Abstract:
Crystal plasticity (CP) models are extensively used by the Mechanics of Materials community to obtain microstructure/property relationships of polycrystalline materials. FFT-based methods, originally proposed by Moulinec and Suquet for composites [1] and extended to polycrystals [2] (the most recent formulation, including non-local large-strain elasto-viscoplasticity reported in [3]) are very competitive compared with CP-Finite Elements for some applications, due their higher efficiency and their direct use of voxelized microstructural images. In this talk, we will report recent progress on FFT-based polycrystal plasticity that expands its applicability, including strain-gradient plasticity, achieving geometric accuracy working with voxelized images, non-periodic extensions, and dynamic effects. We will show applications of these methods to micromechanics of nano-metallic laminates, wave propagation in heterogeneous materials, multiscale coupling with Lagrangian hydrocodes, integration with 3-D characterization methods, and use for training and validation of machine-learning models.
