Conventional plastic energy dissipation theory indicates that ductile vicinity toughens the interface by absorbing plastic deformation energy. However, the microstructure in the vicinity directly affects local plastic deformability and fracture behaviour, implying a more complicated toughening mechanism. In this study, the effect of microstructure and hardness on fracture behaviour of Fe/Ni interface was investigated. By experimental approach, interfaces with and without dynamic recrystallization (DRX) were fabricated by controlling the bonding conditions. It showed that compression-induced plastic deformation is the main source of the hardening behaviour in the vicinity. Moreover, the interfaces with hardened DRX vicinities exhibited improved fracture toughness, which is inconsistent with the plastic energy dissipation theory. To clarify this observation, the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) approach was employed to distinguish the effects of plastic deformation and interfacial microstructure. The result showed that although higher plastic deformability in the vicinity absorbs more dissipated plastic energy, severe stress concentration at the interface leads to early fracture and poor toughness. On the other hand, the interfacial hardened DRXed grains disperse interfacial stress distribution and provide potential sub-crack sites. A combined result of uniform plastic deformation and fracture energy dissipation is responsible for the improved toughness at interfaces with DRXed grains.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plasticity","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 104107"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0749641924002341/pdfft?md5=4bc3d8f839280583f92c5e9683f9c753&pid=1-s2.0-S0749641924002341-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142136410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The intrinsic viscosity is represented by the viscous network, which is governed by time-dependent equations to account for the viscous overstress. The influence of fillers is captured through the concept of strain amplification, applied to the two networks within the rubber matrix. The effectiveness of the model in capturing the biaxial behavior of filled rubber is evaluated by comparing its outputs with experimental data from a filled rubber system.

Various methods have been employed to quantify these backstresses at the macro-scale. One of these approaches, which has received relatively little attention, is the stress dip test. The strain rate observed during a load dip and hold, after previous plastic deformation, can be positive or negative, depending upon the level at which the load is held, and the relative magnitudes of competing friction and backstresses. The most direct interpretation of previously reported tests indicates a surprisingly high level of backstress in common materials, and which is generally also higher than the value extracted from an unload-reload test. In this paper, stress dip tests are performed on pure polycrystalline tantalum, along with unload-reload tests. A plateau is seen in the strain rate observed during the stress dip test, which has not been previously reported. If the backstress is interpreted to correspond with the stress level associated with the middle point of the plateau, in line with the friction/backstress model of the unload-reload test, the resulting backstress obtained from both tests are very similar. A novel crystal plasticity model, incorporating backstress, reversible dislocations and non-Schmid effects, is used to help justify this new approach. The model predicts the observed plateau in strain rate, and provides a slip-level interpretation of the macroscopically observed backstress. The slip-level backstress (when considered as a fraction of the stress prior to the dip) is reasonably similar to the values interpreted from the dip test experiment. The ∼23% lower value in the simulation may be due to the lack of certain aspects of the actual physics in the model.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":340,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Plasticity","volume":"181 ","pages":"Article 104089"},"PeriodicalIF":9.4,"publicationDate":"2024-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142048845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
