A mathematical model was developed to analyze how microcracks in porous 316L stainless steel generate amplitude-dependent internal friction during fatigue cycling, using the Dugdale model to calculate microplastic zone formation at crack tips. The simulations match experimental data and provide a tool for predicting damping behavior in porous structural metals.

An analysis of the effect of microcracks in porous metals on amplitude-dependent internal friction (ADIF) is carried out. A mathematical model is developed, which takes into account an initial distribution of microcracks lengths defining subsequent crack growth during cycling. Using the Dugdale model, the linear density of microplastic zones at the tips of the microcracks is obtained as a function of applied stress and porosity. Resulting simulations of internal friction are compared with corresponding experimental data.

A Study of Microstructure-Sensitive Crack Nucleation and Wear in Fretting

AI summary Read the abstract

This thesis developed a computational and experimental methodology for predicting crack initiation and wear in fretting of 316L stainless steel, using a crystal plasticity finite element model calibrated against cyclic plasticity data. A microstructure-sensitive crack initiation criterion based on accumulated crystallographic plastic slip was validated against plain fatigue experiments and applied to predict fretting fatigue life.

Temperature dependent measurement of internal damping of austenitic stainless steels

AI summary Read the abstract

This paper measured internal damping of austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304, 316L, and 316Ti) as a function of temperature using resonance methods, finding that microplastic processes and energy dissipation are closely tied to defect content. The measurements were used to characterize elastic properties, stress relaxation behavior, and the effects of second-phase particles and voids.
