Crystal plasticity modeling and neutron diffraction measurements of a magnesium AZ31B plate: Effects of plastic anisotropy and surrounding grains

This study used in-situ neutron diffraction measurements and Elastic ViscoPlastic Self-Consistent polycrystal plasticity model, which incorporates a Twinning and DeTwinning scheme (denoted by EVPSC-TDT), to examine the macro-and micro-mechanical behaviors of a rolled AZ31B plate subjected to uniaxial tension. Three specimens were specifically designed for minimum, maximum and intermediate twinning: (1) loading along the rolling direction, (2) …
