Fiber-reinforced composites are essential in the aerospace industry, highlighting the need for an in-depth understanding of their durability. This study introduces a novel approach that integrates viscoelasticity and damage evolution based on continuum damage mechanics, employing finite element analysis. The method utilizes an anisotropic viscoelastic constitutive law to examine creep behavior under constant stress, decomposing stresses into equilibrium and non-equilibrium components. Moreover, it integrates a transverse crack damage variable associated with crack density. After solving stiffness equations, a detailed analysis of transverse crack propagation is conducted. This technique was applied to creep tests on carbon fiber-reinforced plastics and 3D woven ceramic matrix composites, resulting in strain and crack density profiles. The numerical simulations successfully reproduced experimental outcomes. The developed method offers a comprehensive tool for analyzing transverse crack propagation under viscoelastic creep conditions through finite element analysis, significantly enhancing design considerations by incorporating aspects of long-term durability.

This study focused on understanding the fatigue response of anisotropic spherulitic polymers by employing a multiscale microscopic modeling approach. The crystal plasticity model together with the Arruda-Boyce model were used to describe the mechanical response of crystalline phase and amorphous. The fatigue behaviors and crack initiation were captured by Fatemi-Socie multiaxial criterion and continuous damage theory under multiaxial and non-proportional loading conditions. The sheaf-like structure of spherulitic polymers was considered to shed light on the anisotropic nature of fatigue failure. The results highlight the role of features of sheaf structure, e.g., initiation orientation, on the fatigue performance of spherulitic polymers, which have not been reported. The localized degradation of mechanical properties and the accumulation of fatigue damage were systematically discussed with various loading patterns. This study provided an in-depth understanding of potential fatigue mechanisms, offering robust support for fatigue resistance design in engineering applications.

This paper presents a novel three-phase damage model for the prediction of the post-peak responses of composite materials, such as recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The proposed damage model is based on composite damage mechanics and is composed of three phases: cement paste, interface transition zone (ITZ), and aggregate. All phases are assumed to be linearly elastic and isotropic materials. The aggregate is supposed to be the undamaged material, while the cement paste and ITZ are considered the damaged materials. Three different composite damage models, namely Voigt (parallel), Reuss (serial), and the proposed generalized self-consistent (spherical), represent the damage growth in the composite materials. The Voigt parallel model is employed to address the upper bound of post-peak stiffness and stress, while the Reuss serial model represents the lower bound. To investigate the softening phenomenon after the post-peak state, both linear and exponential functions are used to describe the stress-strain curve in this state. Two numerical simulations are provided to examine the stress degradation in the softening state. Both simulations reveal that the post-peak stress degrades with increasing damage parameters and ITZ thickness. Therefore, both damage and ITZ’s thickness are significant factors for analyzing the post-peak responses of RAC.

To comprehensively investigate the influence of water content on the mechanical and crack propagation characteristics of coal rock assemblage (CRA) with a rough interface, uniaxial compression tests were conducted on specimens with varying water content. Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and acoustic emission (AE) techniques were employed to monitor the water content and AE signals throughout the experiment. The physical and mechanical properties, as well as the extent of crack development and acoustic emission (AE) parameters, were comprehensively investigated under conditions of water erosion. The results demonstrate that a rough interface contributes to an enhancement in the compressive strength of the composite material. Moreover, the moisture content exerts a significant influence on various aspects of the composite specimen, including its compressive strength, time b value, crack development, and crack propagation. With the increase in water content, the initial single slope shear failure of the composite specimen gradually transitions into a multi-section shear failure mechanism. Under the influence of water-rock interaction, sandstone within the formation undergoes a metamorphosis from a densely cemented structure to an irregular honeycomb-like configuration. This transformative process engenders novel porosity and fractures, ultimately compromising the rock’s mechanical strength. The analysis focuses on the relationship between the AE parameter b and uniaxial stress and water content, with emphasis on its relevance to damage theory. A damage model based on water immersion rate was established to elucidate the correlation between damage variables and water content. This was achieved by considering the characteristics of water-rock coupling AE and constructing a structural model of the water absorption process in different pore throats, thereby providing valuable insights for stability design and evaluation of roadway rock masses.

