Title: Modeling of inelastic deformation of f.c.c. single- and polycrystalline materials with low stacking fault energies[Face Centered Cubic]

Conference ·
OSTI ID:20015023

A new rate-independent constitutive model for plastic deformation of crystalline materials deforming by slip and twinning has been formulated, and implemented in a finite-element program. The authors have simulated three different structural levels by choosing representative volume elements (RVEs) as (1) a small part of a single crystal for the analysis of the heterogeneity of plastic deformation in single crystals, (2) a whole single crystal for polycrystal simulations, and (3) a group of crystals for a Taylor-type model of polycrystals. The authors show that the predictions for the texture and stress-strain response from the model are in reasonably good agreement with experiments in plane-strain compression for a different single crystal and polycrystalline f.c.c. materials.
