考虑微观结构特征长度演化的内变量黏塑性本构模型

在金属晶体材料高应变率大应变变形过程中，存在强烈的位错胞尺寸等微观结构特征长度细化现象，势必对材料加工硬化、宏观塑性流动应力产生重要影响。基于宏观塑性流动应力与位错胞尺寸成反比关系，提出了一种新型的BCJ本构模型。利用位错胞尺寸参数，修正了BCJ模型的流动法则、内变量演化方程，引入了考虑应变率和温度相关性的位错胞尺寸演化方程，建立了综合考虑微观结构特征长度演化、位错累积与湮灭的内变量黏塑性本构模型。应用本文模型，对OFHC铜应变率在10-4~103 s-1、温度在298~542 K、应变在0~1的实验应力-应变数据进行了预测。结果表明:在较宽应变率、温度和应变范围内，本文模型的预测数据与实验吻合很好；与BCJ模型相比，对不同加载条件下实验数据的预测精度均有较大程度的提高，最大平均相对误差从9.939%减小为5.525%。

An internal state variable viscoplastic constitutive model considering the evolution of microstructural characteristic length

During high strain rate and large strain deformation of crystalline metals, there exist phenomena of continuous refinement of microstructural characteristic length, like the size of dislocation cells, which occurs intensively and would have significant influence on the work hardening and macroscopic flow stress. In this work, based on the inverse relation between macroscopic flow stress and and the cell size, a new type of BCJ constitutive model was proposed. The flow rule and evolution equations for internal state variables in BCJ model were modified by involving the cell size parameter; the evolution equation for the cell size considering the dependence of the strain rate and the temperature was introduced into the model; and an internal state variable viscoplastic constitutive model that considers the evolution of microstructural characteristic length, accumulation and annihilation of dislocations was then established. The new constitutive model was illustrated by predicting the experimental stress-strain data of OFHC Cu over a wide range of strain rates (10-4 -103 s-1), temperatures (298-542 K) and strains (0-1). The results show that the predicted data agree very well with the experimental data. Compared with the BCJ model, the predictive accuracies of the proposed model in various loading conditions are obviously improved, the maximum average relative error is reduced from 9.939% to 5.525%.
