Multiple slip dislocation patterning in a dislocation-based crystal plasticity finite element method

2018

Laue micro-diffraction and crystal plasticity finite element simulations to reveal a vein structure in fatigued Cu

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

The formation of a vein during cyclic shearing of a single copper crystal oriented for single slip can be followed in transmission Laue diffraction by analyzing the spatially resolved lattice rotation evolution. Because Laue transmission integrates the sig ...

Effect of pre-existing immobile dislocations on the evolution of geometrically necessary dislocations during fatigue

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

The role of pre-existing mobile and immobile dislocation densities on the evolution of geometrical necessary dislocation densities (GNDs) during cyclic fatigue in shear is studied using a continuum dislocation-based model incorporated in a crystal plastici ...

Following dislocation patterning during fatigue

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

Precursors of failure are dislocation mechanisms at the nanoscale and dislocation organization at the mesoscale responsible for long-range internal stresses and lattice rotation. Detailed information on the link between both scales is missing, computationa ...

Physics-based constitutive modelling for crystal plasticity finite element computation of cyclic plasticity in fatigue

Nicolò Grilli

Metal fatigue during cyclic loading puts an endurance limit on most of today's technology. It impacts the reliability of metallic components used for transportation, electronic devices and energy production because fatigue failure can occur without any app ...
