CHAPTER 1: OVERVIEW 1.1 Overview of polycrystaline materials
Polycrystalline materials are aggregates of large numbers of individual crystals bonded perfectly together
Figure 1.2: Random polycrystalline materials model
1.2 Research history of macroscopic elastic moduli
1.2.1 Outline the process of developing research field
Common approach is using energy priciples, statistical isotropy and symmetric cell hypotheses have been applied to narrow the bounds of estimates from the first order to the second order and
Trang 5the third order ones Experimental data shows that the values of macroscopic properties concentrate within higher order bounds Therefore, third-order estimates are the best ones for the macroscopic properties of polycrystals as well as composites
b Hashin- Strikman estimate (second order)
HS used new variatinonal principle and polar field to buils new estimates better than the Hill ones In cubic case, HS estimates for bulk uper U
Trang 6c Pham Duc Chinh estimate (third order)
Using HS-type polarization trial fields, but coming derectly from classical minimum energy and complementary energy principles, PDC added three-point correlation parameters ,
A B and succeded in constructing tighter bounds PDC estimates have short forms for spherical cell polycrystals:
d Self- consistent value(SC)
SC value is the solution C0 of the equation:
and has many deviations, so thesis only uses it for reference
1.3 General research method
1.3.1 Analytical method
The problem is solved by finding extremums of energy functions on RVE domain Specifically: we choose one or more possible test fields for deformations and stresses, put in mechanical equations with constraints, and transform them to
Trang 7get evaluations This method is the traditional variational one that V-R, HS, PDC used
1.3.2 Numerical method
FEM is commonly used, the basic steps are: random crystal orientation gereration, meshing RVE, setting stiffness matrix, equations describing the material balance, applying conditions, solving systems of equations to get the node displacements, deformation, stress, caculating effective elastic coefficients
1.4 Conclusion of chapter 1
Studying elastic moduli of polycrystalline materials has high scientific and practical significance The analytical results have been developed well, but the FEM results are few Therefore, in this thesis PhD will use both analytical and numerical methods
in solving this problem, compare them with each other and give specific conclusions
CHAPTER 2: ESTIMATES FOR ELASTIC MODULI OF
D- DIMENSIONAL RANDOM POLYCRYSTALS
This chapter uses analytic methods to construct general upper and lower bounds for the bulk and shear elastic moduli of
d-dimensional polycrystals Conclusions for these estimates are
presented at the end of this chapter
2.1 Scientific basis
2.1.1 Elastic coefficients of single crystal
Elastic properties of single crystals are anisotropic and often used by the 2 index-Voigt notation C C mn , S S mn , , 1, 6
m n or 4 index C C ijkl , S S ijkl , i j k l, , , 1,d
2.1.2 Elastic coeficicents of polycrystals
Elastic moduli are determined by the folowing fomulae:
Trang 8We consider RVE has volume V=1, vis corresponding
volume ratio of V V Three-point correlation parameters:
are harmonic and biharmonic functions Geometric
parameters f 1 , f 3 , g 1 , g 3 are restricted by:
2.2.2 Upper bound of bulk elastic modulus
HS polarization trial field has form:
Trang 9This field has only 2 free coefficients k0,0 Refering to HS
field, PDC ’s thesis, PhD selects diffirent general polar fields
for upper and lower bounds, specifically with the upper bound:
After putting trial strain field in to minimum energy expression,
transforming it, we have:

ensure the smallest bulk modulus
Choose maximum over f 1 , g 1: these are two parameters representing the geometry of polycrystals, so select the biggest values to ensure the upper bound
Trang 112.2.3 Lower bound of bulk elastic modulus
Similarly, we select general trial stress field:
Iis the geometric indicator function of α-phase
Putting this trial feld in to minimum complemantary energy expression , optimizing over variables aij, b, f 1 , g 1 restricted,
we obtain the lower bound:

2.3.2 Lower bound of shear elastic modulus
We choose general trial stress field as:

moduli of d-dimensional polycrystalline materials:
This estimates are complexly dependent on the geometric
parameters f 1 , g 1 and component elastic coefficients Cij
Without these geometric informations, the estimates are V-R bounds The second term in our evaluation expressions makes the results of the thesis better
CHAPTER 3: ESTIMATES FOR EFFECTIVE ELASTIC MODULI OF SPECIFIC POLYCRYSTAL CLASSES
This chapter will apply the general evaluation formulae in chapter 2 for some 2D, 3D polycrystals We use Matlab to calculate the bounds for some actual polycrystals and compare with the previous results For comparison, thesis uses scatter measure parameters of bulkS and shear S k moduli:
Trang 13, , ,
k k are upper and lower bounds of bulk and shear moduli respectively These measure parameters characterize the relative difference between upper and lower bounds, if they are smaller then the estimates are better

General comments of FE results:
FE results scatter around V-R, HS, SC, thesis, proving that the results of FEM are completely reasonable
When the number of test samples is larger, FE values tend to focus around the analytic values, that is, when the number of crystal directions is increased, the macroscopic properties of polycrystals are shown more clearly
