| Abstract Scope |
The creep rupture life of metals is conditioned both by stress and temperatures. Further, it is known to vary significantly in alloys of similar grades; thus causing large uncertainties in the design of metallic structures. The work presented here introduces a new spectral based model predicting the primary, secondary and tertiary creep response of structural alloys. The model leverages the EVPFFT-based mechanical solver and describes plastic relaxation using a crystal plasticity formalism accounting for dislocation glide and climb. Plasticity resulting from vacancy diffusion is also modeled. Critically, the framework introduces a new mechanical damage formalism that can track nucleation of cavities and their growth. The effect of cavities is accounted for by a crystallographically resolved extension of the damage formalism proposed by Leblond Perrin and Suquet. The creep model is applied to a Zirconium alloy and found to satisfactorily predict the effects of temperature, stress, and microstructure variability. |
