键交换反应作为减轻聚合物基纤维复合材料残余应力的范例
Polymer matrix fiber composites often suffer from residual stresses due to differences in coefficients of thermal expansion between the fibers and resins, as well as contractile strain of the resins during curing. To address residual stress driven composite failure, we propose the use of vitrimers as composite resins, which can undergo thermally activated, stress alleviating, bond exchange reactions (BERs). We conduct fiber Bragg grating measurements for a single glass fiber within bulk vitrimer. These show that the fiber strain in vitrimers with 5% catalyst is significantly lower than in those with 0% catalyst (minimal BER expected) during both curing and post-curing phases. We developed a finite deformation, micromechanically-inspired model that incorporates curing, thermal processes, and BERs, and then implemented this model it into finite element software to simulate stress evolution within single fiber composite systems. The combination of experimental and computational results reveals that BERs can effectively mitigate, but not eliminate, the residual stress in polymer matrix fiber composites.
由于纤维与树脂热膨胀系数的差异以及树脂在固化过程中的收缩应变,聚合物基纤维复合材料往往会产生残余应力。为了解决残余应力驱动的复合材料失效问题,我们建议使用玻璃体作为复合树脂,它可以进行热激活,应力缓解,键交换反应(ber)。我们对散装玻璃体中的单个玻璃纤维进行了光纤布拉格光栅测量。结果表明,在固化和后固化阶段,添加5%催化剂的玻璃体中的纤维应变明显低于添加0%催化剂的玻璃体(期望的最小BER)。我们开发了一个有限变形、微力学启发的模型,该模型结合了固化、热过程和ber,然后将该模型应用到有限元软件中,以模拟单纤维复合材料系统中的应力演变。实验与计算结果相结合表明,聚合物基纤维复合材料中的残余应力可以有效地减轻,但不能完全消除。

利用离散位错动力学研究几何必要边界的形成
A systematic numerical study using discrete dislocation dynamics has been conducted to investigate the formation of geometrically necessary dislocation boundaries (GNBs), a fundamental component of dislocation patterning and work-hardening. The simulations presented in this paper focus on GNBs forming along the (010) plane, which are observed in the (121) [111] copper orientation on the β-fibre of the FCC rolling texture. The results demonstrate that GNBs can emerge as a relaxation product, self-organizing to satisfy low-energy theorems such as the Frank equation. Additionally, the requirements for the involved slip systems and their relative densities to form stable mobile and immobile boundaries are evaluated.

基于混合统一梯度和表面弹性的高阶压痕模型的理论研究
This study proposes a higher-order framework for half-space indentation based on mixture unified gradient theory (MUGT) with surface elasticity (SE). MUGT, a well-posed theory that captures both nonlocal and strain gradient properties, is essential for understanding size effects in nano/micro-scale materials and structures. However, indentation problems considering MUGT remain unexplored. We develop efficient analytical and numerical methods to address the problem. In the 3D context, the stress components are analytically determined using 2D Fourier transform applied to constitutive relations that incorporate stress gradient elasticity. Regarding the contact pressure, the problem results in integral equations whose kernel is challenging to obtain explicitly. These are numerically solved using the sum of independent functions, rather than relying on discrete point values as done in previous studies on singular integral equations. Our findings demonstrate that stress gradient elasticity leads to greater surface vertical displacement, whereas strain gradient and surface elasticity result in smaller surface vertical displacement, highlighting the softening and hardening behaviors respectively. Drastically different contact pressure distributions and surface vertical displacements can be obtained compared to existing theories. Particularly, both hardening and softening of size-dependent indentation hardness are intrinsically captured, aligning with available experimental observations. These behaviors, however, are challenging to simultaneously reflect in existing indentation theories due to the exclusion of stress gradient elasticity. The study enhances the understanding of contact mechanics and is of practically significance for nano/micro-scale materials and structures.
提出了一种基于混合统一梯度理论(MUGT)和表面弹性(SE)的半空间压痕高阶框架。MUGT是一种完备的理论,可以捕获非局部和应变梯度特性,对于理解纳米/微尺度材料和结构中的尺寸效应至关重要。然而,考虑到MUGT的缩进问题仍未被探索。我们开发了有效的分析和数值方法来解决这个问题。在3D环境中,应力分量是使用应用于包含应力梯度弹性的本构关系的二维傅里叶变换来解析确定的。对于接触压力,问题的结果是积分方程,其核很难明确地得到。这些都是用独立函数的和进行数值求解,而不是像以前研究奇异积分方程那样依赖于离散点值。研究结果表明,应力梯度弹性导致较大的表面垂直位移,而应变梯度和表面弹性导致较小的表面垂直位移,分别表现出软化和硬化行为。与现有理论相比,可以得到截然不同的接触压力分布和表面垂直位移。特别是,与尺寸相关的压痕硬度的硬化和软化本质上被捕获,与现有的实验观察一致。然而,由于排除了应力梯度弹性,现有压痕理论很难同时反映这些行为。该研究增强了对接触力学的认识,对纳米/微尺度的材料和结构具有实际意义。

