蠕变纤维网络的拉伸力学:界面分层、屈曲和损伤的影响
Paper products, like tissue paper, are composed of bonded wood fiber networks. Dry creping is an industrial process used in tissue manufacturing. In this process, a wet paper sheet (web) is adhered to a high-speed metal dryer (substrate). The dried sheet is then scraped off against a stationary metal blade, leading to web-substrate debonding, sheet folding, and damage caused by the rupture of interfiber bonds. This process creates a microfolded structure, leading to a nonlinear tensile response and high failure strain, while sheet-damage results in sheet de-densification (through thickness explosion). Based on the visualized creped structures, creped sheets are classified as shaped-bulk (folding-dominated) or explosive-bulk (damage-dominated). While factors affecting sheet-folding have been studied extensively, the effects of sheet-damage on structural and tensile properties have not been previously studied. Using a Discrete Element Method (DEM) to model low grammage fiber networks, we simulate creping with a bilinear elastoplastic fiber model. We demonstrate that altering sheet–substrate bond (adhesive) properties relative to interfiber bonds shifts creping from shaped-bulk to explosive-bulk. Signatures of the above two creping modes are identified. Shaped-bulk sheets exhibit fewer interfiber bond ruptures, a higher degree-of-folding (waviness), and a less through-thickness explosion, while explosive-bulk sheets show the opposite traits. During tensile deformation, bending dominates initially, followed by an increased axial deformation near failure as unfolding occurs. The transition from shaped-bulk to explosive-bulk creping shows an initial increase in stiffness followed by a decline, and a gradual then rapid, decrease in tensile strength.
纸制品,如薄纸,是由粘合的木纤维网络组成的。干起皱是一种用于纸巾制造的工业过程。在此过程中,湿纸(卷筒纸)粘附到高速金属烘干机(基材)上。然后用固定的金属刀片刮掉干燥后的薄片,导致纤维网基材脱粘、薄片折叠以及纤维间键断裂造成的损坏。该过程产生微折叠结构,导致非线性拉伸响应和高失效应变,而板材损伤导致板材脱致密(通过厚度爆炸)。基于可视化的蠕变结构,将蠕变薄板分为形状块状(褶皱为主)和爆炸块状(损伤为主)两类。虽然影响薄板折叠的因素已被广泛研究,但薄板损伤对结构和拉伸性能的影响尚未得到研究。利用离散元法(DEM)对低克重纤维网络进行建模,采用双线性弹塑性纤维模型模拟蠕变。我们证明,相对于纤维间键,改变板-基板键(胶粘剂)特性可以将蠕变从形状块状转变为爆炸性块状。识别了上述两种蠕变模式的特征。形状块状片状材料纤维间键断裂较少,折叠度(波纹度)较高,穿透厚度爆炸较少,而爆炸块状片状材料则表现出相反的特征。在拉伸变形期间,弯曲最初占主导地位,其次是随着展开发生而增加的轴向变形。从形块蠕变到爆块蠕变的转变表现为刚度先上升后下降,抗拉强度先逐渐下降后迅速下降。

将刚性球体与膜分离的通用拉离力
A pull-off force Fc is required to separate two objects in adhesive contact. For a rigid sphere on an elastic slab, the classic Johnson–Kendall–Roberts (JKR) theory predicts Fc = 3/2πγR_s, where γ represents the interface adhesion or toughness and R_s is the radius of the sphere. Here, we investigate an alternative, extreme scenario: the pull-off force required to detach a rigid, frictionless sphere from a thin membrane, a scenario observed in a wide range of nature and engineering systems, such as nanoparticles on cell membranes, atomic force microscopy probes on atomically thin 2D material sheets, and electronic devices on flexible films. We show that, within the JKR framework, the pull-off forces in axisymmetric soap films, linearly elastic membranes, and nonlinear hyperelastic membranes are all given by Fc = πγR_s. This result is remarkable as it indicates that the pull-off force for membranes is independent of the material’s constitutive law, size, pretension, and solid surface tension.
