Crystalline elasticity anisotropy is often neglected in the study of microplasticity mechanisms
of polycrystals, even for highly anisotropic metals such as copper and austenite. A finite …

Homogenization estimates based on the self-consistent scheme are customarily used to
describe the plastic yielding of polycrystals. Such estimates of the initial micro yield surface …

Mechanical and diffraction (X-ray) elastic constants (diffraction (X-ray) stress factors for
macroscopically elastically anisotropic specimens) can be calculated for polycrystalline …

The effect of the grain-shape ('morphological') texture of a polycrystal on the mechanical
elastic constants and diffraction (X-ray) stress factors is investigated. To this end, the …

The effect of three-dimensional (3D) grain morphology on the deformation at a free surface
in polycrystalline aggregates is investigated by means of a large-scale finite element and …

The single crystal elastic anisotropy is one of the most important properties affecting the
macroscopic response of polycrystalline materials, both in the elastic regime and the early …

It is well documented that the highly heterogeneous deformation behaviour and lattice
rotation typically observed within grains in a polycrystal are attributed to microstructural …

Initially isotropic aggregates of crystalline grains show a texture-induced anisotropy of both
their inelastic and elastic behavior when submitted to large inelastic deformations. The latter …

Polycrystals are full of all kinds of heterogeneities which introduce stress concentrations.
The local stress field in a grain does not depend solely on its crystallographic orientation. In …

The elastic grain interaction due to surface anisotropy and morphological ('grain-shape')
texture in real, polycrystalline materials has been considered. It has been demonstrated for …
