UMAT code for crystal plasticity

Submitted by Panos Efthymiadis on

Dear all,

           I would like to ask you something about prof.
Huang's subroutine. I want to verify the code, by using published
stress-strain data. But when I am plotting my stress -strain curve I am
always getting a straight line instead of a curve that shows the hardening effect. What could be a reason for this problem?

         Regards,

         Panos

p.s. I am using a single crystal, single element, and only modify the crystal orientation

Voronoi tesselation-grain size and orientation

Submitted by Panos Efthymiadis on

Dear all,

         I am trying to produce a metallic grain structure  using Voronoi. I am currently using Matlab. Does anyone know how I can control the area of the polygons-grains (impose a Gaussian distribution)? And another point is how can I assign the grain orientation for every polygon?

Regards,

           Panos

PhD position - Modelling of confinement and interfacial effects in small scale plasticity

Submitted by ULB-BATir on

The project is based on the well-known size effect exhibited by metals, i.e
the fact that their strengths are greatly enhanced when at least one
microstructural lengthscale is scaled down to the nanometer range or
when the size of the object is restricted to the micron or sub-micron
range. At these scales the interfaces and their associated properties
play a significant role. This project will focus on the effect of
spatial confinement on the three most common deformation mechanisms:
dislocation glide, mechanical twinning and mechanically-induced
martensitic phase transformations; and will be based on the synergies
between physically-based phenomenological modelling using
strain-gradient plasticity at the highest scale, and thorough

Question on the visualization softwares of texture.

Submitted by Shunlai.Zang on

Hi everyone,

I want to know if there are some opensource softwares to transfer the x-ray raw data to representative discrete pole figure data by Euler angles ? Now I know how to calculate ODF from x-ray raw data with the help of "Mtex". But I dont know how to get representative discrete pole figure data by Euler angles, which is used for CP numerical simulation, from ODF.

Thank you very much!

Continuity in the Plastic Strain Rate and its Influence on Texture Evolution

Submitted by Justin C. Mach on

Classical plasticity models evolve state variables in a spatially independent manner through (local) ordinary differen- 

tial equations, such as in the update of the rotation field in crystal plasticity. A continuity condition is derived for the 

lattice rotation field from a conservation law for Burgers vector content—a consequence of an averaged field theory 

of dislocation mechanics. This results in a nonlocal evolution equation for the lattice rotation field. The continuity 

Question: Is the local energy dictating dislocation emission constant for single crystal?

Submitted by Kejie Zhao on

Hi everyone, in my size dependence study, I find the local energy dictating dislocation emission is almost constant for varied sized samples, in given directions of single crystal. I don't know this is an interesing finding, or just a common sense. Will you give me some suggestion, Thank you!
