Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of metal material performance testing devices, and in particular to a porous metal plate sample that can achieve different stress states. Background Technology

[0002] Metal sheets possess excellent properties and are therefore widely used in various fields, such as aerospace, marine engineering, and bioengineering. In practical applications, metal sheets are subjected to various stress states, which affect deformation and damage, ultimately leading to failure. Therefore, researching how to control stress changes in metal sheets and studying the impact of different stress states on their mechanical properties is of great practical significance for predicting fracture trajectories and preventing major safety accidents. Under load, damage to metal sheets accumulates continuously; cracks first nucleate and then propagate, eventually leading to failure. Stress triaxiality is crucial for the nucleation and growth of micropores. By designing sheets of different shapes and controlling the stress triaxiality at the fracture location, it is possible to study the damage and fracture characteristics of sheets under different stress states, providing a scientific basis for material reliability design and damage prevention.

[0003] Currently, most studies on the damage and fracture characteristics of sheet metal under different stress states use defect-free sheet metal. In actual engineering activities, the damage caused by loads on sheet metal accumulates continuously, especially defects within the strain range. The influence of stress triaxiality on the deformation and failure of materials is mainly studied through specimens such as uniaxial tension and plane shear. However, single tension or shear states are relatively rare in actual working conditions, and simple stress states lack guidance for practical engineering applications. In actual working conditions, metal sheet metal is often under complex stress states such as tension and shear combinations. It is necessary to design a sheet metal specimen that can realize different stress states within the strain range with defects to meet measurement needs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the defects in the prior art and provide a porous metal plate sample that can achieve different stress states. By adjusting the deflection distance, the stress triaxiality of the sample fracture position can be controlled, thereby achieving material failure fracture under controllable stress state.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is achieved as follows: A perforated metal plate specimen for achieving different stress states includes a plate body. Two centrally symmetrical notches penetrating the thickness direction of the specimen are formed on opposite sides of the plate body. Each notch includes two parallel transverse notches pointing towards the center of symmetry. The ends of the two transverse notches near the center of symmetry are connected by rounded corners to two opposing convex semicircular notches. The two semicircular notches are vertically oriented. The area between the two semicircular notches is a shear region. A circular hole penetrating the plate body is provided at the center of the shear region. The transverse distance between the centers of the two semicircular notches is a deflection distance d. By adjusting the deflection distance d, the stress state of the metal plate specimen can be controlled.

[0006] When this invention is in operation, it uses a clamp to hold the plate body at both ends of two opposite short sides, and changes the lateral distance to achieve triaxial stress control at the fracture position of the plate sample, thereby controlling the stress state.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a metal plate sample without holes to create a combined stress field of pure shear and tensile shear, and then studies the stress distribution law of a metal plate sample with holes by adding defects and holes; the plate specimen structure of this utility model is simple, easy to process and manufacture, and suitable for macroscopic and microscopic mechanical experiments; the deflection distance of the tensile shear specimen of this utility model has an approximately linear relationship with the stress triaxiality, and the stress triaxiality value at the corresponding deflection angle can be calculated by linear interpolation.

[0008] Furthermore, the center of the circular hole coincides with the center of symmetry, and the intersection of the vertical center line of the plate body and the line connecting the centers of the two semi-circular notches passes through the center of symmetry.

[0009] Furthermore, the plate body is a rectangular flat plate, and the four corners at opposite ends along the length of the plate body are clamping ends for clamping the plate body.

[0010] Furthermore, the entrance of the transverse notch is a rectangular opening that cuts vertically into the long side of the board body and extends towards the center of the board body. The transverse notch is connected to the semi-circular notch by a rounded corner transition.

[0011] Furthermore, the minor radius of the fillet between the transverse notch and the semi-circular notch is 2mm, and the major radius of the fillet is 5mm.

[0012] Furthermore, the width of the lateral notch is 3mm.

[0013] Furthermore, the radius of the semi-circular notch is 2mm, and the radius of the circular hole in the shearing region is 0.5mm.

[0046] The simulation process is as follows:

[0047] (I) Constructing the Finite Element Model

[0048] The finite element model is a three-dimensional solid model, including a specimen plate with a length of 50 mm, a width of 36 mm, and a thickness of 1 mm. Eight-node reduced integral solid elements (C3D8R) are used, with a mesh size of 1 mm for the fixed and non-tensioned parts. Since the primary focus is on observing the stress distribution in the expected fracture region, the mesh for this region is refined. The mesh size is 0.2 mm in the central region of the specimen, and also 0.2 mm in the thickness direction.

[0049] (2) Material parameters and boundary conditions

[0050] The specimen plate is defined as an elastic material, specifically 316L stainless steel, with a density of 7.9 g / mm³, a Young's modulus of 16284 Pa, and a Poisson's ratio of 0.3. The boundary conditions are as follows: one end of the specimen plate is fixed, and a displacement boundary condition is applied to the other end. The forces acting on the end with the displacement boundary condition are coupled to a single point.

[0051] (3) Analysis of simulation results

[0052] Stress triaxiality is defined as the ratio of hydrostatic pressure to Mises equivalent stress:

[0053]

[0054] Where, σ m For hydrostatic pressure, σ e The stress is the Mises equivalent stress, and σ1, σ2, and σ3 are the first, second, and third principal stresses, respectively.

[0055] The stress triaxiality contour plot of a metal sheet specimen without holes is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, when the deflection distance d is 2 mm, the stress triaxiality of the sample is around 0, indicating a pure shear state; when the deflection distance d is -1 mm or -3 mm, the stress triaxiality of the sample is around 0.1 and 0.15, indicating a combined tension and shear state; a stress triaxiality value greater than 0.33 indicates a uniaxial tension state, at which point the plate is not subjected to shear stress.

[0056] The stress triaxiality contour plot of a metal plate specimen with holes is shown below. Figure 5 As shown, when the deflection distance d is 2 mm, the stress triaxiality of the sample is around 0, indicating a pure shear state; when the deflection distance d is -1 mm and -3 mm, the stress triaxiality of the sample is around 0.1 and 0.15, indicating a combined tension and shear state. The experiment revealed that the stress triaxiality distribution of the perforated metal sheet sample of this invention exhibits the same distribution pattern as that of the non-perforated metal sheet sample, proving that the perforated metal sheet of this invention can meet the measurement needs of different stress states.