要将两个处于粘性接触的物体分开,需要一个拉脱力 Fc。对于刚性球体与弹性平板之间的接触,经典的约翰逊 - 肯德尔 - 罗伯茨(JKR)理论预测 Fc = 3/2πγR_s,其中γ表示界面的粘附力或韧性,R_s 是球体的半径。在此,我们研究另一种极端情况:将一个刚性、无摩擦的球体从薄膜上拉脱所需的拉脱力,这种情况在自然界和工程系统中广泛存在,例如细胞膜上的纳米颗粒、原子力显微镜探针在原子级薄的二维材料片上,以及柔性薄膜上的电子器件。我们表明,在 JKR 框架内,轴对称肥皂膜、线性弹性膜和非线性超弹性膜的拉脱力均由 Fc = πγR_s 给出。这一结果令人瞩目,因为它表明膜的拉脱力与材料的本构定律、尺寸、预张力和固体表面张力无关。

从弯曲到拉伸驱动非均质胶粘剂的剥离
We study theoretically the peeling behavior of adhesives. Adopting a fracture mechanics approach, we derive the equation of motion of the adhesion front propagating at the interface between the adhesive and the substrate from which the peel strength is inferred. The originality of our approach lies in the description of the interplay during peeling between the stretching and the bending modes of deformation of the adhesive that is described as a Föppl-Von Karman’s thin film. Considering first a straight adhesion front, we retrieve the most salient feature of homogeneous adhesives, namely a peeling angle dependent peel strength driven by bending at large angles and by stretching at low angles. We also derive the shape of the adhesive that can be described using a single bending length scale derived from our model. We then investigate the impact of adhesion heterogeneities. We evidence that the deformations of the adhesion front are governed by a non-local interface elasticity the strength of which decreases with the peeling angle. This phenomenon reflects the transition between a stretching dominated peeling at low angle to a bending driven peeling at large angles that is captured in our model. This transition impacts the stability of adhesive fronts that relaxe more slowly from perturbations and gives rise to a stronger toughening effect in presence of a disorder distribution of adhesion energy at low peeling angles. Overall, this study sheds light on the central role played the elastic deformations of adhesives on their peeling behavior. The proposed framework unfolds the complex interplay between the deformation of adhesives and the peeling driving force that may be leveraged to engineer heterogeneous adhesives with enhanced properties. It also provides rich insights on the mechanisms underlying the emergence of non-local elasticity in interface problems.
从理论上研究了胶粘剂的剥离行为。采用断裂力学的方法,推导了在胶粘剂与基材界面处传播的粘接锋的运动方程,并由此推断剥离强度。我们方法的独创性在于描述了在剥离过程中拉伸和弯曲变形模式之间的相互作用,这种模式被描述为Föppl-Von卡门薄膜。首先考虑直粘合面,我们检索了均匀粘合剂的最显著特征,即剥离角度依赖于剥离强度,剥离强度由大角度弯曲和低角度拉伸驱动。我们还推导出胶粘剂的形状,可以使用从我们的模型导出的单一弯曲长度尺度来描述。然后我们研究了粘附异质性的影响。结果表明,粘附面变形受非局部界面弹性控制,其强度随剥离角度的增大而减小。这种现象反映了在我们的模型中捕获的低角度拉伸主导剥离到大角度弯曲驱动剥离之间的过渡。这种转变影响了粘接前沿的稳定性,使其从扰动中松弛得更慢,并且在低剥离角度下粘接能量的无序分布会产生更强的增韧效果。总的来说,本研究揭示了胶粘剂弹性变形对其剥离行为的核心作用。提出的框架揭示了胶粘剂变形和剥离驱动力之间复杂的相互作用,可以利用这种相互作用来设计具有增强性能的异质胶粘剂。它还为界面问题中非局部弹性产生的机制提供了丰富的见解。

折痕角和缺陷对薄膜拉伸性能的影响
In this study, the mechanical behavior of creased membrane structures under uniaxial tensile tests is investigated after deployment, focusing on the effects of crease formation, crease angles, and induced defects. The results show that crease introduction reduces the fracture strain, although the fracture strength of creased and uncreased membranes remains similar. Moreover, the local elastic modulus of the creased region along the unfolding direction is found to be 69.5% of that of an ideal pure membrane based on the determination of crease influence width. The analysis of crease angle reveals that both fracture strength and strain increase with crease angle. For membranes with a 90°crease, the fracture strength is about 10.9% higher than that of the membrane with a horizontal crease. The elastic modulus in the direction of crease extension and shear modulus can be determined and verified through mechanical testing and finite element analysis of the angled creased membranes, forming an orthotropic elastic parameter model for the creased region. Finally, the introduction of circular holes of various sizes as geometric defects significantly affects wrinkle distribution and out-of-plane deformation, while notably reducing fracture strain and fracture stress, with the impact on fracture strain being particularly pronounced. This study offers crucial insights into the design of creased membranes, particularly for aerospace and space exploration, where performance under complex loading and defects is critical.
