结果表明,自制高温压缩蠕变测试仪实现了由室温到250℃范围内、不同载荷作用下材料长期压缩蠕变性能测试的自动化操作;PTFE 在压缩蠕变过程中并不表现出黏性流动形变,但当其表现出与一般材料相同的典型蠕变行为时,推迟时间要比其它条件下大许多,当发生蠕变断裂时推迟时间将提高近一个数量级。
所建立的七元件蠕变模型能全面地反映PTFE 的压缩蠕变行为,可预测PTFE 的长时力学行为、使用寿命以及疲劳与失效等。
蠕变拟合曲线与测试数据吻合良好,拟合精度高。

The results show that the self-made high-temperature compression creep tester realizes the automatic operation of the long-term compression creep performance test of materials under different loads from room temperature to 250℃. PTFE does not exhibit viscous flow deformation during compression and creep ,but when it exhibits the same typical creep behavior as general materials ,the delay time is much longer than under other conditions ,and when creep rupture occurs ,the delay time increases by nearly one order of magnitude. The established seven-element creep model can fully reflect the compression creep behavior of PTFE ,and can predict the long-term mechanical behavior ,service life ,fatigue ,and failure of PTFE. The creep fitting curve is in good agreement with the test data ,and the fitting accuracy is high.Keywords :polytetrafluoroethylene ;composite ;compressive creep ;testing ;characterization几乎所有材料都会发生蠕变,而塑料材料特别显著,在常温下就会有明显的蠕变。
Characterization MethodIntroductionCharacterization method refers to the process of determining and analyzing the properties, qualities, and features of a particular object or system. It plays a crucial role in various fields, including materials science, chemistry, biology, and engineering. By employing appropriate characterization techniques, researchers can gain valuable insights into the structure, composition, behavior, and performance of different materials and systems. This article aims to provide an overview of different characterization methods commonly used inscientific research.Types of Characterization MethodsCharacterization methods can be broadly categorized into two types: physical characterization methods and chemical characterization methods.1. Physical Characterization MethodsPhysical characterization methods focus on examining the physical properties and behavior of materials. Some commonly used physical characterization techniques include:•Microscopy: Microscopy techniques such as optical microscopy, electron microscopy (scanning electron microscopy (SEM) andtransmission electron microscopy (TEM)), atomic force microscopy(AFM), and scanning probe microscopy (SPM) enable researchers tovisualize and study the microstructure of materials at differentscales.•Spectroscopy: Spectroscopic techniques involve the interaction of materials with electromagnetic radiation to analyze theircomposition and structure. Examples include infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), nuclear magneticresonance spectroscopy (NMR), and mass spectrometry.•X-ray Diffraction: X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful technique for determining the crystal structure of materials byanalyzing the diffraction patterns produced when X-rays interactwith a sample. It provides information about crystal phaseidentification, lattice parameters, crystallite size, textureanalysis, etc.•Thermal Analysis: Thermal analysis techniques such asdifferential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetricanalysis (TGA) measure changes in material properties as afunction of temperature. These methods help in understanding phase transitions, thermal stability, decomposition behavior, and otherthermal properties of materials.•Mechanical Testing: Mechanical testing methods, including tensile testing, compression testing, hardness testing, and impact testing, evaluate the mechanical properties of materials such as strength,elasticity, hardness, toughness, and fatigue resistance.2. Chemical Characterization MethodsChemical characterization methods focus on identifying and analyzing the chemical composition of materials. Some commonly used chemical characterization techniques include:•Chromatography: Chromatographic techniques such as gaschromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separate and analyze thecomponents of a mixture based on their differential affinities fora stationary phase and a mobile phase.•Mass Spectrometry: Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique that ionizes molecules and measures their mass-to-charge ratio. Itprovides information about the molecular weight, structure,composition, and fragmentation pattern of compounds.•Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy detects the magnetic properties of atomic nuclei todetermine molecular structures. It is widely used for structuralelucidation and identification of organic compounds.•Electrochemical Analysis: Electrochemical techniques such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS), and potentiostatic/galvanostatic measurements investigatethe electrochemical behavior and properties of materials invarious environments.Application AreasCharacterization methods find applications in numerous scientific disciplines and industries. Some notable application areas include:1.Materials Science: Characterization methods play a vital role instudying the structure-property relationships of materials. Theyare used to analyze material composition, crystal structuredetermination, defect analysis, surface morphology examination,and mechanical property evaluation.2.Chemistry: Chemical characterization techniques are extensivelyemployed in organic and inorganic chemistry for compoundidentification, purity analysis, reaction monitoring, andstructure elucidation.3.Biology: Characterization methods help biologists understand thestructure and function of biological molecules such as proteins,nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. Techniques like X-raycrystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry aid instudying biomolecular structures and interactions.4.Pharmaceuticals: Characterization methods are crucial in drugdevelopment and quality control processes. They ensure the purity, stability, and efficacy of pharmaceutical compounds by analyzingtheir chemical composition, crystallinity, dissolution behavior,and formulation characteristics.5.Environmental Science: Characterization methods are used toanalyze pollutants in air, water, soil samples to assessenvironmental quality. Techniques like gas chromatography-massspectrometry (GC-MS), atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) help identify and quantify contaminants.ConclusionCharacterization methods provide valuable insights into the properties, composition, behavior, and performance of materials and systems across various scientific disciplines. By employing a combination of physical and chemical characterization techniques, researchers can gain a comprehensive understanding of their samples.

