Abstract

The purpose of this study is to propose a method to correlate micro-structural characteristics of two-phase steel with structural performance in terms of ductile crack growth resistance (R-curve). For this purpose, a meso-scopic simulation method is proposed to predict two types of ductile properties of two-phase steel that control the R-curve from micro-structural characteristics. The R-curve of three-point bend specimen with fatigue pre-crack predicted by a macro-scopic simulation method that we have proposed, in which these two types of ductile properties obtained by the proposed meso-scopic methods are implemented, is in good agreement with experimental result.
