Identify the influence of microstructure on mesoscale creep and fatigue damage

This report describes the development of a microstructural model that can quantify the uncertainty in the observed rupture life of Grade 91 steel. The model is microstructural, meaning it relates microstructural characteristics of the material to the resulting material response. As such, one of the uses of this model is to identify the key microstructural parameters controlling the development of damage in Grade 91 operating at elevated temperatures. The report describes two veins of work: improvements to the crystal plasticity model required to run the uncertainty quantification analysis and the results of that UQ analysis. For creep, the model identifies the grain boundary diffusivity as the critical parameter controlling the rupture life of the material. The report demonstrates that a reasonable microstructural distribution of grain boundary diffusivity can account for the observed macroscale variation in rupture life at fixed temperature and load.
