Abstract

Abstract For metals under fatigue, microplastic strain localisation leads to the formation of discrete slip bands, which contributes to the initiation and propagation of short cracks. In this paper, a discrete slip band model is introduced to investigate the slip-controlled cyclic deformation and short crack growth in a single crystal alloy. In conjunction with crystal plasticity and normal factor-based critical resolved shear stress, finite element simulations demonstrated the success of the discrete model in describing orientation-dependent cyclic stress-strain responses. The proposed approach is also capable of predicting slip-controlled short crack growth, based on element deletion technique and individual cumulative shear strain criterion.
