Non-uniform grain boundary sliding can induce strain and rotation incompatibilities at perfectly planar interfaces. Explicit analytic expressions of stress and lattice rotation jumps are thus derived at a planar interface in the general framework of heterogeneous anisotropic thermo-elasticity with plasticity and grain boundary sliding. Both elastic fields are directly dependent on in-plane gradients of grain boundary sliding. It is also shown that grain boundary sliding is a mechanism that may relax incompatibility stresses of elastic, plastic and thermal origin although the latter are not resolved on the grain boundary plane. This relaxation may be a driving force for grain boundary sliding in addition to the traditionally considered local shears on the grain boundary plane. Moreover, the obtained analytic expressions are checked by different kinds of bicrystal shearing finite element simulations allowing grain boundary sliding and where a pinned line in the interface plane aims at representing the effect of a triple junction. A very good agreement is found between the analytic solutions and the finite element results. The performed simulations particularly emphasize the role of grain boundary sliding as a possible strong stress generator around the grain boundary close to the triple line because of the presence of pronounced gradients of sliding.

We developed a plane-strain crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) numerical model to predict the tensile behavior of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steel with both slip and mechanical twinning as the main deformation modes. Our CPFE model may not only predict well the tensile stress versus strain (S-S) curve but also capture the variation in the volume fraction of twins with a reasonable accuracy. The nucleation of mechanical twin is obviously controlled by the stress concentration. At the same time, the growth of twin may either lead to a stress relaxation in the matrix or cause a local stress concentration around twin, which depends on the deformation condition.
