Failure Theories

Structural integrity of composite materials is governed by failure mechanisms that initiate at the scale of the microstructure. The local stress fields evolve with the progression of the failure mechanisms. Within the full span from initiation to criticality of the failure mechanisms, the governing length scales in a fibre-reinforced composite change from the fibre size to the characteristic fibre-architecture sizes, and eventually to a structural size, depending on the composite configuration and structural geometry as well as the imposed loading environment. Thus, a physical modelling of failure in composites must necessarily be of multi-scale nature, although not always with the same hierarchy for each failure mode. With this background, the paper examines the currently available main composite failure theories to assess their ability to capture the essential features of failure. A case is made for an alternative in the form of physical modelling and its skeleton is constructed based on physical observations and systematic analysis of the basic failure modes and associated stress fields and energy balances. This article is part of the themed issue ‘Multiscale modelling of the structural integrity of composite materials’.

The problem of orthotropic composite materials semi-infinite interfacial crack was studied, by constructing new stress functions and employing the method of composite material complex. In the case that the secular equations’ discriminates the and theoretical solutions to the stress fields and the displacement fields near semi-infinite interface crack tip without oscillation and inter-embedding between the interfaces of the crack are obtained, a comparison with finite element example was done to verify the correction of theoretical solution.

Abstract Based on the Zhurkov’s kinetic concept of solids’ fracture a local internal stress estimation method is introduced. Stress field is computed from the time series of acoustic emission intervals between successive signals. For the case of two structurally different materials the time evolution of these stresses is examined. It is shown that temporal changes of these stresses’ accumulation law may serve as a precursor of incoming macroscopic fracture.

Microcrack Initiation

Slip localization is widely observed in metallic polycrystals after tensile deformation, cyclic deformation or pre-irradiation followed by tensile deformation. Such strong deformation localized in thin slip bands induces local stress concentrations in the quasi-elastic matrix around, at the intersections between slip bands (SBs) and grain boundaries (GBs) where microcrack initiation is often observed. Since the work of Stroh, such stress fields have been mostly modeled using the dislocation pile-up theory which leads to stress singularities similar to the LEFM ones. The Griffith criterion has then been widely applied, leading usually to strong underestimations of the macroscopic stress to GB crack initiation. In fact, slip band thickness is finite: 20nm-1000nm depending on material, temperature and loading conditions. Then, many slip planes are plastically activated through the thickness, and not only one single atomic plane. To evaluate more realistic stress fields, numerous crystalline finite element (FE) computations have been carried out using microstructure inputs (slip band aspect ratio, crystal and GB orientation...). A strong influence of slip band thickness close to the slip band corner has been highlighted, which is not accounted for by the pile-up theory. But far away, the thickness has a negligible effect and the predicted stress fields are close to the one predicted by the pile-up theory. Closed-form expressions are deduced from the numerous FE computation results allowing a straightforward prediction of GB stress fields. Slip band plasticity parameters, such as length and thickness, as well as crystal orientation, GB plane and remote stress are taken into account. The dependence with respect to the various parameters can be understood in the framework of matching expansions usually applied to cracks with V notches of finite thickness. As the exponent of the GB stress close-field is only about one-half of the pile-up or LEFM crack one, the Griffith criterion may not be used for GB microcrack prediction in case of finite thickness. That is why finite crack fracture mechanics is used together with both energy and stress criteria. Taking into account SB finite thickness, t>0, leads to predicted remote stresses to GB microcrack initiation three to six times lower than the ones predicted using the to pile-up theory, in agreement with experimental data.

Computational algorithms aiming at modeling and visualization of the initiation and growth of intergranular stress corrosion cracks (e.g., in the steam generator tubes) on the grain-size scale have already been proposed. Main focus of the paper addresses the influence of randomly oriented anisotropic elasto-plastic grains on the microscopic stress fields at crack tips. The limited number of calculations indicate that the incompatibility strains, which develop along the boundaries of randomly oriented grains, influence the local stress fields (J-integrals) at crack tips significantly.
