Elastic Damage

The failure of a discrete elastic-damage axial system is investigated using both a discrete and anequivalent continuum approach. The discrete damage mechanics (DDM) approach is based on amicrostructured model composed of a series of periodic elastic-damage springs (axial DDM latticesystem). Such a damage discrete system can be associated with the finite difference formulation of aContinuum Damage Mechanics (CDM) evolution problem.The nonlocal CDM models considered in this paper are mainly built from a continualizationprocedure applied to centered finite difference schemes. A comparison of the discrete and thecontinuous problems for the chains shows the effectiveness of the new micromechanics-basednonlocal Continuum Damage modeling, especially for capturing scale effects.

Cycles To Failure

Normal oral food ingestion processes such as mastication would not have been possible without the teeth. The human teeth are subjected to many cyclic loadings per day. This, in turn, exerts forces on the teeth just like an engineering material undergoing the same cyclic loading. Over a period, there will be the creation of microcracks on the teeth that might not be visible ab initio. The constant formation of these microcracks weakens the teeth structure and foundation that result in its fracture. Therefore, the need to predict the fatigue life for human teeth is essential. In this paper, a continuum damage mechanics (CDM) based model is employed to evaluate the fatigue life of the human teeth. The material characteristic of the teeth is captured within the framework of the elastoplastic model. By applying the damage evolution equivalence, a mathematical formula is developed that describes the fatigue life in terms of the stress amplitude. Existing experimental data served as a guide as to the completeness of the proposed model. Results as a function of age and tubule orientation are presented. The outcomes produced by the current study have substantial agreement with the experimental results when plotted on the same axes. There is a notable difference in the number of cycles to failure as the tubule orientation increases. It is also revealed that the developed model could forecast for any tubule orientation and be adopted for both young and old teeth.

Closure Effect

Additively manufactured parts often comprise internal porosities due to the manufacturing process, which needs to be considered in modelling their mechanical behaviour. It was experimentally shown that additively manufactured parts’ tensile and compressive mechanical properties are different for various metallic alloys. In this study, isotropic continuum damage mechanics is used to model additively manufactured alloys’ tension and compression behaviours. Compressive stress components can shrink discontinuities present in additively manufactured alloys. Therefore, the crack closure effect was employed to describe different behaviours during uniaxial tension and compression tests. A finite element model embedded in an ABAQUS’s UMAT format was developed to account for the isotropic continuum damage mechanics model. The numerical results of tension and compression tests were compared with experimental observations for additively manufactured maraging steel, AlSi10Mg and Ti-6Al-4V. Stress–strain curves in tension and compression of these alloys were obtained using the continuum damage mechanics model and compared well with the experimental results.
