Skalenübergreifende Modellierung und Simulation des mechanischen Verhaltens von textilverstärktem Polypropylen unter Nutzung der XFEM

Kästner, Markus 04 December 2009 (has links)
Die Arbeit beschreibt die skalenübergreifende Modellierung und Simulation des Werkstoffverhaltens von Faser-Kunststoff-Verbunden mit textiler Verstärkungsstruktur, die ausgehend von den konstitutiven Eigenschaften der Verbundbestandteile (Mikroskala) und ihrer geometrischen Anordnung im Verbund (Mesoskala) die rechnerische Vorhersage des effektiven Materialverhaltens des Verbundes (Makroskala) ermöglicht. Neben Schädigungsprozessen beeinflusst insbesondere das dehnratenabhängige Materialverhalten der polymeren Matrix das mechanische Verhalten des Verbundes. Dieser Einfluss wird anhand verschiedener Glasfaser-Polypropylen-Verbunde numerisch untersucht. Ein viskoplastisches Materialmodell bildet dabei das nichtlineare Materialverhalten von Polypropylen ab. Die Modellierung der textilen Verstärkungsstruktur erfolgt durch Anwendung der erweiterten Finiten-Elemente-Methode (XFEM). Anhand des Vergleichs von rechnerisch und experimentell gewonnenen Ergebnissen erfolgt schließlich die Verifikation der vorgeschlagenen Modellierungsstrategie. / This contribution covers the trans-scale modelling and simulation of the mechanical behaviour of textile-reinforced polymers. Starting from the material properties of the individual constituents (micro-scale) and their geometrical arrangement (meso-scale), the effective material behaviour of the composite (macro-scale) is numerically predicted. In addition to damage processes, the inelastic deformation behaviour of the composite is influenced by the strain-rate dependent material behaviour of the polymeric matrix. This influence is numerically investigated for different glass-fibre-polypropylene composites. A viscoplastic material model accounts for the nonlinear mechanical behaviour of polypropylene. The complex textile reinforcement is modelled by the eXtended finite element method (XFEM). A comparison of computed and experimental results allows for the verification of the proposed modelling strategy.

[pt] TEORIA E IMPLEMENTAÇÃO DE MODELOS CONSTITUTIVOS PARA GEOMATERIAIS / [en] THEORY AND IMPLEMENTATION OF CONSTITUTIVE MODELS FOR GEOMATERIALS

ALESSANDRO CIRONE 07 December 2020 (has links)
[pt] Desenvolveu-se estudo teórico e numérico para simular o comportamento tensão-deformação de solos e rochas. Procurou-se estabelecer modelagem constitutiva apta a representar as peculiaridades inerentes ao comportamento destes materiais sob grandes deformações e degradação da estrutura. Dentro do contexto geotécnico brasileiro, o objetivo da pesquisa foi, também, investigar uma nova abordagem constitutiva para modelar o comportamento de solos moles, solos residuais e rochas sedimentares. O trabalho está dividido nos seguintes tópicos: revisão bibliográfica; estudo de medidas de deformações e taxas objetivas de tensões; definição e desenvolvimento dos modelos constitutivos a serem testados; definição dos algoritmos de retorno para integração das equações constitutivas; implementação em elementos finitos; simulação do comportamento observado em ensaios de laboratório. Os resultados da pesquisa indicam que o comportamento viscoso da argila mole do Sarapuí pode ser reproduzido corretamente adotando-se modelo constitutivo viscoplástico. A abordagem de solo estruturado está condizente com o comportamento do arenito de Vila Velha. Por fim, para modelar o comportamento de solos residuais dentro de um novo quadro constitutivo, foi proposta uma separação das deformações irreversíveis. / [en] A theoretical and numerical study was developed to simulate the stressstrain behavior of soils and rocks, formulating constitutive models able to catch the peculiarities inherent to the behavior of these materials under large strains and structure degradation. Within the Brazilian geotechnical context, the objective of the research was also to investigate constitutive approaches to model the behavior of soft soils, residual soils and sedimentary rocks. The work is divided into the following topics: literature review; study of strain measurements and objective stress rates; definition and development of the constitutive models to be tested; definition of the return mapping algorithms for integrating the constitutive equations; finite element implementation; and simulation of the behavior observed in laboratory tests. Results indicate that the viscous behavior of the Sarapuí soft clay can be correctly reproduced by adopting a viscoplastic constitutive model. The structured soil approach appears to be consistent with the behavior of Vila Velha sandstone. Finally, a decomposition of irreversible strains was proposed to model the behavior of residual soils within a novel constitutive framework.

