【讲座信息】

  在断裂的力学与物理领域中存在两个基本问题：一、材料微观结构特征与其抵抗裂纹扩展的能力之间存在怎样的关系？二、材料微观结构特征与断裂表面的粗糙度之间存在怎样的关系？而由此可以提出另外一个问题：材料抵抗裂纹扩展的能力和断裂表面粗糙度之间是否存在对应关系？1984年，Mandelbrot及其同事发现断裂表面表现出自仿射、类分形的特征。基于这一观测结果以及图像分析的进展，物理学界进行了大量对断裂表面粗糙度的定量表征工作，试图将分形维数与抵抗裂纹扩展能力联系起来。尽管这一尝试在当时没有成功，但从它出发可以提出一个基本问题，即断裂表面粗糙度的何种度量（如果存在的话）可以与材料抵抗裂纹扩展能力建立联系。基于对延性断裂问题的模拟，主讲人Needleman教授提出了一种断裂表面粗糙度的统计度量，该度量可以与抵抗裂纹扩展能力建立定量关系，并且也可以与可测、可控的微观结构特征建立联系。模拟中考虑了两种理想化的微观结构：一种涉及穿过分布式第二相颗粒的裂纹扩展，另一种涉及沿晶界的裂纹扩展。最后将讨论通过材料微观结构设计来提高其抵抗裂纹扩展的能力。

Two fundamental questions in the mechanics and physics of fracture are: (i) What is the relation between observable features of a material's microstructure and its resistance to crack growth? and (ii) What is the relation between observable features of a material's microstructure and the roughness of the fracture surface? An obvious corollary question is: What is the relation, if any, between a material's crack growth resistance and the roughness of the corresponding fracture surface? In 1984, Mandelbrot and co-workers showed that fracture surfaces exhibit self-affine, fractal-like scaling properties. This observation, together with advances in image analysis, precipitated a significant body of work in the physics community on the quantitative characterization of fracture surface roughness with the aim of relating the fractal dimension to crack growth resistance. While this effort was not successful, it raised the question of what measure, if any, of fracture surface roughness can be related to crack growth resistance. I will describe work on modeling ductile fracture that reveals a measure of the statistics of fracture surface roughness that can be quantitatively related to crack growth resistance and how this quantity relates to a measurable and (hopefully) controllable microstructural feature. Simulation results for two idealized microstructures will be discussed: one microstructure involves crack growth through a distribution of second phase particles and the other involves crack growth along grain boundaries. The implications for designing material microstructures with improved crack growth resistance will be discussed.
