High Performance Computational Modelling of Microstructural Phenomena in Polycrystalline Metals
Abstract In this paper, applications of crystal plasticity theory to the numerical modelling of large strain plasticity phenomena are considered. In particular, instabilities and localized deformation phenomena for face-centred cubic (FCC) and body-centred cubic (BCC) polycrystals subjected to various deformation modes are investigated. In-house finite element analyses based on a rate-dependent crystal plasticity model have been developed to simulate the large strain behaviour for sheet specimens subjected to plane strain and plane stress deformation modes. In the formulation, the plastic deformation of an individual crystal is assumed to be due to crystallographic slip and simulations are performed using two approaches. In the first approach, each material point in the finite element analysis is considered to be a polycrystalline aggregate having a large number of FCC or BCC grains, and the Taylor theory of crystal plasticity is adopted to model the behaviour of the polycrystal. In the second approach, each grain is represented individually using one or more finite elements, and the constitutive response within each element is given by the single crystal constitutive model. Both approaches account for initial textures, as well as texture evolution during large plastic deformations. The numerical analyses incorporate parallel computing features. The results of simulations for the above-mentioned deformation modes are discussed, and in certain cases comparisons are made with experimental results for rolled aluminum sheet alloys and for draw quality steels.
