simLife (version 0.5.2)

simCrackTime: Defect failure times

Description

Simulation of individual defect failure times. For a secondary phase only the defect type "delamination" is considered.

Usage

simCrackTime(S, stress, vickers, param, cores = getOption("simLife.mc",
  1L))

Arguments

S

geometry objects system

stress

stress level for generation of failure times

vickers

Vickers hardness, see details

param

list of parameter vectors for simulation of failure times for both phases

cores

optional, number of cores for mulicore parallization with cores=1L (default) by mclapply which also can be set by a global option "simLife.mc"

Value

a list with the following elements:

  • id id of particle

  • U crack failure time

  • V delamination failure time

  • T the minimum of both failure times

  • B failure type, either 0 for particle crack or 1 for particle delamination

  • A projection area set to zero for later use

  • label either label="P" for primary phase or label="F" for secondary phase
