中应变率拉伸载荷下DZ2车轴钢的动态力学响应与微观组织演变

高速列车运行过程中车轴可能遭受不同程度的冲击载荷作用，导致车轴的结构损伤与破坏，从而影响列车运营安全和服役寿命.因此，明晰冲击载荷下车轴材料的力学响应和变形损伤行为，对高速动车组车轴的运维与设计具有重要意义.论文研究了DZ2车轴钢在中应变率(0.1～100 s^-1)拉伸条件下的力学性能和微观结构演变，揭示了DZ2车轴钢的变形与失效机理，构建了可准确描述DZ2车轴钢力学响应行为的Zerilli-Armstrong模型.结果表明，位错滑移和韧性断裂是DZ2车轴钢塑性变形和失效的主要机制，但由于位错运动状态的改变，其强度的应变率依赖性在不同应变率范围内存在较大差异.当应变率低于10 s^-1时，DZ2车轴钢内的位错密度低，位错运动阻碍作用小，其强度不会随应变率增加而显著变化，具有低的应变率敏感性；而在应变率超过10 s^-1后，DZ2车轴钢内的位错密度大幅度增加，位错运动速率加快，位错短程作用增强，从而增大了材料的变形抗力，材料的强度随应变率增加而增大，表现出显著的应变率强化效应，应变率敏感性也明显提高.与实验数据相一致，Zeri...

Annealing and strain rate effects on the mechanical behavior of ultrafine-grained iron produced by SPD

Thermal stability and strain rate sensitivity of ultrafine-grained (UFG) Fe produced by severe plastic deformation (SPD) were investigated. The UFG Fe was processed by equal-channel angular pressing (ECAP) via route Bc. After 6 passes, the grain size of UFG Fe reaches 600 nm, as confirmed by means of electron back scatter diffraction (EBSD). Examination of micro-hardness and grain size of UFG Fe as a function of post-ECAP annealing temperature shows a transition from recovery to recrystallization. The critical transition temperature is approximately 500 °C, and the material has a bimodal structure after annealing at this temperature. Deformation behaviors of ECAP Fe and ECAP + annealing Fe were studied under both quasi-static and dynamic compressive loadings. The UFG iron shows increased strength and reduced strain rate sensitivity compared with its coarse-grained counterparts. The appropriate post-ECAP annealing can increase strain hardening ability and cancel out thermal softening effect with only a small loss of strength under dynamic loading.     

Computational simulation of the dependence of the austenitic grain size on the deformation behavior of TRIP steels

Due to the strain-induced martensitic transformation which occurs during plastic deformation, a transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) phenomenon is generated. With the TRIP phenomenon, the TRIP steel possesses favorable mechanical properties such as high strength, ductility and toughness, and is frequently employed as a structural material. In the past, several researchers clarified experimentally that the strain-induced martensitic transformation and the deformation behavior of TRIP steel depend upon the austenitic grain size. In order to obtain the expected mechanical properties of TRIP steel through control of the austenitic grain size, prediction and control of the material characteristics in the deformation processes is essential. Here, the new strain-induced martensitic transformation kinetics model and constitutive equation of TRIP steels are proposed by considering the dependence of the austenitic grain size. Then, the deformation behavior of a type 304 austenitic stainless steel cylinder is simulated under different environmental temperatures with the various austenitic grain sizes by the finite-element method along with newly-proposed constitutive equations. Finally, the validity of proposed constitutive equations and the possibility of the improvement of the mechanical properties through control of the austenitic grain size are discussed.     

基于三维DIC方法的高强钢拉伸力学性能测定

高强度钢在建筑等工程领域发挥着极为重要的作用,因此准确测定其力学性能具有至关重要的意义．鉴于传统机械引伸计在小尺寸试样变形测试中的不便性,利用三维数字图像相关(3D-DIC)方法,对8.8级螺栓和Q690钢这两类试样在单轴拉伸试验全过程中的变形进行了测试,分别得到了应力-应变曲线、弹性模量、屈服强度、强度极限、断后延伸率和断面收缩率,由于试样在屈服阶段应变增加而应力基本不变,因此同时研究了该阶段中试样从弹性变形演化到塑性变形的发展规律．实验结果表明三维DIC在小尺寸试样力学性能测试方面具有很强的优越性,可用来灵活地测量变形并研究变形的演化规律．     

Numerical study of the plastic behaviour in tension of welds in high strength steels

The influence of the mismatch between material properties and constraint on the plastic deformation behaviour of the heat affected zone of welds in high strength steels is investigated in this study, using finite element simulations. An elastoplastic implicit three-dimensional finite element code (EPIM3D) was used in the analysis. The paper presents the mechanical model of the code and the methodology used for the numerical simulation of the tensile test of welded joints. Numerical results of the tensile test of welded samples with different hypothetical widths for the Heat Affected Zone and various material mismatch levels are shown. The analysis concerns the overall strength and ductility of the joint and in relation to the plastic behaviour of the heat affected zone. The influence of the yield stress, tensile strength and constraint on the stress and plastic strain distribution in the soft heat affected zone is also discussed.     

