Analyzing the Effects of Cr and Mo on the Pearlite Formation in Hypereutectoid Steel Using Experiments and Phase Field Numerical Simulations.

In this study, we quantitatively investigate the impact of 1.4 wt.% chromium and 1.

The Effect of the Energy Release Rate on the Local Damage Evolution in TRIP Steel Composite Reinforced with Zirconia Particles.

In this study, the effect of the energy release rate on the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) steel composite reinforced with 5 vol% ceramic particles is determined using the crystal plasticity simulation of the coupled brittle-ductile damage model and validated by experimental results. A miniature dog bone tensile sample is subjected to an interrupted in situ quasi-static tensile test up to a true strain of 20.3%.

Effect of the 3rd Dimension within the Representative Volume Element (RVE) on Damage Initiation and Propagation during Full-Phase Numerical Simulations of Single and Multi-Phase Steels.

In this research, the effect of 2D and 3D Representative Volume Element (RVE) on the ductile damage behavior in single-phase (only ferrite) and dual-phase (ferrite and martensite) steels is analyzed. Physical and fitting parameters of the constitutive model for bcc-ferrite and bcc-martensite phases are adapted from the already published work. Crystal plasticity (CP) based numerical simulations without damage consideration are run and, later, ductile damage criteria for the ferrite phase is defined for all cases.
