Molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate crack growth behavior and microstructural evolution in different Ti single crystals. It was found that crack growth in alpha-Ti was independent of initial crack length, while it depended on initial crack length in beta-Ti and lamellar-Ti. Structural changes were observed in beta-Ti and lamellar-Ti, where the beta-phase transformed into variants of the alpha-phase. The critical strain energy release rate was largest in beta-Ti and lowest in alpha-Ti, and it showed a strong dependence on initial crack length in beta-Ti and lamellar-Ti.
In this work, molecular dynamics simulations are employed to investigate crack growth behavior and related microstructural evolution in alpha-Ti, beta-Ti, and lamellar-Ti single crystals under plane strain conditions. It is observed that the crack growth is independent of the initial crack length in alpha-Ti while it depends on the initial crack length in beta-Ti and lamellar-Ti. The crack growth in beta-Ti increases monotonically with an increase in initial crack length. However the crack growth in lamellar-Ti does not increase monotonically with respect to the initial crack length since the crack tip of different initial cracks may lie in alpha-phase, beta-phase, or alpha - beta interface in lamellar-Ti. Significant structural changes (alpha to beta phase transformation) due to the applied deformation are not observed in alpha-Ti. For both beta-Ti and lamellar-Ti, the beta-phase is transformed into different variants of the alpha-phase. Dislocation density is the largest for lamellar-Ti followed by beta-Ti and alpha-Ti. The critical strain energy release rate is the largest for beta-Ti and it is lowest for alpha-Ti. The G(c) for alpha-Ti decreases with an increase in initial crack length and does not appear to be much sensitive to the initial crack length. In the case of beta-Ti and lamellar-Ti, G(c) shows a strong dependence on the initial crack length and the variation of G(c) relative to the initial crack length can be well described by an exponentially decaying function.
