Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A feasibility of large-scale image-based simulation using a supercomputer and a synchrotron radiation CT was examined. To overcome the difficulty in the mesh generation based on images, which encumber the large-scale simulation, we employed the voxel element in line with the voxel-to-element strategy. As a result, it became possible to perform a large-scale finite element analysis considering microscopic metallographic structures and we clarified that the elastic-plastic and finite strain analysis can be done up to about one hundred million elements. Moreover, we introduced a heterogeneous voxel element which can use different material property at each integration point within a single element, and examined that this element could reduce the numerical error due to the inaccuracy in shape which is specific to the voxel element. We conducted the micromechanical fatigue simulation for the cast aluminum alloy and discussed the mechanism of fatigue crack initiation from material surfaces.
