Abstract:
      Based on the classical theory of surface diffusion and evaporation-condensation,a finite element program is developed for simulating the shape instability of intragranular microcracks due to surface diffusion induced by stress migration.The results show that there exists a critical value of aspect ratio βc for the intragranular microcracks under the compressive and tensile stress.When β<βc,the microcrack will directly evolve into a cylinder.When ββc,it will split into three small microcracks.The splitting time of microcrack decreases linearly with theaspect ratio increasing.As the stress increases,both the critical value of aspect ratio and the splitting time increase continuously.