American character and habits[Abstract]Cultural differences, the first in customs. Culture shock is due to customs difference. Therefore, the United States to study cultural adaptation, the first to understand and adapt to American customs. Romans, can adapt to American culture, but also on various occasions that allow them to avoid making inappropriate moves, let you feel down or embarrassed. Arriving in the United States, nervous excitement is inevitable, and will be very excited; you hope to be able to quickly melt into American society. Asking someone else more for you to solve cultural barriers and see more and hear more can open imports to independent proactive attitude to overcome initial challenges. Make foreign friends, broaden their horizons, and improve English proficiency. The more opportunities to solve problems independently, English is also more rapid progress. Rights and obligations of the United States is a clear, customer-oriented society, and you try to express your displeasure, and correct their mistakes.[Key Words]American character; Habits; Get along with AmericanEvery nation has its own unique personality; people often talk about British modesty, French romance, Japanese Woman's supple, etc. Similarly, the American character has its distinctive features.Americans are generally cheerful, sociable, informal etiquette. The first meeting is not necessarily shake hands, sometimes just smile, and say "Hi" or "Hello" is even polite. Americans generally shake hands with women gently. In farewell, they just waved to you or said "goodbye", "See you tomorrow." But if others bow to them, they also use the appropriate etiquette, such as shaking hands, nodding, hugging, and salute and so on. When you first make an American friend, he will tell be talking with you even forever. More glances to strangers with no intention when you walk in the street, he might smiling nod to you, or call out "hello"; if your car broke down on the road, the enthusiastic people help you repair; if you got lost in the streets, and people were eager to help you.Americans do things fast-paced make visitors feel puzzled, and the first impression is probably all of them are Americans rush. It becomes very impatient even if they are blocking a moment, At first, you might think this is unfriendly to you. The bus drivers urge you; shop assistant hurried to treat you; Y ou buy something or go out to eat, no one told you joking greeting. Do not think that Americans are in such a hurry to you expressed unfriendly. Typically, outside the large cities have slower paceof life; in fact, other countries also have same phenomenon.They find out you were a stranger, most will be friendly and try to help you. If you need help or would like to ask what the problem is, you may find kind man, and say to him: "I was out of town, can you help me?"At this point, most people would stop and give you a smile pointing way or reply to your question. But you have to let them know you need help, otherwise they will probably come from your side. Occasionally you will encounter a hurry to act them too busy or can not help you. In such circumstances, you do not be discouraged, just get somebody else. Most Americans are willing to help foreign visitors.Americans do not like to be subordinated to others when dealing with each other and do not like people too polite to compliment yourself. Americans are worried about the entry of others deemed unapproachable been isolated which mean loneliness campaign failed to politicians.Therefore, Americans make friends and hope to give people a good impression, but can often lack the kind of heart-familiar.The second feature of the American character is independent and enterprising. They do not like to depend on others, do not like people dependent on them; develop independently from the urine of Americans struggle; do not rely on their parents. On the street, every morning you can see eleven-year-old boy delivering newspapers door to door regardless of wind and thunder rain.They will come up the social life of great benefits. the results obtained by their own scholarships or work part time earn tuition. They have to leave their parents live on their own when they are in adulthood;Once you get married, they even move about independently, rely on their own ability in the United States. Y oung couples have children and tend completely on their own instead of expecting grandmother or grandmother to take care of grandchildren. However, these independent spirits in the United States tend to become old tragedy.A third characteristic of the American character is pragmatic.They did not like the French like rambling fantasy, like the British did not speak panache to face.They admired the kind of savvy stronger than man. They can solve many things on their own. Most Americans know how to use the machine, repair of electrical equipment, furniture, paint and stucco walls. They believe that doing these menial jobs in life is granted. On the contrary, those nerds, fake gentleman, talkative short lines will be made fun of.American way of thinking has a big difference from which we had. English is this expression: 1) Like to be different; 2) Agree to disagree; 3) Everything is above board."Disabled priority, ladies first, the elderly priority, children first" is the American habit. Because they are vulnerable, people deserve health care. Americans do things all in regulations. Therefore, the queue becomes their established habits. Y ou have to wait until he or she calls you when it's your turn, and you can cross the yellow line toreceive services. Otherwise you will be criticized.Americans dressed very casually. They usually wear very little when the weather is hot, and a windbreaker or denim fabric is wrapped when it is cold. Only in formal occasion wear suits, skirts and other more formal clothes.Therefore, important events should pay attention to the dress code on the invitation. If you are unsure clothing requirements, they may first ask the other participants.Americans love to develop a healthy habit. Americans would say when you are walking on the streets in the United States for a week, and your shoes do not rub. Y ou go to school, and feel thirsty, you can drink tap water. After eating, the customer will consciously take home in doggy bags. And try not to make noise when eat dinner. No littering, spitting chaos.Americans use body potential language than we do. Shrug and face with unhappy expression expresses surprise and shrugging and smiling means sure. Thumb and forefinger form the number "6", which means "consent." Americans speak, move the body all the time, but without losing the sense of humor, you have to pay attention. Speech, the body can not give back, not too far away from the speaker should face each other. Thumb and index finger rubbing beep expresses encouragement, support, or having a new idea. Hands crossed together or on the waist pledge to fight pose. A palm facing up to greet people coming back and forth movement represents.With American friends shaking hands should be hard not too small, otherwise there is impolite suspected. The Americans are language-rich, sometimes hand catch to your shoulders, which means that affirmation and encouragement. Chinese people are more conservative character and difficult to greet strangers, but a greeting after he thought had friendship with each other. As everyone knows, the greetings and friendship between Americans is nothing. Americans understand this custom, on the one hand to learn their culture greetings, good morning, good afternoon, good night, thank you, I'm sorry all day. We must also recognize that the United States is owned greetings and friendship.Generally speaking, Americans do not receive gifts. Some receiving gifts often seem somewhat embarrassed. But birthdays, weddings or patient visits, gifts or inevitable.In addition, the Americans believe that the singular is auspicious. Sometimes only get three pears not feel happy, it is unlike the Chinese people pay attention to pairs. Americans received a gift, be sure to immediately open----at the front of the giver's face -----appreciate gift or sample and immediately thanks to the giver.In the United States, if you want to visit, you must first make a call the appointment. If the owner please resumes your seat, you not sit down immediately in order to express polite, but will make the owner feel uneasy, thinking chair unclean or other inconveniences. When a guest is not free to watch the master table of the wordof paper or read files. Do not fondle indoor antique curios, not to ask the price of indoor appliances.Do not smoke. If you want to smoke, you should first ask here whether they mind if the owner initiative to invite you to smoke, even if they have a smoke, has to accept the owner's smoke, rather than reject each other and suck their own. Otherwise, the owner will think that you are looking down on him and feel very happy.Do not leave immediately after a meal and the owner should have a chat for a while, and then leave. If it is someone's home to go to a couple of guests, leave to stand by his wife first. In more formal banquet, if more guests, you should wait a bit high elderly guests or important ladies first left after he will leave. If guests need something to go ahead, the owner should ask forgiveness before leaving. If you are not familiar with the owner, then a stranger after a call to the owner should be thanked, or write a "thank you" sent to the owner of the short Cambodia, so that the more comprehensive the courtesy.More open exchanges between American men and women. Dating men and women sometimes do not have other meanings, does not mean that will become a special partner. Therefore, if you want to meet someone to talk or watch movies, eat, in order to enhance mutual friendship and spend a pleasant time, as proposed initiative generous, both men and women can take the initiative to offer. Of course, there are some rules of dating American men and women, especially in the beginning stages. If you want to invite an American girl eating alone, please be sure to point the different meanings lunch and dinner.In general, the more casual lunch, easily accepted; dinner more seriously, after a meal may be further developed. So the first invitation, it is best to eat lunch as easily. Chinese female students as male students invited by the United States, also pay attention to different lunch and dinner. If you do not want to go to each other's appointments or make you uncomfortable with the move, you can kind but surely declined. In the United States, mutual respect is the basic principles of engagement, but also rights.The United States obey law, human rights in the country. Their values are equal and free. Therefore, marriage depends on the foundation that equality, mutual respect and preservation of privacy. Americans can have their marriage before several heterosexual friends, but after they get married to each other do not want to get involved in each of the opposite sex friends, once found, the divorce was inevitable. According to the U.S. habit, all important social events, banquets or parties held between friends, the couple attended together. I have found that American couples have a double into the right, very loving. However, the American divorce rate is high, which about 60% of the world's highest divorce rate in the country. It was the Americans marriage summarized twenty words: romantic teenager, passionate youth, middle-aged faithful, tragically old age.Of course, the white-collar marriage isrelatively stable.About money, Americans and the Chinese people have different attitude. Americans are generous to themselves, but to others, Americans are surprisingly careful, and don’t want to spend even a penny. On the contrary, the Chinese people liking to save are famous, and often conscious of their spending, but perhaps due to face relationship, a friend has been more generous. Together with the Americans to eat outside, pay each general account, even though they are women is also true.Even if the Americans propose to dinner, but also do not think that he or she is going to treat, and it is often still their pay. The Chinese people "who suggested who pays" habits are very different.In the U.S., it is best not to borrow money,even if you have to, because it is often denied. Of course, a little money can still be borrowed. However, Americans do have the habit of donations; many Americans donated large sums of money each year. This is very different from the Chinese people.Americans are also very pragmatic in terms of money. So they respect labor and remuneration calculation clearly. Friends went out to dinner, which is usually the payment of money;Tipping although the behavior of free evaluation of evidence, but there is the customary one, it is best to ask customs before entry. Generally speaking, tipping is about ten to fifteen percent or so in restaurant.But do not need to eat in the cafeteria to tip, if someone poured tea and inquired diligently demand, then according to the number of discretionary tip. Evening dining tip needed more than during the day. Tipping is an assessment of service quality; some waiters to will show particularly enthusiastic for tips. Remember never to penny tip, when the penny thrown on the table, even though you pay a lot of tips, is likely to be dissatisfied with the waiter misunderstood as their service is a humiliating manner.Unless the service is really bad, never be placed in the tip of any penny. Of course, if you pay by credit card, and the amount will be rounded tips and dining, it is not in this case.Americans see work as part of life. Despite they are wealthy; they have to have their own job. Their work is very professional, work efficiency is high. They think that wasting time is not idle. Working time and leisure time are entirely different. Americans like to talk about "the dignity of work".America's leading CEOs such a class may participate in any physical labor. They will be respected by others rather than look down.Americans work and rest time is very distinct. Business should be completed within the time at work.Americans prefer face to face or on the table in the negotiations finalized.Friday night is the night of friends get together, they can enjoy singing, dancing, drinking, playing games and other recreational activities. On Saturday, they took a family member or three or five friends drove to the outside world to play.Most shops open Monday through Saturday, half past nine or ten o'clock to 5:00pm, or about six. Some of the shops in the mall is open until nine p.m. Sunday will be open from noon until six later.Banking hours are relatively short, mostly Monday to Friday nine o'clock to 3:30 pm, some banks will extend the hours until Friday 6:00 pm Saturday morning. Regardless of companies and business firms, shopping centers, schools, generally there is no lunch break. The students have the habit of taking a nap are more difficult to adapt. Everyday life in the United States, Email has become the most practical, the most common means of communication. Communication between teachers and students in school, class, and usually use it to change jobs. Schools are used Email meeting notice.Major holidays: New Y ear's, Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Presidents' Day (Commemorating U.S. President George Washington and Abraham Lincoln's birthday), National Day (Independence Day), Labor Day, Columbus Day, V eterans Day, Election Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day.Generally they are willing to entertain guests in their own homes, rather than customary dinner in a restaurant.Do not like steamed and braised dishes. Do not like too hot dishes like salt taste, avoid salty taste, slightly to the sweet side as well. Like to drink Coca-Cola, beer, ice, mineral water, whiskey, brandy and so on. Do not like the people in their own meal dish leftover food, which is considered impolite. Like China's Jiangsu, Sichuan, Cantonese cuisine.Do not put blacks in the United States called "Negro", preferably use "Black". Blacks on this call will readily accept. Negro mainly refers to trafficking to the United States from Africa as slaves’blacks. Otherwise, blacks will feel indemnity for his contempt.Understanding the Americans customs need daily accumulation. American universities or student research group often hold communicative activities or picnics, graduate had been invited. But the Chinese students often do not participate actively. In fact, this is not only an understanding of professors and students opportunity, but also a good occasion to understand American customs.If it is possible, and try to attend these activities. If you live in the United States home, there are more opportunities to exchanges with the Americans, and have a deeper understanding of the American way of life, customs, habits and values.In order to save the money, Chinese students often shared with others, many of whom are American roommate. This is also a good way to understand American culture.People often say: "do as the Romans."In fact, it is quite difficult to do. Some people suggested that Chinese students lose their cultural baggage, and adapt to the American culture, social and educational environment. Indeed, the vast majority of Chinese students to the United States, more or less have to do some cultural adjustments to adapt to the United States learning and living environment. But adapting to American culture completely, and give Chinese culture up, and may alsohave to be carefully considered. In fact, more than twenty years of the Chinese student in the United States, it is difficult to give up Chinese culture. The correct attitude is a positive awareness and understanding of Americans and American society, and do not need to give up your culture. Y ou're still a Chinese person, but an understanding of the United States, to know how to live in the United States.[Reference Materials]1、国人的性格(2012-01-04 10:23:22) 美国人尼亚加拉大瀑布夏威夷岛性格杂谈2、美国习俗礼仪:生活礼仪 2008年09月18日新浪教育美国人的生活礼仪3、美国人的生活习惯/syy/yywh/201107/22676.html。

