In this paper, the recently established methodology to use known algorithmic expressions of the second moments of the stress field in the grains of a polycrystalline aggregate for calculating average fluctuations of lattice rotation rates and the associated average intragranular misorientation distributions using the mean-field viscoplastic self-consistent (VPSC) formulation is extended to solve the coupled problem of considering the effect of intragranular misorientations on stress and rotation rate fluctuations. In turn, these coupled expressions are used to formulate and implement a grain fragmentation (GF) model in VPSC. Case studies, including tension and plane-strain compression of face-centered cubic polycrystals are used to illustrate the capabilities of the new model. GF-VPSC predictions of intragranular misorientation distributions and texture evolution are compared with experiments and full-field numerical simulations, showing good agreement. In particular, the inclusion of misorientation spreads reduced the intensity of the deformed texture and thus improved the texture predictions. Finally and moreover, considering that intragranular misorientations act as driving forces for recrystallization, the new GF-VPSC formulation is shown to enable modeling of microstructure evolution during deformation and recrystallization, in a computationally efficient manner.
