In order to investigate damage evolution under the complex condition, coupled creep damage and carburization damage constitutive equations were developed according to continuum damage mechanics theory. Based on the finite element ABAQUS code, user subroutines were developed for analyz- ing damage evolution of ethylene furnace tube under the action of coupled creep- carburization. The results show that carburization accelerates the damage process dramatically, damage value reaches the critical value along the inner surface after serving for 75,000 h under the action of creep-carburization, meanwhile the damage value is only 0.53 along the outer surface after operating the same time under the action of creep alone, which means that microcracks are generated along the inner surface under the action of coupled creep-carburization, fracture begins along the outer surface of tube under the action of creep alone.展开更多

Using the total energy equivalence hypothesis, fully coupled constitutive equations are used to describe the non local damage induced softening leading to a mesh independent solution. An additional partial differential equation governing the evolution of the non local isotropic damage is added to the classical equilibrium equations and associated weak forms derived. This leads to discretized IBVP governed by two algebric systems. The first one, associated with equilibrium equations, is highly non linear and can be solved by an iterative Newton Raphson method. The second one, related to the non local damage, is a linear algebric system and can be solved directly to compute the non local damage variable at each load increment. Two fields, linear interpolation triangular element with additional degree of freedom is terms of the non local damage variable is constructed. The non local damage variable is then transferred from mesh nodes to the quadrature (or Gauss) points to affect strongly the elastoplastic behavior. Two simple 2D examples are worked out in order to investigate the ability of proposed approach to deliver a mesh independent solution in the softening stage.展开更多

In the model, the evolution equation of damage was introduced in and the time-dependent effects, e.g. holding time, loading rate, were taken into account. The model was applied to the simulation of whole-life cyclic deformation behaviors and prediction of LCF life for SS304 stainless steel in multiaxial time-dependent low cycle fatigue tests. It is shown that the simulated results agree well with experimental ones.展开更多

Mechanical damage due to microcracks in solid m...A general framework of hydro-mechanical-chemical coupling model is proposed for geomaterial subjected to the dual effects of mechanical loading and chemical degradation. Mechanical damage due to microcracks in solid matrix and chemical damage induced by the increase of porosity due to dissolution of matrix minerals as well as their interactions are considered. A special model is proposed for sandstone. The reaction rate is formulated within the framework of mineral reaction kinetics and can thus take into account different dissolution mechanisms of three main mineral compositions under different pH values. The increase of porosity is physically defined by the dissolution of mineral composition and the chemical damage is related to the increase of porosity. The mechanical behavior is characterized by unified plastic damage and viscoplastic damage modeling. The effective stress is used for describing the effect of pore pressure. The elastic parameters and plastic evolution as well as viscoplastic evolution are dependent on chemical damage. The advection, which is coupled with mechanical damage and chemical damage, is considered as the dominant mechanism of mass transfer. The application of model proposed is from decoupled experiments to fully coupled experiment. The model offers a convenient approach to describing the hydro-mechanical-chemical coupled behavior of geomaterial.展开更多

This paper introduces a reliability assessment model based on a local stress–strain approach considering both low-cycle fatigue and high energy impact loads.Two coupling relationships between fatigue and impact are given with effects of an impact process on fatigue damage and effects of fatigue damage on impact performance. The analysis of the former modifies the fatigue parameters and the Manson–Coffin equation for fatigue life based on material theories. On the other hand, the latter proposes the coupling variables and the difference of fracture toughness caused by accumulative fatigue damage. To form an overall reliability model including both fatigue failure and impact failure, a competing risk model is developed. A case study of an actuator cylinder is given to validate this method.展开更多

The results show that carburization accelerates the damage process dramatically, damage value reaches the critical value along the inner surface after serving for 75,000 h under the action of creep-carburization, meanwhile the damage value is only 0.53 along the outer surface after operating the same time under the action of creep alone, which means that microcracks are generated along the inner surface under the action of coupled creep-carburization, fracture begins along the outer surface of tube under the action of creep alone.