The use of carbon and kevlar fiber-reinforced composite materials continues to grow in high-tech applications such as aerospace engineering. One of the most desired properties in composite structures is a strong interfacial bond between the matrix and the fiber. Nano-material reinforcement is one of the most preferred methods for strengthening the fiber-matrix interfacial bond. In the present research, polyamide 6.6 (PA 6.6) nanofiber and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) reinforced kevlar fabric (KF), carbon fabric (CF) and epoxy matrix nanocomposite plates were produced by functional grading of these two fabrics. PA 6.6 nanofibers, obtained by electrospinning, were placed between the layers, and 12-layer nanocomposite plates were fabricated using a vacuum-assisted hand lay-up method. In producing MWCNTs reinforced nanocomposite plates, 0.3 wt.% of MWCNTs were added into the epoxy matrix. A comprehensive set of 16 distinct composite plates was manufactured, encompassing unreinforced plates, plates reinforced with MWCNTs, plates reinforced with PA 6.6, and plates reinforced with a combination of PA 6.6 and MWCNTs (PA 6.6-MWCNTs). The impact strengths of the produced composite plates were investigated at energy levels of 20, 40 and 60 J. The effects of reinforcing the composite structure with MWCNTs, PA 6.6, and PA 6.6-MWCNTs, as well as functionally grading KF/CF on impact strength, were investigated in detail. The damages that occurred in the material as a result of the low-velocity impact tests were interpreted by examining the high-resolution camera and optical microscope images. Thus, the nanofiber and nanoparticle reinforcement to composite structure and hybridization effect were evaluated together. With the reinforcement of PA 6.6, MWCNTs and PA 6.6-MWCNTs, the impact strength of the nanocomposite samples increased significantly compared to the unreinforced samples. Moreover, the amount of damage caused by the low-velocity impact test in reinforced samples was significantly reduced.

Many historical earthen buildings are damaged due to fire exposure in the past. It is important to understand the strength degradation of rammed earth after elevated temperature for guiding the strategy of building protection or rehabilitation. A total of 24 unconfined compression tests are conducted on lime-stabilized rammed earth specimens after elevated temperature up to 700°C. A quasi-linear reduction in strength and stiffness is found for rammed earth with the increase of temperature. At high temperature, the ductility of rammed earth is enhanced, e.g., strain at peak strength of 2.5% and 1.5% at 700°C and 20°C, respectively. Microstructural analyses demonstrate that with the increase of temperature, the specimen becomes more porous with reduced calcium carbonate precipitation, explaining the strength reduction. A new thermal damage model is proposed to describe the behavior of rammed earth after elevated temperature, in which the closure of pores is captured to show unrecoverable deformation, and the skeleton part is simulated using a thermal damage variable in a statistical manner to present the damage evolution (strain softening). By comparing with the measured stress-strain curves, one can confirm that the proposed method can provide effective prediction for the response of rammed earth after elevated temperature.

Pre-stressed anchor bolts serve as an effective means to reinforce fractured rock masses. The long-term efficacy of their anchoring function significantly impacts the safety throughout the entire lifecycle of rock engineering projects. Over time, fractured rock masses undergo creep deformation, which interacts synergistically with the time-dependent changes in the pre-stress of anchor bolts. In this work, we conduct uniaxial tensile tests and tensile creep tests on fractured rock specimens anchored by pre-stressed bolts, analyzing the coordinated deformation between the pre-stressed anchor bolts and the fractured specimens. Firstly, conventional uniaxial tensile tests were conducted on the pre-stressed anchorage specimen. The study found that the tensile strength of the anchored specimens was significantly higher than that of the unanchored specimens. Additionally, the ability of the specimens to withstand tensile stresses and deformation improved as pre-stress increased. Secondly, uniaxial tensile creep tests were conducted on the prestressed anchored specimens. The results indicate that, as the stress level increases, the creep strain continues to increase. The application of prestress can effectively limit the tensile deformation of the specimen and delay its damage time. The greater the pre-stress, the smaller the instantaneous strain and creep strain rate during the graded loading test. Finally, based on the synergistic deformation of pre-stressed anchor bolts and the creeping rock mass, we establish a constitutive model reflecting the creep properties of fractured rock mass and derive a theoretical viscoelastic creep formula for anchored rock mass under uniaxial tension. Comparing the creep model with the test results shows that this model is highly applicable and accurate in verifying the tensile creep deformation of prestressed anchorage specimens.

