Abstract :
The fatigue fracture of melt-processed YBCO is considered based on the earlier developed computational approach. The occurrence of microstructures is modeled using heat treatment and Monte Carlo simulations. The results are applied to the investigation of microstructural dissimilitude in the problem of small cyclic loading. Some effective properties of modelled structures are estimated.
