A New Thermo-Elasto-Viscoplastic Crystal Plasticity Framework to Predict the Formability of Aluminum Alloys at Elevated Temperatures

Abstract

A new thermo-elasto-viscoplastic (TEV) crystal plasticity constitutive formulation is developed and implemented in the well-known Marciniak-Kuczynski analysis to predict the formability of aluminum alloys (AA) 5754 and 3003 at elevated temperatures. The model takes into account the temperature dependence of the single crystal elastic coefficients, single slip hardening parameters, thermal softening and slip rate sensitivity. Temperature …
