To investigate the plasticity distribution of microstructurally small crack tip in FCC crystals, the crack tip opening displacment(CTOD), crack tip plastic zone and maximum plastic work for stationary microstructurally small cracks were calculated with the three dimensional crystal plasticity finite element theory, which was implemented in the finite element code ABAQUS with the rate dependent crystal plasticity theory code as user material subroutine. Results show that crystallographic orientation has significant influence on CTOD and maximum plastic work. The CTOD and maximum plastic work in hard orientation are larger than that in soft orientaion under the displacement controlled boundary condition, which means that crack in hard orientation is more likely to extend than that in soft orientaion. The high-angle grain boundary shows a tendency to reduce crack extension, and the dislocation ahead of the crack tip becomes blocked by high-angle grain boundary.

The main goal of the current work is to present a grain boundary model based on the mismatch between adjacent grains in a geometrically nonlinear crystal viscoplasticity framework including the effect of the dislocation density tensor. To this end, the geometrically nonlinear crystal viscoplasticity theory by Alipour et al. (Alipour A et al . 2019 Int. J. Plast. 118 , 17–35. ( doi:10.1016/j.ijplas.2019.01.009 )) is extended by a more complex free energy and a geometrical transmissibility parameter is used to evaluate the dislocation transmission at the grain boundaries which includes the orientations of slip directions and slip plane normals. Then, the grain boundary strength is evaluated based on the misorientation between neighbouring grains using the transmissibility parameter. In some examples, the effect of mismatch in adjacent grains on the grain boundary strength, the dislocation transmission at the grain boundaries and the Hall–Petch slope is discussed by a comparison of two-dimensional random-oriented polycrystals and textured polycrystals under shear deformation.
