Two-Scale Finite Element Modelling of Microstructures

Article Preview

Abstract:

Modelling the constitutive behaviour of metallic materials based on their microstructural features and the micromechanical mechanisms in the framework of continuum mechanics is addressed. Deformation at the lengthscale of grains is described by crystal plasticity. The macroscopic behaviour is obtained either by a homogenisation process yielding phenomenological equations or by a submodel technique. The modelling processes for two light-weight materials, namely magnesium and titanium aluminides are presented.
