材料三维微结构表征及其晶体塑性有限元模拟

材料的力学性能，尤其是在有限变形下所呈现的宏观各向异性，是材料结构设计和服役寿命考虑的关键因素。由于宏观模型不能较好地反映材料微观结构（晶粒的形貌和取向等）对宏观塑性各向异性的影响，因此，本文建立了能实际反映晶粒形貌的三维Voronoi模型，并基于晶体塑性理论对铝合金在有限变形下的响应进行计算。首先，建立反映材料微结构的代表性体积单元RVE模型进行计算，并与实验结果进行对比验证。然后，以单向拉伸为例，分析了有限变形过程中试件的晶粒形貌和取向分布等微观因素对宏观各向异性演化的影响，并从材料和结构两个层面讨论了微观结构对宏观力学性能的影响。结果表明，本文模型能够反映微观结构对宏观力学性能的影响，为实际生产制造领域构件的力学性能提供可靠的预测。     

表面微空洞长大和相互作用的晶体有限元分析

通过建立空洞长大和相互作用的3D模型,采用晶体塑性有限元模拟研究了FCC晶体表面空洞的长大和相互作用行为,分析了晶体取向和微空洞在表面的深度变化对表面空洞长大和相互作用的影响.模拟结果表明:晶体取向除了影响空洞形状和长大方向外,还会影响空洞长大速度;总体而言,在固定位移边界条件下硬取向晶粒表面的空洞长大和相互作用大于软取向.随着空洞在单晶体表面深度的增加,空洞周围的最大塑性变形增加,变形局部化更加严重,空洞长大速度增加.     

A micro mechanical study on failure initiation of dual phase steels under tension using single crystal plasticity model

Both experimental and numerical methods were employed to investigate the mechanism of failure in dual phase steels. The tensile test was interrupted in different steps to capture the mechanism of void initiation and void growth during material failure. The results can be considered as a first report for the commercial DP800 steel. Numerical simulations, which were carried out using the real micro-structure, are able to predict the void initiation in the material. In addition, through the numerical simulation a new understanding of the deformation localization was gained. Deformation localization, which causes severely deformed regions in the material, is most probably the main source of rupture in the final stages of the failure. In the SEM micrographs of the material after failure some voids are observable which can validate the results obtained by the simulation.
