A framework of integrated creep-fatigue (ICF) modeling is proposed based on the deformation decomposition rule that the total inelastic strain (in a polycrystalline material) consists of intragranular deformation (ID) and grain boundary sliding (GBS). With consideration of the respective deformation mechanisms, the resulting constitutive laws are given in 3D tensor forms such that fatigue damage (ID) and creep damage (GBS) are represented in different strain spaces, respectively. Then, the creep-fatigue life consumption can be evaluated using a physics-based formula that captures the intricate interaction between a propagating fatigue crack and distributed creep damage, leading to final fracture.

AbstractThe friction behavior of metals is directly linked to the mechanisms that accommodate deformation. We examine the links between mechanisms of strengthening, deformation, and the wide range of friction behaviors that are exhibited by shearing metal interfaces. Specifically, the focus is on understanding the shear strength of nanocrystalline and nanostructured metals, and conditions that lead to low friction coefficients. Grain boundary sliding and the breakdown of Hall–Petch strengthening at the shearing interface are found to generally and predictably explain the low friction of these materials. While the following is meant to serve as a general discussion of the strength of metals in the context of tribological applications, one important conclusion is that tribological research methods also provide opportunities for probing the fundamental properties and deformation mechanisms of metals.

Nozzle Guide

Nozzle guide vanes (NGV) of gas turbine engines are the first components to withstand the impingement of hot combustion gas and therefore often suffer thermal fatigue failures in service. A lifting analysis is performed for the NGV of a gas turbine engine using the integrated creep–fatigue theory (ICFT). With the constitutive formulation of inelastic strain in terms of mechanism-strain components such as rate-independent plasticity, dislocation glide-plus-climb, and grain boundary sliding (GBS), the dominant deformation mechanisms at the critical locations are thus identified quantitatively with the corresponding mechanism-strain component. The material selection scenarios are discussed with regards to damage accumulated during take-off and cruise. The interplay of those deformation mechanisms in the failure process is elucidated such that an “optimum” material selection solution may be achieved.

Creep Fatigue Crack

A structural test and evaluation on creep-fatigue damage, and creep-fatigue crack initiation have been carried out for a Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steel structural specimen with weldments. The conservatisms of the design codes of ASME Section III subsection and NH and RCC-MR codes were quantified at the welded joints of Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel and 316L stainless steel with the observed images from the structural test. In creep damage evaluation using the RCC-MR code, isochronous curve has been used rather than directly using the creep law as the RCC-MR specifies. A y-shaped steel specimen of a diameter 500mm, height 440mm and thickness 6.35mm is subjected to creep-fatigue loads with two hours of a hold time at 600°C and a primary nominal stress of 30MPa. The defect assessment procedures of RCC-MR A16 guide do not provide a procedure for Mod.9Cr-1Mo steel yet. In this study application of σd method for the assessment of creep-fatigue crack initiation has been examined for a Mod. 9Cr-1Mo steel structure.

Deformation mechanisms occurring by tension of ultrafine-grained aluminum processed by equal-channel angular pressing at room temperature are investigated using comparative study of the microstructure before and after tensile testing as well as deformation relief on the pre-polished surface of the sample tested. Deformation behavior and structure evolution during tension suggest development of grain boundary sliding in addition to intragrain dislocation slip. Contribution grain boundary sliding to the overall deformation calculated using the magnitude of shift of grains relative to each other is found to be ~40%.

Creep Fatigue

Proposals for high temperature design methods have been developed for primary loads, creep-fatigue and strain limits. The methodologies rely on a common basis and assumption, that elastic, perfectly plastic analysis based on appropriate properties reflects the ability of loads and stress to redistribute for steady and cyclic loading for high temperature as well as for conventional design. The cyclic load design analyses rely on a further key property, that a cyclic elastic-plastic solution provides an upper bound to displacements, strains and local damage rates. The primary load analysis ensures that the design load is in equilibrium with the code allowable stress, taking into account: i) The stress state dependent (multi-axial) rupture criterion, ii) The limit to stress re-distribution defined by the material creep law. The creep-fatigue analysis is focused on the cyclic creep damage calculation, and uses conventional fatigue and creep-fatigue damage calculations. It uses a temperature-dependent pseudo “yield” stress defined by the material yield and rupture data to identify cycles which will not cause creep damage > 1 for the selected life. Similarly the strain limits analysis bounds cyclic strain accumulation. It also uses a temperature-dependent pseudo “yield” stress defined by the material yield and creep strain accumulation data to identify cycles which will not cause average (membrane) inelastic strain > 1% for the design life. The paper gives an overview of the background and justification of these statements, and examples.

Deformation mechanisms of Mg89Zn4Y7 (at.%) extruded alloy, which is mostly composed of LPSO-phase, was investigated focusing on their temperature dependence. The yield stress of as-extruded alloy showed extremely high value of ~480 MPa at RT, but it largely decreased to ~130 MPa at 300 °C. The decreasing rate of the yield stress could be significantly reduced, however, by the annealing of specimen at 400 °C, by suppressing the microyielding which is considered to occur related by the grain boundary sliding in restricted regions. The yield stress of the annealed specimens with random textures could be estimated by the Hall-Petch relationship by regarding the length of long-axis of plate-like grains as a grain size between RT and 300 °C. The yield stress of the annealed specimens maintained high values even at 200°C, but it also showed large decreases at 300 °C.
