Fire exposure causes significant mechanical property degradation of metallic materials. This paper investigates the influence of fire exposure on mechanical response of AA5083 through in situ neutron diffraction tensile tests and crystal plasticity finite element simulations. The Mechanical Threshold Stress (MTS) model is utilized, with a focus on the lattice strain response under tensile loading before and after exposure. A rigorous material parameter calibration procedure is proposed for this MTS model directly based on yield stress, plastic flow, hardening and rate dependency as a function of temperature, requiring only the macroscopic stress-strain curve. Material parameters of virgin material and fire-exposed material with full recrystallization are calibrated separately using this procedure. To initiate the investigation of mechanical degradation caused by fire exposure, a fire-exposed specimen with partial recrystallization is simulated by assigning material parameters and texture of recrystallized grains to selected grains in the virgin material according to the recrystallization fraction. Experimentally measured stress-strain curves and lattice strain evolution are employed to validate the simulations. For the first time, the local mechanical response of AA5083 is compared between in situ testing and finite element simulations, and the discrepancies of lattice strain evolution between virgin and fire-exposed material are discussed. Finally, the influence of fire-exposure on stress and lattice strain distribution is investigated to provide insight into mechanical property degradation. (C) 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