文摘In the seepage-stress-damage coupled process,the mechanical properties and seepage characteristics of coal are distinctly different between pre-peak stage and post-peak stage.This difference is mainly caused by damage of coal.Therefore,in the process of seepage and stress analysis of coal under the influence of excavation or mining,we need to consider the weakening of mechanical properties and the development of fractures of damaged coal.Based on this understanding,this paper analyzes the influence of damage on mechanics and seepage behavior of coal.A coupled model is established to analyze the seepage-stress-damage coupled process of coal.This model implemented into COMSOL and MATLAB software to realize the numerical solving.Two examples are adopted to verify the correctness of the model and some useful conclusions are obtained.The numerical model establishes the relationship between microcosmic damage evolution and macroscopical fracture and simulates the whole process of coal from microcosmic damage to macroscopical fracture,and the dynamic simulation of fluid flow in this process.It provides a numerical tool for further research on the seepage-stress-damage analysis.

文摘In this study,the numerical simulations of sheet metal forming processes are performed based on a fully coupled elastoplastic damage model.The effects of stress triaxiality and Lode angle are introduced into the damage evolution law to capture the loading-path-dependent failure.The proposed constitutive model is implemented into the finite element(FE)code ABAQUS/Explicit via the user-defined subroutine(VUMAT).Next,the identification procedure for DP780 based on the hybrid experimental-numerical method is presented in detail.The numerical results of simple tests are compared with the experiments,and obvious improvement is observed for the proposed model under various loading paths.Finally,the model is applied to predict the edge fracture during sheet blanking process.The predicted global load–displacement responses and crack paths have a good agreement with the experimental results,indicating that the model holds great potentials in simulation of metal forming processes.
文摘The objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for calibration of a discrete element grain-based model(GBM)to replicate the hydro-mechanical properties of a brittle rock measured in the laboratory,and to apply the calibrated model to simulating the formation of excavation damage zone(EDZ)around underground excavations.Firstly,a new cohesive crack model is implemented into the universal distinct element code(UDEC)to control the fracturing behaviour of materials under various loading modes.Next,a methodology for calibration of the components of the UDEC-Voronoi model is discussed.The role of connectivity of induced microcracks on increasing the permeability of laboratory-scale samples is investigated.The calibrated samples are used to investigate the influence of pore fluid pressure on weakening the drained strength of the laboratory-scale rock.The validity of the Terzaghi’s effective stress law for the drained peak strength of low-porosity rock is tested by performing a series of biaxial compression test simulations.Finally,the evolution of damage and pore pressure around two unsupported circular tunnels in crystalline granitic rock is studied.

文摘In this study,a phase-field scheme that rigorously obeys conservation laws and irreversible thermodynamics is developed for modeling stress-corrosion coupled damage(SCCD).The coupling constitutive relationships of the deformation,phase-field damage,mass transfer,and electrostatic field are derived from the entropy inequality.The SCCD localization induced by secondary phases in Mg is numerically simulated using the implicit iterative algorithm of the self-defined finite elements.The quantitative evaluation of the SCCD of a C-ring is in good agreement with the experimental results.To capture the damage localization,a micro-galvanic corrosion domain is defined,and the buffering effect on charge migration is explored.Three cases are investigated to reveal the effect of localization on corrosion acceleration and provide guidance for the design for resistance to SCCD at the crystal scale.

文摘Due to the high population density and economic property in urban environments,urban flooding can result in substantial economic losses.However,accurate urban flood modeling and assessing the associated damages are challenging due to complex urban layouts and rugged topography.Furthermore,the rapid development of urban underground spaces has introduced additional complexities.To address the demanding need for accurate flood modeling and damage assessment in cities,a fine-scale flood damage assessment method was proposed in this study,based on the 1D/2D coupled hydrodynamic model,which can not only assess the flood damage on the ground surface but also evaluate the flood loss in underground spaces.Taking the Gangxi drainage area in Wuhan City,China as a case,this study extensively discussed the flood inundation processes on the ground surface as well as in the buildings and underground spaces,under different rainfall scenarios with the return period ranging from 2 to 200 years.Based on the high spatial-temporal hydrodynamic simulations,the flood damage degrees were evaluated for the buildings and underground spaces with different industry types.The results indicated that the inundation of buildings and underground spaces in densely built cities cannot be neglected in urban flood modeling.Buildings with public service attributes can have a higher flood damage degree,as compared with other types of buildings and underground spaces.
文摘This paper presents a simple damage-gradient based elastoplastic model with non linear isotropic hardening in order to regularize the associated initial and boundary value problem (IBVP). Using the total energy equivalence hypothesis, fully coupled constitutive equations are used to describe the non local damage induced softening leading to a mesh independent solution. An additional partial differential equation governing the evolution of the non local isotropic damage is added to the classical equilibrium equations and associated weak forms derived. This leads to discretized IBVP governed by two algebric systems. The first one, associated with equilibrium equations, is highly non linear and can be solved by an iterative Newton Raphson method. The second one, related to the non local damage, is a linear algebric system and can be solved directly to compute the non local damage variable at each load increment. Two fields, linear interpolation triangular element with additional degree of freedom is terms of the non local damage variable is constructed. The non local damage variable is then transferred from mesh nodes to the quadrature (or Gauss) points to affect strongly the elastoplastic behavior. Two simple 2D examples are worked out in order to investigate the ability of proposed approach to deliver a mesh independent solution in the softening stage.

