Latent hardening and plastic anisotropy evolution in AA6060 aluminium alloy

The crystal plasticity theory predicts that hardening on a particular slip system and its corresponding work-hardening rate will depend on the slip activity on both this slip system and all others. The exact form of this dependence is defined by the latent hardening description in form of the latent hardening matrix or the interaction matrix. It has been assumed that this matrix describes the relative strength of various dislocation interactions...
