Abstract
Without initial imperfection and damage evolution model, it is difficult to analyze the necking behavior by finite element analysis with continuum theory. Moreover, the results are greatly dependent on the size of the initial imperfection. In order to predict necking phenomenon without geometric imperfection, in this study, a crystal plasticity model was introduced in the 3-dimensional finite element analysis of tensile test. Grains were modeled by an octahedron and different orientations were allocated to each grain. Damage model was also used to predict the sudden drop of load carrying capacity after necking and to reflect the void nucleation and growth on the severely deformed region. Well-known Cockcroft-Latham damage model was used. Void nucleation, growth and coalescence behavior during necking were predicted reasonably.
