Stress intensity factors of microstructurally small crack
Source abstract
Abstract
The stress intensity factor (SIF) is widely used for evaluating integrity of cracked components. Averaging the anisotropy of each crystal, the macroscopic behavior of polycrystalline materials is isotropic and homogenous in terms of elastic deformation. However, the anisotropic and/or inhomogeneous property influences on the stress field around a crack if the crack size is small in comparison with the grain. Thus, the SIF of the microstructurally small crack may differ from that in the isotropic body. In present study, the effect of anisotropic/inhomogeneous elasticity on the SIF is investigated by using the finite element analysis (FEA). At first, the SIFs of semi-circular crack in a single crystal and a polycrystalline material are calculated. These reveal that the magnitude of SIF is dependent not only on the crystal orientation but also on the deformation constraint by the neighboring crystals. Then, the statistical scatter of SIF due to the random orientation of crystal orientation in a polycrystal is examined by a Monte Carlo simulation.
