Research directions
The research in this initiative shall contribute to improved polycrystal modeling on various scales ranging from plasticity of a single crystallite over mesoscopic grain aggregates up to the scale of whole components. The following lists give a brief overview of the main activities.
Metal physics of crystal plasticity
 | mechanical twinning in face-centered cubic and hexagonal close-packed lattices
|
| displacive phase transformations, especially martensite formation from meta-stable austenite
|
| deformation-induced nucleation of damage at grain boundaries |
Polycrystal homogenization at continuum mechanical material points
| self-consistent inclusion
|
| grain cluster
|
| multi-phase materials |
Forming simulations
| statistical crystal plasticity FEM with material point homogenization
|
| representation of texture on a component FE mesh
|
| improved analytical yield loci |
