Определение динамических напряжений и перемещений при действии ударной нагрузки на двухслойную конструкцию в процессе индентирования

Introduction. Numerous researchers of the reliability of building structures pay attention to hardness, an important characteristic of the structural material. It is determined by indentation - pressing the tip of the tool into the surface. The advantages of dynamic indentation methods and the distribution of stress intensity on the surface and inside the sample are investigated. However, the condition of layered materials on impact has been poorly studied. The objective of the presented work is to consider indentation for a two-layer sample and determine the sensitivity of the top layer to the strength of the substrate. This will allow us to identify significant characteristics of the strength properties of homogeneous and heterogeneous structures.Materials and Methods. An elastoplastic model of material behavior and a shock indentation scheme were used, which took into account the masses of the indenter and the striker coupled by linear springs. The surface of the indenter was conical, the opening angle was 120°. The impact was simulated in the MATLAB system. Finite element model in Ansys APDL was used to verify the data and analyze the results of the experiment. Traditional models of elasticity theory were used for calculations. The behavior of the material in the zone of plastic deformation was described using the options of multilinear isotropic hardening and the von Mises plasticity criterion.Results. The results of comparing three versions of varying the level of yield strength in the bottom layer are presented: when the yield strength in the bottom layer is half as high as the top one, equal to it, and twice as high. Displacements at different observation points for samples with a top layer of 2 mm and 1 mm were analyzed. In the first case, under horizontal shear, the displacement indices inside the sample did not change if the yield strength level was twice lower or higher than in the top one. If these indicators were equal, the difference became noticeable. In the second case (layer 1 mm), the difference in displacement was visible at all observation points. Thus, it can be reasonably concluded that a structure with a smaller top layer is more sensitive to impact. In the course of the research, it became known that vibrations associated with the transition to the plasticity zone occurred in the 2 mm zone, and elastic damping vibrations occurred below this zone. We solved the classification problem for the top layer of the material with changing characteristics of the base. The indicator for comparison was the Brinell hardness (HB) in the range of 200-600. The results were processed using a neural network and visualized in the form of graphs. The accuracy of its calculations was 98%.Discussion and Conclusion. To determine the strength properties of homogeneous structures, it is sufficient to characterize the speed of displacement inside the sample. For an inhomogeneous structure, additional parameters should be introduced - displacements on the surface and inside the sample at fixed observation points. An integrated approach to determining the strength properties of an inhomogeneous structure improves the accuracy of calculations, and the use of neural networks increases their speed.
