Title: A micromechanical framework and modified self-consistent homogenization scheme for the thermoelasticity of porous bonded-particle assemblies

Abstract

Thermoelasticity of porous bonded-particle assemblies is modeled within a micromechanical framework that considers damage at the inter-particle interfaces. Connections between void space and interface damage are developed and incorporated into a modified self-consistent homogenization (M-SCH) scheme that includes a contribution to the mean strain field from local displacement discontinuities over interfacial void spaces. The M-SCH scheme is developed for particles of a general ellipsoidal shape with anisotropic elastic and thermal expansion properties. Two types of porosity are distinguished: (1) dispersed inter-particle porosity and (2) isolated porosity. A means of separating out the relative contributions of each type of porosity to the homogenization scheme is provided, and an explicit expression is obtained for an effective damaged interphase thickness as a function of the dispersed porosity and the particle morphology. Numerical examples are provided for quartz bonded-particle assemblies in order to examine the influence of the porosity type on the predicted elastic moduli. The model is also calibrated to the neutron diffraction measurements provided by Yeager et al. (2016) of triclinic TATB crystal lattice orientation (texture) and lattice strain induced under thermal loading. The model simulations of lattice strain are compared with the measurements, and the predicted statistical distributions of inter-particle displacementmore » discontinuities and contact tractions within the assembly are examined.« less
