1. Introduction

Turbine housing of the turbocharger provides kineticenergy, needed for charging, using remaining enthalpyof the exhaust gas. The component operates usu-ally below 600◦C, but temperature can exceed upto 800◦C. Inhomogeneous distribution of temperatureand boundary conditions of the component constrainsthermal expansion, resulting in inelastic strains andstresses. This is termed termomechanical fatigue(TMF). At high temperature, creep or relaxation oc-curs and time dependent plasticity significantly af-fects lifetime and cannot be neglected. This all is dueto variable service conditions, which usually containsstart up, load, partial load and shutdown [1]. Oper-ating status for the investigated component is nearlycyclically stable.

Main damage mechanisms for components oper-ating at high temperatures are fatigue, oxidation andcreep [2]. Creep becomes significant especially athigh temperature and for long dwell periods. It’salso known, that fatigue and creep damage couldbe treated separately. Enviromental effect could bealso separated [3]. In this case, oxidation is takeninto account indirectly, as test were performed un-der ambient conditions and not in a vacuum. Fatigueand creep damage is computed separately, based onPalmgren-Miner linear accumulation rule.

Thermal and structural finite element analysis(FEA) is a must for a lifetime prediction of the com-ponents subjected to thermomechanical fatigue [4].Temperature field can result from steady-state ortransient analysis. Structural FEA can be either elas-tic, elastoplastic or viscoplastic.

The aim of this paper is to present a damage oper-ator approach (DOA) application [5, 6, 7] for the tur-bine housing, based on transient thermal and elasto-plastic structural FEA with viscoplastic aproximationas a part of the post-processing step. In the caseof DOA, continuous damage calculation is possiblefor both isothermal [8, 9] and non-isothermal loading[10].

2. Material data assessmentMaterial of the investigated component is Si-Mo 4.06.In terms of elastoplastic material data identifica-tion, isothermal LCF tests have been attained at20◦C, 400◦C, 550◦C, 650◦C and 750◦C; as symmet-ric triangular shaped cycles at constant strain rateε11 = 3.10−3s−1, no dwell periods, fully reversed(Rε = −1), total strain range ∆ε11 from 0.005 to0.024. For this strain rate, effect of cyclic creep shouldbe almost excluded.

Viscoplastic material data has been identifiedfrom relaxation tests for three selected temperatures(550◦C, 650◦C ad 750◦C) with five-minute hold timeat peak strain in tension, for ∆ε11 = 0.012.

Creep rupture tests under constant load have beenperformed at three temperatures and three differentstress levels, as creep damage is expected to con-tribute less than fatigue damage [6].

All experiments have been performed on the teststand in 12105 laboratory [11].

2.1. Elastoplastic material data

Life assessment of high temperature components un-der cyclic deformation conditions depends on the se-lected material model. Here, an elastoplastic consti-tutive model used is used for the FEA. Widely ac-cepted and popular non-linear Chaboche kinematichardening model has been selected, capable to de-scribe time-independent cyclic plasticity [12, 13]. In-cremental formulation of the model is as follows

Mechanical strain tensor dεεε is a linear combinationof reversible elastic part dεεεe and inelastic part dεεεpl,Eq.(1). Stress tensor σσσ is obtained from the gener-alized Hooke’s law for a linear, elastic and isotropiccontinuum, Eq.(2), aaa denotes fourth order elastic ten-sor. Associated flow rule is assumed, Eq.(3), dλ de-notes plastic multiplier. Von Mises yield function f isdefined in Eq.(4), where σσσ′,ααα′ and σY are deviatoricstress tensor, deviatoric backstress tensor and the ini-tial size of yield surface at zero plastic strain, respec-tively. σY remains constant, as isotropic hardening isneglected, as usual for TMF. Simulated Baushingereffect and anisotropy induced by work hardening cor-respond to a cyclic loading with continuously reverseddirection of plastic strain, this is often caused by thealternating heating up and cooling down phases [6].

