Abstract
Plastic deformation of tempered lath martensitic steel (P91) is investigated with discrete dislocation plasticity method. Geometrically necessary dislocations (GND) are placed within an elastic crystal to model the effect of martensitic phase transformation. The optimized microstructure and formation of lath boundaries are investigated with discrete dislocation plasticity method. Slip system orientations and particles/inclusions such as and MX are considered to reveal their effects on lattice rotation and formation of lath size and boundary. Tension of optimized martensitic crystal is carried out to investigate the motion of lath boundary and the resultant lattice rotation. It is found that lattice rotates not only towards theoretical [101] direction but also to the opposite direction [100] in tension due to aggregation of dislocations, which is consistent with experimental results. Hall–Petch relation does not hold for low-angle-boundary laths, because block is the smallest unit with high-angle boundaries to determine the overall mechanical response. The role of slip system angle, source and obstacle densities on the global stress–strain behaviours are examined.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Mechanical Sciences (IJMS) serves as a global platform for the publication and dissemination of original research that contributes to a deeper scientific understanding of the fundamental disciplines within mechanical, civil, and material engineering.
The primary focus of IJMS is to showcase innovative and ground-breaking work that utilizes analytical and computational modeling techniques, such as Finite Element Method (FEM), Boundary Element Method (BEM), and mesh-free methods, among others. These modeling methods are applied to diverse fields including rigid-body mechanics (e.g., dynamics, vibration, stability), structural mechanics, metal forming, advanced materials (e.g., metals, composites, cellular, smart) behavior and applications, impact mechanics, strain localization, and other nonlinear effects (e.g., large deflections, plasticity, fracture).
Additionally, IJMS covers the realms of fluid mechanics (both external and internal flows), tribology, thermodynamics, and materials processing. These subjects collectively form the core of the journal's content.
In summary, IJMS provides a prestigious platform for researchers to present their original contributions, shedding light on analytical and computational modeling methods in various areas of mechanical engineering, as well as exploring the behavior and application of advanced materials, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials processing.
