Abstract: | We describe a finite element method designed to model the mechanisms that cause superplastic deformation. Our computations account for grain boundary sliding, grain boundary diffusion, grain boundary migration, and surface diffusion, as well as thermally activated dislocation creep within the grains themselves. Front tracking and adaptive mesh generation are used to follow changes in the grain structure. The method is used to solve representative boundary value problems to illustrate its capabilities. |
