The precipitation hardened, high strength aerospace alloys (e.g. Al 7000 alloy series) suffer from loss of fracture toughness due to the heat treatment leading to intergranular ductile fracture. Depending on the quenching and aging processes, large precipitates at the grain boundaries with wide precipitate free zones might develop. Therefore the grain boundaries constitute a potential location for micro void formation and evolution under the effect of external loads. This is a common problem of such materials where there is considerable ductile intergranular fracture, which is normally attributed to the embrittlement effects of the environment in other type of alloys. In this context, for the modeling of such a degradation process, the current paper develops a physics based intergranular cracking model of polycrystalline materials where a strain gradient crystal plasticity model is combined with cohesive zone elements whose traction separation relation is based on the evolution of micro-voids at the grain boundaries. The framework successfully predicts the intergranular crack formation and propagation, taking into account different microstructural features, such as porosity, pore shape, grain orientation distribution, and grain boundary conditions.

Plastic slip patterns through rate-independent and rate-dependent plasticity Lancioni, Giovanni; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2014-05-09) Plastic deformation induces various types of dislocation microstructures at different length scales, which eventually results in a heterogeneous deformation field in metallic materials. Development of such structures manifests themselves as macroscopic hardening/softening response and plastic anisotropy during strain path changes, which is often observed during forming processes. In this paper we present two different non-local plasticity models based on non-convex potentials to simulate the intrinsic rate-...
Micromechanical modeling of intrinsic and specimen size effects in microforming Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Simonovski, I (2018-09-01) Size effect is a crucial phenomenon in the microforming processes of metallic alloys involving only limited amount of grains. At this scale intrinsic size effect arises due to the size of the grains and the specimen/statistical size effect occurs due to the number of grains where the properties of individual grains become decisive on the mechanical behavior of the material. This paper deals with the micromechanical modeling of the size dependent plastic response of polycrystalline metallic materials at micr...
Delamination-Debond Behaviour of Composite T-Joints in Wind Turbine Blades Gulasik, H.; Çöker, Demirkan (2014-06-20) Wind turbine industry utilizes composite materials in turbine blade structural designs because of their high strength/stiffness to weight ratio. T-joint is one of the design configurations of composite wind turbine blades. T-joints consist of a skin panel and a stiffener co-bonded or co-cured together with a filler material between them. T-joints are prone to delaminations between skin/stiffener plies and debonds between skin-stiffener-filler interfaces. In this study, delamination/debond behavior of a co-b...
Transient Thermochemical Erosion Modeling for Solid Propellant Rocket Motor Nozzles Including the Effect of Shape Change and Anisotropy Onay, Oğuz; Eyi, Sinan (2018-06-25) In this study, a loosely coupled thermochemical erosion model is developed for the nozzle throat erosion calculations of the solid propellant rocket motors. The flow is assumed to be quasi-steady and the solid domain is updated at each time step of the solid conduction solution. Flow and solid domains are assumed to be axisymmetric. Heterogeneous finite rate surface reactions are used on the wall surface and mass and energy balances are implemented. Effects of anisotropy and the shape change are included to...
Stress distributions in cooling fins of variable thickness with and without rotation Eraslan, Ahmet Nedim (Informa UK Limited, 2005-08-01) A computational model is developed to predict elastic and elastic-plastic stress distribution in a nonlinearly hardening cooling fin of variable thickness subject to centrifugal force. The model is based on a realistic conduction-convection mechanism, von Mises yield criterion, Henky's deformation theory and a Swift-type strain hardening law. Temperature dependency of modulus of elasticity, uniaxial yield limit, coefficient of thermal expansion, and thermal conductivity of the fin material is taken into acc...
