Abstract

The analysis by diffraction of crystalline materials can determine the full tensor of the elastic strains within them. Point-by-point maps of elastic strain can thus be obtained in engineering alloys, typically using synchrotron X-rays or neutrons. In this paper, a novel approach is presented to calculate the elastic strain energy release rate of a loaded crack from two-dimensional strain maps
that are obtained by diffraction. The method is based on a Finite Element approach, which uses diffraction data to obtain the parameters required to calculate the J-integral via the contour integral method. A validation of the technique is presented using a synthetic dataset from a finite element model. Its experimental application is demonstrated in an analysis of a synchrotron X-ray diffraction strain map for a loaded fatigue crack in a bainitic steel.
