Coupled crystal plasticity – Probabilistic cellular automata approach to model dynamic recrystallization in magnesium alloys

This study presents a framework to simulate dynamic recrystallization (DRX) in hexagonal closed packed (HCP) metals and alloys using crystal plasticity based finite element model (CPFEM) coupled with a probabilistic cellular automata (CA) approach, as applied to Mg alloys. The CPFEM takes as input the microstructural information from experimental measurements and computes local dislocation density evolution corresponding to active deformation …
