This book was released on 2018-05-29 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new model for local fiber failures in composite materials loaded longitudinally is presented. In developing the model, the goal was to account for the effects of fiber breakage on the global response of a composite in a relatively simple and efficient manner. Towards this end, the model includes the important feature of local stress unloading, even as global loading of the composite continues. The model has been incorporated into NASA Glenn's Micromechanics Analysis Code with Generalized Method of Cells (MAC/GMC) and was employed to simulate the longitudinal tensile deformation and failure behavior of several silicon carbide fiber/titanium matrix (SiC/Ti) composites. The model is shown to be quite realistic and capable of accurate predictions for various temperatures, fiber volume fractions, and fiber diameters. Further- more, the new model compares favorably to Curtin's (1993) effective fiber breakage model, which has also been incorporated into MAC/GMC.Bednarcyk, Brett A. and Arnold, Steven M.Glenn Research CenterTITANIUM; FIBER COMPOSITES; TENSILE DEFORMATION; SILICON CARBIDES; MICROMECHANICS; FAILURE; UNLOADING; DIAMETERS

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: A Generalized Multiscale Analysis Approach brings together comprehensive background information on the multiscale nature of the composite, constituent material behaviour, damage models and key techniques for multiscale modelling, as well as presenting the findings and methods, developed over a lifetime's research, of three leading experts in the field. The unified approach presented in the book for conducting multiscale analysis and design of conventional and smart composite materials is also applicable for structures with complete linear and nonlinear material behavior, with numerous applications provided to illustrate use. Modeling composite behaviour is a key challenge in research and industry; when done efficiently and reliably it can save money, decrease time to market with new innovations and prevent component failure.

This book was released on 2018-08-27 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new, widely applicable model for local interfacial debonding in composite materials is presented. Unlike its direct predecessors, the new model allows debonding to progress via unloading of interfacial stresses even as global loading of the composite continues. Previous debonding models employed for analysis of titanium matrix composites are surpassed by the accuracy, simplicity, and efficiency demonstrated by the new model. The new model was designed to operate seamlessly within NASA Glenn's Micromechanics Analysis Code with Generalized Method of Cells (MAC/GMC), which was employed to simulate the time- and rate-dependent (viscoplastic) transverse tensile and creep behavior of SiC/Ti composites. MAC/GMC's ability to simulate the transverse behavior of titanium matrix composites has been significantly improved by the new debonding model. Further, results indicate the need for a more accurate constitutive representation of the titanium matrix behavior in order to enable predictions of the composite transverse response, without resorting to recalibration of the debonding model parameters.Bednarcyk, Brett A. and Arnold, Steven M.Glenn Research CenterDEBONDING (MATERIALS); METAL MATRIX COMPOSITES; CREEP ANALYSIS; DEFORMATION; MODELS; TITANIUM; VISCOPLASTICITY...

This book was released on 2010 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rapid industrial growth and advances in the domains of engineering and related technologies during the last fifty years have led to the extensive use of traditional metals and their alloy counterparts. Titanium is one such metal which has gained wide popularity in the aerospace and defense related applications owing to a wide range of impressive mechanical properties like excellent specific strength ([sigma]UTS/[rho]), stiffness, corrosion and erosion resistance, fracture toughness and capability to withstand significant temperature variations. Two materials, namely commercial purity titanium (Grade 2), referred to henceforth as Ti-CP (Grade 2) and the "work-horse" alloy Ti-6Al-4V have been chosen for this research study. The intrinsic influence of material composition and test specimen orientation on the tensile and fatigue behavior for both Ti-CP (Grade 2) and Ti-6Al-4V have been discussed. Samples of both Ti-CP (Grade 2) and Ti-6Al-4V were prepared from the as-provided plate stock along both the longitudinal and transverse orientations. The specimens were then deformed to failure in uniaxial tension for the tensile tests and cyclically deformed at different values of maximum stress at constant load ratio of 0.1 for the high cycle fatigue tests. The microstructure, tensile properties, resultant fracture behavior of the two materials is presented in the light of results obtained from the uniaxial tensile tests. The conjoint influence of intrinsic microstructural features, nature of loading and specimen properties on the tensile properties is discussed. Also, the macroscopic fracture mode, the intrinsic features on the fatigue fracture surface and the role of applied stress-microstructural feature interactions in governing failure for the cyclic fatigue properties for both the materials under study Ti-CP (Grade 2) and the "work-horse" alloy Ti-6Al-4V have been discussed in detail. Careful study of the microstructure for Ti-CP (Grade 2) material at a low magnification revealed the primary alpha grains to be intermingled with small pockets of beta grains. Observation at the higher allowable magnifications of the optical microscope revealed very fine alpha phase lamellae located within the beta grain. The microhardness and macrohardness measurements were consistent through the sheet specimen for Ti-CP (Grade 2) and slightly lower compared to Ti-6Al-4V. However, the macrohardness was marginally higher than the microhardness resulting from the presence of a large volume fraction of the soft alpha phase. The hardness values when plotted reveal marginal spatial variability. Tensile fracture of Ti-CP (Grade 2) was at an inclination to the far field tensile stress axis for both longitudinal and transverse orientations. The overload region revealed a combination of fine microscopic cracks, microscopic voids of varying size and randomly distributed through the surface, and a large population of shallow dimples, features reminiscent of locally brittle and ductile failure mechanisms. The maximum stress ([sigma]maximum) versus fatigue life (Nf) characteristics shown by this material is quite different from those non-ferrous metals that exhibit a well-defined endurance limit. When compared at equal values of maximum stress at a load ratio of 0.1, the fatigue life of the transverse specimen is noticeably greater than the longitudinal counterpart. At equivalent values of maximum elastic strain, the transverse specimens revealed noticeably improved fatigue life as compared one-on-one to the longitudinal counterparts. Careful observations of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy microstructure over a range of magnifications spanning very low to high magnification revealed a duplex microstructure consisting of the near equiaxed alpha and transformed beta phases. The primary near equiaxed shaped alpha grains (light in color) was well distributed in a lamellar matrix with transformed beta (dark in color). The microhardness and macrohardness values recorded for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy reveal it to be harder than the commercially pure (Grade 2) material. However, for the Ti-6Al-4V alloy the microhardness is noticeably higher than the corresponding macrohardness value that can be ascribed to the presence of a population of processing-related artifacts and the hard beta-phase. Tensile fracture of the Ti-6Al-4V alloy was macroscopically rough and essentially normal to the far field stress axis for the longitudinal orientation and cup-and-cone morphology for the transverse orientation. However, microscopically, the surface was rough and covered with a population of macroscopic and fine microscopic cracks, voids of varying size, a population of shallow dimples of varying size and shape, features reminiscent of locally brittle and ductile failure mechanisms. When compared at equal values of maximum stress at a load ratio of 0.1, there is a marginal to no influence of microstructure on high cycle fatigue life of both orientations of the alloy.