Among the wide variety of surface treatments investi-gated for improving properties of materials,laser-shock processing(LSP)was developed about25years ago in the USA[3,4]with particular application to enhance fatigue properties of fastened joints for aero-nautical applications.Many industrial materials were investigated at this time,such as aluminium or tita-nium alloys,or stainless steels,but because of the lack of reliable pulsed-laser sources(high cadency—high power density)and despite the satisfactory mechanical improvements displayed in aluminium-or titanium-based alloys,no real industrial application was shown to emerge.Since1988,and with the support of auto-motive and aerospace partners,intensive work has been undertaken in France,including phenomenologi-cal and applied studies[5—9].However,some critical processing questions still remain unanswered or need to be highlighted,such as(i)the precise influence of absorptive coatings which can modify very strongly the stress loadings transmitted to the metal by type mismatch impedance effects,(ii)the role played by laser-spot diameters on the stress-wave generation and propagation and on the resulting surface modifications,(iii)the plasticflow limit characterization at very high strain rate and its influence on the residual stress generation.All three processing aspects were reviewed with the objective to improve the fatigue life of steels which is one of the possiblefields of application for LSP.This underlined the need to pay special attention to all the surface parameters influencing the fatigue behaviour, such as(i)the compressive residual stressfields(X-ray dif-fraction)including stress amplitude levels,surface homogeneity aspects,and plastically affected depths, (ii)the work-hardening levels with the use of X-ray peak broadening and Vickers hardness measurements, (iii)the surface morphology modifications which are known to influence fatigue crack initiation.In each case,experimental measurements were re-ported which allowed a state-of-the art to be drawn for LSP in a plasma-confined regime with water,and to evaluate its potential as a novel process to improve the properties of the near-surface region.On the other hand,the future potential of LSP was discussed,with attention focused on the emergence of new laser sour-ces.2.General trends in laser-shock processingof materialsLaser-shock processing(LSP)uses a high-energy (tenths of J)pulsed laser to irradiate a metallic surface0022—2461 1998Chapman&Hall1421Figure 1Laser-shock processing with a

