Abstract

A unified dislocation density-based microstructural representation of f.c.c. crystalline materials, has been developed such that the microstructural behavior can be accurately predicted at different physical scales. This microstructural framework is based on coupling a multiple-slip crystal plasticity formulation to three distinct dislocation densities, which pertain to statistically stored dislocations (SSDs), geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs), and grain boundary dislocations (GBDs). This interrelated dislocation-density formulation is then used with specialized finite-element modeling techniques to predict the evolving heterogeneous microstructure and the localized phenomena that can contribute to failure initiation as a function of inelastic deformation.
