Stress partitioning and effective behavior of N-phase laminates in anisotropic elasticity from a fast explicit method
Résumé
In this work, a fast explicit method, easy to implement numerically, is proposed in order to compute the effective behavior and the distribution of stresses in a general N-phase laminate made of parallel, planar and perfectly bonded interfaces. The solutions are exact for a homogenous far-field loading and work for an arbitrary number of phases, a general linear anisotropic elasticity, as well as different uniform thermal and plastic strains in the phases. A simple direct analytical formula is also derived to compute the stress in a given phase once the effective behavior of the laminate is known. Moreover, the correctness of the proposed method is checked by comparisons with finite element simulation results on a same boundary value problem, showing excellent agreements. Finally, an application of the method is performed for a near-titanium alloy with elongated grains, by comparing the level of internal stresses for different elastic loadings within a N-phase laminate made of 100, 000 orientations and a 2-phase laminate of equal volume fraction with maximal elastic contrast. Interestingly, the maximum von Mises stress of the 2-phase laminate is always the lowest, which is explained by a volume fraction effect.
