| Abstract |
In the present paper, we continue to study the nonlinear
constitutive relation (CR) between the stress and strain proposed in [1] to describe one-dimensional isothermal rheological processes in the case of monotone variation of the strain (in particular, relaxation, creep, plasticity, and superplasticity).
We show that this CR together with the strain fracture criterion (FC) leads to theoretical long-term strength curves (LSC) with the same qualitative properties as the typical experimental LSC of viscoelastoplastic materials. We propose two parametric families of fracture criteria in the case of monotone uniaxial strain, which are related to the strain fracture criterion (SFC) but take into account the strain increase history and the dependence of the critical strain on the stress. Instead of the current strain, they use other measures of damage related to the strain history by time-dependent integral operators. For any values of the material parameters, analytic studies of these criteria allowed us to find several useful properties, which confirm that they can be used to describe the creep fracture of different materials. In particular, we prove that, together with the proposed constitutive relations, these FC lead to theoretical long-term strength curves (TLSC) with the same qualitative properties as the experimental LSC. It is important that each of the constructed families of FC forms a monotone and continuous scale of criteria (monotonously and continuously depending on a real parameter) that contains the SFC as the limit case. Moreover, the criteria in the first family always provide the fracture time greater than that given by the SFC, the criteria in the second family always provide a smaller fracture time, and the difference can be made arbitrarily small by choosing the values of the control parameter near the scale end. This property is very useful in finding a more accurate adjustment of the model to the existing experimental data describing the fracture time dependence on the stress, temperature, radiation, and other factors: if these data are poorly described by the SFC, then one can choose a more appropriate criterion from the constructed families by varying the value of the control parameter smoothly and monotonously.
For any admissible values of the model determining parameters, we derive the TLSC corresponding to the proposed fracture criteria. Studying the dependence of their properties on the material function and on the material parameters of the CR and FC, we can state the requirements on the TLSC that follow from the general qualitative properties of experimental LSC of different viscoelastoplastic materials and obtain the corresponding restrictions on the material parameters and the model function. |
