Effect of microvoids on microplasticity behavior of dual-phase titanium alloy under high cyclic loading (I): Crystal plasticity analysis

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.

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.
