Abstract

The effect of crystal orientation on the discontinuous deformation and coarse slip bands in aluminum single crystals has been investigated by finite element simulation. The numerical analysis is based on a rate-dependent crystal plasticity model recently formulated by us with modifications made here that explicitly accounts for the three strain hardening stages and the effect of the interaction of dislocations and alloying elements on setting the hardening rules on the individual slip systems of the aluminum alloy crystal. The dependence of the magnitude of the serrations of tensile stress-strain curves on orientation and its evolution over the three strain hardening stages of Al-0.3%Mg single crystals observed experimentally has been successfully explained in this investigation.
