Abstract

Close
- In a composite material a soft, ductile matrix can be confined by a hard, brittle phase, altering its deformation and fracture behavior. Increasing confinement leads to embrittlement of the matrix and, in turn, also the composite. From a materials design perspective, it is usually desired to avoid brittle fracture without compromising the hardness of the material. Understanding confined ductile fracture is therefore critical for modeling the mechanical response of composite materials with fine microstructure. The present work is focused on confined ductile fracture of a thin ductile film, with elasto-plastic power-law hardening behavior, sandwiched between ideal linear elastic substrates. Fracture of the ductile layer is modeled by growth and coalescence of prescribed voids in 2D. Influences of material properties, initial void volume fraction, geometric constraints and elastic mismatch are investigated. The results show a loss of ductility with decreasing film thickness that is accompanied by a severe decrease in fracture initiation toughness as well as an increased stress at the interface. The influence of materials properties is significant in all cases while the effect of initial void volume fraction is comparatively less critical for highly confined materials than for bulk materials. Increasing confinement also results in increasing normal stress at the phase interface, promoting interface decohesion prior to ductile fracture of the film. The present approach and results are a step towards more detailed prediction of composite fracture toughness and crack-growth resistance.