cm \ power density,it generates,through the expansion of a high-temperature (a few tens of thou-sands °C)—high-pressure (GPa range)surface plasma,a high-intensity shock wave which induces planar plastic strain in the metallic part.Conventional con-figuration,that was assessed in the 1968—1980[3—5]period in the Battelle Columbus Institute (OH,USA)consists in covering the metal to be treated with a pro-tective coating (to avoid thermal effects)and to im-merse the area to be treated below a water overlay to improve the mechanical coupling by a confining-like effect (Fig.1).Indeed,as the plasma is trapped be-tween the target and the overlying water,its amplitude and duration are increased by factors of 10(for the peak pressure level)and 3(for the pulse duration)compared with direct ablation mode.Thus,the irra-diated materials undergo no thermal process nor microstructural changes,except at very high pressures when pressure-induced phase transformations occur,such as P on stainless steels (above 11—15GPa)[7]or P on ferritic steels.Instead,the surface is submitted to uniaxial plastic strain,provided the stress-wave amplitude reaches a level superior to the shock yield strength of the target which is commonly termed the Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL).All the investigations reported on LSP have been carried out with Q -switched neodymium —glass lasers operating at "1.06 m with 40—100J output ener-gies,0.6—30ns pulse durations and repetition rates ranging between 1shot every 20—30minutes (Battelle,USA,1968—1980[3—5]and 1shot every 2—3minutes (LALP,France,1990—1996)[6,9—11].The power den-sity range is usually in the 1—100GW cm \ range with pulses that are Gaussian in shape or exhibit short rise times [9].Many processing aspects to be high-lighted and optimized to ensure the best laser-material coupling as possible in terms of the plasma generation and most of all the stress-wave transmission to thesubstrate target.For instance,dielectric breakdowns occurring in the water have been shown to reduce the amount of energy reaching the surface at high power densities by creating a parasitic absorptive plasma at the water/air interface [11].Above 10—15GW cm \ ,the breakdown phenomenon limits the shock pres-sures to 5—6GPa,shortens the pulse durations and,most of all,gives much more scattering to the peak-pressure values.Of all the parameters influencing the transmission of a high-intensity stress wave to the substrate target at a given power density,the thermoabsorptive coat-ing layer has been rarely investigated precisely,except by Fox [3].In terms of compressive residual stress fields,all the previous studies have shown that LSP not only could have an affect much deeper than other surface processings (up to 2mm depth),but also gen-erated stress levels close to those generated by shot-peening [8,10].In this paper we aim to draw,for the first time,correlations between the shock conditions stress load-ings,2),the surface modifications and the mechan-ical behaviour of surface-treated samples after LSP.3.MaterialsThree different materials were used during our invest-igations;two of them (pure thin aluminium and AISI 316L stainless steel foils)were provided by Goodfel-low SA,the last one was an industrial 55C1medium carbon steel often used in automotive parts.Physical,acoustic and mechanical properties of the starting materials are shown in Table I,whereis density,Cis bulk sound velocity,S is a material constant,Z is acoustic impedance is ,D " (C #S º), 7istensile yield strength (quasi-static value),and E , are elastic constants (Young’s modulus and anisotropy coefficient)4.Characterization of laser-induced stress waves with the VISAR technique4.1.The VISAR system for measuring backfree velocitiesThe major contributor to the surface modifications generated by LSP is the stress pulse, "f (t )gener-ated at the surface of materials by the plasma pressure while it represents the mechanical loading of the target (at the plasma —target interface we can write P ").Many techniques have already been used to describe these mechanical impulses.Among these,piezoelectric quartz [9]or electromagnetic volt-age (EMV)gauges [13]have provided very useful information,but limited by non-linear behaviour in1422Figure2Schematic illustration of free velocity measurement with a VISARsystem.Figure3 "f(º)curves for aluminium,steels and air(vacuum). Example of a3—4GW cm\ LSP(P"2.7GPa):free velocity value"330m s\ on aluminium alloys,"110m s\ on316L steel.the case of quartz and by some magneticfieldfluctu-ations in the case of EMV gauge.New piezoelectric copolymers also seem to be very promising but are still under investigation[14].To understand and predict LSP effects on the me-tallic surface modifications,a precise characterization of laser-produced shock waves was conducted with a Doppler-laser velocimeter system called a velocity in-terferometer system for any reflector(VISAR).This technique interferometry is a newly developed[15] method for measuring free velocities induced by shock waves behind thin metallic targets.It has already been used to characterize the conventional shock loadings, but an original device has been developed in our laboratory by Tollier et al.[16]to identify the spalla-tion thresholds in pure materials such as aluminium or copper(Fig.2).Using an argon-probe laser focused (200 m spot)at the back free surface of the targets, this system identifies the acceleration of interferencef-ringes,which are dependent on the back free surface velocity,ºD,through a Doppler-like effect[15].As-suming that shock and release parts of the Hugoniot curves are almost symmetrical(totally symmetrical when the stress level (2HEL),this velocity,ºD,is approximately twice the particle velocity,º,behind the shock front(ºD"2º)(Fig.3).Lastly,by the use of the classical Rankine—Hugoniot conservation for-mula,one can access easily the stress-time loading profiles at the surface of the targets withwhen (HEL" C ºwhen 'HEL" Dº#2/3 7" (C #Sº)º#2/3 7(1) where is the laser-induced peak stress,2/3 7is an elastic contributor corresponding to the deviatoric parts of the stress, the density,and C the longi-tudinal elastic velocity(6000m s\ on steels and 6500m s\ on aluminium alloys).4.2.Shock-wave simulationsSHYLAC-1D hydrodynamic code[17]was used to simulate laser-induced free velocity profiles.This code is based on the method offinite differences and allows simulation of a laser energy deposit(J cm\ )including the efficiency of the interaction, ,at the surface of the material in confined ablation mode.Coefficient is known to be the energy ratio involved in the pressure rise,so(1! )E is devoted to the plasma formation [6].During our simulations,this coefficient was esti-mated to0.2—0.25,to give a goodfitting with experi-mental measurements.This code includes a Mıe Gruneisen equation of state with reference to the Hugoniot curves of the materials(Fig.3).A purely elastic—plastic behaviour was used for all the materials to evaluate the evolution of shock parameters(particle velocity,º,stress,internal energy,2)in metallic targets.4.3.Characterization of laser-inducedloadings on aluminium-coated steels During a laser-material interaction in the GW cm\ range,the energy deposit and the ablation pheno-menon occur on a few micrometres thus creating heat penetration to depths ranging between10and20 m. Consequently,during a conventional laser-shock,sur-faces have to be protected by at least20 m thick coatings to provide only pure mechanical impulses to the targets.Irrespective of laser parameters(power density,pulse duration,pulse rise time,laser wavelength)which have been shown to influence the plasma pressure levels,the coating effects have to be estimated to precise laser-induced stress loadings sub-mitted to materials.Since the early works on LSP,many coatings have been used to ensure a thermal protection to metallic targets.These coatings can be metallic or organic paints or adhesives.Thefirst atomic layers of the coating not only protect the surface from thermal rise but also from the plasma in itself,indicating that they can play a fundamental role on the plasma properties and particularly the plasma pressure.Most of all,1423Figure 4(——)VISAR velocity measurements at 3—4GW cm \ fluence on uncoated 316L and pure aluminium 200 m foils.(——)SHYLAC-1D simulation

surface coating and the under-lying substrate can modify the stress loading by type mismatch impedance effects:if Z (Z,the peakstress increases when the shock wave comes from material 1to material 2.In this work,two of the usual protective coatings have been investigated:an alumi-nium-based paint with different thicknesses,and an aluminium-based adhesive of 100 m (including 20 m glue).Well-calibrated 200 m 316L foils were used instead of 55C1ones to draw general tendencies about LSP on aluminium-coated steels.At a given incident laser irradiance (about 4GW cm \ power densities),free velocity measurements were conducted on (i)bare 200 m aluminium foils,(ii)bare 200 m 316L stainless steel foils and (iii)200 m 316L #aluminium-based coatings at different thicknesses.Figs 4—7show the free velocity profiles as a function of time for each configuration.On aluminium foils impacted with 4GW cm \ (Fig.4),the maximal free velocity amplitude is shown to be 320$20m s \ (average value with at least three measurements)de-noting an impact pressure P "2.8$0.2GPa (asshown by SHYLAC simulation and evidenced in Fig.3).Pressure pulse duration at half maximum is close to 60ns which is nearly twice the laser pulse duration.Reverberations of shock and release waves on the front and rear faces of the 200 m foil give this oscillating aspect (successive velocity jumps)to the profile.On AISI 316L stainless steel,impedance mismatch effects occur and modify the profiles very strongly,as shown by a comparison between profiles of uncoated and coated steels (Figs 4—6).The free velocity ampli-tude is nearly 120m s \ on the bare steels,whereas it reaches 200—220m s \ with 140 m coatings by impe-dance mismatch-like effects.In terms of stress levels, ,submitted to the metal,it increases from nearly the same level indicated on aluminium foils (2.7$0.5GPa)up to 4.5$0.5GPa.This very huge increase (#50%)happens with a shortening of the first velocity jump.In Fig.6,the coating effects are also shown very clearly:for a lower coating thickness (90 m Al #10 m glue versus 140 m Al paint),the adhesive configuration displays almost the same velocity levels1424Figure 8VISAR:elastic precursor determination on steels at 5GW cm \ and (——)500 m 316L or (——)360 m 55C1coated with 90 m aluminium paint (estimated surface stress "6GPa).(close to 220m s \ "4.7GPa).This was ascribed to the acoustic properties of glue which tend to increase the stress amplitudes.The stress levels deduced (with Equation 1)from several velocity measurements on coated steels at different power densities,are reported in Fig.7and compared with measurements on bare materials.From this stress "f (power density)curve,we can conclude that coatings effects can play a very significant role in the case where their acoustic proper-ties differ from those of the substrate (aluminium-base coatings on steels).On steels,the large stress increases generated by aluminium-based coatings will have to be taken into account to optimize the shock conditions for materials hardening.ser spot-size effectsRecent investigations have shown that with a small impact configuration (0.5—1mm),plastically affected depths could be strongly reduced by two-dimensional effects (Fig.11below).Our objective was also to con-firm that surface stress levels were unmodified when reducing the impact sizes.We have reported in Fig.7,pressure measurements performed with 1mm im-pacts,where it is obvious that no detectable change has occurred with 1mm instead of 4or 5mm impacts.4.5.Determination of elastic —plastictransition during a laser-shock loadingLSP can be described as a planar compressive stress wave creating plastic strain in materials,provided the stress amplitude exceeds the shock yield strength un-der uniaxial loading (termed the Hugoniot limit HEL)of the base material.To optimize processing condi-tions,one must not only access the maximal stress level at the surface of the target,but also HEL values which depend on mechanical properties according to [18]:HEL "(1! )/(1!2 )(2)where is the anisotropy coefficient andthecompressive yield strength at high strain rate.In elas-tic —plastic solids,the stress waves transmitted through the specimen separate into two distinct waves:a lead-ing elastic wave of HEL amplitude,and a plastic wave.The only means of determining HEL values is to analyse the amplitude of the elastic precursors of shock-wave profiles.These precursors are generally constant in depth,except on steels where attenuations have been shown to occur by many authors [19]on conventional shock loadings.The aim of this third part was to determine HEL values on all the materials investigated and to compare them with static values.Two examples of precursor determination are shown in Fig.8on 55C1and 316L steels indicating that the free velocity values at the elastic —plastic inflection are close to 105m s \ on 55C1steel and 50m s \ on 316L.With the use of Equation 1below HEL (HEL " C º&#*),this leads us to HEL values of1.2GPa on 316L and2.5GPa on 55C1.When acomparison is made with static 7,HEL values giveinteresting information on the strain-rate depen-dence of the alloys.Indeed,as HEL "(1! )/(1!2 ) "1.75,one can easily deducefrom the precursor values with "HEL/1.75.Consequently,at 10 s \ ,we have (i)on 316LºD