A Hybrid Constitutive Model For Creep, Fatigue, And Creep-fatigue Damage

Stewart, Calvin 01 January 2013 (has links)
In the combustion zone of industrial- and aero- gas turbines, thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) is the dominant damage mechanism. Thermomechanical fatigue is a coupling of independent creep, fatigue, and oxidation damage mechanisms that interact and accelerate microstructural degradation. A mixture of intergranular cracking due to creep, transgranular cracking due to fatigue, and surface embrittlement due to oxidation is often observed in gas turbine components removed from service. The current maintenance scheme for gas turbines is to remove components from service when any criteria (elongation, stress-rupture, crack length, etc.) exceed the designed maximum allowable. Experimental, theoretical, and numerical analyses are performed to determine the state of the component as it relates to each criterion (a time consuming process). While calculating these metrics individually has been successful in the past, a better approach would be to develop a unified mechanical modeling that incorporates the constitutive response, microstructural degradation, and rupture of the subject material via a damage variable used to predict the cumulative “damage state” within a component. This would allow for a priori predictions of microstructural degradation, crack propagation/arrest, and component-level lifing. In this study, a unified mechanical model for creep-fatigue (deformation, cracking, and rupture) is proposed. It is hypothesized that damage quantification techniques can be used to develop accurate creep, fatigue, and plastic/ductile cumulative- nonlinear- damage laws within the continuum damage mechanics principle. These damage laws when coupled with appropriate constitutive equations and a degrading stiffness tensor can be used to predict the mechanical state of a component. A series of monotonic, creep, fatigue, and tensile-hold creepfatigue tests are obtained from literature for 304 stainless steel at 600°C (1112°F) in an air. iv Cumulative- nonlinear- creep, fatigue, and a coupled creep-fatigue damage laws are developed. The individual damage variables are incorporated as an internal state variable within a novel unified viscoplasticity constitutive model (zero yield surface) and degrading stiffness tensor. These equations are implemented as a custom material model within a custom FORTRAN onedimensional finite element code. The radial return mapping technique is used with the updated stress vector solved by Newton-Raphson iteration. A consistent tangent stiffness matrix is derived based on the inelastic strain increment. All available experimental data is compared to finite element results to determine the ability of the unified mechanical model to predict deformation, damage evolution, crack growth, and rupture under a creep-fatigue environment.

Thermomechanical fatigue life prediction of metallic materials by a gradient-enhanced viscoplastic damage approach

Yin, Bo, Zreid, Imadeddin, Zhao, Dong, Ahmed, Raasheduddin, Lin, Guoyu, Kaliske, Michael 22 April 2024 (has links)
Fatigue failure plays an important role in engineering applications, especially when structural components experience significant cyclic thermal loading and complex force loading simultaneously. During the last decades, several post-processing techniques have been developed based on empirical investigations of experimental evidence to predict the fatigue life of materials. The work at hand postulates a conventional continuum damage theory for thermomechanical fatigue failure modeling. In particular, an implicit gradient-enhanced approach is employed to address the ill-posedness of the partial differential equation system when the damage onsets. An internal fatigue variable is phenomenologically defined based on the accumulation of viscoplasticity. In the sequel, a regularized fatigue variable is obtained to further yield the damagesoftening function, which straightforwardly applies to the stress, material tangent, and viscoplastic dissipation. A multi-field problem, consisting of the strain field, the temperature, and the non-local variable, is taken into consideration, leading to a fully coupled system. This numerical methodology is consistently derived and implemented into the context of the finite element method. Several representative and demonstrative examples are performed, which yield good numerical stability and agreement with experimental data. Conclusive findings and further perspectives close this article.

