    Misorientation and Grain Boundary Orientation Dependent Grain Boundary Response in Polycrystalline Plasticity
    (Springer, 2021) Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Özdemir, İzzet; Tandoğan, İzzet Tarık
    This paper studies the evolution of intergranular localization and stress concentration in three dimensional micron sized specimens through the Gurtin grain boundary model (J Mech Phys Solids 56:640-662, 2008) incorporated into a three dimensional higher-order strain gradient crystal plasticity framework (Yalcinkaya et al. in Int J Solids Struct 49:2625-2636, 2012). The study addresses continuum scale dislocation-grain boundary interactions where the effect of crystal orientation mismatch and grain boundary orientation are taken into account through the grain boundary model in polycrystalline metallic specimens. Due to the higher-order nature of the model, a mixed finite element formulation is used to discretize the problem in which both displacements and plastic slips are considered as primary variables. For the treatment of grain boundaries within the solution algorithm, an interface element is formulated and implemented together with the bulk plasticity model. The capabilities of the framework is demonstrated through 3D polycrystalline examples considering grain boundary conditions, grain boundary strength, the orientation distribution and the specimen size. A detailed grain boundary condition and stress concentration analysis is presented. The advantages and the disadvantages of the model is discussed in detail through numerical examples.

    Void Growth Based Inter-Granular Ductile Fracture in Strain Gradient Polycrystalline Plasticity
    (Elsevier, 2021) Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Tandoğan, İzzet Tarık; Özdemir, İzzet
    The precipitation hardened, high strength aerospace alloys (e.g. Al 7000 alloy series) suffer from loss of fracture toughness due to the heat treatment leading to intergranular ductile fracture. Depending on the quenching and aging processes, large precipitates at the grain boundaries with wide precipitate free zones might develop. Therefore the grain boundaries constitute a potential location for micro void formation and evolution under the effect of external loads. This is a common problem of such materials where there is considerable ductile intergranular fracture, which is normally attributed to the embrittlement effects of the environment in other type of alloys. In this context, for the modeling of such a degradation process, the current paper develops a physics based intergranular cracking model of polycrystalline materials where a strain gradient crystal plasticity model is combined with cohesive zone elements whose traction separation relation is based on the evolution of micro-voids at the grain boundaries. The framework successfully predicts the intergranular crack formation and propagation, taking into account different microstructural features, such as porosity, pore shape, grain orientation distribution, and grain boundary conditions.

    Strain gradient crystal plasticity: Intergranularmicrostructure formation
    (Springer, 2019) Özdemir, İzzet; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay
    This chapter addresses the formation and evolution of inhomogeneous plastic deformation field between grains in polycrystalline metals by focusing on continuum scale modeling of dislocation-grain boundary interactions within a strain gradient crystal plasticity (SGCP) framework. Thermodynamically consistent extension of a particular strain gradient plasticity model, addressed previously (see also, e.g., Yalcinkaya et al, J Mech Phys Solids 59:1-17, 2011), is presented which incorporates the effect of grain boundaries on plastic slip evolution explicitly. Among various choices, a potential-type non-dissipative grain boundary description in terms of grain boundary Burgers tensor (see, e.g., Gurtin, J Mech Phys Solids 56:640-662, 2008) is preferred since this is the essential descriptor to capture both the misorientation and grain boundary orientation effects. A mixed finite element formulation is used to discretize the problem in which both displacements and plastic slips are considered as primary variables. For the treatment of grain boundaries within the solution algorithm, an interface element is formulated. The capabilities of the framework is demonstrated through 3D bicrystal and polycrystal examples, and potential extensions and currently pursued multi-scale modeling efforts are briefly discussed in the closure. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2019.
