An efficient full-field crystal plasticity-based M–K framework to study the effect of 3D microstructural features on the formability of polycrystalline materials

In this paper, the new rate tangent–fast Fourier transform-based elasto-viscoplastic crystal plasticity (CP) constitutive framework (RTCP-FFT) developed by Nagra et al (2017 Int. J. Plast. 98 65–82) is implemented in the so-called Marciniak–Kuczynski (M–K) (Marciniak and Kuczyński 1967 Int. J. Mech. Sci. 9 609–20) framework to predict the forming limit diagrams (FLDs) of face-centered cubic polycrystals. The RTCP-FFT approach that accounts for …
