“…Thus, the models of the microstructural determination of damage course in the spheroidal cast iron were extended to a discrete approach. The local stress field at the G/M interface around a graphite spheroid embedded into metal matrix was analyzed and recognized as a factor involved in the material damage (Andriollo, Thorborg, Tiedje, & Hattel, ; Bonora & Ruggiero, ; Di Cocco, Iacoviello, Rossi, & Iacoviello, ; Fukumasu, Pelegrino, Cueva, Souza, & Sinatora, ; Zhang et al, ). Furthermore, the obtained results showed that graphite could not be considered as an isotropic phase.…”
