Sensitivity to grain discretization of the simulated crystal stress distributions in FCC polycrystals
نویسنده
چکیده
An elastoviscoplastic finite element model of aluminum alloys is used to compare mechanical response among meshes formed with several different grain shapes. Tetrahedral elements are used to form grains of cubic, rhombic dodecahedral and truncated octahedral shape. The influence of the grain shape on the aggregate response is examined in terms of the stress variation and the aggregate elastic moduli. While elastic anisotropy in the bulk material is not found to be dependent on grain shape, consistent trends are observed in intragranular and intergranular stress distributions across these mesh definitions.

Abnormal Plastic Behavior of Fine Grain Mp35n Alloy During Room Temperature Tensile Testing
In this paper, results of an investigation on the strain hardening responses of superalloy MP35N with two average grain sizes of 38 and 1 μm, during room temperature tensile testing are reported. The microstructural evolution of the deformed samples was studied using optical and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The strain hardening behavior of the 38 μm material was rather sim...
متن کاملNumerical homogenization of nonlinear viscoplastic two-dimensional polycrystals ?
In this paper, we numerically determine the effective stress-strain relation of some two-dimensional polycrystals. These are aggregates of a few tens of perfectly bonded single-crystal (hexagonal atomic lattice) grains, with varying orientations. Each grain obeys a given nonlinear viscoplastic stress-strain relation, which depends on the orientation of the grain. Precise calculations performed ...
متن کاملStress hot spots in viscoplastic deformation of polycrystals
The viscoplastic deformation of polycrystals under uniaxial loading is investigated to determine the relationship between hot spots in stress and their location in relation to the microstructure. A 3D full-field formulation based on fast Fourier transforms for the prediction of the viscoplastic deformation of poly-crystals is used with rate-sensitive crystal plasticity. Two measured polycrystal...
متن کاملFinite Element Discretization of the Energy of Inclined Grain Boundaries within a Gradient Plasticity Model
A significant contribution to the overall mechanical behaviour of microstructural materials is provided by the interaction of dislocation movement and grain boundaries. As a consequence, polycrystals are observed to respond with a higher strength for smaller grain sizes, a phenomenon which can not be modeled with classical single crystal plasticity theories. Gradient plasticity theories have be...
متن کاملThe Distribution of Grain Boundary Planes in Polycrystals
During the last ten years, techniques have been developed to measure the distribution of grain boundaries in polycrystals as a function of both lattice misorientation and grain boundary plane orientation. This paper presents a brief overview of the techniques used for these measurements and the principle findings of studies implementing these techniques. The most significant findings are that g...