Chaboche introduced [12] that the overall back-stress is sum of the multiple components, providingaccurate description of stress strain response, Eq.(6).Evolution of the backstress component with accumu-lated plastic strain is defined in Eq.(5) as a super-position of purely kinematic term and a relaxationterm γiαααidλ introduced by Frederick and Armstrong[14]. A temperature dependent term makes stress-strain response independent on temperature historyand also states, that material data could be calibratedfrom isothermal LCF tests. The value of Ci corre-sponds to initial plastic modulus and Ci/γi is themaximum amount of strain hardening occuring forlarge plastic strains [13].

The number of backstress is usually consideredto be 3, with a general rule C1 � C2 � C3 andγ1 � γ2 � γ3. The first term represents large (ini-tial) plastic modulus, the second term corresponds tomoderate segment of stress-strain curve. Finally, thethird term describes constant hardening observed forlarge strains [13], Fig. 1.

Model parameters vary with temperature. Mostlythese parameters are calibrated only for the singletemperature independently, which cause model pa-rameters to be scattered. Implementation of suchscattered data in commercial FE software packages(e.g. ABAQUS and ANSYS) may cause convergenceissues. Also, modelling stress-strain trajectory be-tween selected temperatures could be inaccurate. It

has been shown recently, that for a narrow range, ex-ponential decay of parameters should be expected[15].

In this paper, model parameters have been cali-brated to follow a monotonic downward trend, math-ematically described as a Boltzmann function forthe temperature range 20-750◦C. Temperature de-pendent Young modulus E is assumed to decreaseexponentialy, Eq.(10). Three backstress componentsare used for stress-strain curve description, γ3 is as-sumed to be zero. Parameters change with tempera-ture can be written as follows

C1−3(T ) =a01−03 − a04−061 + exp(T−a07a08

)+ a04−06 (7)

γ1−2(T ) =b01−02 − b03−041 + exp(T−b05b06

1 + exp(T−c03c04)

+ c02 (9)

E(T ) = d01(1− d02 expT

d03) (10)

where a01−08, b01−06, c01−04 and d01−03 are the cali-brated constants, T (◦C) is temperature.

In terms of calibration, five hysteresis loops withtotal strain range ∆ε11 = 0.012 have been selectedfrom isothermal LCF tests. An averaged stress–strainresponse for each test was assigned by considerationof 15 stabilized hysteresis loops at mid-life. End-lifewas classically determined when 10% drop in tensionload occured. Optimization script has been devel-oped in MATLAB. Principle is to search global min-imum of the objective function, which was definedas sum of squares of procentual differences betweentested and simulated stress. Initial guesses have beenobtained from the analytical solution for each tem-perature separately. Then the objective function wasminimized, so that the hysteresis loops were simu-lated by the analytical solution. Finally, MATLABOptimization toolbox was linked with ABAQUS bysimple PYTHON script [15]. Calibration model inABAQUS consists of five elements, each at different(measured) temperature, with kinematic boundaryconditions corresponding to the selected strain range.Stabilized solution is obtained with Direct cyclic pro-cedure [16] with 50 Fourier terms. Data of five re-sampled simulated hysteresis loops are reported bythe script to MATLAB and guessed parameters arerefreshed, until the defined requirements of the objec-tive function are met.

2.2. Viscoplastic material data

Viscoplastic material data were obtained fromisothermal relaxation tests. This should representsteady-state operating phase of the component. Lawof perfect viscoplasticity with elastic domain [13, 17]is defined as follows

εvp(t) = 〈σ(t)− k(T )

K(T )〉N(T ) (11)

where K(T ), k(T ) and N(T ) are material and tem-perature dependent data. The McCauley brackets 〈.〉are used here to ensure that when |σ(t)| < k(T ) (in-side the elastic domain) εvp cancels out continuously.The expression corresponds to Norton’s equation forthe secondary creep [18].

Viscoplastic material parameters have been cal-ibrated separately for each temperature, values be-tween test temperatures are obtained by PCHIP.

