Predicting the complete tensile properties of additively manufactured Ti-6Al-4V by integrating three-dimensional microstructure statistics with a crystal plasticity model

A multiscale finite element model integrating microstructure statistics with an enhanced three-dimensional (3D) crystal plasticity model including damage has been developed to predict the complete tensile stress-strain response of Ti-6Al-4V manufactured by selective laser melting. A statistically equivalent representative volume element (SERVE) was constructed from an orthogonal set of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) images capturing key...
