Single crystal and polycrystal elasto-viscoplasticity: Application to earing in cup drawing of F.C.C. materials (Q1910956)

Constitutive equations for single and polycrystal elasto-viscoplasticity which are capable of modeling the initial and evolving anisotropy in ductile metallic materials due to the evolution of crystallographic texture are reviewed, and the implementation of these equations in a finite element program is described. The constitutive equations and computational procedures are used to simulate the formation of earing defects during cup-drawing of face-centered cubic materials.
