Caustic study on blast-induced wing crack behaviors in dynamic–static superimposed stress field

This paper studies blast-induced wing crack behavior in a dynamic–static superimposed stress field using high-speed photography in combination with the optical method of caustics. With a static–dynamic loading setup, four PMMA plate specimens with pre-existing cracks under different static loading and the same dynamic loading were tested to observe the mechanical characteristics and the kinematic characteristics of blast-induced wing cracks during the propagation process, including crack length, crack velocity and dynamic stress intensity factor(SIF) at the crack tip. The results show that the behavior of the blast-induced wing crack is affected by the explosion stress wave and initial static stress, and the initial static stress with the direction being perpendicular to the wing crack propagation direction hinders crack propagation. Furthermore, the boundary constraint condition of the specimen plays an important role on the behavior of the crack propagation in the experiment.

复合材料MMB试件Ⅰ-Ⅱ混合型层间裂纹扩展分析

基于经典层合板理论及双线性黏聚区本构关系,建立了含一般分层裂纹层合板的理论模型,对Ⅰ-Ⅱ混合型弯曲(MMB)断裂试件进行了裂纹扩展理论分析。提出了一种Ⅰ-Ⅱ混合型断裂叠加模型,引入Ⅰ型裂纹分量的刚体转动位移,同时考虑了裂纹长度超过试件半长后中部载荷分量对裂纹扩展的闭合效应,并根据黏聚区力学响应,分段获得了位移函数通解。结合叠加模型的边界条件与连续性条件,分析了MMB试件的裂纹扩展过程,求解获得了载荷-位移曲线。通过与梁模型预测以及试验结果进行对比,验证了本文模型对Ⅰ-Ⅱ混合型裂纹扩展预测的有效性和准确性,并讨论了初始断裂模式混合比及闭合效应对裂纹扩展过程的影响。结果表明:初始Ⅱ型裂纹比重较大时,中部载荷的闭合效应更为明显,可能出现Ⅰ型裂纹完全闭合的情况;裂纹扩展过程中,当裂纹长度小于试件半长时,断裂混合比基本保持常数;当裂纹扩展超过试件半长后,闭合效应明显,混合裂纹形式逐渐向单一型断裂模式退化。
