A three-dimensional crystal plasticity (CP) finite element model is developed to reproduce the grain level stress concentration and deformation of polycrystalline aluminium alloy 7075 (AA7075) during fatigue experiments. The grains contained in the model possess the same size and crystallographic orientations obtained from electron back-scatter diffraction experiments. A modified CP constitutive model, which considers the backstress evolution, is employed to describe the mechanical behaviour of AA7075 under cyclic loading. A round-notched specimen from a fatigue test is simulated using the proposed CP model. Convergence studies in terms of mesh density and plastic deformation zone size are carried out to determine the appropriate conditions for the simulation. The simulation results are compared with those obtained using the elasto-plastic model and the CP model without grain morphology. The comparison indicates that with the embedded grain morphology, the proposed model can capture very well the local response induced by the microstructure features, which is vital to the accurate fatigue life prediction of aluminium alloys.

The prediction of residual stress relaxation is essential to assess the safety of welded components. This paper aims to study the influence of various effective parameters on residual stress relaxation under cyclic loading. In this regard, a 3D finite element modeling is performed to determine the residual stress in welded aluminum plates. The accuracy of this analysis is verified through experiment. To study the plasticity effect on stress relaxation, two plasticity models are implemented: perfect plasticity and combined isotropic-kinematic hardening. Hence, cyclic plasticity characterization of the material is specified by low cycle fatigue tests. It is found that the perfect plasticity leads to greater stress relaxation. In order to propose an accurate model to compute the residual stress relaxation, the Taguchi L18 array with four 3-level factors and one 6-level is employed. Using statistical analysis, the order of factors based on their effect on stress relaxation is determined as mean stress, stress amplitude, initial residual stress, and number of cycles. In addition, the stress relaxation increases with an increase in mean stress and stress amplitude.
