The model will be used in order to accurately predict the fatigue indicator involved in a fatigue criterion able to assess the fatigue life of cast parts used in land or aeronautical transport sectors. The manufacturing method of this type of materials generates defects with variable sizes and complex geometries (e.g. shrinkage cavities). Such a complex morphology induces the presence of properties gradients in the material and consecutive non-local effects that have a significant role on the damage mechanisms. A variational modeling will be attempted from microstructural information obtained by image analysis. It will be first performed in elasticity to focus solely on the microstructure influence on the behavior before being extended in a non-linear framework. The main objective of the advanced modelling will be a better description of the effective behavior of metallic materials as a function of the morphology and of the spatial distribution of the defects due to the process. The first stage of the project will be the construction of a virtual numerical material, "morphologically equivalent" to the real material studied. The statistical data necessary for that purpose will be provided thanks to a precise morphological characterization of the real material with suitable tools. This morphological analysis will also help to the definition of a Representative Elementary Volume (REV). Then, a non-local modeling will be proposed to better understand and / or reproduce the effects of microstructure gradients (due to the random distribution of defects, thepresence of clusters, etc .... ) on the material strength and behavior. The aim will be to formulate a gradient model (enhanced) by scale transition. In contrast to many studies in the literature introducing rather the non-locality through the phase constitutive laws, , the idea will be here to introduce the non-locality through the scaling process (variational approach from microstructural information obtained in the previous stage).
