一种镍基单晶超合金高温低周疲劳的晶体取向相关性模型

在950℃t对[001]、[012]、[112]、[011]和[114]晶体取向的镍基单晶超合金DD3试样进行了对称循环低周疲劳(ICF)试验。应变率取1.0×10-2,1.33×10-3,0.33×10-3s-1.试验结果表明,LCF特性显着地取决于晶体取向和应变率。试样断口细观分析表明,除了[001]取向试样外,其余所有试样断口上均有明显的等间距疲劳纹。这些疲劳纹由微裂纹组成,其间距取决于试样的晶体取向和总应变范围。基于晶体滑移理论,建立了疲劳纹间距和总分切应变范围及取向和应变率函数的一个简单关系。对Lall-Chin-Pope(LCP)模型进行修正并推广应用于循环塑性和疲劳寿命研究,提出了一个晶体取向和应变率参数,该参数可以很好地描述镍基单晶超合金高温低周疲劳循环塑性和疲劳寿命的晶体取向和应变率相关性。

Computational Homogenisation of Polycrystalline Elastoplastic Microstructures at Finite Deformation

During sheet bulk metal forming processes both, flat geometries and three-dimensional structures change their shape significantly while undergoing large plastic deformations. As for forming processes, FE-simulations are often done before in situ experiments, a very accurate material model is required, performing well for a huge variety of different geometrical characteristics. Because of the crystalline nature of metals, anisotropies have to be taken into account. Macroscopically observable plastic deformation is traced back to dislocations within considered slip systems in the crystals causing plastic anisotropy on the microscopic and the macroscopic level. A finite crystal plasticity model is used to model the behaviour of polycrystalline materials in representative volume elements (RVEs) of the microstructure. A multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and plastic parts is performed, as well as a volumetric-deviatoric split of the elastic contribution. In order to circumvent singularities stemming from the linear dependency of the slip system vectors, a viscoplastic power-law is introduced providing the evolution of the plastic slips and slip resistances. The model is validated with experimental microstructural data under deformation. Through homogenisation and optimisation techniques, effective stress-strain curves are determined and can be compared to results from real forming processes leading to a suitable effective material model.

Variational Phase Field Modeling of Laminate Deformation Microstructure in Finite Gradient Crystal Plasticity

The macroscopic mechanical behavior of many materials crucially depends on the formation and evolution of their microstructure. In this work, we consider the formation and evolution of laminate deformation microstructure in plasticity. Inspired by work on the variational modeling of phase transformation [5] and building on related work on multislip gradient crystal plasticity [9], we present a new finite strain model for the formation and evolution of laminate deformation microstructure in double slip gradient crystal plasticity. Basic ingredients of our model are a nonconvex hardening potential and two gradient terms accounting for geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs) by use of the dislocation density tensor and regularizing the sharp interfaces between different kinematically coherent plastic slip states. The plastic evolution is described by means of a nonsmooth dissipation potential for which we propose a new regularization. We formulate a continuous gradient-extended rate-variational framework and discretize it in time to obtain an incremental-variational formulation. Discretization in space yields a finite element formulation which is used to demonstrate the capability of our model to predict the formation and evolution of laminate deformation microstructure in f.c.c. Copper with two active slip systems in the same slip plane. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

About the Microstructural Effects of Polycrystalline Materials and their Macroscopic Representation at Finite Deformation

In the sheet bulk metal forming field, the strict geometrical requirements of the workpieces result in a need of a precise prediction of the material behaviour. The simulation of such forming processes requires a valid material model, performing well for a huge variety of different geometrical characteristics and finite deformation. Because of the crystalline nature of metals, anisotropies have to be taken into account. Macroscopically observable plastic deformation is traced back to dislocations within considered slip systems in the crystals causing plastic anisotropy on the microscopic and the macroscopic level. A finite crystal plasticity model is used to model polycrystalline materials in representative volume elements (RVEs) of the microstructure. A multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient into elastic and plastic parts is performed, as well as a volumetric-deviatoric split of the elastic contribution. In order to circumvent singularities stemming from the linear dependency of the slip system vectors, a viscoplastic power-law is introduced providing the evolution of the plastic slips and slip resistances. The model is validated with experimental microstructural data under deformation. The validation on the macroscopic scale is performed through the reproduction of the experimentally calculated initial yield surface. Additionally, homogenised stress-strain curves from the microstructure build the outcome for a suitable effective material model. Through optimisation techniques, effective material parameters can be determined and compared to results from real forming processes. (© 2012 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Plastic deformation of bicrystals within continuum dislocation theory

We analyze the evolution of the plastic distortion and the nucleation and accumulation of dislocations within a model bicrystal with one active slip system in each single crystal (symmetric with respect to the interface), which is subject to prescribed displacements of plane–strain shear and extension, and we present closed–form analytical solutions.

Simulation of micro-cutting considering finite deformation crystal plasticity

Micro-machining processes on metalic microstructures are influenced by the crystal structure, i. e. the grain orientation. Furthermore, the chip formation underlies large deformations. To perform finite element simulations of micro-cutting processes, a large deformation material model is necessary in order to model the hyperelastic and finite plastic material behaviour. In the case of cp-titanium material with hcp-crystal structure the anisotropic behaviour must be considered by an appropriate set of slip planes and slip directions. In the present work the impact of the grain orientation on the plastic deformation is demonstrated by means of finite element simulations of a finite deformation single slip crystal plasticity model.

Application of nonlinear continuum dislocation theory to antiplane shear

We apply the nonlinear dislocation theory to the problem of antiplane constrained shear in a single crystal with one slip system. By taking dissipation into account, the relaxed energy functional has to be minimized. We show that, up to a threshold strain, no dislocations are nucleated and therefore the plastic slip is zero. Since this threshold value depends on the width of the specimen, a size effect takes place. The stress strain curve turns out to be a hysteresis loop exhibiting the work hardening due to the dislocation pile-up. It is shown that the Bauschinger effect holds true.

Configurational Forces in Crystal Plasticity

The surface morphology of micro machined surfaces depends on the heterogeneous microstructure. A crystal plasticity model is used to describe the plastic deformation in cp-titanium with its hcp crystal structure. Therefore the basal and prismatic slip systems are taken into account. Furthermore, self and latent hardening are considered. The rate dependency is motivated by a visco plastic evolution law. The cutting process of cp-titanium is modeled within the concept of configurational forces for a standard dissipative media. This framework is implemented into the finite element method. An example illustrates the effects of the microstructure on plastic deformation and configurational forces. (© 2013 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Nonlocal damage-viscoplastic model for high temperature creep of single crystal superalloys

A new nonlocal damage-viscoplastic model for high temperature creep of single crystal superalloys is developed. It is based on the variational formulation consisting of free energy, plastic and damage dissipation potentials. Evolution equations for plastic strain and damage variables are derived from the minimum principle for dissipation potentials [1]. The model is capable of describing different stages of creep in a unified way. The evolution of dislocation densities of gamma and gamma prime phases in superalloys incorporates plastic deformation. It results in the time-dependence of the creep rate in primary and secondary creep. Tertiary creep is taken into account by introducing local and nonlocal damage variables. Herein the nonlocal one is considered as numerical treatment to remove mesh-dependence. Numerical results and comparisons with experimental data of the single crystal superalloy LEK94 are shown.
