Abstract In this paper, a crystal plasticity model considering the irradiation effect based on the thermal activation theory is established. The evolutions of screw dislocations, edge dislocations, and stacking fault tetrahedrals (SFTs) (induced by irradiation) are included into the model. The interactions between dislocations and irradiation-induced SFTs are also considered. The constitutive model is numerically implemented on the ABAQUS platform through UMAT subroutine and applied to study the irradiation effect on the mechanical behavior of pure copper. The mechanical properties of single and polycrystalline copper are studied, and the simulation results show that the constitutive model can properly predict the mechanical behavior of irradiated pure copper. Especially for polycrystalline copper, the simulation results are in good agreement with the 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.