Étude du comportement viscoplastique en traction et en fluage de l’alliage TA6V de 20 à 600 degrés Celsius / Study of viscoplastic behaviour by tensile and creep testing of Ti-64 alloy from room temperature to 600°C

Surand, Martin 28 November 2013 (has links)
Les durées de vie classiques des pièces en aéronautique sont de plusieurs dizaines d’années. Cependant, certaines applications en marge impliquent des durées de vie bien plus courtes, sans réparation ou récupération des pièces. Les modèles de conception classiques doivent être adaptés et la démarche du choix matériau se faire « au juste besoin », autorisant l’utilisation des matériaux aux conditions limites de leur intégrité. Afin d’estimer ces limites, la caractérisation à plus hautes températures d’alliages existants est entreprise. C’est dans cette optique que se placent les travaux de thèse présentés dans ce manuscrit. L’alliage étudié est le Ti-6Al-4V (TA6V) forgé qui possède à l’issu du traitement thermomécanique une microstructure duplex. Il est actuellement l’alliage de titane le plus couramment utilisé en aéronautique et son utilisation est généralement limitée aux environs de 350°C pour des durées de vie classiques. Dans le but d’utiliser cet alliage pendant une dizaine d’heure, l’étude menée consiste à caractériser le TA6V de 20°C à 600°C. La caractérisation se centre, dans un premier temps, sur l’état métallurgique de la matière initiale issue du galet forgé et sur sa stabilité en température. Ensuite, le comportement mécanique du TA6V est étudié de 20°C à 600°C en traction, mettant en évidence une sensibilité de la contrainte d’écoulement à la vitesse de déformation dépendant de la température. Ce comportement est mis en lien avec le phénomène de vieillissement dynamique. La caractérisation du comportement mécanique est poursuivie par une campagne étendue de fluage de 20°C à 600°C pour différents niveaux de contraintes (de 0,3 à 1 fois la limite d’élasticité en traction). Ces essais montrent différents comportements en fonction de la température. La matière déformée en traction et en fluage est analysée en microscopie électronique en transmission afin d’apporter des informations sur les mécanismes de déformation gouvernant les différents comportements de l’alliage. Les campagnes de caractérisation en traction et en fluage ont permis d’établir un modèle de comportement viscoplastique du TA6V de 20°C à 600°C validé par l’ajustement des résultats obtenus à l’issue d’essais thermomécaniques complexes avec la simulation de ces essais par éléments finis. La corrélation des résultats en traction et en fluage et la détermination des mécanismes de déformation conduit à une discussion sur le comportement viscoplastique du TA6V, pour finalement aboutir à une proposition de modélisation du fluage du TA6V de 20°C à 600°C. Le modèle permet de reproduire qualitativement des courbes de fluage à partir de la sensibilité à la vitesse de déformation mesurée au cours d’essais de traction. / Classical life time of aeronautic parts lasts several decades. However, for some special applications with short life time and without repairs or recovery of parts, material design is tailored “close to real needs”. This justifies characterization at higher temperatures of well-known alloys and not developing new alloys. The study presented in this manuscript is included within this frame of short life applications. Forged Ti-6Al-4V (Ti-64) alloy with a bimodal microstructure is the most common titanium alloy in aeronautic and is usually limited below 350°C applications during classical life time. In order to use this alloy during a ten hour application, this thesis consists in characterizing Ti-64 from 20°C to 600°C. In a first time, characterization is focused on initial metallurgical state coming from a forged billet and on its thermal stability. Then, mechanical behavior of Ti-64 is studied by tensile testing from 20°C to 600°C, highlighting strain rate sensitivity (SRS) of flow stress. SRS is depending on temperature. This dependency is usually due to dynamic strain ageing phenomenon. Mechanical behavior characterization continues with creep testing from 20°C to 600°C for several stress levels (from 0.3 to 1 time yield stress values). Different behaviors versus temperature are revealed. Deformed samples by tensile testing and creep testing are analyzed by transmission electronic microscopy to bring information about deformation mechanisms controlling the different behaviors of the alloy. Thanks to tensile and creep testing, a viscoplastic modeling of Ti-64 from 20°C to 600°C has been performed and validated by fitting results from complex thermo mechanical tests with finite elements simulations. Comparison of mechanical behavior with deformation mechanisms leads to a discussion about viscoplasticity of Ti-64, and finally results in a proposal modeling creep behavior of Ti-64 from 20°C to 600°C. The model is able to estimate qualitatively creep curves using strain rate sensitivity measured during tensile tests.

