Purpose The purpose of this paper is to apply the concept equivalent initial flaw size (EIFS) anisotropic nickel-based single crystal (SX) material, and predict fatigue life on basis. crack propagation law SX material at different temperatures weak correlation EIFS values verification under loading conditions are also investigated. Design/methodology/approach A three-parameter time (TTCI) method with multiple reference lengths established, which include TTCI backstepping fitting method....
Abstract This paper presents a crystal plasticity model to predict the tensile response and crack initiation in mixed ferrite‐martensite material with low volume fraction of pro‐eutectoid ferrite, representative welding‐induced intercritical heat‐affected zone. It is shown that small fractions ferrite can have significant effect on strength ductility depending grain orientation. For relatively “soft” grains, microcracks grow across interferrite ligaments damage accumulating leading reduction...
The objective of this paper is to clarify the nature equivalent gauge length miniaturized creep test methods. A mechanics-based approach was employed allow conventional uniaxial data be obtained from non-conventional tests, under steady-state creep. interpretation based on reference stress method. On basis, theoretical derivation lengths for a range miniature specimen types presented, including sub-size uniaxial, small punch, impression, rings, 2 bars, and bending beams plate. Then effect...
Failure in steel weldments operating at high temperatures often occurs the heat-affected zone adjacent to weld. Such failures can be a result of material inhomogeneity within and case tempered martensite steels have been linked with regions untransformed α (ferrite) phase or over-tempered intercritical region zone. In this work, two-dimensional Voronoi tessellation is used construct polygonal cells represent microstructure weld steel. The construction treated as representative volume element...
Welded joints in tempered 9Cr–1Mo operating at elevated temperatures are well known to be prone premature failure due cracking the heat-affected zone. This paper describes a crystal plasticity model predict microcrack initiation and evolution inter-critical zone of welded steel temperature. A finite element indicates that micro-cracks mostly nucleate prior austenite grain boundaries boundary clustered regions. Inter-granular trans-granular microcracking shown key predicted microdamage...
This paper presents a study on high temperature cyclic plasticity of welded P91 T-joint under internal pressure, in the context low cycle fatigue (HTLCF) performance such connections. In present work, attention is focused development multi-material model for plasticity, including effects different weld-related material zones, namely, parent metal, weld metal and heat-affected zone. The behaviour three zones identified from previously-published temperature, test results uniaxial specimens,...
