Simulation of inter– and transgranular crack propagation in polycrystalline aggregates due to stress corrosion cracking
The motivation of the study is the development of a coupled approach able to account for the interaction between environment and plasticity in a polycrystalline material. The paper recalls first the constitutive equations used to describe the behaviour of the grain core and of the grain boundary (GB). The procedure that is applied to generate synthetic polycrystalline aggregates with an explici...
متن کاملGrain boundary separation in transgranular cleavage cracking
The energy balance associated with the transmission of cleavage front across high angle grain boundary is analysed theoretically. On the one hand, if the distance between adjacent breakthrough points is small, their crack trapping effect tends to be pronounced. On the other hand, decreasing this distance promotes the separation of persistent grain boundary areas. The effective grain boundary to...
متن کاملSimulation of Intergranular Ductile Cracking in β Titanium Alloys Based on a Micro-Mechanical Damage Model
The intergranular crack propagation of the lamellar structure β titanium alloys is investigated by using a modified Gurson-type damage model. The representative microstructure of the lamellar alloy, which consists of the soft α phase layer surrounding the hard grain interiors, is generated based on an advanced Voronoi algorithm. Both the normal fracture due to void growth and the shear fracture...
متن کاملNumerical micromechanical modelling of brittle polycrystalline materials
A generally applicable framework for generating a nite element mesh that is based on the actual micro-structure of a material is developed. The procedure is applied to a microscopic image of a ceramic material. Special attention is paid to the modelling of the interfaces between adjoining grains. Plane strain and plane stress nite element calculations are performed. The observed e ective consta...
متن کاملTransgranular liquation cracking of grains in the semi-solid state
Grain refinement via semi-solid deformation is desired to obtain superior mechanical properties of cast components. Using quantitative in situ synchrotron X-ray tomographic microscopy, we show an additional mechanism for the reduction of grain size, via liquation assisted transgranular cracking of semi-solid globular microstructures. Here we perform localized indentation of Al-15wt.%Cu globular...
