Abstract This is a viewpoint paper on recent progress in the understanding of microstructure–property relations advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). These alloys constitute class high-strength, formable that are designed mainly as sheet products for transportation sector. AHSS have often very complex and hierarchical microstructures consisting ferrite, austenite, bainite, or martensite matrix duplex even multiphase mixtures these constituents, sometimes enriched with precipitates....
A severe obstacle for the routine use of crystal plasticity models is effort associated with determining their constitutive parameters. Obtaining these parameters usually requires time-consuming micromechanical tests that allow probing individual grains. In this study, a novel, computationally efficient, and fully automated approach introduced which allows identification from macroscopic tests. The presented here uses response surface methodology together genetic algorithm to determine an...
Physics-based crystal plasticity models rely on certain statistical assumptions about the collective behavior of dislocation populations one slip system and their interactions with dislocations other systems. One main advantage using such physics-based constitutive in kinematic frameworks is suitability for predicting mechanical polycrystals over a wide range deformation temperatures strain rates same parameter set. In this study, ability widely used temperature-dependent...
High-resolution three-dimensional crystal plasticity simulations are used to investigate deformation heterogeneity and microstructure evolution during cold rolling of interstitial free (IF-) steel. A Fast Fourier Transform (FFT)-based spectral solver is conduct using a dislocation-density-based model. The in-grain texture misorientation spread consistent with experimental results obtained electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) experiments. show that two types strain localization features...
The capability of high-resolution modeling crystals subjected to large plastic strain is essential in predicting many important phenomena occurring polycrystalline materials, such as microstructure, deformation localization and in-grain texture evolution. However, due the heterogeneity polycrystals, simulation mesh gets distorted during deformation. This distortion deteriorates accuracy results, after reaching high local levels, it no longer possible continue simulation. In this work, two...
Predicting microstructure and (micro-)texture evolution during thermo-mechanical processing requires the combined simulation of plastic deformation recrystallization. Here, a approach based on coupling full-field dislocation density crystal plasticity model cellular automaton is presented. A regridding/remeshing procedure used to transfer data between deformed mesh large-strain regular grid automaton. Moreover, physics nucleation criterion has been developed difference changes in orientation...
In this paper, a four-layer road structure consisting of an edge transverse crack is simulated using three-dimensional finite element method in order to capture the influence single-axle wheel load on propagation through asphalt concrete layer. Different positions vehicular relative cracked area are considered analyses. Linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) used for investigating effect traffic behavior propagating within concrete.

A cellular automaton algorithm for curvature-driven coarsening is applied to a cold-rolled interstitial-free steel's microstructure - obtained through electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). Recrystallization nucleation occurs naturally during the simulation, due highly heterogeneous and hence competitive growth among pre-existing (sub) grains. The spatial inhomogeneity of subgrain that takes place derives from large local variations sizes misorientations comprise prior deformed state....
The microstructure of metals and foams can be effectively modelled with anisotropic power diagrams (APDs), which provide control over the shape individual grains. One major obstacle to wider adoption APDs is computational cost that associated their generation. We propose a novel approach generate prescribed statistical properties, including fine size To this end, we rely on fast optimal transport algorithms stream well Graphics Processing Units (GPU) handle non-uniform, distance functions....

Over the recent years, an increasing attention has been devoted to study effect of higher order terms Williams’ series expansion in fracture mechanics problems. It shown that stress and strain fields around crack tip are influenced considerably by constant term, T-stress, considering this term leads better results. Several criteria have developed describe brittle failure linear elastic bodies, when subjected mixed mode (I/II) loading. In paper, conventional criteria, namely maximum...
In an industrial context, selecting appropriate crystal plasticity (CP) model that balances efficiency and accuracy when modelling deformation texture (DT) is crucial. This study compared DTs in IF-steel after undergoing cold rolling reductions using different CP models for two input scenarios. Three mean-field (MFCP) were utilised their most basic configurations, without considering grain fragmentation or strain hardening, addition to a dislocation-density-based full-field (FFCP) model. The...