带防风夹的立缝金属覆层系统风致疲劳性能试验研究
Standing seam metal cladding systems with anti-wind clips are extensively used in public buildings located in regions prone to strong winds. These reinforced seam-clip connections are susceptible to fatigue effects when subjected to long-term fluctuating wind loads. The complex mechanical behaviors of these connections contribute to a complex fatigue-induced failure mechanism, which is crucial for evaluating the fatigue performance of the systems but has received limited attention in existing studies. This study systematically analyzed the fatigue-induced failure mechanism of such systems using an air pressure box and prototype specimens. Quasi-static tests were conducted initially to determine the ultimate bearing capacity of the systems, followed by dynamic fatigue tests involving eight loading scenarios with various amplitudes. The study found significant differences between pull-out failures in static tests and tearing failures in dynamic tests. High stress concentration zones, particularly at metal sheet contacts with anti-wind clips and bending areas, can exacerbate damage accumulation under dynamic loads. These zones can initiate cracks when the cycle reaches 47% of the fatigue life and expedite their propagation, ultimately leading to tearing failure. The dynamic response has been analyzed, with differences from the static response quantified. To assess the resistance capacity of systems to tearing failures, a fatigue life model was proposed to elucidate the relationship between load amplitudes and cycles. A diminishing trend in the model with the increase of amplitudes indicates that the fatigue resistance capacity is susceptible to high load amplitudes. These findings can effectively evaluate the fatigue resistance capacity of the systems.
带有防风夹的立缝金属覆层系统广泛应用于位于强风易发地区的公共建筑中。当经受长期波动风荷载时,这些加固的接缝夹连接容易产生疲劳效应。这些连接的复杂力学行为导致了复杂的疲劳破坏机制,这对于评估系统的疲劳性能至关重要,但在现有的研究中受到的关注有限。本研究采用气压箱和原型试样系统地分析了这类系统的疲劳破坏机理。首先进行准静态试验以确定系统的极限承载能力,然后进行动态疲劳试验,包括8种不同幅值的加载场景。研究发现,静态试验中的拔出失效与动态试验中的撕裂失效存在显著差异。高应力集中区,特别是在金属板与防风夹和弯曲区域的接触处,会加剧动载荷下的损伤积累。当循环达到疲劳寿命的47%时,这些区域会产生裂纹,并加速裂纹的扩展,最终导致撕裂失效。分析了动态响应,量化了与静态响应的差异。为了评估系统对撕裂失效的抵抗能力,提出了一个疲劳寿命模型来阐明载荷幅值与循环之间的关系。随着幅值的增大,模型的抗疲劳能力呈递减趋势,表明高载荷幅值对疲劳抗力影响较大。这些结果可以有效地评价系统的抗疲劳能力。
