Analytical model for predicting induced-stress distributions in polycrystalline materialsMede, Timon (Avtor) El Shawish, Samir (Avtor) grain-boundary-stress distributions induced by the uniform external loading (in the elastic strain regime). Such statistical knowledge of local stresses is a necessary prerequisite to assess the probability for intergranular cracking initiation. Model predictions are verified through finite element calculations for various loading configurations, material properties, and grain-boundary types specified by the properties of a bicrystal pair of grains enclosing the grain boundary.Elsevier20252025-07-02 10:59:37Neznano22840Nizozemskasl© 2025 The Authors.