在这项研究中,折痕膜结构在展开后的单轴拉伸试验下的力学行为进行了研究,重点研究了折痕形成、折痕角度和诱导缺陷的影响。结果表明,褶皱的引入降低了断裂应变,但褶皱膜和未褶皱膜的断裂强度基本相同。此外,在确定折痕影响宽度的基础上,折痕区沿展开方向的局部弹性模量为理想纯膜的69.5%。对折痕角的分析表明,随着折痕角的增加,断裂强度和应变均增加。对于具有90°折痕的膜,其断裂强度比具有水平折痕的膜高10.9%左右。通过对有角度折痕膜的力学试验和有限元分析,可以确定并验证折痕延伸方向的弹性模量和剪切模量,形成折痕区域的正交各向异性弹性参数模型。最后,引入不同尺寸的圆孔作为几何缺陷,显著影响褶皱分布和面外变形,同时显著降低断裂应变和断裂应力,其中对断裂应变的影响尤为显著。这项研究为折痕膜的设计提供了重要的见解,特别是在航空航天和太空探索领域,在复杂载荷和缺陷下的性能至关重要。

具有中高层错能的化学复杂合金中平衡强度和延性的有希望的途径
Emerging chemically complex alloys (CCAs) with medium-to-high stacking fault energies (SFEs) offer significant potential as advanced materials, yet achieving the balance between strength and ductility remains challenging. This study explores the strategic control of partial recrystallization in Al8.3Co16.7Cr13.3Fe16.7Ni41.7V3.3 CCAs to engineer micron-scale heterogeneous structures featuring unevenly distributed L12 nanoprecipitates. The optimized microstructure comprises finely recrystallized regions with high-angle grain boundaries (HAGBs), coarsely unrecrystallized regions with low-angle grain boundaries (LAGBs), and deformation-defect-rich transition (DDRT) zones where both grain boundary types coexist. This architecture enables synergistic strengthening mechanisms, including grain boundary strengthening, precipitation strengthening, dislocation strengthening, and hetero-deformation-induced (HDI) strengthening, resulting in an exceptional yield strength of up to 1623 MPa. During plastic deformation, the dislocation pile-up and accumulation aided by interactions with nanoprecipitates and GBs balance strain softening caused by shear band propagation, leading to relatively low but steady work-hardening rates (WHRs). As deformation progresses, increasingly complex interactions further promote the formation of pronounced dislocation pile-ups, multiplication, SFs, L-C lock networks, and the 9R phase transformation within DDRT zones, collectively contributing to continuous WHRs. As a result of these synergistic mechanisms, the material achieves an ultimate tensile strength of ∼1700 MPa and a total elongation of ∼17.2%, demonstrating enhanced ductility without sacrificing strength. This work highlights the potential of localized DDRT zones to enable controlled phase transformations in CCAs with medium-to-high SFEs, providing a promising pathway for designing high-performance materials.