decrease in depth on steels [19],the HEL values are certainly underestimated by our VISAR stly,on 55Cl steel,a decrease behind the precur-sor was noticed (Fig.8).This phenomenon,already mentioned by many authors on steels [18]seems to be due to twin formations at the elastic —plastic transition.4.6.ConclusionIn this section,we have described laser-induced shock waves in a water-confining regime with the use of a Doppler velocimeter system and with particular attention paid to the influence of the thermal absorp-tive coatings on the stress profiles.It has been shown on aluminium-coated steels that,with thick enough coatings (more than 50 m),stress levels could be increased to a large scale,reaching #50%,as com-pared with stress levels obtained on bare materials.Moreover,confirmation was obtained that,even if small impacts can have detrimental effects on the shock-wave attenuation in depth,their surface stress1425Figure 9Laser-shock processing fatigue of notched samples withlarge or smallimpacts.Figure 10Average residual stress values determined at the surface of notched fatigue samples with different LSP conditions at 5GW cm \ in the water-confining regime:(1)6mm impacts

was investigated and it was shown that steels are much more strain-rate dependent than aluminium alloys.5.Surface modifications induced by laser-shock processing on 55C1steel 5.1.Residual stressesResidual stresses (RS)are usually known to be the key to enhanced mechanical properties such as fatigue or wear resistance.Consequently,most of our investiga-tions have concentrated on determining surface and in-depth residual stresses induced by different shock configurations on different materials.In the case of LSP,they appear to be the result of a two-step mecha-nism:(1)a uniaxial compression during the laser-pulse generating tensile stretching of the surface layers,and (2)an opposite reaction of the surrounding zones (besides and below)which induces the compressive stress field.A recent calculation by Ballard et al .[8]has shown (Equations 2and 3)that the laser-induced plastic deformation, (and therefore,the surface stresses,),are linearly dependent on the ( :HEL)ratio.In fact,this ratio seems to be the most important parameter to optimize,but it necessitates a precise knowledge of and HEL (as was done in Section 4).Indeed,according to Ballard et al .[8],and consider-ing the case of a solid inclusion in a semi-infinite body with work-hardening effects taken as negligible,the maximum plastic deformations are achieved when 2HEL ( (2.5HEL.Plastically affected depths ‘¸’and maximum surface stresses,,are then cal-culated from [8]¸"2HELC CC !C(2) " 71!4(2 (1# )Lr(2(3)where ¸is the plastically affected depth (mm),CandCare elastic and plastic velocities (6000and 4500m s \ ,respectively,on steels), is the pressure pulse duration (nearly 50—60ns for a 20—25ns laser pulse),the residual surface stresses (MPa),andr the radius of the impact (mm).The X-ray diffraction technique by the sin method was used to determine the residual surface stresses (RSS)induced by LSP. -Fe (211)diffraction profiles were measured at 10 angles and only 1 di-rection with Cr K ?radiation at 2 "156°angle.Peakbroadenings were evaluated using full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)after removal of the K ?radi-ation.Indepth stresses were obtained after step-by-step electropolishing of the impacted areas.The two coating configurations previously investi-gated with VISAR were also used for the treatment of notched fatigue samples at the same power density (Fig.9).With the aluminium paint configuration,two impact diameters were also used to estimate the spot-size effects.Residual stress measurements performed down the notch roots (Fig.10)show that uncoated materials have very high tensile stress values even when confined with water.This was attributed to severe surface melting and confirms the overall influ-ence of coatings to preserve the surface integrity.Among the three classical (protective coating #con-fining water)configurations,that for small impacts displayed the highest stress level (up to !460MPa compared to !410MPa with largest impacts and !390MPa with aluminium adhesive).These stress levels are close to !0.75which is roughly themaximal ratio previously achieved on aluminium alloys [10]or chromium —molybdenum steels [8].On the other hand,the large impact configuration was shown to affect the metal at much greater depth than the small impact one as shown by measurements on plane samples exhibited in Fig.11.This is due to two-dimensional attenuation of shock waves in the case of small impacts that reduce the plastically affec-ted depths (800 m for 1mm impacts and 1200 m for 6mm impacts).It was also shown that LSP did not create any detectable X-ray peak broadenings after LSP (Fig.12),except on uncoated materials where structural modifications during melting and solidifi-cation were shown to harden the superficial layers,thus increasing the FWHM values (from 1.4to1426Figure 11In-depth residual stresses on 55C1-LSP 5GW cm \ .Influence of impact sizes on the affected

structural defects (dislocations,etc.)in 55C1.5.2.Surface morphology modificationsRoughness and waviness measurements were made in order to analyse the surface geometry changes as a function of processing parameters.It is shown in Fig.13that LSP in the water-confinement re-gime #coating (configurations 1,2,3)keeps the sur-face roughness,R,globally unchanged (except forsmall impacts where a small roughening occurs from0.03—0.1 m).However,surface undulations appear because of the ring-like pattern on the incident laser beam,and also because of overlapping regions.This phenomenon is clearly discernible in the case of small impacts where the average waviness parameter,¼,increases from 0.07 m to 1.25 m (a factor of 20).The last point to notice is that uncoated material not only has tensile residual stresses but also has a deleterious surface state (R"0.2 m)because of surface melting.6.Modifications of mechanical properties of 55C1steel with LSP6.1.Modifications of monotonic propertiesPlane 55C1samples were laser processed at 5GW cm \ to evaluate LSP effects on static proper-ties.Extensometric strain-gauges were stuck to plane samples to estimate,during four-point monotonic bending,the effects of LSP in the water-confined mode on the "f ( )curve of the impacted surface (Fig.14).After LSP,the 55C1elastic —plastic behaviour is slightly modified,showing:no modifications of Young’s modulus,E ;no detectable change in 7;a 10%increase in(800MPa to 890MPa)dueto an increase in the hardening modulus,h ,of the surface layers in the first plastic strain steps.However,because of the kinematic #isotropic hardening behaviour evidenced at the beginning of the plastic strain (curved aspect of the elastic —plastic transition),a quantitative evolution of h was difficult to calculate.In conclusion,the laser-induced changes in plastic flow limits seems to be very low as compared with classical surface treatments like shot-peening or carbo-nitriding,which are known to create much higher increases in 7but also a surface embrittlement [20].6.2.Modifications of fatigue propertiesFatigue tests were carried out on notched specimen having a stress

