Mechanistic behaviour and modelling of creep in powder metallurgy FGH96 nickel superalloy

A Comparison of the Plastic-flow Response of a Powder-metallurgy Nickel-base Superalloy (postprint)

Recent Advances in Creep Modelling of the Nickel Base Superalloy, Alloy 720Li

Recent work in the creep field has indicated that the traditional methodologies involving power law equations are not sufficient to describe wide ranging creep behaviour. More recent approaches such as the Wilshire equations however, have shown promise in a wide range of materials, particularly in extrapolation of short term results to long term predictions. In the aerospace industry however, l...

Modelling of constitutive and fatigue behaviour of a single-crystal nickel-base superalloy

In this licentiate thesis the work done in the project KME410 will be presented. The overall objective of this project is to evaluate and develop tools for designing against fatigue in single-crystal nickel-base superalloys in gas turbines. Experiments have been done on single-crystal nickel-base superalloy specimens in order to investigate the mechanical behaviour of the material. The constitu...

A Coupled Creep-plasticity Model for Residual Stress Relaxation of a Shot-peened Nickel-base Superalloy

A COUPLED CREEP-PLASTICITY MODEL FOR RESIDUAL STRESS RELAXATION OF A SHOT-PEENED NICKEL-BASE SUPERALLOY Name: Dennis Justin Buchanan University of Dayton, 2007 Advisor: Dr. R. A. Brockman Shot peening has been employed in numerous industries for decades to impart beneficial compressive residual stresses on the surface of metal components. Compressive residual stresses retard initiation of surfa...
