Crystal Plasticity Modelling of Large Strain Behaviour of HCP Materials

Abstract

In this paper, we first introduce various polycrystal plasticity models including the Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent (VPSC) model, the Elastic-Plastic Self-Consistent (EPSC) model, and the Elastic Visco-Plastic Self-Consistent (EVPSC) model, as well as twinning models including the Predominant Twin Reorientation (PTR) model and the Twinning and De-Twinning (TDT) model, with emphasizing on characteristic differences between these models. Then, we demonstrate that the EVPSC-TDT model is able to capture key features of large strain behaviour of HCP materials under various deformation processes including uniaxial tension and compression, simple shear, and torsion.
