PRISMS-Plasticity TM: An Open-Source Rapid Texture Evolution Analysis Pipeline

The evolution of texture during different mechanical processes is an integral part Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) metals and alloys. In the present work, PRISMS-Plasticity TM, open-source rapid analysis pipeline, based on Taylor model integrated into crystal plasticity software, PRISMS-Plasticity. However, unlike PRISMS-Plasticity, pipeline does not involve any finite element solver. Taylor-type used to capture texture. aims significantly minimize cost simulations, so one can use framework along with data-driven ICME design methods generate high-throughput data low costs for general or machine learning applications. All rate-independent rate-dependent models available in library be pipeline. extension twinning as important deformation mechanism alloys hexagonal close-packed structures. TM efficiently experimental characterization techniques such electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), these pipelines other software packages DREAM.3D where appropriate. addition, results are PRISMS Center Commons information repository. this investigation, three examples a polycrystalline OFHC copper, extruded Mg alloy ZK60A, aluminum 7075-T6 presented show capability TM. take advantage parallel performance scales exceptionally well large problems running multiple processors. computational efficiency tool build databases Such dataset established containing process–microstructure relationships Al. extracted visualized 2-D latent space using unsupervised called variational autoencoder (VAE). trained VAE identify economical process sequences which lead desired properties.
