单晶有限变形的热力耦合计算模型

以弹性变形梯度作为基本变量,结合热力学理论构造了单晶有限变形的热、力耦合计算模型。该模型考虑了温度、变温速率以及塑性耗散等条件对单晶有限变形的影响,相对于传统的以弹性变形梯度为基本变量的晶体塑性模型,算法能够体现温度效应的影响。采用隐式的积分方法对建立的控制方程进行计算以保证求解过程的稳定。以1100Al单晶为例计算了不同升温、降温速率,以及不同应变率影响下的材料应力-应变的响应。结果表明,模型能较好地反映变温过程中,单晶各向异性性质的演化以及应力、应变之间关系的变化。     

Analyzing the orientation dependence of stresses in polycrystals using vertices of the single crystal yield surface and crystallographic fibers of orientation space

The influence of the polygonal geometry of the restricted slip-associated yield surface on the distribution of stresses over a polycrystalline aggregate is examined. The vertices of the yield surface (stress states corresponding to polyslip) are grouped according to symmetries imposed by crystal structure. A measure of coaxiality between crystal stresses and yield surface vertex stresses is used to quantify the proximity of the stress in each crystal to a yield surface vertex. It is shown that for prescribed stress states, crystal stresses align more closely with certain families of vertices than with others and this relation between crystal and vertex stresses is found to depend on crystallographic fibers. Using this information, the stress distributions from finite element simulations of face centered cubic polycrystals are analyzed for different stress states ranging from uniaxial to balanced biaxial. Over the fundamental region of orientations, the propensity for the stress to align with a vertex is demonstrated. Further, the stresses in elements contributing to certain crystallographic fibers are shown to favor the vertex families aligned with those fibers. The implications of these results on mechanical behaviors, especially with respect to those observed in diffraction experiments, are discussed.

A substructure mixtures model for the cyclic plasticity of single slip oriented nickel single crystal at low plastic strain amplitudes

The cyclic plasticity behavior of nickel single crystals oriented for single slip is characterized by uniaxial, symmetric, tension–compression, strain controlled tests carried out at constant plastic strain amplitudes ranging from 5(10⁻⁵) to 1(10⁻³). Annealed single crystals are cycled in this manner to post-cyclic saturation and microstructural characterizations, including transmission electron microscopy and optical micrographs of specimen surface replicas are used to verify and evaluate dislocation substructures. Stress–strain and microstructure data are used to construct a mixtures model that couples cyclic plasticity models for three substructures as well as a model for reverse magnetostriction (Villari effect) that is a significant component of inelastic strain at the lower plastic strain amplitudes. The model is used to correlate the stress–plastic strain hysteresis loop responses over the range of plastic strain amplitudes and from cumulative plastic strains from 0.3 to post-cyclic saturation. Complex evolution of substructure plastic strain amplitudes toward their so-called intrinsic values upon the formation of persistent slip bands is modeled. Additionally, bulk Young’s modulus is found to vary significantly with plastic strain amplitude and cumulative plastic strain. A correlation of this behavior is included.
