Delineation of first-order closures for plastic properties requiring explicit consideration of strain hardening and crystallographic texture evolution

Microstructure Sensitive Design (MSD) is a novel mathematical framework that facilitates development of invertible linkages between statistical description of the material’s microstructure and its effective properties. Property closures are an important outcome of the MSD methodology, and delineate the complete set of theoretically feasible effective (homogenized) anisotropic property combinations in a given material system for a selected …
