On stress propagation and fracture in compacted graphite iron
Abstract
In this work, initiation and propagation of fracture in compacted graphite iron (CGI) has been investigated and modeled under the dynamic loading scenario. Fracture initiation was found to originate at the graphite particles and at graphite/matrix interface at no particular preference of order and propagated into the metal matrix in the form of a network of microcracks which eventually coalesced leading to complete failure of the material. …
