... are caused by a decrease of radiation defects at the partial region. In this study, in order to predict increase of flow stress due to irradiation, information of density of radiation defects is introduced into a hardening modulus of crystal plasticity. Moreover, a decrease of the work-hardening ratio...

... to predict the deformation response of Ni-base superalloys. The attributes of crystal viscoplasticity models necessary for predicting the creepfatigue deformation are identi ed. Several new developments in constitutive modeling of Ni-base superalloys are discussed. KEYWORDS: crystal plasticity, Ni-base...

... that may control the fatigue behavior are explicitly modeled in a 41xxx steel. The methodology is demonstrated by studying the role of an aluminum oxide inclusion embedded in a matrix of tempered martensite and retained austenite. The matrix is represented by crystal plasticity, which provides more...

... used extensively for predicting the brittle fracture of ferritic RPV steels. The approaches developed combine the crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) with continuum finite element analysis (FEA). CPFEM is applied to predict stress distributions at the microscale and to obtain phase...

... Since fretting fatigue often leads to catastrophic failure in components clamped together with relatively small amplitude displacements, several analysis methods have been developed to quantify fretting fatigue damage. Fretting damage analyses using crystal plasticity have potential to address...

... on driving forces for the formation and growth of small cracks. Two-dimensional computational cyclic crystal plasticity calculations are conducted to study the distribution of cyclic slip and critical plane-type fatigue parameters in a material with nominal stress-strain characteristics of 4340 steel. Cases...