Constitutive law, Eq.(11), is used in viscoplasticaproximation. If viscoplastic FEA is performed, theconstitutive law could be used as a user subroutineor a power-law creep model [16, 18] (without elasticdomain, secondary stage creep).

Proposed approach correspond to non-unified (un-coupled) creep-plasticity model.

3. Finite element analysis

The presented approach comprises three steps. In thefirst step, a temperature field is computed from tran-sient thermal FEA, which is subsequently used in thesedond step, in the structural analysis. Last step in-cludes viscoplastic aproximation and lifetime calcula-tion with the intensive use of Prandtl type hysteresisoperators. ABAQUS was chosen for the finite elementanalysis, for both transient thermal and structural.

The thermal shock test was performed on the gasstand. Extreme temperature gradients are causedby alternating heating-up and cooling down, Fig.5. Maximum and minimum test temperatures rep-resent full load and partial load, respectively. For thepurpose of numerically simulating temperature be-haviour of the component, heat transfer coefficientsand thermal boundary conditions were calibrated onthe basis of the measurements obtained by infraredthermography and thermocouples (M. Nesládek).

Fig. 4. Temperature field from the transient thermalFEA for the most heated state.

Inhomogenous temperature distribution is ob-tained from the transient thermal analysis from theprevious step. The mechanical boundary conditionsresult from the mounting of the system. In gen-eral, change in temperature of material produces ther-mal strains, constrained thermal expansion producesstress. The von Mises stress field computed in thestructural FEA is presented in Fig. 6.

Elastoplastic FEA model for the structural anal-ysis of the investigated component contains a total ofalmost 500,000 nodes. In the case of a time dependentDOA, only one thermal shock needs to be perfomed.It takes several hours to perform the analysis.

In the last step, equivalent nodal stress and tem-peratures are transferred to post-processing program.For this reason, User C/C++ post-processing pro-gram [16] has been developed for the ABAQUS, pre-serving high computation speed and direct access tothe output database.

Equivalent stresses are obtained by applying thesigned von Mises or critical plane approach. Thesigned von Mises has been selected for this paper.

4. Damage operator based lifetime calcu-lation

4.1. Fatigue damage

The rainflow method due to Endo [19] is widely ac-cepted and commonly used. It’s used to decomposean arbitrary sequence of load into cycles and to countthose cycles, together with Palmgren-Miner linear ac-cumulation rule. In the case of TMF, temperatureis changing, this can lead to non-closed load cycles.Thus traditional rainflow counting can be no longerjustified. It has been shown, that traditional rainflowcounting directly corresponds to the memory struc-ture of the elastoplastic constitutive law [20]. Also,it has been proven, that the total damage throughthe Palmgren-Miner rule is a continuous functional ofthe loading history and could be expressed as the to-tal variation of the output of a hysteresis operator [9,8]. This was eventually extended for non-isothermalcases [10], enabling online fatigue damage calculation.

More details about equations (12)-(27) given be-low can be found in [5, 6, 7, 10].

The equivalent stress σi(ti) and temperature his-tory Ti(ti) are obtained from elastoplastic FEA with

kinematic hardening. First, using the DOA, uniax-ial instantenous strain εi(ti) can be expressed in theform of the Prandtl type operator as follows

εi(ti) =

nr∑i=1

αj(Ti)σαj(ti) (12)

for 0 6 t1 6 t2 6 ... 6 ti 6 ..., where Ti is a cur-rent temperature and σαj is the play operator withgeneral initial value given as follows

σαj(ti) = max{σi(ti)−rj ,min{σi(ti)+rj ,αj(Ti−1)

αj(Ti)σαj(ti−1)}}.

