轴向进给滚轧是一种局部加载、轴向增量变形的塑性成形工艺,为长内花键提供了一种高性能、省力成形制造途径。采用数值方法研究分析了采用3滚轧模具的传动轴花键毂内花键轴向进给滚轧过程的材料流动行为。结果表明:材料的流动和变形主要发生在坯料的内表层,外表面基本没有材料流动;内花键轴向进给滚轧过程材料流动速度沿轴向逐渐减小,而累积的材料位移在不同成形区分布基本类似,只是位移量值有区别;不同滚轧模具切入区结构下滚轧过程中材料流动、位移的分布特征和演化特征类似,采用斜切式滚轧模具的滚轧过程中材料轴向流动倾向大于采用径缩式滚轧模具的滚轧过程轴向材料流动。

Mechanical properties of AISI 1045 ceramic coated materials by nano indentation and crack opening displacement method

Abstract： An effective approach was conducted for estimating fracture toughness using the crack opening displacement （COD） method for plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition （PECVD） coating materials. For this evaluation, an elastoplastic analysis was used to estimate critical COD values for single edge notched bending （SENB） specimens. The relationship between fracture toughness （Kic） and critical COD for SENB specimens was obtained. Microstructure of the interface between AleO3-TiO2 composite ceramic coatings and AISI 1045 steel substrates was studied by using scanning electron microscope （SEM）. Chemical compositions were clarified by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS）. The results show that the interface between of Al203-TiO2 and substrate has mechanical combining. The nanohardness of the coatings can reach 1 200 GPa examined by nanoindentation. The Klc was calculated according to this relationship from critical COD. The bending process produces a significant relationship of COD independent of the axial force applied. Fractographic analysis was conducted to determine the crack length. From the physical analysis of nanoindentation curves, the elastic modulus of 1045/AI2O3-TiO2 is 180 GPa for the 50 μm film. The highest value of fracture toughness for 1045/A1203-TiO2-250 μm is 348 MPa·mv2.

Parameters of static response of carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP) suspension cables

The feasibility of longer spans relies on the successful implementation of new high-strength light weight materials such as carbon fiber reinforced polymer(CFRP). First, a dimensionless equilibrium equation and the corresponding compatibility equation are established to develop the cable force equation and cable displacement governing equation for suspension cables, respectively. Subsequently, the inextensible cable case is introduced. The formula of the Irvine parameter is considered and its physical interpretation as well as its relationship with the chord gravity stiffness is presented. The influences on the increment of cable force and displacement by λ2 and load ratio p′ are analyzed, respectively. Based on these assumptions and the analytical formulations, a 2000 m span suspension cable is utilized as an example to verify the proposed formulation and the responses of the relative increment of cable force and cable displacement under symmetrical and asymmetrical loads are studied and presented. In each case, the deflections resulting from elastic elongation or solely due to geometrical displacement are analyzed for the lower elastic modulus CFRP. Finally, in comparison with steel cables, the influences on the cable force equation and the governing displacement equation by span and rise span ratio are analyzed. Moreover, the influences on the static performance of suspension bridge by span and sag ratios are also analyzed. The substantive characteristics of the static performance of super span CFRP suspension bridges are clarified and the superiority and the characteristics of CFRP cable structure are demonstrated analytically.

Analysis of semi-solid response under rapid compression tests using multi-scale modelling and experiments

Simulating semi-solid metal forming requires modelling semi-solid behaviour.However, such modelling is difficult because semi-solid behavior is thixotropic and depends on the liquid-solid spatial distribution within the material.In order to better understand and model relationships between microstructure and behavior, a model based on micromechanical approaches and homogenisation techniques is presented.This model is an extension of a previous model established in a pure viscoplastic framework to account for elasticity.Indeed, experimental load-displacement signals reveal the presence of an elastic-type response in the earlier stages of deformation when semi-solids are loaded under rapid compression.This elastic feature of the behaviour is attributed to the response of the porous solid skeleton saturated by incompressible liquid.A good quantitative agreement is found between the elastic-viscoplastic predicted response and the experimental data.More precisely, the strong initial rising part of the load-displacement curve, the peak load and the subsequent fall in load are well captured.The effect of solid fraction on mechanical response is in qualitative agreement with experiments.

Apparently Negative Electric Polarization in Shaped Graded Dielectric Materials

By using a first-principles approach, we investigate the pathway of electric displacement fields in shaped graded dielectric materials existing in the form of cloaks with various shapes. We reveal a type of apparently negative electric polarization （ANEP）, which is due to a symmetric oscillation of the paired electric permittivities, satisfying a sum rule. The ANEP does not occur for a spherical cloak, but appears up to maximum as a/b （the ratio between the long and short principal axis of the spheroidal cloak） is about 5/2, and eventually disappears as a/b becomes large enough corresponding to a rod-like shape. Further, the cloaking efficiency is calculated for different geometrical shapes and demonstrated to closely relate to the ANEP. The possibility of experiments is discussed. This work has relevance to dielectric shielding based on shaped graded dielectric materials.

Asymmetric Green's functions for exponentially graded transversely isotropic substrate–coating system

By virtue of a complete set of two displacement potentials,an analytical derivation of the elastostatic Green’s functions of an exponentially graded transversely isotropic substrate–coating system is presented.Three-dimensional point–load and patch–load Green’s functions for stresses and displacements are given in line-integral representations.The formulation includes a complete set of transformed stress–potential and displacement–potential relations,with utilizing Fourier series and Hankel transforms.As illustrations,the present Green’s functions are degenerated to the special cases such as an exponentially graded half-space and a homogeneous two-layered half-space Green’s functions.Because of complicated integrand functions,the integrals are evaluated numerically and for numerical computation of the integrals,a robust and effective methodology is laid out which gives the necessary account of the presence of singularities of integration.Comparisons of the existing numerical solutions for homogeneous two-layered isotropic and transversely isotropic half-spaces are made to confirm the accuracy of the present solutions.Some typical numerical examples are also given to show the general features of the exponentially graded two-layered half-space Green’s functions that the effect of degree of variation of material properties will be recognized.

Dynamic conducting crack propagation in piezoelectric materials:Mode-II problem

This paper studies the dynamic conducting crack propagation in piezoelectric solids under suddenly in-plane shear loading. Based on the integral transform methods and the Wiener-Hopf technique, the resulting mixed boundary value problem is solved. The analytical solutions of the dynamic stress intensity factor and dynamic electric displacement intensity factor for the Mode II case are derived. Furthermore, the numerical results are presented to illustrate the characteristics of the dynamic crack propagation. It is shown that the universal functions for the dynamic stress and electric displacement intensity factors vanish if the crack propagation speed equals the generalized Rayleigh speed. The results indicate that the defined electro-mechanical coupling coefficient is of great importance to the universal functions and stress intensity factor history.

A new method to determine the elastoplastic properties of ductile materials by conical indentation

Based on load-displacement curves,indentation is widely used to extract the elastoplastic properties of materials.It is generally believed that such a measure is non-unique and a full stress-strain curve cannot be obtained using plural sharp and deep spherical indenters.In this paper we show that by introducing an additional dimensionless function of A/A (the ratio of residual area to the area of an indenter profile) in the reverse analysis,the elastoplastic properties of several unknown materials that exhibit visually indistinguishable load-displacement curves can be uniquely determined with a sharp indentation.
