Non-local large-strain FFT-based formulation and its application to interface-dominated plasticity of nano-metallic laminates

Miroslav Zecevic et al.

Summary: This paper presents a new formulation and numerical implementation of a strain-gradient crystal plasticity model within a large-strain elasto-viscoplastic fast Fourier transform-based micromechanical model. The model is used to study the formation of kink bands during layer-parallel compression of nano-metallic laminates. The interaction between dislocations and interfaces is considered in the model to accurately simulate the behavior of the layered composites.

New large-strain FFT-based formulation and its application to model strain localization in nano-metallic laminates and other strongly anisotropic crystalline materials

Miroslav Zecevic et al.

Summary: This paper presents a new robust formulation based on Fast Fourier Transforms for the prediction of the micro-mechanical response and microstructure evolution of polycrystalline and multiphase materials. It takes into account the effect of anisotropy on plastic deformation localization and allows treatment of complex initial geometries and large deformations. The formulation is validated and applied to various materials, showing good agreement with experimental results.

Elastic equilibrium of spherical particle composites with transversely isotropic interphase and incoherent material interface

Volodymyr I. Kushch

Summary: The rigorous analytical solution to the unit cell model of spherical particle composite with transversely isotropic interphase and incoherent material interface has been obtained by the multipole expansion method. The developed model expands the theory of curved deformable interfaces of Gurtin et al. on the incoherent interfaces between the dissimilar elastic materials and provides a certain insight into the interface elastic moduli. Taking incoherency of the nano level interfaces into account enables more realistic models and thus increases the predictive power the homogenization theory of nanostructured solids.

New self-consistent homogenization for thermo-elastic polycrystals with imperfect interfaces

Miroslav Zecevic et al.

Summary: This paper presents a new thermo-elastic self-consistent formulation for calculating the thermo-mechanical response of polycrystalline aggregates with imperfect interfaces. The model provides improved treatment of imperfect interfaces on micromechanical response compared to pre-existing models, and can be extended to study other material systems and deformation regimes.

Model reduction by mean-field homogenization in viscoelastic composites. III. Dual theory

Noel Lahellec et al.

Summary: The mean-field homogenization scheme for viscoelastic composites proposed by Lahellec & Suquet was revisited and shown to generate a reduced-order approximation with a two-potential structure and a non-convex force potential. The properties and implications of the approximation were discussed, along with proofs of equivalence to other candidate schemes in the literature.

Homogenization of Composites With Extended General Interfaces: Comprehensive Review and Unified Modeling

S. Firooz et al.

Summary: This paper introduces an extended general interface model that allows interfaces to take arbitrary positions between their bulk neighbors, recovering classical interface models. By considering interface position and properties, limits and estimates for the overall moduli of fiber-reinforced and particle-reinforced composites are developed. A comprehensive numerical study highlights the significant influences of interface position, stiffness ratio, and interface parameters on the overall properties of composites.
