The calculation procedure of the continuum mechanics of textured polycrystals (CMTP) method is reviewed to estimate calculating time with various yield functions (YFs). A so-called semi-quadratic YF is proposed to eliminate time-consuming numerical calculation and avoid the decrease of prediction precision. The reasonability of the new YF is proved by making the comparisons between predicted R-values and earing behaviour for some materials and the experimental results.
