| Abstract Scope |
The validation of grain-scale micromechanical models remains a challenging problem and is a key bottleneck to the maturation of crystal plasticity for industrial applications. This work demonstrates an approach for connecting 3D experimental microstructural data with crystal plasticity models using synchrotron characterization and the open-source, process-structure-property modeling Python package, Materialite. In-situ interrupted fatigue experiments on notched additively manufactured (AM) Inconel 718 specimens were conducted at the Cornell High Energy Synchrotron Source (CHESS) using X-ray computed tomography (XCT) and high-energy diffraction microscopy (HEDM). The specimens contained AM-induced lack-of-fusion porosity, allowing observations of crack-pore interaction and crack initiation from the notch during cyclic loading. Using the Materialite framework, crystal plasticity simulations were performed on the explicit 3D experimental microstructure to explore several mechanical drivers for early-stage crack growth and their dependence on local microstructural features. This approach enables direct grain-scale model-experiment comparisons for microstructure-informed performance predictions. |