文摘The dynamic cumulative damage of rigid-flexible coupling model of high-speed train with flexible bogie frame is performed by using the coupled scheme of elastic and multibody dynamics theories.The motion equations of the present problem are firstly established by integrating the finite element method and floating frame of reference approach based on the virtual power principle and D'Alembert principle.The process of condensing the elastic DOFs of the obtained finite element model involving the incorporation of the substructure technique and sparse approximate inverse method is tentatively carried out.Then,the motion equations are further solved by virtue of the generalized α method and the Jacobian-free Newton-Krylov technologies.And the superiority of coupled scheme is proven by comparing with the traditional approach.Finally,besides the dynamic behaviors of the considered vehicle model,the time-variations of stresses on the elastic bogie frame's dangerous nodes and the distributions of stresses of bogie frame at some specified moments are synchronously calculated and analyzed.More importantly,the real-time and time-varying cumulative damages of some typical nodes on bogie frame are investigated.

文摘Based on the time-dependent strain cyclic characteristics and fatigue behaviors of SS304 stainless steel under multi-axial cyclic loading at 700 ？ C, and in the frame of unified visoco-plastic cyclic constitutive model and continuum damage mechanics theory, the damage-coupled multi-axial time-dependent constitutive model and fatigue failure model were proposed. In the model, the evolution equation of damage was introduced in and the time-dependent effects, e.g. holding time, loading rate, were taken into account. The model was applied to the simulation of whole-life cyclic deformation behaviors and prediction of LCF life for SS304 stainless steel in multiaxial time-dependent low cycle fatigue tests. It is shown that the simulated results agree well with experimental ones.

文摘A general framework of hydro-mechanical-chemical coupling model is proposed for geomaterial subjected to the dual effects of mechanical loading and chemical degradation. Mechanical damage due to microcracks in solid matrix and chemical damage induced by the increase of porosity due to dissolution of matrix minerals as well as their interactions are considered. A special model is proposed for sandstone. The reaction rate is formulated within the framework of mineral reaction kinetics and can thus take into account different dissolution mechanisms of three main mineral compositions under different pH values. The increase of porosity is physically defined by the dissolution of mineral composition and the chemical damage is related to the increase of porosity. The mechanical behavior is characterized by unified plastic damage and viscoplastic damage modeling. The effective stress is used for describing the effect of pore pressure. The elastic parameters and plastic evolution as well as viscoplastic evolution are dependent on chemical damage. The advection, which is coupled with mechanical damage and chemical damage, is considered as the dominant mechanism of mass transfer. The application of model proposed is from decoupled experiments to fully coupled experiment. The model offers a convenient approach to describing the hydro-mechanical-chemical coupled behavior of geomaterial.

文摘Fatigue induced products generally bear fatigue loads accompanied by impact processes,which reduces their reliable life rapidly. This paper introduces a reliability assessment model based on a local stress–strain approach considering both low-cycle fatigue and high energy impact loads.Two coupling relationships between fatigue and impact are given with effects of an impact process on fatigue damage and effects of fatigue damage on impact performance. The analysis of the former modifies the fatigue parameters and the Manson–Coffin equation for fatigue life based on material theories. On the other hand, the latter proposes the coupling variables and the difference of fracture toughness caused by accumulative fatigue damage. To form an overall reliability model including both fatigue failure and impact failure, a competing risk model is developed. A case study of an actuator cylinder is given to validate this method.
