We present a single crystal plasticity model for pure Mg incorporating slip and deformation
twinning. The model uses the basic framework of Kalidindi (1998), but proposes constitutive …

Here, we report a comprehensive study that combines in situ scanning electron microscopy
experiments and atomistic simulations to quantify the effect of crystal size on the …

Magnesium (Mg) single crystal specimens with three different orientations were prepared
and tested from room temperature to 733 K in order to systematically evaluate effects of …

A crystal-mechanics-based constitutive model, which accounts for both slip and twinning,
has been developed for polycrystalline hcp materials. The model has been implemented in …

Abstract Basal slip and {01 1¯ 2} twinning are two major plastic deformation mechanisms in
hexagonal closed-packed magnesium. Here we quantify the critical stresses associated with …

This paper develops an advanced, image-based crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE)
model, for predicting explicit twin formation and associated heterogeneous deformation in …

A study of the mechanical response of Mg AZ31 when deformed under twinning dominated
conditions is presented. In addition to the well-known rapid texture variation, neutron …

We present a combined experimental and numerical study that provides the understanding
of deformation mechanisms and stresses in Mg AZ31B alloy across scales, from macro …

An SEM in situ uniaxial tensile testing setup allowing HR-EBSD acquisition during
deformation was used to study the extension twinning mechanism in magnesium (Mg) at the …

This study aims to characterize the critical resolved shear stresses (CRSSs) of slip and
twinning in magnesium crystals, as a function of temperature, under conditions of imposed …
