Influence of Spatial Grain Orientation Distribution on Sheet Metal Necking

Necking under in-plane plane strain tension along the transverse direction (TD) is numerically simulated for two sheets: one with very high Cube (HC) and the other with low Cube (LC). To do so, the EBSD measurement is performed in the TD-ND (normal direction) section for the sheets. The EBSD map (grain orientations and their spatial distributions) is directly implemented into the crystal plasticity based finite element code. More specifically, …
