Effect of microvoids on microplasticity behavior of dual-phase titanium alloy under high cyclic loading (I): Crystal plasticity analysis
Summary
Researchers used crystal plasticity finite element modelling to investigate how microvoids influence microplasticity deformation in dual-phase titanium alloy under high cyclic loading. They found that geometrically necessary dislocations accumulate around microvoids, with void tip curvature having a greater effect on dislocation density than void size, and that increasing void size and curvature elevates cumulative shear strain across all phases.
A crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) model was established and 2D simulations were carried out to study the relationship between microvoids and the microplasticity deformation behavior of the dual-phase titanium alloy under high cyclic loading. Results show that geometrically necessary dislocations (GND) tend to accumulate around the microvoids, leading to an increment of average GND density. The influence of curvature in the tip plastic zone (TPZ) on GND density is greater than that of the size of the microvoid. As the curvature in TPZ and the size of the microvoid increase, the cumulative shear strain (CSS) in the primary α, secondary α, and β phases increases. Shear deformation in the prismatic slip system is dominant in the primary α phase. As the distance between the microvoids increases, the interactive influence of the microvoids on the cumulative shear strain decreases.

Research on the effect of micro-voids on the deformation behavior and crack initiation lifetime of titanium alloy under cyclic loading by crystal plasticity finite element method
Researchers used a crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) model to investigate how micro-void defects in titanium alloys formed by diffusion bonding influence local stress concentration and fatigue crack initiation lifetime. Results showed that void tip curvature had a greater effect on stress concentration than void size, and that fatigue crack initiation lifetime fell below 10^6 cycles when tip curvature exceeded 0.4 micrometers inverse or when the length-to-diameter ratio dropped below 2.0.
Hierarchy of the macrozone features in Ti-6Al-4V alloy inferred from massive polycrystal plasticity calculations
Researchers used advanced crystal plasticity computer modeling to study how clusters of similarly-oriented grains — called macrozones — affect stress concentrations and fatigue performance in titanium alloys used in aerospace applications. The term "microplastic" here refers to early-stage metal deformation behavior (not environmental plastic pollution); results showed macrozone texture and shape strongly influence where stress hotspots form under cyclic loading.
