Investigation of the In-Plane Mechanical Anisotropy of Magnesium Alloy AZ31B-O by VPSC–TDT Crystal Plasticity Model

The in-plane mechanical anisotropy of magnesium alloy sheet, which significantly influences the design of the parts produced by Mg alloy sheets, is of great importance regarding its wide application. Though the stress–strain response and texture evolution have been intensively investigated, and the anisotropy of Mg alloy can be significantly substantiated by its R-value, which reveals the lateral response of a material other than the primary...
