WHY SUCH BEHAVIOR ?


Thermal & MetallurgicalProperties

Thermal properties versus to temperature (T°c) and according to the considered phases (zi)

Thermal conductivity : = f(T°c, zi)

Density : = f(T°c, zi)

Specific heat : Cp = f(T°c, zi)

Enthalpy : H = f(T°c, zi)

Latent Heat Effect : H = f(T°c, zi)

Metallurgical Kinetics of Transformation for different heating and cooling rate

Austenitic Transformation : Z = f(T °c, dT/dt)

Ferrite Transformation : Zf = f(T °c, dT/dt)

Bainite Transformation : Zb = f(T °c, dT/dt)

Martensite Transformation : Zm = f(T °c)

Couple mechanical results and hydrogen diffusion to capture the crack

propagation kinetic

Requires a better characterization of H diffusion to consider trapping effect

3D modeling of H diffusion and averaging of values in the first ring of elements

could be done in order to smooth numerical singularity

Possibility to check the stability of an open crack

Simulation of the pressure test with a crack open

Simulate the same crack behavior in real flight conditions

Requires the definition of flight loads

Do not require any new material characterization as the crack tip is out of the HAZ
