To gain a better understanding about the influence of initial texture on deformation behaviour of sheet metals, an incremental-update formulation is adopted for implementing rate-dependent crystal plasticity model into the explicit finite element package, ABAQUS/Explicit. In this formulation, the configuration in the last increment serves as a reference frame, and the stress, grain orientation and hardening behaviour of crystal are updated at the end of each increment. Two user subroutines VUMAT are developed, respectively, for face-centred cubic and hexagonal close packed alloys due to different deformation mechanisms. Earing behaviours of aluminium sheet and AZ31 alloy sheet are simulated for model validation.

In this paper, a theoretical framework including the micro-mechanical method and crystal plasticity model is developed to characterize the macroscopic mechanical behaviors of irradiated metallic materials. At the microscale, a rate-dependent crystal plasticity model is applied to capture the effects of irradiation-induced defects and helium (He) bubbles for individual grains. Then, the micro-mechanical method is adopted to establish the relationship between microscopic individual grains and macroscopic polycrystals. The developed theoretical framework is applied to simulate the mechanical behaviors of neutron irradiated polycrystalline Cu and He implanted Cu/Nb nano-metallic-multilayers (NMMs), and the numerical results match well with corresponding experimental data.

The flow stress behavior of a bake-hardenable steel during a few simple shear cycles is investigated using a crystal plasticity model. The simple shear test provides a stable way to reverse the loading direction. Stress reversals were accompanied with a lower yield stress, i.e., the Bauschinger effect, followed by a transient hardening stage with a plateau region and, permanent softening. The origins of these three distinct stages are discussed using a crystal plasticity model. To this end, the representative discrete grain set is tuned to capture such behavior by coupling slip system hardening appropriately. The simulated results are compared with experimental forward-reverse simple shear stress-strain curves. It is shown that the characteristic flow stress stages are linked to texture evolution and to the Bauschinger effect acting on the different slip systems.
