| Abstract | The objective of the thesis is to develop a modelling and simulation tool capable of accounting, explicitly and in a coupled manner, for the phenomena of local damage (microcracks and microcavities) and oxidation in connection with the initiation and propagation of intergranular cracks. The support material of the study will be a nickel-based superalloy widely used for low-pressure turbine blades in aircraft engines. The first part consists in introducing a damage-coupled consitutive law for the grain boundary in order to reproduce different macroscopic damage kinetics depending on the fatigue and/or creep loading direction. The phase field method will be used for this purpose. In a second part, a model coupling the diffusion of some chemical elements, the growth of a new phase (internal oxide) and the local thermomechanical behaviour of the heterogeneous medium will be constructed. Finally, the modelling approach developed during the thesis will be compared with available experimental observations on (i) the kinetics of notching/pitting observed on the surface of the material and (ii) the effect of a high temperature dwell time on the kinetics of intergranular crack propagation. |