球化退火态重载车轮钢CL70磨损性能及组织演化

Interrupted Test of Advanced High Strength Steel with Tensile Split Hopkinson Bar Method

The phase fraction evolution in a material during quasi-static and dynamic tests can be studied by interrupting the test at predetermined elongation values. While it is straightforward to interrupt quasi-static tests at a predetermined level of elongation, this interruption presents difficulties at high strain rate conditions. In the present paper, an interruption mechanism has been developed to control the elongation of specimens at high strain rate using a modified split Hopkinson tensile bar. This interruption mechanism is based on the interaction between the test specimen and the external interruption device. The influence of the designed external device on the stress waves and also the ability of the system to support the interruption of the deformation process were considered in the numerical analysis and verified by the experimental results. Finally, the influences of strain and strain rates on the volume fraction evolution of the retained austenite in quenched & partitioned steel were reported.

Inelastic deformation and energy dissipation in ceramics: A mechanism-based constitutive model

A mechanism-based constitutive model is presented for the inelastic deformation and fracture of ceramics. The model comprises four essential features: (i) micro-crack extension rates based on stress-intensity calculations and a crack growth law, (ii) the effect of the crack density on the stiffness, inclusive of crack closure, (iii) plasticity at high confining pressures, and (iv) initial flaws that scale with the grain size. Predictions of stress/strain responses for a range of stress states demonstrate that the model captures the transition from deformation by micro-cracking at low triaxiality to plastic slip at high triaxialities. Moreover, natural outcomes of the model include dilation (or bulking) upon micro-cracking, as well as the increase in the shear strength of the damaged ceramic with increasing triaxiality. Cavity expansion calculations are used to extract some key physics relevant to penetration. Three domains have been identified: (i) quasi-static, where the ceramic fails due to the outward propagation of a compression damage front, (ii) intermediate velocity, where an outward propagating compression damage front is accompanied by an inward propagating tensile (or spallation) front caused by the reflection of the elastic wave from the outer surface and (iii) high velocity, wherein plastic deformation initiates at the inner surface of the shell followed by spalling within a tensile damage front when the elastic wave reflects from the outer surface. Consistent with experimental observations, the cavity pressure is sensitive to the grain size under quasi-static conditions but relatively insensitive under dynamic loadings.     

U71Mn钢轨气压焊焊接接头滚动磨损与损伤性能研究

研究了U71Mn钢轨气压焊焊接接头上各区域的组织与性能,并利用MMS-2A轮轨滚动磨损与接触疲劳试验机对焊接接头材料进行试验,分析了各区域的磨损与损伤特性. 结果表明:焊接接头组织为珠光体,但晶粒大小及渗碳体形态和大小存在差异. 焊缝中珠光体晶粒较小,渗碳体呈细小片层状及细小颗粒状,因此硬度高且塑性变形能力强. 在1×105和2×105循环次数时耐磨性优于母材,在3×105循环次数时,焊缝磨损量大于母材磨损量,且焊缝表面损伤较母材严重. 在焊缝两侧各有1个区域(软化区),组织为粒状珠光体和少量片层状珠光体,颗粒大小和片层厚度不均匀,硬度较小,磨损量较大,塑性变形层较厚,表面损伤最严重.      

A computer simulation of the tension test

A dynamic finite-difference computer program is used to calculate the quasi-static necking deformation of a round tensile bar to 71 per cent reduction in area. Finite strain and rotation are accounted for. We modelled the behavior of A-533 Grade B Class 1 nuclear-pressure-vessel steel as elastic work-hardening plastic material, using J₂-flow theory and a flow curve obtained from a simple tensile test. Up to the time of fracture, computed results of neck radius vs load and elongation, load vs elongation, and neck profile vs neck radius compare favorably with experimental results. We present the macroscopic stress and strain state at fracture and compare these results with those of Bridgman and other calculators. Our calculated neck stress shows monotonically decreasing stress in the radial direction and does not show the sharp stress peaks on the axis or the rounder stress peaks off the axis that these earlier calculations show. We find considerable differences from the Bridgman solution. An iterative computer method is introduced to allow correction of simple tension-test data to a universal flow-stress curve valid for large strain.
