非局部网络型构形细观损伤驱动的准脆性随机介质材料断裂行为模拟

SIMULATION OF FRACTURE BEHAVIOR IN QUASI-BRITTLE RANDOM MEDIA DRIVEN BY MESOSCALE DAMAGE BY NONLOCAL NET-TYPE CONFIGURATION

  • 摘要: 混凝土材料具有多相性和不均匀性,由于内禀随机性和非线性的耦合,在外部荷载作用下混凝土表现出极其复杂的力学行为。迄今,混凝土结构受力全过程的失效行为预测仍是极具挑战性的问题。以积分几何为理论基础,通过引入宏观物质点特征尺度域内的细观构形,提出并发展了一类全新的两尺度一致性非局部宏-细观损伤模型。由于清晰的两尺度损伤演化机制与物理意义明确的几何-能量转换关系,非局部宏-细观损伤模型在刻画固体准脆性断裂失效过程中的强非线性行为方面独具优势。该文采用第二类随机谐和函数表征混凝土材料宏观特性的空间变异性,并结合具有网络型细观构形特征的非局部宏-细观损伤模型,提出了一种面向工程应用的材料随机断裂失效分析方法;将该模型应用于无初始缺陷及含不同初始裂纹尺寸的三点受弯梁和楔入劈裂试验的裂纹扩展模拟问题。计算结果表明:仅需引入单一随机场(弹性模量),该文所提方法即不仅可以模拟出裂纹扩展模式的随机游走和失效模式的转换,还能有效地捕捉到荷载-位移曲线(包括峰值荷载)的随机波动特征。无需预设断裂能或断裂韧度为输入参数,随机扩展的非局部宏-细观损伤模型计算结果直接给出了断裂能随初始缺口高度的演化曲线,其非定常特征与试验观测定性一致。

     

    Abstract: Concrete materials are inherently multiphase and heterogeneous. Owing to the coupling between intrinsic randomness and nonlinearity, concrete exhibits an extremely complex mechanical behavior under external loadings. Up to now, accurately predicting the failure behavior of concrete structures throughout their entire loading process remains a formidable challenge. Adopting the integral geometry as a theoretical foundation, a novel nonlocal macro-meso-scale consistent damage (NMMD) model has been proposed and further developed through introducing the meso-configuration within the characteristic scale domain of macroscopic material points. Owing to its clear mechanism of two-scale damage evolution and to the physically grounded geometry-energy conversion relationship, the NMMD model exhibits unique advantages in characterizing the strong nonlinearity of solid fracture failure. The current study employs the second-type stochastic harmonic function to characterize the spatial variability of concrete material properties, and, in conjunction with the NMMD model endowed with the net-type meso-configuration, develops a fracture analysis framework tailored for engineering applications. The model proposed is applied to simulate the crack propagation in three-point bending beams and in wedge splitting tests, both with initial notches of varying lengths and without an initial notch. The computational results demonstrate that: with only a single random field (Young’s modulus) introduced, the model proposed can not only reproduce the random wandering of crack paths and the transition of failure modes but also effectively capture the stochastic fluctuation of load-displacement curves, including the peak loads. Without prescribing fracture energy or fracture toughness as input parameters, the stochastic NMMD model directly yields the evolution of fracture energy with increasing the initial notch length; and its nonconstant characteristics are in a qualitative agreement with experimental observations.
