Constitutive Modeling Based on Evolutionary Multi-Junctions of Dislocations

Abstract:

A latent hardening model based on binary junction-induced hardening can effectively describe the anisotropy measured in multiaxial tests. However, this approach still has some descriptive and predictive limitations. Recent findings show that binary junctions generated by interactions of pairs of dislocations can only induce short-term hardening effect due to the unzipping process of binary junctions. By contrast, multi-junctions, which are formed via multiple interactions of dislocations, can exert a strong and enduring influence on the hardening of polycrystals. In this study, we extend the modeling of dislocation junctions from the binary to multi-junctions, and implement this evolution into a self-consistent visco-plastic model. An application of this model for predicting the yield surface and texture evolution of AA5754 during uniaxial and plane strain loadings is given as a demonstration of the capabilities of the evolutionary binary-multi junction approach.
