基于高阶非局部算子理论的各向异性裂纹扩展相场建模

This paper presents a novel higher-order nonlocal operator theory for the phase-field modeling of brittle fracture in anisotropic materials. Incorporating higher order nonlocal operators can enhance the accuracy of the phase-field model by effectively capturing long-range interactions that hold significance in numerous materials. The reproducing kernel particle method is employed to derive a nonlocal differential operator to enhance computational stability and accuracy. Moreover, the proposed method eliminates the need for direct computation of derivatives of the modified kernel function, which avoids the calculation of moment matrix derivatives and improves computational efficiency. The phase-field modeling of polycrystalline materials, considering the anisotropic fracture resistance of each grain, is implemented using this numerical framework. The present method is able to capture different scenarios intergranular and transgranular crack propagation patterns in polycrystalline materials. The proposed method involves a detailed representation of the complex process of crack initiation and propagation in 2D and 3D models of polycrystalline materials.

提出了一种新的高阶非局部算子理论，用于各向异性材料脆性断裂相场建模。结合高阶非局部算符可以通过有效地捕获在许多材料中具有重要意义的远程相互作用来提高相场模型的准确性。采用再现核粒子法推导非局部微分算子，提高了计算的稳定性和精度。此外，该方法不需要直接计算修正核函数的导数，避免了矩矩阵导数的计算，提高了计算效率。采用该数值框架对多晶材料进行了相场建模，考虑了各晶粒的抗断裂性能各向异性。该方法能够捕获多晶材料中不同情况下的晶间和穿晶裂纹扩展模式。该方法在二维和三维多晶材料模型中详细描述了裂纹萌生和扩展的复杂过程。

非局部相互作用和局部共振结构的阻尼增强了抗断裂能力

In this study, the arrest behavior of locally resonant structure with nonlocal interaction and damping are analyzed. Based on the Wiener-Hopf method, the energy release ratio G0/G which denotes the arrest property is derived. The effects of nonlocal interaction and damping parameters on the oscillation and stability regions during the crack growth are discussed. The arrest characteristics of three locally resonant structures are compared. In order to support the theoretical calculation, both the finite element simulation and fracture experiment are performed. Results show that the locally resonant structure with nonlocal interaction and damping has smaller energy release ratio G0/G. It indicates that the coupling of both nonlocal interaction and damping can significantly enhance the propagation resistance of crack propagation.

Rate Induced Thermomechanical Interactions in NiTi Tensile Tests on Strips

Solon Tsimpoukis, Stelios Kyriakides

doi:10.1016/j.jmps.2023.105530

带材镍钛拉伸试验中速率诱导的热-机械相互作用

The paper uses tensile experiments on NiTi strips at different displacement rates to establish and simulate the thermomechanical interactions caused by the latent heat of the reversible transformation between the austenitic and martensitic phases. The evolution of deformation in the specimen is synchronously monitored with digital image correlation, and the temperature field through infrared imaging, essential for structural modelling. Transformation leads to localized deformation that propagates through the specimen, while the latent heat released/absorbed at the propagating fronts locally heats/cools the specimen. The sensitivity of the transformation stress to temperature results in a complex interaction between the heat transfer conditions and the nucleation and evolution of transformation in the specimen. At low rates of loading, the alternate phase propagates nearly isothermally with a small number of fronts producing relatively flat stress plateaus. Higher rates lead to significant heating/cooling that results in progressive nucleation of multiple fronts and apparent "hardening" responses. The experiments are simulated in a three-dimensional static displacement transient temperature finite element analysis, using a new fully coupled thermomechanical constitutive model. Transformation strain and entropy are its internal variables whose evolution is governed by the motion in the stress-temperature space of a single transformation surface governing both transformations. The prevailing localization is captured by the introduction of softening over the unstable branches of the recorded isothermal material response. The results demonstrate how the important role of the thermal interaction between the specimen and the environment can be addressed. This, together with appropriate calibration of the constitutive and structural model, enable the analysis to reproduce the effect of rate on the recorded response, the evolution of localization patterns, and the associated thermal fields. The results can guide the development of constitutive and structural models of phase transforming materials with strong thermomechanical interactions.

