Abstract

The creep-fatigue interaction in directionally solidified nickel-base superalloy was analyzed with the modified Chaboche-based unified viscoplasticity constitutive model. The model features the anisotropic material behavior, hardening/softening, and stress relaxation. Simple low-cyclic fatigue and specified hold time experiments were conducted on a directionally solidified superalloy (DZ125) at temperatures over 760°C. The material parameters were optimized considering its tensile, cyclic and creep behavior with the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization procedure. The model was constructed in FORTRAN and integrated in FEA software UMAT/ABAQUS. The results show that experimental and simulated hysteresis loop size/shape, peak stresses, stress relaxation, and related areas are closely matched. The modified constitutive model was found to be instrumental for revealing the fatigue and creep-fatigue interaction behavior of such materials and can be used for practical applications.
