Abstract
Crystal plasticity simulations of materials to assess the fatigue response on the microscale are becoming increasingly popular in industrial application. However, in the case of parts made from cast Ni-base superalloys, the amount of pores in a part combined with the fine spatial discretization around the pores needed due to strong mechanical gradients quickly leads to a computationally impractical number of mesh elements. In this paper we show an alternative to explicit crystal plasticity modeling of part-scale porosity by introducing a Monte-Carlo submodel that recombines the fatigue response of single pores predicted by crystal plasticity into the fatigue response of the pore agglomerate. The model can be applied in realtime due to the use of precomputed crystal plasticity results. We demonstrate that fatigue indicator parameters predicted by the Monte-Carlo submodel agree well with those predicted by explicit crystal plasticity simulations. Lastly, we apply the proposed model to study the influence of different porosity volume percentages, pore sizes and pore morphologies on the fatigue indicator parameters of a cast MAR-M247 superalloy.
期刊介绍:
Typical subjects discussed in International Journal of Fatigue address:
Novel fatigue testing and characterization methods (new kinds of fatigue tests, critical evaluation of existing methods, in situ measurement of fatigue degradation, non-contact field measurements)
Multiaxial fatigue and complex loading effects of materials and structures, exploring state-of-the-art concepts in degradation under cyclic loading
Fatigue in the very high cycle regime, including failure mode transitions from surface to subsurface, effects of surface treatment, processing, and loading conditions
Modeling (including degradation processes and related driving forces, multiscale/multi-resolution methods, computational hierarchical and concurrent methods for coupled component and material responses, novel methods for notch root analysis, fracture mechanics, damage mechanics, crack growth kinetics, life prediction and durability, and prediction of stochastic fatigue behavior reflecting microstructure and service conditions)
Models for early stages of fatigue crack formation and growth that explicitly consider microstructure and relevant materials science aspects
Understanding the influence or manufacturing and processing route on fatigue degradation, and embedding this understanding in more predictive schemes for mitigation and design against fatigue
Prognosis and damage state awareness (including sensors, monitoring, methodology, interactive control, accelerated methods, data interpretation)
Applications of technologies associated with fatigue and their implications for structural integrity and reliability. This includes issues related to design, operation and maintenance, i.e., life cycle engineering
Smart materials and structures that can sense and mitigate fatigue degradation
Fatigue of devices and structures at small scales, including effects of process route and surfaces/interfaces.
