This paper reviews the current state of the art in the simulation of the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials by means of computational homogenization. The key ingredients of …
Crystal Plasticity (CP) modeling is a powerful and well established computational materials science tool to investigate mechanical structure–property relations in crystalline materials. It …
A significant improvement over existing models for the prediction of the macromechanical response of structural materials can be achieved by means of a more refined treatment of …
In this article, we propose to discretize the problem of linear elastic homogenization by finite differences on a staggered grid and introduce fast and robust solvers. Our method shares …
Efficient spectral methods are developed to predict the micromechanical behaviour of plastically deforming heterogeneous materials. The direct and mixed variational conditions …
The FFT‐based homogenization method of Moulinec–Suquet has recently emerged as a powerful tool for computing the macroscopic response of complex microstructures for elastic …
Modelling the mechanical behavior of polycrystalline materials based on their evolving microstructure and the anisotropic properties of their constituent single crystal grains is …
We present the numerical implementation of a non-local polycrystal plasticity theory using the FFT-based formulation of Suquet and co-workers. Gurtin (2002) non-local formulation …
A numerical implementation of a non-local polycrystal plasticity theory based on a mesoscale version of the field dislocation mechanics theory (MFDM) of Acharya and Roy …
