Abstract
It is experimentally difficult to ascertain the role of ferrite/cementite interface in the impact properties and structural evolution of pearlitic steel. In this paper, we propose a solution based on molecular dynamics simulations of planar shocks of pearlitic steel. It is found that the ferrite/cementite interface reflects the part of a shock wave and facilitates the nucleation of voids and dislocations. Consequently, the disturbance and plastic wave details are added to free surface velocity−time profiles. The evolution of voids contributes to the subsequent occurrence of spallation at interface, generating a power law relationship between the tensile strain rate and spall strength with an exponent of 2.7, which differs from that of 4.0 as spallation happens in polycrystalline ferrite regions.
期刊介绍:
Mechanics of Materials is a forum for original scientific research on the flow, fracture, and general constitutive behavior of geophysical, geotechnical and technological materials, with balanced coverage of advanced technological and natural materials, with balanced coverage of theoretical, experimental, and field investigations. Of special concern are macroscopic predictions based on microscopic models, identification of microscopic structures from limited overall macroscopic data, experimental and field results that lead to fundamental understanding of the behavior of materials, and coordinated experimental and analytical investigations that culminate in theories with predictive quality.
