Microstructure-sensitive weighted probability approach for modeling surface to bulk transition of high cycle fatigue failures dominated by primary inclusions
In this thesis, we pursue a simulation-based approach whereby microstructure-sensitive finite element simulations are performed within a statistical perspective to examine the VHCF life variability and assess the surface initiation probability. The methodology introduced in this thesis lends itself...
