Quasistatic evolution for dislocation-free finite plasticity [PDF]
We investigate quasistatic evolution in finite plasticity under the assumption that the plastic strain is compatible. This assumption is well-suited to describe the special case of dislocation-free plasticity and entails that the plastic strain is the gradient of a plastic deformation map.

Equivalent Plastic Strain Gradient Plasticity with Grain Boundary Hardening and Comparison to Discrete Dislocation Dynamics [PDF]
The gradient crystal plasticity framework of Wulfinghoff et al. [53] incorporating an equivalent plastic strain and grain boundary yielding, is extended with additional grain boundary hardening. By comparison to averaged results from many discrete dislocation dynamics (DDD) simulations of an aluminum type tricrystal under tensile loading, the new ...

Steel structures are designed to operate in an elastic domain, but sometimes plastic strains induce damage and fracture. Besides experimental investigation, a phase-field damage model (PFDM) emerged as a cutting-edge simulation technique for predicting ...

The mechanisms of grain growth of Mg alloys: A review
Grain growth directly influences the plasticity and strength of Mg alloys. As the grain size decreases from the microscale to the nanoscale, the plasticity of Mg alloys continually increases, whereas the strength first increases and later decreases ...

Simulation of the Hall-Petch effect in FCC polycrystals by means of strain gradient crystal plasticity and FFT homogenization [PDF]
The influence of grain size on the flow stress of various FCC polycrystals (Cu, Al, Ag and Ni) has been analyzed by means of computational homogenization of a representative volume element of the microstructure using a FFT approach in combination with a strain gradient crystal plasticity model.

Strong and ductile medium Mn steel without transformation-induced plasticity effect
The conventional alloy design of medium Mn steel is to optimize the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) effect. Here we show that a dual-phase heterogeneous structure is sufficient to develop a medium Mn steel with high yield strength (∼1.2 GPa) and

Formulation, analysis and solution algorithms for a model of gradient plasticity within a discontinuous Galerkin framework [PDF]
Includes bibliographical references (p. [221]-239).An investigation of a model of gradient plasticity in which the classical von Mises yield function is augmented by a term involving the Laplacian of the equivalent plastic strain is presented. The theory

Determination of Limiting Deformations at Testing Cylindrical Samples for Tension
This paper proposes a method for calculating limiting deformations under conditions of localized deformation during tensile testing. The method for calculating limiting deformations was used to construct plasticity diagrams under conditions of strain ...
