Modelling of Spall in an Anisotropic Aluminium Alloy

Spall caused by hypervelocity impacts at the lower range of velocities could result in significant damage to spacecraft. A number of polycrystalline alloys, used in spacecraft manufacturing, exhibit a pronounced anisotropy in their mechanical properties. The aluminium alloy AA 7010, whose orthotropy is a consequence of the meso-scale phase distribution or grain morphology, has been chosen for this investigation. The material failure observed in plate impact was simulated using a number of spall models. The Hugoniot elastic limit and spall strength have been studied as a function of orientation, and compared to experimental results.     

球轴承内圈剥落缺陷双冲击特征动力学建模

基于Hertz接触理论,以内圈滚道表面存在局部剥落的球轴承为研究对象,对球轴承局部剥落故障所激起的非线性激励机理进行研究,分析球轴承双冲击现象激励机理。将滚动体与球轴承内外圈非线性接触特性纳入考虑,提出时变位移激励与时变接触力激励相耦合的球轴承局部剥落双冲击现象动力学模型。研究中采用Runge-Kutta数值积分法求解该二阶非线性动力学微分方程,并对故障球轴承仿真信号进行双冲击时间间隔特征验证。在不同转速和内圈剥落尺寸条件下开展仿真与实验研究,通过仿真和实测信号的双冲击时间间隔与理论双冲击时间间隔对比分析,仿真信号的双冲击时间间隔与理论值对比的误差结果皆小于2%,与实测信号的双冲击时间间隔值对比的误差结果皆小于12%;同时,仿真信号与实测信号具有很好的相似性,从而验证了该动力学模型的有效性。
