Within their granular microstructure, metals show crystalline nature: the atoms are arranged on a regular space lattice. The macroscopically observable plastic deformation can be traced back to shearing or sliding of atoms on defined slip planes in the crystal. Depending on the present structure, predictions can be made about the slip behaviour. At the same time, crystal grains can be observed in the microstructure; regions, where atomic dislocation movements in the same directions take place and at whose borders atoms can pile up.

A suitable material model considering plastic anisotropy through atomic dislocations is to be found on the microstructural level, whereas the elastic and plastic material parameters will be determined in cooperation with the research project C4. For the representative volume elements, randomly distributed geometries on the microscale are assumed, based on the received microstructural data. Through homogenisation, effective stress-strain relations are gained for different boundary conditions being the outcome for an effective material model. After an assumption for an effective material model has been made, the material parameters have to be determined through optimisation techniques. The results obtained by simulations will be validated with experimental data obtained from material specimens and formed structures.

Finding the representative volume element: polycrystals of different sizes

Homogenised stress-strain-curves
To carry out the entire computational simulation, it is necessary to model and discretise the polycrystalline structures of the microstructure. In order to develop an anisotropic elastoplastic material model, the slip systems are considered in the plastic part of the deformation gradient and plastic gliding is modelled within these systems. The continuum mechanical model is gained through consistent derivation of the stress response and the elastic and plastic material tangent. As the slip systems are more easily actived under deviatoric deformation, it is split from the volumetric deformation.

The polycrystalline structure is subjected to deviatoric and volumetric loading.
The geometry of polycrystalline materials will be simulated by three-dimensional Voronoi tesselations, whereas a single crystal of the material is represented by a Voronoi cell. Meshing will be done with respect to the borders of every crystal, so that crystals may have different material properties and orientations. The problems concerning the geometry generation and the interface development lead to questions about the manipulation of three-dimensional subdivisions. A three-dimensional Voronoi tesselation can be obtained by its dual graph, the Delaunay tesselation, by making use of space duality concepts. For the two-dimensional case, space duality, Delaunay and Voronoi decompositions can be implemented by using the quad-edge data structure. A three dimensional generalisation of the quad-edge data structure and its topological operations are to be found.
