This paper reviews the current state of the art in the simulation of the mechanical behavior of
polycrystalline materials by means of computational homogenization. The key ingredients of …

The plastic deformation of polycrystalline metals is primarily carried by the crystallographic
glide of dislocations and growth of deformation twins. According to the thermodynamic …

Twin, dislocation, and grain boundary interaction in hexagonal materials, such as Mg, Ti,
and Zr, has critical influence on the materials' mechanical properties. The development of a …

In this work, we develop a multi-level constitutive model for polycrystalline metals that
deform by a combination of elasticity, slip and deformation twinning. It involves a two-level …

A set of constitutive model parameters along with crystallography governs the activation of
deformation mechanisms in crystal plasticity. The constitutive parameters are typically …

The present work addressed the effects of heat treatment on the mechanical response of a
WE43 Mg alloy using an integrated framework of SEM-DIC experiment and CPFE …

Typical hexagonal engineering materials, such as magnesium and titanium, deform
extensively through shear strains and crystallographic re-orientations associated with the …

Insights from a detailed investigation into the anisotropic strain hardening,
tension/compression yield asymmetry, and evolution of crystallographic texture of rolled …

We study the effect of nearest neighboring grains on the propensity for {1012} twin growth in
Mg and Zr. Twin lamellae lying within one grain flanked by two neighboring grains with …

This work adapts a recently developed multi-level constitutive model for polycrystalline
metals that deform by a combination of elasticity, crystallographic slip, and deformation …
