in theposition of stiffener. It can be seen from the illustrative example that theresults of the paper agree well with those by finite element method.

The requirement for products to reduce weight while maintaining strength is a major challenge to the development of new advanced materials. Especially in the field of human medicine or aviation and aeronautics new materials are needed to satisfy increasing demands. Therefore the titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with its high specific strength and an outstanding corrosion resistance is used for high and reliable performance in sheet metal forming processes as well as in medical applications. Due to a meaningful and accurate numerical process design and to improve the prediction accuracy of the numerical model, advanced material characterization methods are required. To expand the formability and to skillfully use the advantage of Ti-6Al-4V, forming processes are performed at elevated temperatures. Thus the investigation of plastic yielding at different stress states and at an elevated temperature of 400°C is presented in this paper. For this reason biaxial tensile tests with a cruciform shaped specimen are realized at 400°C in addition to uniaxial tensile tests. Moreover the beginning of plastic yielding is analyzed in the first quadrant of the stress space with regard to complex material modeling.
