Anisotropic continuum damage modeling for single crystals at high temperatures

Abstract In single crystals, the process of creep damage is generally anisotropic. Indeed, the damage evolution does not only depend on the loading conditions, but also on the lattice orientation. And the current state of damage has an anisotropic influence on the effective stress state, so that it is represented by a tensorial damage variable. Based on the continuum damage mechanics theory, a creep damage model for F.C.C. single crystals has been developed and implemented in a three-dimensional anisotropic creep model. It is shown that the resulting material model is capable of describing the orientation dependence of the creep and damage evolution of nickel-based superalloys in the high temperature regime.
