Two-scale models of polycrystals: Evaluation of validity of Ilyushin’s isotropy postulate at large displacement gradients

Аннотация

This paper discusses multiscale models of inelastic deformation of single- and polycrystals, which are based on crystal plasticity theories, as applied to the verification and justification of Ilyushin’s isotropy postulate (in a special form) at large displacement gradients. Different approaches to motion decomposition on the macroscale into quasi-rigid (described by the motion of a corotational coordinate system) and strain-induced motion (a relatively moving coordinate system) are considered. The strain path is defined in terms of a moving coordinate system. Corresponding kinematic effects are defined in terms of a laboratory coordinate system. In this case, the loading process image is constructed and loading conditions are specified in terms of the moving coordinate system. Calculations are performed for two types of strain paths with different curvature by assuming two different hypotheses about quasi-rigid motion on the macroscale: (i) the spin of the moving coordinate system is equal to an averaged mesoscale spin, and (ii) the spin is equal to the macroscale vortex. It is shown that the isotropy postulate is more valid in the case of assuming the first hypothesis.
