Title: Microstructure-sensitive small fatigue crack growth assessment. Effect of strain ratio multiaxial strain state and geometric discontinuities

Abstract

Fatigue crack initiation in the high cycle fatigue regime is strongly influenced by microstructural features. Research efforts have usually focused on predicting fatigue resistance against crack incubation without considering the early fatigue crack growth after encountering the first grain boundary. However, a significant fraction of the variability of the total fatigue life can be attributed to growth of small cracks as they encounter the first few grain boundaries, rather than crack formation within the first grain. Our paper builds on the framework previously developed by the authors to assess microstructure-sensitive small fatigue crack formation and early growth under complex loading conditions. Moreover, the scheme employs finite element simulations that explicitly render grains and crystallographic directions along with simulation of microstructurally small fatigue crack growth from grain to grain. The methodology employs a crystal plasticity algorithm in ABAQUS that was previously calibrated to study fatigue crack initiation in RR1000 Ni-base superalloy. Our work present simulations with non-zero applied mean strains and geometric discontinuities that were not previously considered for calibration. Results exhibit trends similar to those found in experiments for multiple metallic materials, conveying a consistent physical description of fatigue damage phenomena.

An investigation into the multiaxial fatigue behavior of IMI 829 titanium alloy

Miscellaneous Gerbec, D E

This document studies the effect that multiaxial stress fields have on the fatigue behavior of IMI 829 titanium alloy, a material often used for compressor disks in gas turbine engines. Experimentation in this study has included the cyclic testing of rotating disk specimens of varying geometries as well as ASTM E-647 crack growth testing employing standard compact tension specimens. Fractographic and microstructural examinations were also conducted. It was observed that the disk specimens demonstrated lower crack growth rates for a given stress intensity range than did the compact tension specimens. This behavior was explained by considering the effect of themore »« less
Tailoring the Properties of a Ni-Based Superalloy via Modification of the Forging Process: an ICME Approach to Fatigue Performance

Journal Article Detrois, Martin ; Rotella, John ; Hardy, Mark ; ... - Integrating Materials and Manufacturing Innovation

Traditionally, material design and property modifications are usually associated with compositional changes. Yet, subtle changes in the manufacturing process parameters can also have a dramatic effect on the resulting material properties. In this work, an integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) framework is adopted to tailor the fatigue performance of a Ni-based superalloy, RR1000. An existing fatigue model is used to identify microstructural features that promote enhanced fatigue life, namely a uniform, fine grain size distribution, random orientation, a distinct grain boundary distribution (specifically high twin boundary density and limited low-angle grain boundaries). A deformation mechanism map and process models formore »« less

Intergranular Strain Evolution near Fatigue Crack Tips in Polycrystalline Metals

Journal Article Zheng, Lili ; Gao, Yanfei ; Lee, Sooyeol ; ... - Journal of the Mechanics and Physics of Solids

The deformation field near a steady fatigue crack includes a plastic zone in front of the crack tip and a plastic wake behind it, and the magnitude, distribution, and history of the residual strain along the crack path depend on the stress multiaxiality, material properties, and history of stress intensity factor and crack growth rate. An in situ, full-field, non-destructive measurement of lattice strain (which relies on the intergranular interactions of the inhomogeneous deformation fields in neighboring grains) by neutron diffraction techniques has been performed for the fatigue test of a Ni-based superalloy compact tension specimen.

Multi Resolution In-Situ Testing and Multiscale Simulation for Creep Fatigue Damage Analysis of Alloy 617

Technical Report Liu, Yongming ; Oskay, Caglar

This report outlines the research activities that were carried out for the integrated experimental and simulation investigation of creep-fatigue damage mechanism and life prediction of Nickel-based alloy, Inconel 617 at high temperatures (950° and 850°). First, a novel experimental design using a hybrid control technique is proposed. The newly developed experimental technique can generate different combinations of creep and fatigue damage by changing the experimental design parameters. Next, detailed imaging analysis and statistical data analysis are performed to quantify the failure mechanisms of the creep fatigue of alloy 617 at high temperatures. It is observed that the creep damage ismore »« less

PRISMS-Fatigue computational framework for fatigue analysis in polycrystalline metals and alloys

Journal Article Yaghoobi, Mohammadreza ; Stopka, Krzysztof S. ; Lakshmanan, Aaditya ; ... - npj Computational Materials

Abstract The PRISMS-Fatigue open-source framework for simulation-based analysis of microstructural influences on fatigue resistance for polycrystalline metals and alloys is presented here. The framework uses the crystal plasticity finite element method as its microstructure analysis tool and provides a highly efficient, scalable, flexible, and easy-to-use ICME community platform. The PRISMS-Fatigue framework is linked to different open-source software to instantiate microstructures, compute the material response, and assess fatigue indicator parameters. The performance of PRISMS-Fatigue is benchmarked against a similar framework implemented using ABAQUS. Results indicate that the multilevel parallelism scheme of PRISMS-Fatigue is more efficient and scalable than ABAQUS for large-scalemore »« less
