Validation of the Texture-Based ALAMEL and VPSC Models by Measured Anisotropy of Plastic Yielding

Article Preview

Abstract:

Several multilevel plasticity models that make use of the crystallographic texture have been developed in the past for the prediction of deformation textures. State-of-the-art models that consider grain interaction, such as Alamel and VPSC, are known to give superior deformation texture predictions compared to the well-known (full constraint) Taylor model. In this paper, these models are assessed on a different basis, namely their ability to predict plastic anisotropy in single-phase steel sheet. A wide range of mechanical tests is considered: uniaxial tension, plane strain tension, simple shear and sheet normal compression. Furthermore, the sensitivity of the anisotropy predictions is analyzed, considering the variability in textures measured by routine XRD. The considered grain interaction models clearly produce improved predictions of plastic anisotropy over the Taylor model.
