Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of experimental techniques for the dynamic mechanical behavior of materials, and particularly to a method for shear instability criterion of heterogeneous materials. Background Art

[0002] Shear band is a common failure mode of materials under dynamic loading. During this process, the material undergoes extremely severe deformation, and a large amount of heat generated by plastic deformation is concentrated in a narrow area with a width of only about dozens of micrometers, showing highly localized characteristics. The failure criterion of materials has always been a practical issue that has received key attention in various fields. However, the shear band phenomenon is extremely complex, covering multiple rate processes and involving force-heat coupling, which undoubtedly poses a huge challenge to the accurate judgment of material failure. For those new materials with high performance, due to the lack of corresponding shear instability criteria, their practical applications have been greatly restricted. Therefore, in-depth research and obtaining the shear instability criterion of materials are of great significance for promoting the development of new materials.

[0003] The traditional shear instability criterion was proposed by Academician Bai Yilong in 1982. At that time, the development degree of the field of material science was limited, and relevant research and practice mainly focused on relatively single material systems. Under this background, this criterion was mainly applicable to homogeneous crystalline metal materials. The internal structure of such materials is uniform, and the atomic arrangement is regular and orderly, enabling the criterion established based on its characteristics to relatively accurately describe and predict the occurrence of shear instability of materials under specific conditions. However, as time goes by, continuous breakthroughs have been made in the field of materials science. To meet the increasingly stringent requirements of modern engineering for material properties, researchers have explored an effective method to improve material properties by adding reinforcing particles to the metal matrix. In this composite material system, there are obvious differences in the physical properties and mechanical behaviors between the reinforcing particles and the metal matrix. When the material is deformed under force, due to the poor deformation coordination between the particles and the matrix, extremely serious non-uniform effects will occur. The strain states in the region around the particles and the matrix far from the particles are completely different, and the strain gap between the two is extremely large, which in turn leads to significant strain gradient characteristics in the macroscopic deformation process of the material. This complex deformation behavior makes the shear instability criterion originally constructed based on the characteristics of homogeneous materials difficult to accurately depict the shear instability phenomenon of such composite materials and has seriously failed to meet the requirements of practical engineering applications.

[0004] In current engineering practices, considering the mechanical responses of materials under complex dynamic loads, most existing materials adopt the JC dynamic constitutive form to describe their mechanical behaviors. The JC dynamic constitutive model comprehensively considers various factors such as the strain rate effect, temperature effect, and stress state of materials, and can accurately reflect the changes in the mechanical properties of materials under actual working conditions. Therefore, if in-depth research can be carried out and a shear instability criterion applicable to various materials can be successfully obtained under JC dynamic constitutive conditions, it will not only fill the key gaps in the current material property evaluation system, provide a more accurate and reliable theoretical basis for engineering design and material selection, and help improve the safety and reliability of engineering structures, but also have immeasurable great value in promoting the development of materials science towards higher performance and more complex systems.

[0005] In summary, it is necessary to further innovate the existing technologies. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned background technology, the present invention proposes a method for obtaining a shear instability criterion for heterogeneous materials. Its concept is reasonable, fully considering the influence of non-uniform deformation (strain gradient), and can be widely applied to various materials, and can obtain the shear instability criterion at low cost, efficiently, and accurately.

[0007] To solve the above technical problems, a method for a shear instability criterion for heterogeneous materials provided by the present invention specifically includes the following steps:

[0008] (1) Conduct mechanical property tests on the material under various dynamic conditions to obtain the JC dynamic constitutive relationship of the heterogeneous material as:

[0011] (2) Conduct perturbation analysis on the material based on the JC dynamic constitutive relationship to obtain the shear instability criterion of the material; the specific process is as follows:

[0021] ;

[0022] (2.4)Differentiate the JC constitutive relation in the step (1):

[0023] ;

[0024] where,

[0025] ;

[0026] where, d is the differential operator, are the work - hardening, strain - rate hardening and thermal - softening exponents respectively in sequence, is the characteristic stress, is the current strain rate;

[0027] (2.5) Substitute the differential relation into step (2.3) to obtain a homogeneous system of equations:

[0028] ;

[0029] (2.6) Using the condition for non - zero solutions, i.e., the coefficient determinant equals 0, obtain the spectral equation:

[0030] ;

[0031] If there exists a solution greater than 0, it indicates that instability may exist, and obtain the shear instability criterion for the material:

[0032] ;

[0033] (3) Substitute the JC dynamic constitutive parameters in the JC dynamic constitutive relation of the heterogeneous material into the shear instability criterion to obtain the critical strain of the material's shear instability.

[0034] The method for the shear instability criterion of heterogeneous materials, wherein the specific process of step (3) is: write a calculation program according to the result of the initial criterion obtained in step (2.6), substitute the JC constitutive parameters of the material, and start from strain 0, with a step size of 0.01, and iteratively calculate the critical instability strain that satisfies the criterion.

[0035] The method for the shear instability criterion of heterogeneous materials, wherein the iterative calculation of the critical instability strain that satisfies the criterion specifically simulates the mechanical behavior of the material under specific conditions according to the JC constitutive model, and calculates the criterion value for each cycle. When the criterion meets the instability condition, stop the calculation and output the critical strain; the loop calculation process is as follows:

[0036] (3.01) Strain calculation

[0037] Divide the current loop number by 100 as the strain value for this cycle;

[0038] (3.02) Stress calculation

[0039] Calculate the current stress value according to the JC constitutive model;

[0051] Calculate the criterion value based on the above calculation results;

[0052] (3.09) Instability judgment

[0053] Judge whether the current criterion value is greater than 1. If it is greater than 1, it is considered that the instability condition is satisfied and the loop is exited;

[0054] (3.10) Result output

[0055] After the loop ends, divide the current loop count by 100 and output it as the critical strain.

[0056] Adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
