A rate dependent strain gradient plasticity framework for the description of plastic slip patterning in a system with non-convex energetic hardening is presented. Both the displacement and the plastic slip fields are considered as primary variables. These fields are determined on a global level by solving simultaneously the linear momentum balance and the slip evolution equation which is postulated in a thermodynamically consistent manner. The slip law differs from classical ones in the sense that it includes a non-convex free energy term, which enables patterning of the deformation field. The formulation of the computational framework is at least partially dual to a Ginzburg-Landau type of phase field modeling approach. The essential difference resides in the fact that a strong coupling exists between the deformation and the evolution of the plastic slip, whereas in the phase field type models the governing fields are only weakly coupled. The derivations and implementations are done in a transparent 1D setting, which allows for a thorough mechanistic understanding, not excluding its extension to multidimensional cases.

Plastic slip patterning through rate dependent non convex gradient enhanced plasticity
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; GEERS, M G D (2011-12-09)
The paper presents a non‐convex rate dependent strain gradient plasticity framework for the description of plastic slip patterning in metal crystals. The non‐convexity is treated as an intrinsic property of the free energy of the material. Departing from explicit expressions for the free energy, the non‐convex strain gradient crystal plasticity model is derived in a thermodynamically consistent manner, including the accompanying slip law. For the numerical solution of the problem, the displacement and the p...
Plastic deformation induced microstructure evolution through gradient enhanced crystal plasticity based on a non-convex Helmholtz energy
Klusemann, Benjamin; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (Elsevier BV, 2013-09-01)
A gradient crystal plasticity model in the framework of continuum thermodynamics and rate variational formulation is presented for the description of plastic deformation patterning in a system with non-convex energetic hardening. The paper focuses on the extension of the 1D deformation patterning analysis of Yalcinkaya et al. (2011) to 2D for monotonic loading histories. Solution algorithm is based on the simultaneous solution of displacement and plastic slip fields, which have been considered as primary va...
Strain gradient crystal plasticity: Intergranular microstructure formation
Özdemir, İzzet; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (Springer International Publishing, 2016-01-01)
This chapter addresses the formation and evolution of inhomogeneous plastic deformation field between grains in polycrystalline metals by focusing on continuum scale modeling of dislocation-grain boundary interactions within a strain gradient crystal plasticity (SGCP) framework. Thermodynamically consistent extension of a particular strain gradient plasticity model, addressed previously (see also, e.g., Yalcinkaya et al, J Mech Phys Solids 59:1-17, 2011), is presented which incorporates the effect of grain ...
Strain Path Change Effects in a BCC Crystal Plasticity Framework
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2006-10-26)
The presentation outlines a temperature dependent, strain rate sensitive crystal plasticity model at finite strains which is aimed to be used in the modeling of strain path change effects for BCC structured materials. Plastic anisotropy in BCC crystals originates from different sources at different length scales. Slip asymmetry and intrinsic anisotropic effects caused by screw dislocation cores are the ones at the micro level, the development of dislocation sub-structures is relevant at meso lev...
Strain gradient crystal plasticity: thermodynamics and implementation
Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (Springer, 2016-01-01)
This chapter studies the thermodynamical consistency and the finite element implementation aspects of a rate-dependent nonlocal (strain gradient) crystal plasticity model, which is used to address the modeling of the size-dependent behavior of polycrystalline metallic materials. The possibilities and required updates for the simulation of dislocation microstructure evolution, grain boundary-dislocation interaction mechanisms, and localization leading to necking and fracture phenomena are shortly discussed a...
