2024 Second Half Semi Annual Report: Modeling plasticity-mediated flow in metals with pressurized cavities

The objective is to better predict the bulk-scale mechanical behavior of porous metals that have over pressurized cavities (e.g., irradiated metals with helium bubbles) by quantifying the complex coupling among cavity aspects (e.g., size distribution, inhomogeneous overpressure values, spatial arrangement) and metal properties (e.g., rate-dependency, crystallographic lattice). This requires up-scaling local mechanical fields from the single crystal scale and will be accomplished using a homogenization approach that combines full-field numerical simulations, analytical formalisms, and physics-informed machine learning to produce symbolically-defined constitutive equations (e.g., gauge functions). These equations will satisfy the objective because they enable computationally efficient predictions that approach the accuracy of computationally expensive full-field numerical simulations, abide by theoretical requirements (e.g., conservation of energy, work conjugacy), and retain the transparency of analytical models.