利用晶体塑性有限元法揭示了马氏体相变和奥氏体位错滑移对9Ni钢微观力学行为的影响

Austenite is an extremely important phase that significantly influence the mechanical properties of (austenite + martensite) duplex steels. Two different deformation mechanisms, i.e., dislocation slip and martensitic transformation, can be activated in the austenite upon plastic deformation. However, these two deformation mechanisms make different contributions to the work hardening and flow stress of the austenite which are hardly separated by experimental methods, making it difficult to clarify the effect of austenite on the micromechanical behavior of (austenite + martensite) duplex steels. In this work, the influence of martensitic transformation and dislocation slip in austenite on the micromechanical behaviors is investigated in a model 9Ni steel consisting of austenite and tempered martensite (TM) using the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM). The austenite and fresh martensite (FM) formed within the austenite grain upon deformation process are regarded as a whole named as FM/A island in the CPFEM. To accurately model the rate of martensitic transformation, the martensitic transformation kinetics law used in the CPFEM is developed by relating the number of possible nucleation sites for fresh martensite to the mechanical driving force originating from the resolved shear stress on each transformation system. The material parameters for the TM were determined by micropillar compression tests. Besides, the method for separating and determining the material parameters accounting for dislocation slip in austenite and martensitic transformation by a combination of neutron diffraction and measurements of stress-strain curves and austenite volume fractions is developed and exemplified. The CPFEM simulation results show that the local concentration of equivalent plastic strain and stress triaxiality in the FM/A island can be enhanced by the dislocation slip in austenite but suppressed by the martensitic transformation. In addition, the martensitic transformation has a remarkable effect on strengthening the local concentration of maximum principal stress in the FM/A island.

奥氏体是影响(奥氏体 + 马氏体)双相钢力学性能的重要相。塑性变形时，奥氏体可激活两种不同的变形机制，即位错滑移和马氏体相变。然而，这两种变形机制对奥氏体的加工硬化和流动应力的贡献各不相同，且难以通过实验方法加以区分，因此很难阐明奥氏体对(奥氏体 + 马氏体)双相钢微观力学行为的影响。本文采用晶体塑性有限元法(CPFEM)研究了奥氏体和回火马氏体(TM)组成的9Ni钢中马氏体相变和位错滑移对微观力学行为的影响。在CPFEM中，将形变过程中在奥氏体晶粒内形成的奥氏体和新马氏体(FM)视为一个整体，称为FM/ a岛。为了准确地模拟马氏体转变的速率，CPFEM中使用的马氏体转变动力学定律是通过将新马氏体可能成核的位置的数量与每个转变系统上由分解的剪切应力产生的机械驱动力相关联而建立的。通过微柱压缩试验确定了TM的材料参数。此外，还提出了利用中子衍射、应力-应变曲线和奥氏体体积分数测量相结合的方法来分离和确定奥氏体和马氏体相变中位错滑移的材料参数。CPFEM模拟结果表明，奥氏体位错滑移增强了FM/A岛的局部等效塑性应变集中和应力三轴性，但马氏体相变抑制了等效塑性应变的集中。此外，马氏体相变对强化FM/ a岛局部最大主应力集中有显著作用。

地铁列车承载吸能结构轻量化设计的试验与数值研究

The load-bearing underframe is widely utilized on the crashworthiness design of subway trains. However, studies on load-bearing underframes mainly focused on conceptual design and structural optimization, and didn't consider the combination of bearing loads during the normal operation and absorbing impact kinetic energy under collisions. In addition, the traditional load-bearing underframe for subway trains is mainly made of stainless steel, which has a relatively large weight and cannot meet the requirement of lightweight design. To address these limitations, this paper presents a novel lightweight aluminum alloy load-bearing underframe with the alternative thin-walled energy absorption component, which can both satisfy the function of bearing loads and energy absorption. Firstly, the impact tests and numerical simulations are conducted to compare the crashworthiness of the energy absorption component, i.e., the thin-walled square tube made of S304 (abbreviated as S3N4) and aluminum alloy 5083P-O (abbreviated as A3N4). The result shows that S3N4 has higher energy absorption and mean crushing force, and A3N4 is 56.94 % lower than S3N4 in initial peak crushing force and 53.79 % higher in special energy absorption. Then, the aluminum alloy thin-walled tube is adopted on the novel load-bearing underframe and the parameter study on the wall thickness and number of diaphragms for the energy absorption component is conducted. The result reveals that the 5083P-O thin-walled tube with 5 mm wall thickness and 4 diaphragms can provide the stable and ordered deformation mode and high energy absorption. Finally, a real vehicle impact test is conducted to verify the crashworthiness of the optimized load-bearing underframe, which shows that the deformation modes and mechanical responses are consistent with the numerical simulation. The proposed aluminum alloy load-bearing underframe energy absorption structure can be adopted on subway trains.

