Abstract Scope |
Deformation Twinning plays an important role in the plasticity of hexagonal close-packed (HCP) materials. In Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Method (CPFEM), it is challenging to represent deformation twinning due to their grain-sized length and time scales, but its explicit modeling is crucial for studying the evolution physics of twinning. In this work, we explicitly represent deformation twinning as an embedded weak discontinuity inside each element within the CPFEM. This method uses Hu-Washizu type variational formulation to naturally capture evolving discontinuities without the need for re-meshing. Compatibility of displacement and traction continuity across the discontinuity are also maintained. We present this computational framework for three dimensions for the first time and consider its application to high-purity HCP Titanium. We consider the dominant slip and twin systems in pure Titanium and present how this simulation framework with experiments can help us validate the growth and propagation physics of twinning. |
