Modeling inelastic behavior of magnesium alloys during cyclic loading–unloading

The inelastic behavior presenting in magnesium alloys during cyclic loading–unloading have been investigated through the finite strain elastic viscoplastic self-consistent (EVPSC) model for polycrystals (EVPSC-TDT), which has been updated by implementing the twinning and de-twinning (TDT) model. Corresponding to the existing experiments of extruded bars of Mg alloys, we constructed the extruded bars of magnesium alloys with different initial …