Études des propriétés de composite à matrice thermoplastique thermostable au-delà de leur température de transition vitreuse / HIGH-PERFORMANCE THERMOPLASTIC COMPOSITES ABOVE THE GLASS TRANSITION TEMPERATURE

Borgna, Thomas 06 September 2017 (has links)
Ces travaux exposent et analysent les performances d’un composite à matrice thermoplastique semi-cristallin au passage et au-delà de la transition vitreuse. Il est nécessaire de donner des éléments objectifs afin d’évaluer et discuter dans quelles mesures ce matériau peut être utilisé de manière innovante. L’objectif visé est de donner des perspectives en termes de plage de températures d’utilisation des matériaux composites à matrice thermoplastique et plus spécifiquement pour des applications à hautes températures. Le composite à fibres continues de carbone et matrice polyétheréthercétone PEEK a ainsi été étudié sur une large gamme de température, avant et après sa température de transition vitreuse (Tg = 143°C).La phase de caractérisation quasi-statique a mis en évidence l’importance du renfort et le bon transfert de charge de la matrice au-delà de la Tg pour les différentes sollicitations. En particulier, la résistance à la rupture en compression s’est avérée intéressante dans l’optique d’une application structurelle. De plus, les observations fractographiques ont mis en évidence des comportements radicalement différents au passage de la transition vitreuse. Le caractère plus ductile de la matrice permet de limiter la propagation de fissures au travers des plis par dissipation de l’énergie : la plastification de la matrice augmente la capacité du composite à dissiper de l’énergie en limitant ainsi la fissuration. Cependant pour des chargements où la matrice pilote la réponse mécanique du composite tels que des efforts de cisaillement, les comportements non linéaires sont fortement accentués. Des mécanismes de déformations dépendant du temps ont été observés à travers des essais de charge-décharge et de fluage au-delà de la Tg : le caractère visqueux de la matrice joue un rôle prépondérant.Ces mécanismes non linéaires étant identifiables sur des temps longs, il était intéressant de proposer des méthodes de modélisation pour prédire le comportement du composite. C’est pourquoi des modèles à l’échelle du pli ont été adaptés en fonction de la température et de la prépondérance des caractères viscoélastique et viscoplastique. Différents essais de fluage-recouvrance en torsion rectangulaire menés sur un rhéomètre ont permis d’évaluer les composantes viscoélastiques et viscoplastiques de la déformation à des températures inférieures et supérieures à la Tg. / The present study shows and analyses the specifications of a semi-crystalline thermoplastic composite as function of temperature, below and above the glass transition. In order to assess and discuss about what extent this material could be innovately use, objective facts must be necessary exposed: the main target is to give the outlooks about the temperature range, in particular the high temperatures. The studied material is a continuous carbon fibre composite with a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) matrix. Its glass transition temperature is around 143°C. It has been characterized throughout a wide temperature range.For several kinds of quasi-static loadings, the load transfer from the matrix to the fibre reinforcement is good even above the glass transition temperature. The compression strength is indeed very interesting for an aeronautical application. In addition, the fracture surface analysis have significantly revealed a different behaviour above the glass transition temperature: the matrix is more ductile and thus the crack propagation is limited thanks to the energy dissipation. However when the mechanical response is driven by the matrix behaviour such as shear loadings, the nonlinear mechanical behaviour of the composite are highly increased. Therefore the time-dependent behaviours have been characterized by using creep experiments and loading-unloading tensile tests as function of the temperature.In order to predict those non-linear behaviours, meso-models have been developed as function of the temperature. Thus viscoelasticity and viscoplasticity have been taken into account to model the nonlinear mechanical behaviour of the composite material, thanks to creep-recovery tests which have been carried out with a torsion rheometer.