This paper presents a new constitutive model based on the combination of plasticity and anisotropic damage mechanics to predict the nonlinear response of plain concrete. The aim is to overcome the deficiencies of the previous anisotropic damage-plasticity models in simulating concrete failure under multiaxial loadings. To effectively combine plasticity and damage, a decoupled algorithm and consequently a strain equivalence hypothesis are employed. A stress-based yield criterion and a non-associative flow rule are used in the plasticity formulation. The stress tensor is decomposed into positive and negative parts to consider the unilateral effect of concrete damage. Consequently, two sets of damage criteria and two anisotropic damage tensors are defined, which leads to automatically accounting for the stiffness recovery in transition from tensile to compressive stress. The viscous model of Duvaut–Lions is employed to improve mesh dependency. Moreover, the formulation is regularized to capture large crack opening and closing when the material has experienced large amounts of strain. The numerical implementation of the proposed model is described in detail. A special in-house finite element program incorporating the proposed approach is developed. The efficiency of the model is verified by comparing numerical results and experimental data for different benchmark problems such as monotonic and cyclic uniaxial tests, monotonic biaxial test, and mixed-mode multidimensional structural tests.

To reveal the mechanical properties and energy laws of high-temperature rock mass engineering under fatigue disturbance, this paper conducted a multi-scale study on thermally damaged granite. First, the macroscopic mechanical properties of the samples were studied. Secondly, the law of energy evolution was summarized based on thermodynamic theory. Then, a rockburst index was introduced, and NMR and SEM technologies were used to conduct a multi-scale discussion on the mechanism of influence on temperature. Finally, an improved nonlinear continuous damage model (INCDM) was established, and a hardening index and damage growth rate of low-cycle fatigue were defined. The result shows that temperature first strengthens and then weakens the fatigue mechanical properties of the sample, with a threshold temperature of 225°C. Temperatures below the threshold cause uneven expansion of mineral particles to squeeze natural pores, reduce the porosity of the sample, and thus increase the fatigue life and strength of the sample. Temperatures above the threshold cause dehydration and phase change of the minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica, forming transgranular/intergranular cracks, parallel cleavage and stratification, thus reducing the fatigue strength of the sample. In addition, the total energy, elastic energy and dissipated energy density of the sample all show a step-like increasing trend with the normalized cycle index. Energy storage satisfies a linear law. Affected by accelerated energy release, energy dissipation changes from linear to nonlinear law. As the temperature increases, the rockburst tendency first increases and then decreases. The fatigue failure changes from sudden instability to progressive instability mode. The fatigue-thermal damage of the sample satisfies a power law, and increases as a compound power function with the normalized cycle index.

Temperatures below the threshold cause uneven expansion of mineral particles to squeeze natural pores, reduce the porosity of the sample, and thus increase the fatigue life and strength of the sample. Temperatures above the threshold cause dehydration and phase change of the minerals such as quartz, feldspar, and mica, forming transgranular/intergranular cracks, parallel cleavage and stratification, thus reducing the fatigue strength of the sample. In addition, the total energy, elastic energy and dissipated energy density of the sample all show a step-like increasing trend with the normalized cycle index. Energy storage satisfies a linear law. Affected by accelerated energy release, energy dissipation changes from linear to nonlinear law. As the temperature increases, the rockburst tendency first increases and then decreases. The fatigue failure changes from sudden instability to progressive instability mode. The fatigue-thermal damage of the sample satisfies a power law, and increases as a compound power function with the normalized cycle index.","PeriodicalId":13837,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Damage Mechanics","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142690733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A method is proposed to analyze the effective moduli of periodically defective beam lattices by using the Lattice Green’s Functions (LGF). The LGF of beam lattices is built to calculate the displacement caused by external nodal forces. We describe the stress redistribution due to defects by applying extra nodal forces. Then, analyzing a defective unit cell is equivalently transformed to that on its perfect counterpart by representing the influence of defects by an equivalent force field based on the superposition principle. Based on the obtained displacement field of the defective unit cell, the elastic moduli of defective lattices can be calibrated based on the equivalence of strain energy, which indicates that the strain energy of the structural energetic expression is equal to its continuum counterpart. By comparing it with finite element simulations, the prediction ability of the proposed method has been demonstrated. Systematic parametric analyses are then carried out to illustrate the effects of element types, defect types, the defect number density, and the slenderness ratio on the effective moduli of defective lattices.
