Twinning, dislocation motions and microstructural changes are discussed. Miniaturized wiredrawing simulation is realized to mimic realistic three-dimensional drawing process of Mg and Mg alloys, where a conical and tapered die is placed and the wire is introduced in the die by applying velocity at both ends of the wire. The interatomic interaction by embedded atom method (EAM) for pure Mg is used, partly modifying in order to represent a sufficient lubrication between wire and die. For single-crystal, simulations changing crystal orientation for drawing direction are performed. For polycrystal, grain size and wire diameter are changed and compared. In single crystal models, a twinning having the same orientation occurs during drawing, except for the case dominated by slips on basal planes. In polycrystal simulations, the results show that plastic deformation of Mg wire consists of three atomistic mechanisms: (1) grain boundary sliding, (2) twinning, and (3) dislocation slip on basal plane. The occurrence of these behaviors strongly depends on grain sizes and a combination of the mechanism could be summarized for grain diameter between 2–40 nm. It is also found that a microstructure showing a typical texture is obtained for polycrystal models like that experimentally observed in drawn Mg wires. These analyses are successfully conducted by helpful post-analyses for MD such as polyhedral-template-matching (PTM) method and dislocation extraction algorithm (DXA), as well as newly-introduced Neo-Eulerian mapping (NEmap).</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics A-Solids","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 105660"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143759746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analytical model was developed to predict the effective collapse stress of sandwich-structured honeycombs (SSHC) under in-plane uniaxial, biaxial and shear loading. The collapse of SSHCs was shown to occur by three competing mechanisms: core shear, face yielding and elastic buckling. Collapse mechanism maps were constructed showing dominance of core shear and face yielding collapse for metallic SSHCs with practical design parameters, while elastic buckling was only observed for polymeric SSHCs. The analytical predictions of the collapse load and dominant mechanism were found in good agreement with those obtained from detailed finite element calculations for a range of geometrical and material parameters. Moreover, the analytical model was used to determine optimal architectural parameters that maximize the collapse stress for a range of relative densities, concluding that slender sandwich walls with relatively thick faces yield optimal performance for SSHCs with weak cores and low relative densities (<10 %). Lastly, it was found that SSHCs attain higher collapse stresses by up to 600 % for certain designs compared to conventional monolithic honeycombs of equal relative density.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics A-Solids","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 105648"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143746659","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, the hard foreign objects and air cannon were used to conduct a high-speed impact test on the BMI composite laminate. The effect of impactor diameter, impact velocity, and impact angle on impact damage size and microscopic damage mechanism was investigated; respectively, the results show that damage width and length increase with the growth of impact velocity and impactor size, the impact velocity has a greater impact on damage depth, and various impact angles will significantly change the damage morphology. After impact, the step-by-step method was used to analyze the fatigue strength of composite laminates with impact damage; it was found the depth of impact damage has the biggest impact on the fatigue strength. Based on conclusions of the fatigue test, a prediction model was proposed to predict the fatigue strength of composite laminate with the impact damages; the results show that prediction results are within 1.5 times of the error band.

This is attempted via a numerical study (including specimen design) to investigate the sensitivity of a residual function constructed based on full-field displacement data to the constitutive model parameters. Overall, the sensitivity of the residual function to the parameters is low and this is expected to make the extraction of the parameters to be sensitive to measurement noise. Nonetheless, when the yield surface evolves self-similarly with plastic strain, the calculations show that the multi-axial yield strength can be predicted to a high level of accuracy. Remarkably, such predictions do not require a complex 3D specimen geometry but can also be made to the same level of fidelity using relatively simple notched plane stress or axisymmetric specimens. However, the ability to predict a non self-similarly evolving yield surface is much more limited for all types of specimens. Equally, if the wrong form of the constitutive model is assumed the magnitude of the residual function is shown not to be a good indicator of the poor choice of the constitutive model. We speculate that for the relatively low order constitutive models explored here, adding more displacements data (e.g. 3D data versus 2D data) results in minimal information gain. Rather, additional independent data such as elastic strain measurements might alleviate some of the issues associated with parameter extraction highlighted in the study.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50483,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Mechanics A-Solids","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 105652"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-03-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143746655","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