其主要分为铁基高温合金、钴基高温合金和镍基高温合金[1, 2]。
本构关系广义上是指自然界作用与由该作用产生的效应两者之间的关系。
为确定物体在外部因素作用下的响应,除必须知道反映质量守恒、动量平衡、动量矩平衡、能量守恒等自然界普遍规律的基本方程外,还须知道描述构成物体的物质属性所特有的本构方程,才能在数学上得到封闭的方程组,并在一定的初始条件和边界条件下把问题解决。
因此,无论就物理或数学而言,刻画物质性质的本构关系是必不可少的。
目前应用较多的本构模型主要包括弹塑性力学中的经典本构模型,如理想弹塑性模型、线性强化弹塑性模型、幂强化力学模型和刚塑性力学模型。
然而塑性变形中应力-应变之间关系是非线性的,应变不仅与应力状态有关,而且和变形历史有关,因而研究者还提出增量理论和全量理论进行描述主要形成。
研究者在对金属材料的研究中不断提出新的本构模型,主要形成了两类本构模型:经验型本构模型,如Johnson -Cook 模型、Rusinek-Klepaczko 模型等;物理型的本构模型,如Hoge-Mukherjee模型、Zerilli-Armstrong 模型、MTS 模型等[3-5]。

对于理想弹塑性模型来说, 在研究材料的应力应变关系时,分两个阶段。
第一阶段为弹性变形,第二阶段为塑性变形。
在塑性变形时,要考虑变形之前的弹性变形,而不考虑硬化的材料,也就是进入塑性状态后,应力不需要增加就可以产生塑性变形。

(polypropylene/20vol.%E-glass fiber)is presented in terms of stress –number of cycles to failure curves.Samples tested along longitudinal direction showed a higher fatigue life than the transverse samples which can be explained by the preferential orientation of the fibers along the longitudinal direction developed during the processing.Fatigue life decreased with increase in frequency.Hysteretic loss and temperature rise were measured;they depended on the stress amplitude as well as the cyclic frequency.Long fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite showed a lower temperature rise compared to unreinforced PP because long fiber reinforced thermoplastic has higher thermal conductivity than unreinforced PP and thus faster heat dissipation to the surroundings occur.The hysteretic heating also led to decrease in the modulus of long fiber reinforced thermoplastic as a function of number of cycles due to the softening of the matrix during fatigue cycling and depended on stress amplitude and frequency of the test.©2009Elsevier Inc.All rights reserved.Keywords:Long fiber reinforced thermoplastic (LFT)Fatigue S-N curves Hysteretic heating Modulus change1.IntroductionThermoplastic composites are being used in a variety of applications such as mass-transit,automotive,and military structures.They have an edge over traditional materials,such as steel and aluminum,in these applications due to their high specific strength,good damping capacity,and corrosion resistance.The matrix in thermoplastic composites is gen-erally comprised of polypropylene (PP),polyethylene (PE),nylon or other inexpensive polymers.E-glass fiber is a commonly used reinforcing material [1].Long fiber thermo-plastic (LFT)composites have seen one of the highest growth rates,approximately 30%per year,in the plastic industry during recent times [2].Currently,short glass fibers are predominantly used as reinforcement in polypropylene in the automotive industry.But the full strength of the reinfor-cing short fibers is not realized due to their low fiber aspect ratio.The aspect ratio (ratio of fiber length (ℓ)to diameter (d ))of fibers in LFTs is an order of magnitude greater than that of a short fiber,often exceeding ℓ/d of 2000and,thus,take full advantage of the strength of the reinforcing fiber [3].The critical fiber length (ℓc )can be obtained from the following equation [3,4]:S c d =r max 2s ið1Þwhere τi is the shear strength of the fiber/matrix interface,d is the glass fiber diameter,and σmax is the fiber fracture strength.LFTs are frequently used in structural applications where cyclic loading is important.Thus,characterizing the fatigue behavior of LFTs is of great importance.Many factors govern the fatigue behavior of discontinuous fiber reinforced polymerM A T E R I A L S C H A R A C T E R I Z A T I O N 60(2009)537–544⁎Corresponding author.Tel.:+12059759725;fax:+12059348485.E-mail addresses:ashutosh@

