There are various definitions of damage variables from the existing damage models. The calculated damage value by the current methods still could not well correspond to the actual damage value. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a damage evolution model corresponding to the actual damage evolution. In this paper, a strain rate-sensitive isotropic damage model for plain concrete is proposed to describe its nonlinear behavior. Cyclic uniaxial compression tests were conducted on concrete samples at three strain rates of 10−3s−1, 10−4s−1, and 10−5s−1, respectively, and ultrasonic wave measurements were made at specified strain values during the loading progress. A damage variable was defined using the secant and initial moduli, and concrete damage evolution was then studied using the experimental results of the cyclic uniaxial compression tests conducted at the different strain rates. A viscoelastic stress-strain relationship, which considered the proposed damage evolution model, was presented according to the principles of irreversible thermodynamics. The model results agreed well with the experiment and indicated that the proposed damage evolution model can accurately characterize the development of macroscopic mechanical weakening of concrete. A damage-coupled viscoelastic constitutive relationship of concrete was recommended. It was concluded that the model could not only characterize the stress-strain response of materials under one-dimensional compressive load but also truly reflect the degradation law of the macromechanical properties of materials. The proposed damage model will advance the understanding of the failure process of concrete materials.

Understanding the mechanical properties of saline ice is important for engineering design as well as for operations in polar regions. In order to gain understanding of the basic mechanisms of deformation and fracture, laboratory-grown columnar saline ice, representative of first-year sea ice, was tested in uniaxial compression under a variety of conditions of Strain rate (10−7to 10−1s−1), temper-aiure (−40°, −20°, −10° and −5°C) and orientation (loading vertically or horizontally: i.e. parallel or perpendicular to the growth direction). The range of strain rate spanned the ductile-to-brittle transition for every combination of temperature and specimen orientation. The results of over 250 tests are reported. Mechanical properties, failure mode and ice structure are analyzed with respect to the testing conditons. The results show that strength is dependent upon the ice structure, orientation, strain rate and temperature. During loading in the ductile regime the structure is altered (e.g. by recrystallization), whereas in the brittle regime the majority of the structural change is through cracking. The results are compared to results from the literature on both natural sea ice and laboratory-grown saline ice. Where possible, they are interpreted in terms of micromechanica] models.

The deformation and fracture behaviors of a bulk amorphous metal, Zr-based one ( Zr 41.2 Ti 13.8 CU 12.5 Ni 10 Be 22.5: Vitreloy), were investigated over a strain rate range (7 × 10-4~4 s -1). The uniaxial compression test and the indentation test using 3mm-diameter WC balls were carried out under the quasi-static loading condition. As a test result, at the uniaxial compression state, the fracture strength of the material was ~1,700MPa and the elastic strain limit was about 2%. The fracture strength showed a strain rate independent behavior up to 4 s-1. Using indentation tests, the plastic deformation behavior of the Zr-based BAM up to a large strain value of 15% could be achieved, even though it was the deformation under locally constrained condition. The Meyer hardness of the Zr-based BAM measured by static indentation tests was about 5 GPa and it revealed negligible strain hardening behavior. At indented sites, the plastic indentation occurred forming a crater and well-developed multiple shear bands were generated around it along the direction of 45° when the indentation load exceeded 7kN. With increasing indentation load, shear bands became dense. The fracture surface of the specimen after uniaxial compressive tests showed vein-like pattern, typical morphology of many BAMs.

AbstractThe composition of the fracture surfaces of a composite made up of a polycrystalline organic nonpolymeric filler and a binder composed of a copolymer was studied by XPS. Because the binder and the filler of the composite each have at least one element not in common it is possible to easily distinguish between the binder and filler by XPS. A measure of the relative amounts of binder and filler on the fracture surfaces, therefore, could be made as a function of the sample temperature, T, and the strain rate during fracture. The ratio of filler to binder, F/B, increases with decreasing T at constant strain rate and is least sensitive to strain rate at T's below TG, the quasi static glass transition T. At higher T, F/B increases with strain rate at constant T. These results indicate that as the binder becomes stronger and stiffer due to a decrease in T or an increase in strain rate more of the fracture processes take place in the filler whose properties are expected to be less sensitive to T and strain rate. These results are related to the fracture properties as observed by uniaxial compression.