在地铁列车的耐撞性设计中，承重型车架得到了广泛的应用。然而，对承重型车架的研究主要集中在概念设计和结构优化上，没有考虑车架正常运行时承受载荷与碰撞时吸收冲击动能的结合。此外，传统的地铁列车承重底架以不锈钢为主，自重较大，不能满足轻量化设计的要求。针对这些局限性，本文提出了一种新型的轻质铝合金承载底架，并采用替代薄壁吸能组件，既能满足承载载荷又能满足吸能功能。首先，对S304薄壁方管(简称S3N4)和5083P-O铝合金(简称A3N4)两种吸能构件的耐撞性进行了冲击试验和数值模拟比较。结果表明，S3N4具有更高的能量吸收和平均破碎力，A3N4初始峰值破碎力比S3N4低56.94%，特殊能量吸收比S3N4高53.79%。然后，在新型承力底架上采用铝合金薄壁管，对吸能构件的壁厚和隔板数进行了参数研究。结果表明:5083P-O薄壁管的壁厚为5mm，隔板为4个，可以提供稳定有序的变形模式和较高的能量吸收。最后，进行了实车碰撞试验，验证了优化后的承载底架的耐撞性，结果表明，其变形模式和力学响应与数值模拟结果一致。本文提出的铝合金承力底架吸能结构可用于地铁列车。

A novel all-composite double-layer sandwich structure with tubular cores (DSST) is designed and fabricated to achieve the both of vibration suppression and enhancement of mechanical properties. The suppression effect of the proposed sandwich structure on the structural vibration is verified numerically and experimentally, and the mechanism of bandgap generation as well the structural wave propagation modes are revealed and analyzed. The anisotropy of the carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is utilized to enables the intermediate resonant layer to exist a wide frequency adjustment range of vibration suppression without altering its geometrical parameters. Then, the improvement of structural vibration characteristics (i.e., natural frequencies and mode shapes) by filling the polymethacrylimide (PMI) foam in the DSST is discussed. And PMI foam-filling also leads to improved mechanical properties, out-of-plane compression tests are conducted to reveal the mechanism of mechanical enhancement, and it is found that the interaction effect of the foam filled in DSST in the axial direction enhances the compressive strength and the specific energy absorption (SEA) compared to the one without foam by 35.7% and 26.2%, respectively. In addition, the core configuration and the composite material preparation enable the proposed structure to outperform competing ones in terms of load-bearing capacity and bandgap characteristics.

We explored the impact of different input features characterizing the composite microstructure on the prediction accuracy of the DNN model. Specifically, we introduced a spatial descriptor representing fiber arrangement and proposed new spatial descriptors based on fiber area to improve input feature quality. Incorporating widely-used spatial descriptors such as the second-order intensity function and radial distribution function improved the prediction performance compared to previous methods. Combining spatial descriptors for both fiber distribution and alignment further enhanced prediction accuracy. To address the limitations of conventional spatial descriptors, we developed new spatial descriptors using a continuous function. Our findings demonstrate the importance of selecting appropriate input features for improved DNN model performance, even with the same dataset. Moreover, the proposed fiber area-based spatial descriptors offer insights into the micromechanical behavior of composite materials.在这项研究中，我们利用深度神经网络（DNN）开发了一种数据驱动方法，用于预测横向拉伸载荷下纤维增强复合材料的非线性应力应变行为。我们探索了表征复合材料微观结构的不同输入特征对 DNN 模型预测精度的影响。具体来说，我们引入了代表纤维排列的空间描述符，并提出了基于纤维面积的新空间描述符，以提高输入特征的质量。与之前的方法相比，结合二阶强度函数和径向分布函数等广泛使用的空间描述符提高了预测性能。结合纤维分布和排列的空间描述符进一步提高了预测精度。为了解决传统空间描述符的局限性，我们使用连续函数开发了新的空间描述符。我们的研究结果表明，即使使用相同的数据集，选择适当的输入特征对于提高 DNN 模型性能也非常重要。此外，所提出的基于纤维面积的空间描述符为复合材料的微观机械行为提供了见解。Mechanical vibration absorber for flexural wave attenuation in multi-materials metastructureLong Liu, Ji Wan Kim, Gil Ho Yoon, Bing Yidoi:10.1016/j.compstruct.2023.117859用于衰减多材料结构中挠曲波的机械减震器Vibration isolation is a promise to suppress mechanical vibration from a host structure, similarly, a mechanical vibration absorber, a simple but effective device to attenuate flexural wave propagation, which has been implemented in civil and mechanical engineering.

