Design of Microstructure Response Using a Complex Step Plasticity Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
Microstructure-sensitive design is performed using a newly developed Multiscale Complex Step Method. Algorithmic implementation of the complex-step method is based on conventional multiscale Taylor or FE2 direct model, with the difference being that the microstructural deformation gradient is modeled as a complex number with a small imaginary component. We introduce methods to calculate derivatives of microstructural fields with respect to loading parameters. The sensitivities are used to identify optimal microstructures with desired elastic and plastic properties.

Multi-length scale design of deformation processes for control of orientation (texture) dependent properties
Design of deformation (thermo-mechanical) processes to achieve desired structural response will be addressed. Plastic deformation is assumed to be accommodated through crystallographic slip and reorientation of crystals. Conventional methodologies towards polycrystal plasticity use an aggregate of single crystals and this choice of the aggregate affects the response of the polycrystal. In order...
