Steel structures are designed to operate in an elastic domain, but sometimes plastic strains induce damage and fracture. Besides experimental investigation, a phase-field damage model (PFDM) emerged as a cutting-edge simulation technique for predicting damage evolution. In this paper, a von Mises metal plasticity model is modified and a coupling with PFDM is improved to simulate ductile behavior of metallic materials with or without constant stress plateau after yielding occurs. The proposed improvements are: (1) new coupling variable activated after the critical equivalent plastic strain is reached; (2) two-stage yield function consisting of perfect plasticity and extended Simo-type hardening functions. The uniaxial tension tests are conducted for verification purposes and identifying the material parameters. The staggered iterative scheme, multiplicative decomposition of the deformation gradient, and logarithmic natural strain measure are employed for the implementation into finite element method (FEM) software. The coupling is verified by the ‘one element’ example. The excellent qualitative and quantitative overlapping of the force-displacement response of experimental and simulation results is recorded. The practical significances of the proposed PFDM are a better insight into the simulation of damage evolution in steel structures, and an easy extension of existing the von Mises plasticity model coupled to damage phase-field.

From Aero Engines of the future it is demanded to provide more power, while the fuel consumption and the mass should decrease. In order to reach the goal of an increasing specific power or a decreasing specific mass, respectively, structural optimization methods, like the topology optimization, find their way into the design process to a greater extent. Additionally one is going to consider more and more fiber reinforced composites as a substitute for titanium alloys in the “cold” structure of the engine. Composite materials offer significant advantages especially concerning the specific mass and the adjustability of their stiffness properties. Unfortunately it is very difficult to predict damage and fracture of such orthotropic materials. The presentation will show the results of a topology optimization of the titanium intermediate-casing of a Rolls-Royce aero engine. Further on the material of the casing will be substituted by a carbon fiber reinforced composite. The fiber orientations and layer thicknesses of the composite are optimized under certain strength constraints, which are described by a modern fracture plane based failure criterion (NASA LaRC04 criterion [6]). Such a failure criterion has a lot of advantages compared to classical ones like Tsai-Hill, Tsai-Wu, ..., which e.g. do not distinguish between fiber and inter-fiber fracture and are therefore not able to predict the type of inter-fiber fracture. Finally the results of the optimization with the current material titanium will be compared to the results of the composite-made intermediate casing in terms of their load capacity and weight.
