Sr. Kalidindi et Se. Schoenfeld, On the prediction of yield surfaces by the crystal plasticity models for fcc polycrystals, MAT SCI E A, 293(1-2), 2000, pp. 120-129
Numerical averaging procedures utilizing the finite element technique have
been proposed in the literature as an improvement over the Taylor averaging
scheme for modelling the constitutive behavior of polycrystal aggregates w
ith a known distribution of lattice orientations and a known single crystal
constitutive behavior. In this paper, yield surfaces are predicted for fee
polycrystals with different textures (including random textures and rollin
g textures) by both the finite element technique and the fully constrained
Taylor model. Using both techniques, we study the influence of texture, pol
ycrystal averaging method, and the evolution of slip anisotropy (due to var
ious latent-hardening assumptions) on stress-space contours at constant off
set strain. Results show that slip anisotropy and latent hardening assumpti
ons may be more significant than preferred crystallographic orientations (t
exture) in determining the anisotropic stress response. (C) 2000 Elsevier S