(13)σαj(ti) is the backstress and follows kinematic hard-ening, rj are yield stresses of the segment sliders,αj(Tk) are temperature dependent Prandtl densitiesand can be derived explicitly as follows

αj(Tk) =1

rj+1 − rj(εij+1(Tk)−

j−1∑i=1

αi(Tk)(rj+1−ri))

(14)in the temperature range k = 1, ..., nT and for seg-ments j = 1, ..., nr. Values are obtained from materialand temperature dependent σi − εi cyclically stablecyclic stress-strain curves, Fig. 7. Cyclic stress-straincurves could be derived from Chaboche model pa-rameters or directly from LCF tests. Here, Ramberg-Osgood relation [21] is chosen as a decription of cyclicstress-strain curve. Model parameters have been de-rived from LCF tests directly and calibrated similarlyto the backstresses in Section 2.

This stage of the model can be interpreted asa serially connected stress controlled spring-slidermodel and corresponds to time-independent consti-tutive law.

The next part is dedicated to the calculation ofthe viscoplastic strain. The true stress σ(ti−1) andinstantenous strain εi(ti) are assumed to remain con-stant in the time step (ti − ti−1). The viscoplasticstrain is obtained as follows

εvp(ti) ≈ sgn(σ(ti−1)) · 〈 |σ(ti−1)| − k(Ti−1)

K(Ti−1)〉N(T ) · (15)

A multiplier f is added in order to avoid vis-cous strain discontinuity at the creep temperatureTc = 450◦C. The multiplier is defined as follows

f =

{exp(

Ti−1 − TminTi−1 − Tc

), Tc 6 Ti−1 6 Tmin

1.00, Tmin 6 Ti−1(16)

where Tmin is minimum test temperature (550◦C).The multiplier makes the viscous strain continuouslydecay as the temperature decreases to Tc. There isno creep for Ti−1 < Tc. Better accuracy could beachieved by adding an additional subdivision of time.

In the next step, instantenous strain εi(ti) isconverted into the true stress σ(ti) and elastoplas-tic strain εep(ti), using non-linear strain controlledMaxwell model, Fig. 8. Elastoplastic strain is ob-tained as follows

εep(ti) =

{εi(ti)− εvp(ti), Tc 6 Ti−1

εi(ti)− εvp(ti−1), Ti−1 6 Tc.(17)

True stress is obtained from the strain controlledspring-slider model, from all segments as

σ(ti) =

nq∑i=1

βj(Ti)εβj(ti) (18)

for 0 6 t1 6 t2 6 ... 6 ti 6 ..., where Ti is the currenttemperature and εβj is the play operator with generalinitial value given as follows

εβj(ti) = max{εep(ti)− qj ,min{εep(ti) + qj , (19)βj(Ti−1)

βj(Ti)εβj(ti−1)}}.

where εβj(ti) is the backstrain, qj are yield strainsof the segment sliders, the spring stifness βj(Tk) aretemperature dependent Prandtl densities and can bederived explicitly as follows

βj(Tk) =1

qj+1 − qj(σj+1(Tk)−

j−1∑i=1

βi(Tk)(qj+1− qi))

(20)and can be obtained from cyclically stable cyclicstress-strain curves.

Fig. 8. Strain-controlled non-linear Maxwell model [7].

If the viscoplastic FEA is performed, the truestress is obtained from FEA and viscoplastic aproxi-mation is superfluous.

At this time, true stress σ(ti) and elastoplasticstrain εep(ti) are transferred to chosen damage pa-rameter. Following options have been selected. Nomean stress correction

P (ti) = εep(ti) (21)

and Smith-Watson-Topper parameter [22]

P (ti) = PSWT (ti) =√

(σm(ti) + σa(ti))E(Ti)εepa (ti).

(22)PSWT requires online signal decomposition into themean stress and stress and strain amplitude, detailscan be found in [23].

Fatigue damage is expressed as a total variation

Df (ti) = Df (ti−1) + |D(ti)−D(ti−1)|. (23)

Damage operator D(ti) represents the cyclic damageevolution, Fig. 9., and is expressed as follows

D(ti) =

np∑j=1

Dj(ti) =

np∑j=1

γj(Ti)Pγj (ti) (24)

for 0 6 t1 6 t2 6 ... 6 ti 6 ..., where Ti is a cur-rent temperature and Pγj is the play operator withgeneral initial value given as follows

Pγj (ti) = max{P (ti)−pj ,min{P (ti)+pj ,γj(Ti−1)

γj(Ti)Pγj (ti−1)}}.

