摘要: 低熔点金属的层裂是目前延性金属动态断裂的基础科学问题之一。采用非平衡态分子动力学方法模拟了冲击压力在13.5~61.0 GPa下单晶和纳米多晶锡的经典层裂和微层裂过程。研究结果表明:在加载阶段,冲击速度不影响单晶模型中的波形演化规律,但影响纳米多晶模型中的波形演化规律,其中经典层裂中晶界滑移是影响应力波前沿宽度的重要因素;在单晶模型中,经典层裂和微层裂中孔洞成核位置位于高势能处;在纳米多晶模型中,经典层裂中的孔洞多在晶界(含三晶界交界处)处成核,并沿晶定向长大,产生沿晶断裂,而微层裂中孔洞在晶界和晶粒内部成核,导致沿晶断裂、晶内断裂和穿晶断裂;孔洞体积分数呈现指数增长,相同冲击速度下单晶和纳米多晶Sn孔洞体积分数变化规律一致;经典层裂中孔洞体积分数曲线的两个转折点分别表示孔洞成核与长大的过渡和材料从损伤到断裂的灾变性转变。Abstract: One of the fundamental scientific problems of dynamic fracture of ductile metals is spallation of low melting point metals. The classical spallation and micro-spallation of single-crystal (SC) and nanocrystal (NC) tin were carried out using the non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) at shock pressures of 13.5−61.0 GPa. In order to achieve the spallation in the SC and NC models, the piston-target method was utilized. Specifically, the rigid piston was assigned an initial velocity, then the piston impacted the target to generate stress wave, and the stress waveform was controlled by adjusting the loading time after the length of the model along the shock direction was determined. The simulation results show that: during the loading stage, the shock wave velocity has no influence on the waveform evolution of the SC Sn model, but it does have an effect on the waveform evolution of the NC Sn model, in which the front width of the stress wave in classical spallation of the NC Sn model is mainly affected by grain boundary sliding. The void nucleation sites in classical spallation and micro-spallation are found at high potential energies in the SC model. In the NC model, for the classic spallation, voids mostly nucleate at grain boundaries (including the triple junctions of the grain boundaries) and grow along grain boundaries, resulting in intergranular fractures; for the micro-spallation, voids nucleate at the grain boundary and inside the grain, resulting in intergranular fracture, intragranular fracture, and transgranular fracture. The void volume fraction increases exponentially, and the variation law of void volume fraction of SC and NC Sn is the same under the same impact velocity. The two turning points of the void volume fraction curve in classical spallation represent the transition from nucleation to growth and the catastrophic transition from damage to fracture.
