A new empirical equation for termination of twinning in magnesium alloys

Since it is rare that a grain can be fully twinned, an empirical equation has been introduced in the current crystal plasticity models to terminate twinning within that grain. In the present paper, a new empirical equation for describing the termination of twinning in magnesium alloys is developed. The new description introduces only a single parameter, while the widely used empirical equation involves two parameters. It is demonstrated that it …