matrix,interfacial properties, and testing conditions.Two common methods of making LFT composites are extrusion-compression molding and injection molding.The fibers tend to orient along the flow direction which leads to superior mechanical properties along the flow direction.As the degree of fiber misorientation with respect to loading axis increases,the strength of the composite is increasingly dominated by the matrix and interfacial proper-ties[6].Fiber length also plays an important role in the fatigue behavior of discontinuous fiber reinforced composites.Long fibers carry a significantly higher fraction of the load compared to short fibers.Also,for a given fiber volume fraction,there are less stress concentration sites(fiber ends) for long fibers compared to short fibers[3].Fatigue of polymer and PMCs also depends greatly on the frequency,stress amplitude,and the viscoelastic nature of the polymer matrix.One of the important aspects of fatigue in polymers is hysteretic heating due to the viscoelastic and insulating nature of the polymer leading to temperature rise and possible softening.Hysteretic heating becomes important at high stress amplitudes and frequencies because not enough time is available for the specimen temperature to reach equilibrium with its surroundings[5–7].Another possible source of temperature rise in fiber reinforced composites is the frictional sliding between the fiber and matrix.Besides hysteretic heating and temperature rise another phenomenon which has been observed is the continuous decrease in modulus during fatigue due to fiber fracture,fiber/matrix debonding,and resin softening and cracking[8].Considerable work has been done on the fatigue behavior of continuous and short glass-fiber reinforced polypropy-lene[9–12].Not much work has been done on the fatigue behavior of long glass fiber reinforced polypropylene.Here we present results on the fatigue behavior of LFT(PP/20vol.% E-glass),made by extrusion-compression molding in terms of stress vs.cycles(S–N)or Wöhler curves.We characterized the fatigue behavior in terms of processing induced fiber-orientation and the effect of frequency on the fatigue life of LFT.Hysteresis loops were also obtained and were used to calculate the energy loss and modulus as a function of number of fatigue cycles.Temperature rise due to hysteretic heating was measured as a function of stress amplitude and cyclic frequency.Fractographic results are also reported. These experiments coupled with fractographic analysis were used to quantify the fatigue damage mechanisms in the composite.2.Experimental ProcedureA hot-melt impregnation process was used to produce impregnated glass fiber tows[2].In this process the fiber tows were pultruded through a heated die during which the individual filaments are impregnated with PP.The pultruded tow impregnated with the PP matrix was cooled and then chopped into LFT pellets approximately25mm in length. Glass fiber/PP LFT pellets were used as a starting material for an extrusion/compression molding process.A plasticator and 400-ton capacity compression molding press were used.The plasticator was used to convert the LFT pellet into a bulk molten charge.The pressure in the plasticator was1.25MPa, the screw speed was9-10rpm,and the melt temperature at the knife was around230°C.The molten charge was then quickly transferred to a press where it was compression molded while still hot.The mold temperature,checked every 40cycles,remained constant at54°C and76°C for the top and bottom mold halves,respectively.The plaque temperature at the time of ejection ranged from87.5°C to90.0°C and from 45°C to51°C five minutes after ejection,for an ambient temperature of31-32°C[1].The plaques were then removed after cooling.The dimensions of the rectangular LFT plaques (21vol.%long E-glass fiber)were600×240×4mm.Fiber volume fraction was determined by burning-off the matrix.The microstructure of the LFT composites was examined by optical microscopy.The LFTs were sectioned at several places,both along longitudinal and transverse directions. The cross-sections were polished to a final finish of1μm Al2O3 slurry,using an automatic polisher.Light microscopy was conducted to study the as-polished cross sections.A servohydraulic machine was used for both tensile and fatigue tests.Both types of experiments were conducted using dogbone shaped specimens.Rectangular bars of dimensions 165×20×4mm were sectioned along the length as well as the width of the plate to take into account the variation in the mechanical properties due to processing induced fiber orien-tation.The gage length was approximately50mm long.The gage length portion of the samples was ground to a1200grit finish to remove machining marks and sharp edges.Tensile testing was performed in displacement control mode with a crosshead speed of4mm/min.An extensometer was attached to the gage length to measure strain.Fatigue testing was conducted in tension-tension at an R-ratio(σmin/σmax)of0.2 and at frequencies of10,15,and20Hz.For each stress level, five samples were tested.A fatigue endurance limit was defined as106cycles,i.e.,the test was stopped if the sample did not fail after106cycles.A Type K thermocouple wasusedFig.1–A representative micrograph of LFT.It can be seen that most of the fibers are parallel to the flow direction.538M A T E R I A L S C H A R A C T E R I Z A T I O N60(2009)537–544to measure the temperature rise of the fatigue specimens at different frequencies.The thermocouple was attached to the gage length of the dogbone specimens.The fracture surfaces of tensile and fatigue specimens were examined in a scanning electron microscope(SEM).The samples were first ultrasoni-cally cleaned and then sputter coated with gold/palladium to improve surface conductivity.3.Results3.1.Microstructural CharacterizationThe orientation of the fibers is anisotropic.We designate the orientation of the composite parallel to the flow axis as longitudinal,and perpendicular to the flow axis as transverse.A representative micrograph of the LFT along the longitudinal axis is shown in Fig.1.The details of fiber orientation data can be found in ref.[13].Suffice to say here that most of the fibers were aligned along the flow direction.3.2.Tensile TestsResults of the tensile test are summarized in Table1.The longitudinal LFTs had a higher ultimate tensile strength(UTS) and Young′s modulus compared to the transverse LFTs.When the sample is loaded in tension or fatigue,most of the fibers in the longitudinal samples are loaded to their maximum strength while in the transverse only a small fraction of the fibers is loaded to maximum strength.Thus,longitudinal samples exhibited better performance in tension compared to the transverse samples.3.3.Fatigue TestsResults of the fatigue tests on longitudinal and transverse samples at a frequency of10Hz are shown in Fig.2.The longitudinal samples showed better fatigue resistance than the transverse samples.Similar results were found for samples tested at15and20Hz.When the S–N curves are normalized with respect to the Young′s modulus of LFT in the longitudinal and transverse direction,as shown in Fig.3,the plots overlap.This indicates that the enhanced load transfer to the fibers in the longitudinal direction,which results in higher Young′s modulus,is responsible for better fatigue life in the longitudinal than in the transverse direction.Similar overlapping of the plots was also found for the samples tested at15and20Hz.The effect of frequency on the fatigue life of longitudinal samples can be seen in Fig.4.As the frequency increases,the fatigue life of both longitudinal and transverse LFT decreases.Transverse samples behaved similarly.3.4.Hysteretic Energy Loss And Temperature RiseHysteretic heating during fatigue is inherent in polymer and polymer composite because of the relatively high loss modulus combined with the low thermal conductivity of the polymer.The area within the hysteresis loop gives the

LFT and PP sample tested at 9MPa and 20Hz is shown in Fig.5.Fig.6shows energy loss vs.number of cycles for LFTs tested at a frequency of 20Hz and at stress amplitudes of 20and 13MPa.The hysteretic energy loss in LFT tested at 20MPa first increased rapidly but then became constant for a short period of time before final failure.The LFT tested at 13MPa showed a considerably lower energy loss and survived up to 106cycles.Fig.7shows the energy loss vs.number of cycles for LFT at a stress amplitude of 20MPa and frequencies of 10,15,and 20Hz.The sample tested at a frequency of 10Hz showed very small energy loss.Samples tested at frequencies of 15and 20Hz showed initial increase in the energy loss,followed by plateau regions with increasing number of cycles.The energy loss increased with increasing frequency.Temperature rise was measured during fatigue testing.Fig.8shows temperature rise vs.number of cycles to failure plots for LFTs tested at a frequency of 10Hz and at stress amplitudes of 35,27,and 21MPa.From the plots it can be seen that the greater the stress amplitude faster and higher is the temperature rise.Similar results were obtained for samples tested at frequencies of 15and 20Hz.The effect of frequency was also noticed in the temperature rise plots,see Fig.9.At agiven stress amplitude,temperature rises more quickly at higher frequency and leads to premature failure of the composite.Similar results were obtained at other stress amplitudes.3.5.Change in ModulusHysteretic heating leads to softening of a material,which is manifested as a drop in modulus.Modulus decrease with increasing number of cycles for the samples tested at a frequency of 20Hz is shown in Fig.10.The sample tested at stress amplitude of 13MPa showed only slight decrease in modulus in the initial stage and later became constant with increasing number of cycles.The sample tested at 20MPa showed a sharp drop in modulus with increasing number of cycles and an early failure.Similar behavior was observed for samples tested at frequencies of 10and 15Hz with rate of modulus decrease being lower for the sample tested at lower frequencies.Fig.11shows the results for samples tested at stress amplitude of 20MPa and frequencies of 10,15and 20Hz.The rate of modulus decrease increased with increasing frequency.For the samples tested at stress amplitude of 13MPa,only a slight lowering of modulus was observed at the threefrequencies.Fig.5–Examples of hysteresis loops for the LFT andunreinforced PP samples tested at 9MPa and 20Hz after 1000cycles.Fig.6–Hysteretic

