The stochastic nucleation, solute redistribution, and growth anisotropy effects were taken into account in the present model. The model was used to simulate the grain size of magnesium alloy AZ91D for various cooling rates during the solidification process. To quantitatively validate the current model, metallographic experiments were carried out on specimens obtained from sand mold AZ91D step castings. The metallographic results agree well with the prediction results. The current model can be used to accurately predict the grain sizes of cast AZ91D magnesium alloy.展开更多

No renmshing is needed for crack growth analysis, and all calculations are restricted to cells without an assembled global stiffness matrix. The frictional contact theory is employed to construct the contact model of normal pressure and tangential shear on crack surfaces. A discontinuous cellular automaton updating rule suitable for frictional contact of rock is proposed simultaneously with Newton＇s iteration method for nonlinear iteration. Besides, a comprehensive fracturing criterion for brittle rock under compression-shear loading is developed. The accuracy and effectivenesss of the proposed method is proved by numerical simulation.展开更多
