Abstract
This paper presents a general treatment of grain boundary constitutive behavior in the context of strain-gradient (SG) plasticity, and its numerical implementation in a large-strain (LS) elasto-viscoplastic (EVP) fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based micromechanical model. Two novel grain boundary constitutive equations are proposed, allowing for more accurate description of the Burgers vector flow at the grain boundary. The capabilities of the generalized SG-LS-EVPFFT formulation are illustrated for the case of kink-band formation during layer-parallel compression of nano-metallic laminates (NMLs), requiring consideration of the interaction between dislocations and interfaces.