showed that the dominant failure mechanisms in LFT composites were fiber pullout,fiber fracture,and matrix fracture as shown in Fig.12.In the case of long fibers exceeding the critical length,fiber breakage must precede fiber pullout [3].Fiber pullout occurs when the interfacial stresses at the fiber/matrix interface exceed the interfacial strength,causing the fiber to debond from the matrix.Fracture surfaces also showed evidence of PP matrix sticking to the fibers;see Fig.13.Figs.14and 15show the fracture surface of the fatigue samples as observed in SEM.Similar fracture mechanisms,i.e.,fiber pullout,fiber fracture,and matrix fracture occurred in the fatigue specimens as were observed in the tensile specimens.Surfaces of many fibers were clean with no matrix sticking on it,(Fig.14).Fig.14also shows that the crack propagates easily when the fibers are oriented transverse to the loading axis.This is as expected because a crack always takes the path of least resistance,i.e.,in the transverse orientation.Evidence ofPP matrix sticking on the pulled out fibers can be seen in Fig.15.When the fibers are oriented along the loading direction then we expect to observe the following failure sequence:fiber fracture,fiber/matrix debonding,followed by fiber pullout and matrix failure.Also,it is known that at the fiber ends,high shear stresses occur [3].A weak fiber/matrix interface can lead to debonding.During fatigue loading,debonding can start at the fiber ends and develop along the interface which can then lead to fiber pullout and matrix failure.Similar fracture morphologies were observed in fatigue and tensile specimens.parison with Unreinforced PPFig.16shows a comparison of LFT S –N curve at 20Hz obtained in this work with that of S –N curve of unreinforced PP obtained from [14].Although the LFT was tested at higher frequency (20Hz)it showed much higher fatigue resistance as compared to unreinforced PP which was tested at 1Hz.It is to be noted that at higher frequency there will be considerable hysteretic heating in the LFT which will tend to soften the PP matrix in LFT samples while the hysteretic losses are not likely to be very high in case of PP tested at 1Hz.Fig.9–Temperature rise vs.no.of cycles to failure curves for sample tested at a stress amplitude of 21MPa and at frequencies (a)20Hz,(b)15Hz,and (c)10Hz.At higher frequency temperature rise is faster and leads to earlier failure of thesample.Fig.10–Normalized modulus vs.number of cycles for LFT samples tested at 20Hz.A sharp decrease in modulus was observed for sample tested at higher stressamplitude.Fig.11–Normalized modulus vs.number of cycles plot for LFT samples tested at 20MPa.Modulus remains constant for the sample tested at 10Hz while it decreases throughout for the samples tested at 15and 20Hz.Fig.12–Fracture surface of the tensile specimen.Fiber pull-out and fiber fracture can be seen.SEM.541M A T E R I A L S C H A R A C T E R I Z A T I O N 60(2009)537–544Fig.17compares the energy loss due to hysteresis in PP and LFT at stress amplitude of 8MPa and frequency of 20Hz.The hysteresis loss in PP showed initial increase and later became constant while LFT showed a slight increase initially and then remained constant during the test.There could be two possible causes of temperature rise in any composite material in response to fatigue loading;(a)Hysteretic heating (depending upon the matrix),and (b)Frictional sliding between the fiber/matrix interface.In order to determine whether the temperature rise in LFT,see Figs.10and 11,was due to the fiber/matrix interfacial sliding as is evident by the fiber pullout,see Figs.12–15,a comparative study of the temperature rise of LFT and unreinforced PP was done in the present work.The test was done at two different stress amplitudes,15and 10MPa.The cyclic frequency was chosen to be 20Hz because the interfacial sliding would be higher at higher frequency.Figs.18and 19show that the unreinforced PP showed higher temperature rise as compared to LFT in both the cases.These results are in accord with Fig.17,namely,the unreinforced PP shows higher hysteretic energy loss compared to LFT,thus one would expect that PP would also show a higher temperature rise compared to LFT.4.DiscussionResults shown in Table 1and Fig.2clearly show the effect of processing-induced fiber orientation on the mechanical properties of LFT.Tensile tests (Table 1)show that,as expected,longitudinal LFTs have higher UTS and modulus values as compared to the transverse LFTs.Results of fatigue tests,see Fig.2,show that longitudinal LFTs have better fatigue life as compared to transverse LFTs.The results were similar for tests at frequencies of 15,and 20Hz,i.e.,long-itudinal LFTs always showed better fatigue performance than the transverse LFTs.From Fig.1it can be seen that in the longitudinal samples,most of the fibers are aligned parallel to the loading direction and hence are the main load bearing agents while in the transverse samples most of the fibers are perpendicular to the loading axis and hence do not contribute to the full extent.The S-N curves normalized by the long-itudinal and transverse modulus of LFT overlap,see Fig.3.This indicates that the difference due to fiber orientation in these LFTs can be explained by the difference in modulus of the samples in the longitudinal and transverse directions [15].Samples tested at 15and 20Hz showed similar overlap.With increasing frequency,a decrease in fatigue life of LFTs was observed,see Fig.4.During fatigue cycling of LFTs,the PP matrix undergoes deformation such as formation of crazes,shear bands,voids or microcracks.A part of the mechanical work done is converted to hysteretic heat in each cycle which is particularly evident at high stress amplitudes and at high frequencies.This leads to softening of PP,loss of modulus and early failure at high frequencies.The heat generated due to hysteretic loss stays in the sample because the low thermal conductivity of the polymer matrix leads to temperature rise resulting in failure due to thermal softening,reducingtheFig.13–SEM of the tensile specimen

at 10Hz and at stress amplitudes of 35,27,and 21MPa.It can be seen that although the sample tested at 35and 27MPa showed similar tempera-ture rise,the rate of temperature rise is faster in the case of sample tested at 35MPa.Not much temperature rise can be seen in the case of sample tested at 21MPa.This sample showed some initial temperature increase but later tempera-ture became constant and failure occurred not because of hysteretic heating but conventional form of fatigue crack nucleation and propagation.Similar results were obtained for the samples tested at 15and 20Hz and similar stress amplitudes.Fig.9shows the effect of test frequency in the temperature rise at a given stress amplitude.We can see that at 20Hz,there occurs a significant temperature rise while at 10Hz,only a slight temperature rise occurs.In the former,failure is dominated by hysteretic heating phenomenon while in the latter it is the conventional form of fatigue crack initiation and propagation which was mainly responsible for failure.Similar results were obtained for samples tested at 35and 27MPa and at similar frequencies.The temperature rise shown in Figs.8and 9agrees very well with the hysteretic energy loss curves shown in Figs.6and 7since at higher stress amplitude and higher frequency we observe higher hysteretic energy loss and higher temperature rise;the failure is mostly thermal in nature.Inthe samples tested at lower stress amplitudes and lower frequencies,lower hysteretic losses were observed and the failure was mainly mechanical.Figs.12and 13show the micrographs of the fracture surface of the tensile specimen.Fiber pullout,fiber fracture and matrix fracture are the energy-absorption mechanism during the tensile testing.Figs.14and 15are the micrographs of the fracture surfaces after fatigue tests.Similar failure mechanisms were operative in the fatigue specimen as in the tensile specimen,in the low –cycle as well as in the high –cycle fatigue region.In cyclic fatigue of ceramic matrix composite (CMCs),ceramics being insulators like polymers,temperature rise was observed by some researchers [17,18].This was attributed to frictional sliding between fiber/matrix interfaces.As evident by the fiber pullout,see Figs.12–15,there could be some heat generation due to fiber/matrix sliding in LFTs too.In order to assess the effect of interfacial sliding in the temperature rise of LFT,we measured the temperature rise in unreinforced PP where there is no interfacial sliding.It was observed that PP showed higher hysteresis loss (Fig.17)as well as higher temperature rise compared to LFT (Figs.18and 19).This would indicate that in the case of the LFTs used in the present work,the viscoelastic nature of the PP matrix was mainly responsibleforFig.16–A

PP,it is the mobility and sliding of polymer chains which give rise to hysteretic heating phenomenon and subsequent temperature rise.To the extent that such movement of polymer chains is reduced by incorpor-ating fibers,hysteretic losses are reduced and consequently we observe a smaller temperature rise in LFT compared to unrein-forced PP.The other reason for the smaller rise in temperature in case of LFT vis-á-vis unreinforced PP is that the thermal conductivity of the LFT is higher than that of unreinforced PP. Although,glass fiber(thermal conductivity=1.3W/mK)is an insulator compared to metals,it is less insulating compared to polymers.Therefore,adding glass fibers to PP(thermal conductivity=0.12W/mK)increases the overall thermal conduc-tivity of LFT(0.32W/mK,calculated according to rule of mixtures) [3].Thus,the heat dissipation to the surroundings in LFT will be relatively faster compared to that in unreinforced PP.5.ConclusionsFiber orientation developed during processing played an important role in the fatigue and tensile properties of LFT. Longitudinal LFT showed better tensile and fatigue behavior than the transverse LFTs.An effect of cycling frequency on the fatigue life was also observed.Samples tested at lower frequency showed superior fatigue life as compared to the samples tested at higher frequency.This is because of the hysteretic heating taking place at high frequencies and also due to the lower thermal conductivity of the polymer matrix. At higher frequency less time was given for the heat dissipation to the surroundings which led to temperature rise and failure of the sample.Fiber pullout,fiber fracture,and matrix fracture were the energy-absorption mechanisms during tensile as well as fatigue testing.The relatively higher thermal conductivity of the LFT compared to that of unreinforced PP was responsible for faster heat dissipation to the surrounding.It was also verified that there was no significant contribution from interfacial sliding in the temperature rise of LFT.The temperature rise in the case of LFT was mainly due to the hysteretic heating characteristic of polymer matrix in response to cyclic loading.AcknowledgmentsFinancial support for this work was received from Federal Transit Administration(FTA),contract#AL-26-7022-02.
