What are the suitable criteria to determine if the crack may propagate or remain arrested, the crack growth rate and the crack path ? 13 Classes of material behaviour : relevant variables Linear elastic behaviour: linear elastic fracture mechanics (K) Nonlinear behavior: non-linear fracture mechanics Hypoelasticity : Hutchinson Rice & Rosengren, (J) Ideally plastic material : Irwin, Dugdale, Barrenblatt etc. Time dependent material behaviours: viscoelasticity, viscoplasticity (C*) Complex non linear material behaviours : Various local and non local approaches of failure, J. Besson, A. Pineau, G. Rousselier, A. Needleman, Tvergaard , S. Pommier etc. 14 Classes of fracture mechanisms : criteria • • • • • • • Brittle fracture Ductile fracture Dynamic fracture Fatigue crack growth Creep crack growth Crack growth by corrosion, oxydation, ageing Coupling between damage mechanisms 15 Mechanisms acting at very different scales of time and space, an assumption of scales separation • • • • Atomic scale (surface oxydation, ageing, …) Microstructural scale (grain boundary corrosion, creep, oxydation, persistent slip band in fatigue etc… ) Plastic zone scale or damaged zone (material hardening or softening, continuum damage, ductile damage...) Scale of the structure (wave propagation …) Atomic cohesion energy 10 J/m2 Brittle fracture energy 10 000 J/m2 16 Classes of relevant assumptions : application of criteria Long cracks (2D problem, planar crack with a straight crack) Curved cracks, branched cracks, merging cracks (3D problem, nonplanar cracks, curved crack fronts) Short cracks (3D problem, influence of free surfaces, scale and gradients effects) Other discontinuities and singularities: • Interfaces / free surfaces, • Contact front in partial slip conditions, • acute angle ending on a edge, 17 Griffith’ theory Threshold for unsteady crack growth (brittle or ductile) Relevant variable : energy release rate G Criteria : An unsteady crack growth occurs if the cohesion energy released by the structure because of the creation of new cracked surfaces reaches the energy required to create these new cracked surfaces G = Gc Data : critical energy release rate Gc Griffith’ theory Wext : work of external forces DU elastic : variation of the elastic energy of the structure DU surface: variation of the surface energy of the structure DU DU elastic DU surface Wext DU surface 2 da Wext DU elastic G 2 Criteria : where DU elastic Wext G da 19 Evolution by Bui, Erlacher & Son dU Wext Q where TdS Q 0 dU dF TdS SdT in isothermal conditions dT 0 TdS Q dF Wext 0 dFvolume dFsurface Wext 0 G Gc da 0 where Free energy instead of internal energy Isothermal conditions instead of adiabatic Second principle Gc DFsurface 2 da DFvolume Wext G da 20 J Integral (Rice) DFvolume Wext G da Eschelby tensor : energy density J integral , (Rice’s integral if q is coplanar) q vector: the crack front motion 21 J contour integral If the crack faces are free surfaces (no friction, no fluid pressure …), y If volume forces can be neglected (inertia, electric field...) x Then the J integral is shown to be independent of the choice of the selected integration contour 𝐺 = 𝐽= Γ 𝜑𝑓𝑟𝑒𝑒 𝑒𝑛𝑒𝑟𝑔𝑦 𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝑑𝑦 − 𝜎𝑛. 𝜕𝑢 𝜕𝑥 22 Applications C.
