Constitutive modeling used for most forming calculations assume an isotropic yield function with isotropic hardening. This assumption usually takes the form of an isotropic elastic stiffness tensor, a realistic flow stress model and a von Mises yield function. Real materials deviate from isotropy both in elasticity and plasticity. The calculations described here relax the assumptions of isotropic elasticity and plasticity by utilizing direct measurements of the elastic stiffness tensor and anisotropic representations of yield surfaces, in particular surfaces tessellated from direct measurements of material texture. This effort validates the use of such constitutive modeling by simulating quasi-static, uniaxial stress compression and Taylor Cylinder impact, and comparing their cross-sectional ``footprints`` to experimental data.
