On the modeling of deformation mechanisms in a Mg-3Al-1Zn alloy under biaxial tension

Although the {10-12} twinning behavior of Mg alloys under uniaxial tension and compression has been extensively investigated, the simulations of {10-12} twinning behavior under biaxial tension have rarely been reported. In this work, the EVPSC-TDT model is first employed to systematically investigate the deformation behavior of a Mg alloy AZ31 plate under biaxial tension in the RD-TD and ND-TD planes. The RD, TD and ND refer to the rolling …