新兴的具有中高层错能(sfe)的化学复杂合金(CCAs)为先进材料提供了巨大的潜力,但实现强度和延性之间的平衡仍然具有挑战性。本研究探讨了Al8.3Co16.7Cr13.3Fe16.7Ni41.7V3.3 CCAs中部分再结晶的策略控制,以设计具有不均匀分布L12纳米沉淀物的微米级非均相结构。优化后的显微组织包括具有高角度晶界的精细再结晶区(HAGBs)、具有低角度晶界的粗未再结晶区(LAGBs)以及两种晶界类型共存的富含变形缺陷的过渡区(DDRT)。这种结构可以实现协同强化机制,包括晶界强化、沉淀强化、位错强化和异质变形诱导(HDI)强化,从而产生高达1623 MPa的特殊屈服强度。在塑性变形过程中,位错的堆积和积累与纳米沉淀和gb的相互作用平衡了剪切带扩展引起的应变软化,导致相对较低但稳定的加工硬化速率(whr)。随着变形的进行,越来越复杂的相互作用进一步促进了DDRT区域内明显的位错堆积、倍增、SFs、L-C锁网和9R相变的形成,共同促成了连续的whr。由于这些协同机制,该材料的极限抗拉强度达到~ 1700 MPa,总伸长率达到~ 17.2%,在不牺牲强度的情况下表现出增强的延展性。这项工作强调了局部DDRT区域的潜力,可以在具有中高sfe的cca中实现可控相变,为设计高性能材料提供了一条有前途的途径。

非周期元结构中的准各向同性和方向自由的拓扑解
Traditional periodic designs are susceptible to catastrophic failure under external loads, with optimal performance limited to specific directions and poor performance in others. In complex modern operational environments, metastructures with stable and isotropic responses are increasingly critical. This study integrates non-periodic tiling rules into structural design to enhance structural stability and achieve direction-independent mechanical properties. As a proof of concept, the performance of non-periodic metastructures (NSF, NDK, NST) is investigated experimentally and numerically, with comparisons to the periodic structure (PS). The results demonstrate that non-periodic metastructures maintain stable load-bearing capacity under high strain. Specifically, while PS experience a 87 % reduction in stress during compression, non-periodic metastructures exhibit a reduction of less than 25 %. Furthermore, non-periodic metastructures display quasi-isotropic behaviour, with mechanisms such as multi-path stress dissipation, dynamic adaptability, and macro-averaging effect revealed through validated numerical models. The anisotropy factor (P) of non-periodic metastructures remains below 0.4 across various mechanical properties, significantly lower than that of PS. To achieve near-perfect isotropy, a flexible performance compensation strategy based on the peak-shaving and valley-filling principle is proposed, reducing P to below 0.1. This work presents an innovative design paradigm for multifunctional structures, offering novel perspectives on structural optimization and application.
传统的周期性设计在外载荷作用下容易发生灾难性失效,其最佳性能仅限于特定方向,而在其他方向则表现不佳。在复杂的现代作战环境中,具有稳定和各向同性响应的元结构变得越来越重要。本研究将非周期性的平铺规则整合到结构设计中,以增强结构稳定性,实现与方向无关的力学性能。为了证明这一概念,对非周期元结构(NSF, NDK, NST)的性能进行了实验和数值研究,并与周期结构(PS)进行了比较。结果表明,非周期性元结构在高应变下保持稳定的承载能力。具体来说,虽然PS在压缩过程中应力降低了87%,但非周期性元结构的应力降低幅度不到25%。此外,非周期元结构表现出准各向同性行为,通过验证的数值模型揭示了多径应力耗散、动态适应性和宏观平均效应等机制。非周期性元结构的各向异性因子(P)在各种力学性能上均低于0.4,显著低于PS。为了实现近乎完美的各向异性,提出了一种基于削峰填谷原理的柔性性能补偿策略,将P降至0.1以下。本研究提出了一种创新的多功能结构设计范式,为结构优化和应用提供了新的视角。
