Simulation of texture evolution in magnesium alloy: Comparisons of different polycrystal plasticity modeling approaches

Three polycrystal plasticity modeling approaches: Taylor model, self-consistent (SC) model, and crystal plasticity based finite element method (CPFEM) have been mainly applied to simulate texture evolution of magnesium alloy. To examine the influence of different approaches on simulated results, comparisons between material point simulation based on Taylor model and that based on elastic–plastic self consistent (EPSC) model are conducted....
