Crack arrest capability of aluminium alloys under dynamic loading / Capacité d'arrêt de fissure dans les alliages d'aluminium sous chargement dynamiqueGunasilan, Manar 16 November 2018 (has links)
Les structures aéronautiques peuvent être soumises à des sollicitations sévères telles que les collisions, les impacts de volatiles, etc … Sous l’effet de ces sollicitations rapides, qui du fait de leurs temps caractéristiques très courts limitent les transferts thermiques, le matériau peut dissiper l’énergie dans des zones de déformation localisée qui peuvent conduire à une ruine prématurée de la structure. Le travail de la thèse porte sur la définition d’une méthodologie expérimentale destinée à étudier les conditions de rupture de matériaux à haute résistance à vocation aéronautique consécutives à un endommagement dynamique. Ce travail comprend : •la mise au point d’essais rapides de cisaillement ; •des observations microstructurales des matériaux avant et après sollicitation ; •la simulation numérique des essais. / Aeronautical structures may be submitted to severe loading such as collisions, bird strike, etc. Under dynamic loading, involving quasi adiabatic conditions, the material may dissipate energy within zones of localised deformation wich may lead to the premature failure of the structure. The PhD work aims at defining an experimental methodology devoted to study the conditions of fracture of aeronautical, high strength materials intervening after dynamic damage. Tasks include notably: * definition of dynamic shear tests * microstructural observation of the material before and after loading * numerical simulation * Development of fracture criterion

Numerical simulation of fracture in unreinforced masonryChaimoon, Krit, Civil & Environmental Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, UNSW January 2007 (has links)
The aims of this thesis are to study the fracture behaviour in unreinforced masonry, to carry out a limited experimental program on three-point bending (TPB) masonry panels and to develop a time-dependent fracture formulation for the study of mode I fracture in quasi-brittle materials. A micro-model for fracture in unreinforced masonry is developed using the concept of the discrete crack approach. All basic masonry failure modes are taken into account. To capture brick diagonal tensile cracking and masonry crushing, a linear compression cap is proposed with a criterion for defining the compression cap. The failure surface for brick and brick-mortar interfaces are modelled using a Mohr-Coulomb failure surface with a tension cut-off and a linear compression cap. The fracture formulation, in nonholonomic rate form within a quasi-prescribed displacement approach, is based on a piecewise-linear constitutive law and is in the form of a so-called ?linear complementarity problem? (LCP). The proposed model has been applied to simulating fracture in masonry shear walls and masonry TPB panels. An experimental program was undertaken to investigate the failure behaviour of masonry panels under TPB with relatively low strength mortar. The basic material parameters were obtained from compression, TPB and shear tests on bricks, mortar and brick-mortar interfaces. The experimental results showed that the failure of masonry TPB panels is governed by both tensile and shear failure rather than just tensile failure. The simulation of the masonry TPB tests compared well with the experimental results. In addition, the LCP fracture formulation is enhanced to study the time-dependent mode I fracture in quasi-brittle materials. Two main time-dependent sources, the viscoelasticity of the bulk material and the crack rate dependent opening, are taken into account. A simplified crack rate model is proposed to include the rate-dependent crack opening. The model is applied to predicting time-dependent crack growth in plain concrete beams under sustained loading. The model captures the essential features including the observed strength increase with loading rate, the load-deflection and load-CMOD responses, the deflection-time and CMOD-time curves, the predicted time to failure and the stress distributions in the fracture zone.
