These stress intensities strongly influence the onset of nonlinear behaviors, such as plasticity and fatigue damage. One often overlooked source of heterogeneity is the crystal anisotropy and its resulting neighborhood effect. Previous research introduced a data-driven analytical model based on a cellular automaton (CA) to account for the neighborhood effect on a grain’s stress level within an infinite aggregate under elastic conditions. It was demonstrated that, in some rare specific cases, grains could experience stress levels twice as high as the applied load. The current work extends the CA model by incorporating the effects of a free surface. Randomly oriented polycrystals under uniaxial loading were studied using a regular aggregate structure (Kelvin structure), where all grains are considered spherical and of identical size. Compared to full-field simulations, the extended CA model demonstrated an excellent capability to capture heterogeneities, even in cases where high stress concentrations are generated by the neighborhood. By leveraging the model’s speed, a distribution function for grain stress levels was optimized to accurately capture the probability of extreme values. This allows for the estimation of the most likely highest stress within randomly oriented aggregates composed of billions of grains, along with its most probable localization relative to a free surface and the specific crystallographic configurations leading to it.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14112,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fatigue","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 108710"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142747484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is shown that the SRA not only leads to a decrease of compressive residual stresses but also to a decrease of cold work hardness at the surface. This shows that SRA is not an appropriate method to show the effect of the reduction of residual stresses in service of mechanical post weld treated weld seams since surface hardness is decreased as well.

The alloy displayed initial hardening followed by extensive cyclic softening until failure. It is observed that the presence of dislocation networks absorbs mobile dislocation, and the shearing of γ′ precipitates were responsible for cyclic softening at 1073 and 1123 K, whereas dissolution of γ′ precipitate and dislocation annihilation were responsible for cyclic softening at 1173 K. At elevated temperatures, the LCF behavior is significantly influenced by time-dependent processes such as dynamic strain aging (DSA), and oxidation. The occurrence of DSA manifests in the form of serrated plastic flow in stress–strain hysteresis loops, reduced half-life plastic strain amplitude, and increased cyclic work hardening. The alloy exhibits linear behavior in the Coffin-Manson (C-M) plot at 1073 and 1173 K. However, the C-M plot shows bi-linear behavior at 1123 K with the corresponding shift in the deformation mechanism at ± 0.5% strain amplitude.

Torsional fatigue tests were performed on two bainitic steels with banded microstructures comprised of soft and hard layers. The soft layers were coarse-grained with low Vickers hardness (<em>HV</em>), while the hard layers were fine-grained with high <em>HV</em>. Both materials possessed similar average <em>HV</em> values but differing band morphologies: a coarse band (CB) with <em>HV</em> = 329 and a fine band (FB) with <em>HV</em> = 314. Interestingly, the FB exhibited a 30 % higher fatigue strength than the CB. Through microscopic observations and finite element analysis, it was established that different fatigue strengths could be attributed to the particular width and array of the bands. The reticular band array in the FB steel raises crack initiation resistance due to the constraint of cyclic plastic deformation. In addition, the narrower spacing of hard layers can impede crack propagation when the extension mode transitions from shear mode to Mode I. In contrast, the columnar array and wider spacing of the bands in the CB steel are likely to provide weaker resistance to crack initiation and propagation, resulting in an inferior fatigue strength.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":14112,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Fatigue","volume":"192 ","pages":"Article 108714"},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-11-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142696608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