This study proposed to use a secondary CO2 mixing technique coupled with the addition of silica fume (SF) to achieve in-situ rheology control of 3D printed mortar. The influences of CO2 mixing on the properties of the cast mortar and the 3D printed mortar prepared with SF were systematically studied. The pH, conductivity and ion concentration were tested to revel the essential chemical reactions and phase evolutions during CO2 mixing. It was found that the CO2 mixing effectively enhanced the early-age penetration resistance and yield stress of mortar incorporated with SF, and thus significantly improved the buildability of 3D printed mortar, while the maximum printing layer increased higher than 33 layers. Meanwhile, the mechanical properties of the SF-incorporated mortar were improved by this process. It was revealed that during the CO2 mixing process, the injected CO2 rapidly reacted with calcium ions to form CaCO3, which further reacted with C3A to form monocarboaluminate (Mc). The fast precipitation of calcium ions during CO2 mixing accelerated the hydration of C3A and C3S, contributing to the rapid development of strength at early ages and the improved performance of hardened mortar. The addition of SF in mortar greatly amplified the beneficial effect of CO2 mixing, which due to SF as nucleation sites promoted the formation of CaCO3 and Mc during CO2 mixing.为了满足可泵性和可施工性的要求，3D 打印砂浆/混凝土的流变特性应遵循比传统浇注砂浆/混凝土更严格的要求。本研究建议采用二次二氧化碳混合技术，并添加硅灰（SF），以实现对 3D 打印砂浆的原位流变控制。该研究系统地研究了二氧化碳混合对浇注砂浆和用 SF 制备的 3D 打印砂浆性能的影响。测试了 pH 值、电导率和离子浓度，以揭示二氧化碳混合过程中的基本化学反应和相变。研究发现，CO2 混合能有效提高掺入 SF 的砂浆的早龄期抗渗透性和屈服应力，从而显著改善 3D 打印砂浆的可施工性，最大打印层数比 33 层更高。同时，该工艺还改善了掺入 SF 的砂浆的力学性能。研究发现，在二氧化碳混合过程中，注入的二氧化碳迅速与钙离子反应生成 CaCO3，再与 C3A 反应生成单碳铝酸盐（Mc）。CO2 混合过程中钙离子的快速析出加速了 C3A 和 C3S 的水化，有助于早期龄期强度的快速发展和硬化砂浆性能的改善。在砂浆中加入 SF 大大提高了 CO2 混合的有益效果，因为 SF 是成核场所，在 CO2 混合过程中促进了 CaCO3 和 Mc 的形成。Composites Science and TechnologyA self-powered piezoelectric Poly(vinyl alcohol)/Polyvinylidene fluoride fiber membrane with alternating multilayer porous structure for energy harvesting and wearable sensorsYaru Yu, Xiaowen Zhao, Huaiguo Ge, Lin Yedoi:10.1016/j.compscitech.2023.110429 具有交替多层多孔结构的自供电压电聚（乙烯醇）/聚偏氟乙烯纤维膜，用于能量采集和可穿戴传感器Development of flexible wearable electronic devices requires high-performance piezoelectric sensors, being advantageous in high sensitivity, ease to microintegration without external power supply. In this work, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) fiber membranes with stable alternating multilayer structure were constructed through electrospinning and subsequent gas-phase crosslinking. The PVA/PVDF fiber was fully stretched with smooth surface and uniform diameter at appropriate PVDF concentration, exhibiting high porosity (88 %). The α-phase was transformed into the electroactive β-phase of PVDF in the electrospinning process, while the crystallinity and β-phase percentage (Fβ) were improved by mixing spinning of PVA and PVDF, with Fβ reaching above 90 %. The PVA/PVDF fiber membrane showed high mechanical strength/toughness and liquid absorbency (719.03 %). The significant electrical signal output (10.07 V and 166.42 nA) was generated, accompanying with high stress sensitivity, short response time and high stability, exhibiting excellent piezoelectricity and making the fiber membrane not only monitor large deformation movements of limbs as self-powered wearable sensor, but also sense weak signals of pulse, breathing etc. for monitoring human health, as well as environmental humidity.
