This paper presents a crystallographically-based constitutive model of a single crystal deforming by climb and glide. The proposed constitutive law is an extension of the rate-sensitivity approach for single crystal plasticity by dislocation glide. Based on this description at single crystal level, a homogenization-based polycrystal model for aggregates deforming in a climb-controlled thermal creep regime is developed. To illustrate the capabilities of the proposed model, we present calculations of effective behavior of olivine and texture evolution of aluminum at warm temperature and low strain rate. In both cases, the addition of climb as a complementary single-crystal deformation mechanism improves the polycrystal model predictions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
