Homogenization based macroscopic model of phase transformations and cyclic plasticity in pearlitic steel

• In this contribution macroscopic modeling of phase transformations and mechanical behavior of low alloy steels are developed and investigated. Such modeling is of importance in simulations of transient thermo-mechanical processes which can cause phase transformations, examples from the railway industry include train braking induced frictional heating as well as rail grinding and welding operations. We adopt a modeling approach which includes phase transformation kinetics and individual constitutive models for the phases in combination with different homogenization methods. Algorithmic implementations of the isostrain, isostress and self-consistent homogenization methods are presented and demonstrated in finite element simulations of a laser heating experiment. Stress field results from the different homogenization methods are compared against each other and also against experimental data. The importance of including transformation induced plasticity in the modeling is highlighted, as well as the multi-phase stages of the heating and cooling.
