摘要
目的研究非自相似分层次结构对生物复合材料的断裂力学性质及裂纹在其中扩展的影响。方法利用ABAQUS软件进行建模,采用扩展有限元法分别模拟矿物晶体长轴方向与矿化胶原纤维长轴方向夹角θ=0°、20°、40°、60°、80°时矿化胶原纤维束的刚度以及裂纹在其中产生和扩展情况。结果当θ≤40°时,θ对材料刚度的影响很小;当θ>40°时,材料刚度随着θ增大而减小,其极限拉伸应变随着θ增大而增大。当θ>0°时,裂纹在增强项两侧蛋白质扩展过程中有不对称现象,矿物晶体长轴偏转的一侧裂纹相对更容易扩展。结论生物硬组织材料中的非自相似分层次结构使得材料中的裂纹分布变得不均匀,故硬组织材料中的非一致排列现象可使得材料在外载荷作用下发生局部破坏而非灾难性脆断。研究结果可为材料设计提供理论支持。
Objective To study the effect of non-self-similar hierarchy on fracture mechanical properties and crack propagation of the biocomposite. Methods The numerical models were established by using ABAQUS,and the stiffness and crack initiation and propagation in the biocomposite with the inclination angles between the axis of the prism and mineralized collagen fibrils θ = 0°,20°,40°,60°,80° were simulated by extended finite element method. Results The inclination angle θ had limited influences on biocomposite stiffness at θ ≤ 40°,while biocomposite stiffness decreased with θ at θ >40°. The ultimate tensile strain also increased at θ >40°. Asymmetry in the crack was also found during propagation of matrix surrounded-enhanced phases at θ > 0°. The crack propagatation on one side of the long axis of the mineral crystal was relatively easier than that on the other side atθ >0°. Conclusions The non-uniform distributions of cracks were found in biological hard tissues arisen from the non-self-similar hierarchy. The non-uniform crystal arrangement in the biocomposite would result in local damage rather than catastrophic fracture. The findings of this study can provide theoretical support for material design.
