Abstract Scope |
Volumetric defects in additively manufactured materials cause stress concentration and often accelerate fatigue crack initiation. Due to their irregular shapes, the stress concentration in the vicinity are highly heterogeneous which strongly influences crack initiation, making the prediction of high cycle fatigue live challenging. This study attempts to explicitly simulate the nucleation and growth of small crack from volumetric defects in Ti-6Al-4V acquired from X-ray computed tomography using linear elastic finite element analysis. The initial small cracks were seeded;, and their size, shape, and location were decided based on the stress distribution at/near defects. By evaluating the stress intensity factor at each point along the crack front, the cracks’ advance rate, thus its shape at any point of its growth history, was determined and validated based on the experimentally obtained fatigue crack growth data previously generated. Finally, the influence of defect shape on the fatigue crack initiation behavior as specifically studied. |
