Abstract

Fatigue crack growth in polycrystalline specimens was investigated considering a Ni-based superalloy, Haynes 230. The analyses were carried out through a comparison between experiments and numerical simulations. Crack closure experiments were conducted with digital image correlations: the crack closure was estimated by measuring the relative displacements of crack flanks. The experimental results were compared with crystal plasticity finite element simulations of randomly generated polycrystalline structures, in which the crack growth was simulated through a node release technique. The simulations provided a good estimation of the experimental results in terms of crack opening levels for different loading conditions.
