Necking modes in multilayers and their influence on tearing toughness

نویسنده

چکیده

Periodic bifurcation modes that occur in ductile multilayered plates or sheets stretched in plane strain tension are analyzed to reveal whether necks are likely to localize at the scale of the thickness of individual layers or at the scale of the full thickness of the multilayer. The energy dissipated in tearing a ductile multilayer scales with the extent of the localized thinning region in the tensile direction. If plates or sheets with high tearing toughness are desired, the combination of layers should be chosen to suppress necking localization at the scale of individual layers. Insight into the properties and thicknesses of the layers required to suppress short-wavelength necking is revealed by a bifurcation analysis of multilayers comprised of metal layers having different strength and hardening behaviors and multilayers combining metal and elastomer layers. Several examples suggest that when localization takes place at the scale of the individual layers it may occur in the form of a band inclined through the thickness.

Influence of energetic ions on tearing modes in a reversed field pinch

Tearing mode stability analysis in the presence of circulating energetic ions (CEI) is studied in the reversed field pinch (RFP) magnetic configuration. In contrast to the minimal effect of precessional drift of CEI on tearing modes in tokamaks, the effect of precessional drift of CEI on tearing modes is important in the RFP. It is found that the effects of CEI on tearing modes in RFP depend on...

Analyses of Buckling and Stable Tearing in Thin-Sheet Materials

This paper was to verify the STAGS (general shell, geometric and material nonlinear) code and the critical crack-tip-opening angle (CTOA) fracture criterion for predicting stable tearing in cracked panels that fail with severe out-of-plane buckling. Materials considered ranged from brittle to ductile behavior. Test data used in this study are reported elsewhere. The STAGS code was used to model...

A study of the progression of damage in an axially loaded Branta leucopsis femur using X-ray computed tomography and digital image correlation

This paper uses X-ray computed tomography to track the mechanical response of a vertebrate (Barnacle goose) long bone subjected to an axial compressive load, which is increased gradually until failure. A loading rig was mounted in an X-ray computed tomography system so that a time-lapse sequence of three-dimensional (3D) images of the bone's internal (cancellous or trabecular) structure could b...

Investigation of Crack Resistance in Single Walled Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Polymer Composites Based on FEM

Carbon nanotube (CNT) is considered as a new generation of material possessing superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. The applications of CNT, especially in composite materials, i.e. carbon nanotube reinforced polymer have received great attention and interest in recent years. To characterize the influence of CNT on the stress intensity factor of nanocomposites, three fracture ...

A new brittleness index for estimation of rock fracture toughness

Assessment of the correlation between rock brittleness and rock fracture toughness has been the subject of extensive research works in the recent years. Unfortunately, the brittleness measurement methods have not yet been standardized, and rock fracture toughness cannot be estimated satisfactorily by the proposed indices. In the present study, statistical analyses are performed on some data col...
