In this paper, a multiscale approach has been developed for investigating the rate-dependent viscoplastic behavior of polymer matrix composites (PMCs) with thermal residual stress effect. The finite-volume direct averaging micromechanics (FVDAM), which effectively predicts nonlinear response of unidirectional fiber reinforced composites, is incorporated with improved Bodner–Partom model to describe the viscoplastic behavior of PMCs. The new micromechanical model is then implemented into the classical laminate theory, enabling efficient and accurate analysis of multidirectional PMCs. The proposed multiscale theory not only predicts effective thermomechanical viscoplastic response of PMCs but also provides local fluctuations of fields within composite microstructures. The deformation behaviors of several unidirectional and multidirectional PMCs with various fiber configurations are extensively simulated at different strain rates, which show a good agreement with the experimental data found from the literature. Influence of thermal residual stress on the viscoplastic behavior of PMCs is closely related to fiber orientation. In addition, the thermal residual stress effect cannot be neglected in order to accurately describe the rate-dependent viscoplastic behavior of PMCs.

AbstractThe practical work of adhesion has been measured in thin aluminum films as a function of film thickness and residual stress. These films were sputter deposited onto thermally oxidized silicon wafers followed by sputter deposition of a one micron thick W superlayer. The superlayer deposition parameters were controlled to produce either a compressive residual stress of 1 GPa or a tensile residual stress of 100 MPa. Nanoindentation testing was then used to induce delamination and a mechanics based model for circular blister formation was used to determine practical works of adhesion. The resulting measured works of adhesion for all films between 100 nm and 1 μm thick was 30 J/m2 regardless of superlayer stress. However, films with the compressively stressed superlayers produced larger blisters than films with tensile stressed superlayers. In addition, these films were susceptible to radial cracking producing a high variability in average adhesion values.

Abstract We experimentally and theoretically confirm that residual stress within a diaphragm is critical in limiting the performance of diaphragm-based piezoelectric microphones even if the stress is low (around 50 MPa). We have fabricated and studied microphones with Al/parylene/ZnO/SiN2/poly-Si/SiN1 (from top to bottom) diaphragm. As the SiN1 supporting layer is removed layer by layer from the backside with CF4 plasma (in an RIE system), we measure both the sensitivity and center displacement of the microphone before and after each RIE etching of the SiN1 from the microphone diaphragm, and find the sensitivity increasing about 5–16 times with the best sensitivity reaching 11 μV/μbar from a mere 0.6 μV/μbar. The center displacement increases very moderately as the SiN1 layer thickness decreases from 0.8 to 0.2 μm. However, the center displacement starts to increase greatly as the SiN1 layer thickness goes below 0.2 μm, which compares with our theoretical analysis well. In the case of the SiN1 layer having compressive residual stress, the compressive stress can enhance the microphone sensitivity and center displacement to a certain extent.

Residual stresses exist in welded structures due to thermal stresses. Without temperature change, large plastic deformation can result in “cold” residual stresses in a wrinkle or dent in a metallic pipe. For a crack in residual stress field, residual stresses might have strong effect on fracture parameter, the J-integral. In order to ensure its path-independence, different correction methods have been developed in consideration of residual stress effect. Recently, the finite element commercial software ABAQUS adopted one of the correction methods, and is able to calculate the residual stress corrected J-integral. A brief review is first given to the J-integral definition, the conditions of path-independence or path-dependence, and the modifications to consider the residual stress effect. A modified single edge-notched bend (SENB) specimen is then used, and a numerical procedure is developed for ABAQUS to evaluate the path-independence of the residual stress corrected J-integral. Detailed elastic-plastic finite element analyses are performed for the SENB specimen in three-point bending. The residual stress field, crack-tip stress field, and J-integral with and without consideration of residual stresses are discussed.

Quartz is an inexpensive raw material used in the production of porcelain tiles. The presence of quartz prevents pyroplastic deformation during sintering. However, the use of quartz particle size exceeding 32 µm has a deleterious effect on the flexural strength of porcelain tiles. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of microstructure and residual stress on the flexural strength of porcelain tiles formulated with different quartz particle sizes, within the range of 45 to 200 µm. The samples made of kaolin, feldspar and quartz were mixed in the ratio of 5:3:2 respectively, and die pressed at 40 MPa. Afterwards, the green body was sintered at 1300 0C for 2 hours at a rate of 60 0C/min. The microstructure of the sintered body was characterized by using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to examine the nature and size of the pores. In addition, the residual stress was evaluated based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) method and corroborated with SEM. The flexural strength was determined using three points loading method. The samples formulated with quartz particle size of 45 µm exhibited smooth granules, and isolated pores within the range of 3-8 µm. But, those with 200 µm particles size exhibited rough granules, and interconnected pores between 10-34 µm. Initially, there was an increase in the residual stress, but above 90 µm particle size, it decreased due to evolution of cracks.  Also, an increase in quartz particle size resulted in a decline in flexural strength from  to  MPa. These results show that increasing quartz particle size affected the pore morphology and the residual stresses. Therefore, fine quartz particle milling should be taken into account for further improvement of flexural strength.