Influence of seawater ageing on the behaviour of adhesives : a rapid characterization of the evolution of mechanical properties of bonded joints / Développement d’une méthode rapide pour caractériser le comportement mécanique d’adhésifs dans un assemblage intégrant la prise en compte de l’effet du vieillissement hydrique

Ilioni, Alin 27 November 2017 (has links)
La majorité des adhésifs utilisés dans l’industrie marine sont des polymères avec un comportement mécanique qui est fortement influencé par les conditions environnementales (vieillissement hydrique ou température). Par conséquent, il est très important pour les ingénieurs travaillant dans des bureaux d’études d’être capable de prendre en compte ces effets lors des différentes étapes de développement et conception des assemblages collés.Le présent travail propose une méthode d’analyse de l’influence du vieillissement hydrique sur le comportement mécanique d’un adhésif structural époxy dans un assemblage collé. Tout d’abord, un modèle viscoélastique-viscoplastique a été développé pour caractériser la réponse mécanique de l’adhésif dans un joint de colle. Pour cela, le dispositif expérimentalArcan a été utilisé. Le modèle est identifié en utilisant la méthode d’identification inverse et les échantillons sont testés à l’état non-vieilli (pas de vieillissement hydrique). Les résultats obtenus après la démarche d’identification sont utilisés pour prédire le comportement mécanique d’éprouvettes massiques.Dans un deuxième temps, afin de diminuer les temps de saturation d’échantillons, l’évolution des propriétés mécaniques de l’adhésif est analysée sous différentes conditions de vieillissement hydrique (immersion dans l’eau de mer et en humidité relative contrôlée) grâce à des essais sur éprouvettes massiques.Les résultats obtenus seront utilisés pour identifier l’évolution de chaque paramètre du modèle proposé, en fonction de la quantité d’eau absorbée. En parallèle, un modèle de diffusion a été développé pour caractériser le gradient de teneur en eau des joints de colle. Les deux approches sont ensuite combinées pour modéliser les profils d’eau pour différents temps de vieillissement et prédire l’évolution des propriétés mécaniques du joint de colle après le vieillissement. Finalement, pour valider la méthode proposée, la prédiction du modèle est comparée avec des essais réalisés sur assemblages collés vieillis. / Most of the adhesives used in the marine industry are polymers with a mechanical behaviour which is strongly influenced by environmental conditions (water activity or temperature). Therefore, it is important for engineers and designers to be able to consider these effects during the different stages of development and manufacturing of a bonded structure.The present work presents a method for analyzing the influence of water ageing on the behaviour of an epoxy adhesive in an adhesively bonded assembly.First, a viscoelastic-viscoplastic model is developed to characterise the mechanical response of the adhesive at initial state in a bonded joint using the modified Arcan device. The model is identified using the inverse identification method and the considered samples are tested at an unaged stage (no water activity). The results obtained after the identification process are used to predict the bulk behaviour of the adhesive. A comparison between numerical results and experimental tests realised on bulk specimens is then made in order to validate this first approach.In a second phase, in order to decrease the times for samples saturation, the evolution of the mechanical properties of the adhesive in bulk form is tested under different water ageing conditions (immersion in seawater and different relative humidity). The obtained results allowed to identify the evolution of the model parameters as a function of water content. In parallel, a diffusion model was developed to characterise the water ingress in the bonded joint. These two approaches are then combined to model the water profiles and to consider the evolution of mechanical properties of a water aged adhesively bonded assembly, for different immersion times. Finally, to validate the framework, the prediction is compared with experimental tests performed on aged specimens.
