Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The elastic and plastic anisotropy of the single-crystal materials bring many difficulties in terms of modeling, evaluation and prediction of fatigue crack growth. In this paper a single-crystal material model has been adopted to a finite element-environment, which is paired with a crack growth tool. All simulations are performed in a three-dimensional context. This methodology makes it possible to analyze complex finite element-models, which are more application-near than traditional two-dimensional models. The influence of the crystal orientation, as well as the influence of misalignments of the crystal orientation due to the casting process are investigated. It is shown that both the crystal orientation and the misalignment from the ideal crystal orientation are important for the crack driving force. The realistic maximum limit of 10 degrees misalignment is considered. It can be seen that crack growth behavior is highly influenced by the misalignment. This knowledge is of great interest for the industry in order to evaluate the crack growth in single-crystal components more accurately.

Licentiatavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The main objective of the work presented in this Licentiate of Engineering thesis is to investigate and model the fatigue crack propagation behaviour of the nickel-based superalloy Inconel 792, with special attention to the industrial lifing of high-temperature components. In-phase (IP) crack propagation tests have been performed at different temperatures and loading regimes, including extended hold times. The observations from these tests have been the basis for establishing several hypotheses to describe the crack growth behaviour, which progressively have been verified experimentally and numerically. Most prominently, it has been observed that crack closure has a substantial impact on crack growth and can explain, to a large degree, the crack growth behaviour for this material under the conditions studied. This phenomenon has been observed experimentally and modelled numerically to extend further the precision of the methodology.