(25)Pγj (ti) represents backstress and follows kinematichardening, pj are yield stresses of the segment sliders,γj(Tk) are temperature dependent Prandtl densitiesand can be derived explicitly as follows

γj(Tk) =1

pj+1 − pj(dfj+1(Tk)

4−j−1∑i=1

γi(Tk)(pj+1−pi)).

(26)Values of γj(Tk) are obtained from temperature de-pendent fatigue curves from LCF tests. Fatiguecurves need to be first transformed from the P −Nf ,Fig. 10., to the corresponding P − df curves

For a known uniaxial true stress and temperature,creep damage Dc is computed using Robinson’s rule(time-fraction rule) as follows

Dc(ti) =∆ti(σi, Ti)

tri(σi, Ti)+Dc(ti−1) (28)

where ∆ti is time under current loading conditionsand tri is corresponding time to the rupture for thesame loading conditions, Fig. 11. Test were per-formed only for limited number of samples. Missingvalues are assessed by a time-temperature param-eter. Restrained Manson-Brown parameter(RMB),proposed in [24], is used for the calculation

Second degree polynomial is usually sufficient todescribe the stress function

RMB = a0(Ti) + a1(Ti)log σi + a2(Ti)log2 σi. (30)

The coefficients a0, a1, a2, log ta, q and Ta are ob-tained by least square method from the creep rupturetest data.

For each time step, RMB coefficients are trans-ferred to the second degree polynomial as follows

log tri = b0(Ti) + b1(Ti)log σi + b2(Ti)log2 σi. (31)

Maximal correlation coefficient has been obtained forq = 1 in this study. That correspond to the Man-son–Haferd parameter. Tensile-compressive creep isassumed.

4.3. Total damage

Total damage at time ti can be obtained as follows

D(ti) = Df (ti) +Dc(ti). (32)

The assumed loading history should be doubled to ob-tain a "stabilization" of the computed damage. Totaldamage of the first run is computed as follows

D1 = D1f +D1c (33)

and total damage of the following runs as

D2 = D2f +D2c. (34)

The predicted number of cycles to failure (initiationof a crack growth) is obtained as follows

Nf =1−D1 +D2

D2. (35)

In the case of D1 ≥ 1 then Nf = 1. Limit damagevalue is assumed to be 1.

Fig. 12. demonstrates simulated criticalzones for the turbine housing of the turbocharger.Smith-Watson-Topper mean stress corection, tensile-compressive creep and signed von Mises stress are as-sumed for the lifetime calculation. The number ofsegments used is 150 (nr = nq = np = 150).

5. ConclusionsCritical zones for the turbine housing of the tur-bocharger have been identified according to the sim-ulated thermomechanical loading. Proposed elasto-plastic material model with kinematic hardening iscapable of describing time independent behaviour ofthe component. Viscoplastic approximation enablesfast computation of viscous strain using hysteresisoperators, comprising speed and accuracy. A dam-age operator enables continuous damage calculation,which is especially suited for the thermomechanicalfatigue.

Future research will be dedicated especially toviscoplasticity modelling and temperature dependentmultiaxial criterion. Also other types of loading cy-cles are planned to be simulated on the turbine hous-ing of the turbocharger. Finally the results shouldbe verified experimentally by either partial destruc-tion or total destruction of the component on the teststand.

The presented approach is implemented as UserC/C++ post-processing program for ABAQUS. Iden-tification of the time-temperature and elastovis-coplastic material parameters is implemented in theform of a script in PYTHON and MATLAB.

All experiments have been performed on the newtest stand in 12105 laboratory [11], which has provento meet the requirements.

Developed software can be extended by notch for-mula enabling fast computations from elastic FEA.This can provide significant acceleration in the phaseof design calculations in industry.
