Abstract
A phase mixture model was used to study the plastic deformation behaviors in hardening stage of nanocrystalline materials. The material was considered as a composite of grain interior phase and grain boundary (GB) phase. The constitutive equations of the two phases were determined in term of their main deformation mechanisms. In softening stage, a shear band deformation mechanism was presented and the corresponding constitutive relation was established. Numerical simulations have shown that the predications fit well with experimental data. The investigation using the finite-element method (FEM) provided a direct insight into quantifying shear localization effect in nanocrystalline materials.
