A crystal plasticity based finite element (CPFE) framework is developed for performing representative volume element (RVE) calculations on two-phase materials. The present paper investigates the mechanical response and the evolution of microstructure of dual-phase (DP) steels under uniaxial tensile loading, with a special focus on void nucleation. The spatial distribution and morphology of the ferrite and martensite grains in DP steels are explicitly accounted for by generating three-dimensional RVEs with Voronoi tessellations. The effects of microstructural parameters—the volume fraction, morphology and spatial distribution of the martensite phase, and the grain size and orientation distribution of the ferrite phase—on the initiation and spread of localized plastic deformation (leading to void nucleation) are investigated in detail. The soft ferrite phase is modelled by a local crystal plasticity theory with anisotropic elasticity, and the hard martensite phase by the J2 flow theory with isotropic elasticity. The developed CPFE framework successfully predicts both the overall and the local mechanical response, and is perfectly capable of distinguishing between different void nucleation mechanisms experimentally observed for DP steels.

A Micromechanics Based Numerical Investigation of Dual Phase Steels Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Çakmak, Serhat Onur (Elsevier BV; 2019-01-01) The aim of this paper is to investigate the effects of microstructural parameters such as the volume fraction, morphology and spatial distribution of the martensite phase and the grain size of the ferrite phase on the plasticity and localized deformation of dual-phase (DP) steels. For this purpose, Voronoi based representative volume elements (RVEs) are subjected to proportional loading with constant stress triaxility. Two alternative approaches are employed in a comparative way to model the plastic respons...
A normalized set of force and permeance data for doubly-salient magnetic geometries Mahariq, İbrahim; Ertan, Hulusi Bülent; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) In this study, a model is developed to represent doubly-salient magnetic circuits and to fit finite element analysis for the aim of obtaining a set of normalized normal force, tangential force, and permeance variation data. To obtain the desired data FE field solution method is used. The reliability of finite element results have been verified by three steps; first, comparing the numerical results with analytically calculated permeance, second, by solving two switch reluctance motors and comparing the resul...
A numerical method for predicting depth of heat affected zone in EDM process for AISI H13 tool steel Shabgard, M. R.; Seyedzavvar, M.; Oliaei, S. Nadimi Bavil; Ivanov, A. (2011-07-01) This study presents a finite element model (FEM) to model temperature distribution for AISI H13 tool steel workpiece in electrical discharge machining (EDM) at different machining parameters (pulse current, pulse on-time, temperature-sensitive material properties, size of heat source, and material flushing efficiency). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) and micro-hardness tests were used to validate accuracy of FEM predictions. Increasing pulse on-time leads to a higher de...
A Novel Numerical Technique for Analyzing Metasurfaces ÖZGÜN, ÖZLEM; Mittra, Raj; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2019-12-31) This work presents a novel technique for efficient numerical modeling of electromagnetic scattering from metasurfaces comprising of truncated periodic or locally-varying quasi-periodic surfaces. The proposed technique hybridizes the periodic Finite Element Method (FEM) with the Method of Moments (MoM) to develop an algorithm far more efficient than conventional numerical methods for electromagnetic scattering from arbitrary objects. The key feature of the proposed algorithm is that it takes advantage of the...
A coordinate transformation approach for efficient repeated solution of Helmholtz equation pertaining to obstacle scattering by shape deformations Ozgun, Ozlem; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (2014-06-01) A computational model is developed for efficient solutions of electromagnetic scattering from obstacles having random surface deformations or irregularities (such as roughness or randomly-positioned bump on the surface), by combining the Monte Carlo method with the principles of transformation electromagnetics in the context of finite element method. In conventional implementation of the Monte Carlo technique in such problems, a set of random rough surfaces is defined from a given probability distribution; ...
