Abstract
This work presents the influence of microstructure on the LCF life of two-phase titanium alloys. An elasto-plastic polygonal FEM and continuum damage mechanics approach has been used in this work. Damage coupled Chaboche-Lemaitre combined isotropic-kinematic hardening model is implemented to accurately capture the effects of deformation inhomogeneity and material plasticity. A new strain-based damage evolution law is proposed to predict the effect of mean grain size on the LCF life. The effect of different microstructural parameters i.e., topological variation, elastic anisotropy, mean grain size and shape, volume fraction of phases and initial voids is statistically analyzed on the LCF life.
