Title: Non-local large-strain FFT-based formulation and its application to interface-dominated plasticity of nano-metallic laminates

Abstract

Here, this paper presents a novel formulation and its robust numerical implementation of strain-gradient (SG) crystal plasticity within a large-strain (LS) elasto-viscoplastic (EVP) fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based micromechanical model. The resulting non-local SG-LS-EVPFFT formulation is used to model and understand the process of kink band formation during layer-parallel compression of nano-metallic laminates (NMLs). NMLs are layered composites with nanoscale thicknesses, thus requiring consideration of the interaction between dislocations and interfaces within the micromechanical model. The length-scale parameter of the SG model is calibrated by simulating a double pile-up and comparing predictions to analytical solution. This required new expressions for the defect energy, resulting in more accurate double pile-up predictions. The calibrated SG-LS-EVPFFT model is then used to simulate layer-parallel compression of copper-niobium NML. Formation of kink bands is predicted, and the model is used to rationalize the microscopic mechanisms enabling the formation process. It is found that accumulation of dislocations at interfaces leads to activation of layer-parallel slip, which in turn leads to kink band formation.
