【摘要】 很多实验发现当材料的特征长度在微米量级,材料表现出很强的尺度效应:越小越强。由于经典塑性理论的本构关系中不包含一个长度参数,所以它不能预测这种尺度效应。因此非常有必要建立一个包含内禀材料长度的微米尺度连续统理论(应变梯度塑性理论)。 本文主要集中在基于细观机制的应变梯度(MSG)形变理论,另外在理论分析时顺带研究了拉伸和旋转梯度(SG)理论。 应用MSG理论研究了微压痕和断裂问题。微压痕结果显示从零点几个微米到十几个微米的范围内,MSG理论预测的结果都和实验结果吻合得非常好。这表明MSG理论可以精确的描述材料在微米和亚微米尺度上的塑性变形。研究断裂的目的是为了通过提高裂尖应力水平来解释在韧性材料断裂实验中观察到的现象。结果显示MSG塑性的应力水平明显高于HRR场的结果,而且它的应力奇异性不仅超过HRR场的,还等于或者超过弹性场的平方根奇异性,并且它的应力奇异性与塑性硬化指数无关。综合考虑其它模型,有限元结果给出了一个韧性材料多尺度断裂描述。 因为原先的MSG和SG理论只能适用于不可压缩材料,所以在重新分解应变梯度张量的基础上,本文把MSG和SG理论拓展到可压缩材料。结果显示在微压痕和断裂问题中可压缩性的影响不可忽略。在断裂问题中最主要的区别是MSG理论裂纹尖端应力奇异性不会超过弹性场的平方根奇异性。 本文建立了MSG和SG的有限变形理论。本构关系建立在初始构形,在初始构形和即时构形间建立了运动学和张量转移关系。在初始和即时构形中给出平衡方程和边界条件。应用有限元方法研究了大变形的微压痕和断裂问题。结果显示通过改变材料常数大变形和小变形都可以和微压痕实验结果吻合好,大小变形理论在断裂问题上的区别仅仅存在于非常靠近裂纹尖端处。更多还原

【Abstract】 Many experiments have shown that materials display strong size effects when the characteristic length scale is on the order of microns: the smaller, the stronger. The classical plasticity theories can not predict this size dependence of material behavior at the micron scale because their constitutive models possess no internal length scale. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a micron level continuum theory (strain gradient plasticity theory) considering the intrinsic material length.This paper is focussed on the mechanism-based strain gradient (MSG) deformation plasticity theory. Furthermore, the stretch and rotation gradient (SG) theory is mentioned incidentally in some part of the research.Micro-indentation and fracture are studied using MSG theory. The results of micro-indentation show that MSG theory agree very well with experimental data, with indent depth from one tenth of a micron to several microns, indicating that MSG theory are capable of characterizing the plastic behavior rather accurately at the micron and submicron scales. The purpose of the fracture studies is focussed on the increase of stress level around the crack tip in order to explain the observed cleavage fracture in ductile materials. The results show that the stress level in MSG plasticity is significantly higher than the HRR field. MSG plasticity also predicts that the crack tip stress singularity is not only larger than that in the HRR filed, but also exceeds or equals to the square-root singularity. Moreover, the crack tip stress singularity is independent of the plastic work hardening exponent. In conjunction with other model, the results provide a multiscale view of cleavage fracture in ductile materials.MSG and SG theory are generalized to compressible material based on a new decomposition of strain gradient tensor, because the original MSG and SG theories are only suitable for incompressible materials. The results of micro-indentation and fracture show that the influence of compressibility can not be ignored. The main influence in fracture of MSG plasticity is that the crack tip stress singularity does not exceed the square-root singularity.Finite deformation theories of strain gradient are developed in this paper, for both MSG and SG theory. The constitutive relations are established in the initial configuration by two different methods. The kinematics and tensors transfer relations are provided between the initial and current configurations. The equilibrium equation and boundary conditions are developed in both configurations. The micro-indentation and fracture are studied by finite element method. The micro-indentation results show that both theories for finite and infinitesimal deformation agree well with experimental data by suitably chosen material lengths. The results for fracture show that the difference between finite and infinitesimal deformation only exists in the vicinity very close to crack tip.更多还原
