At grain scale, polycrystalline materials develop heterogeneous plastic deformation fields, localizations and stress concentrations due to variation of grain orientations, geometries and defects. Development of inter-granular stresses due to misorientation are crucial for a range of grain boundary (GB) related failure mechanisms, such as stress corrosion cracking (SCC) and fatigue cracking. Local crystal plasticity finite element modelling of polycrystalline metals at micron scale results in stress jumps at the grain boundaries. Moreover, the concepts such as the transmission of dislocations between grains and strength of the grain boundaries are not included in the modelling. The higher order strain gradient crystal plasticity modelling approaches offer the possibility of defining grain boundary conditions. However, these conditions are mostly not dependent on misorientation of grains and can define only extreme cases. For a proper definition of grain boundary behavior in plasticity, a model for grain boundary behavior should be incorporated into the plasticity framework. In this context, a particular grain boundary model ([l]) is incorporated into a strain gradient crystal plasticity framework ([2]). In a 3-D setting, both bulk and grain boundary models are implemented as user-defined elements in Abaqus. The strain gradient crystal plasticity model works in the bulk elements and considers displacements and plastic slips as degree of freedoms. Interface elements model the plastic slip behavior, yet they do not possess any kind of mechanical cohesive behavior. The physical aspects of grain boundaries and the performance of the model are addressed through numerical examples.

Plastic slip patterns through rate-independent and rate-dependent plasticity Lancioni, Giovanni; Yalçınkaya, Tuncay (2014-05-09) Plastic deformation induces various types of dislocation microstructures at different length scales, which eventually results in a heterogeneous deformation field in metallic materials. Development of such structures manifests themselves as macroscopic hardening/softening response and plastic anisotropy during strain path changes, which is often observed during forming processes. In this paper we present two different non-local plasticity models based on non-convex potentials to simulate the intrinsic rate-...
Intrinsic and Statistical Size Effects in Microforming Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Simonovski, Igor; ÖZDEMİR, İZZET (2017-04-28) This paper analyzes the intrinsic (grain size dependent) and the statistical (grain number and orientation distribution dependent) size effects of micron level polycrystalline metallic specimens under plastic deformation through a strain gradient crystal plasticity framework. The macroscopic and local behavior of specimens from very limited number of grains to high number of grains are studied and the results are discussed in detail taking into account different boundary conditions.
Micromechanical Modelling of Size Effects in Microforming Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; SIMONOVSKI, IGOR; ÖZDEMİR, İZZET (2017-09-01) This paper deals with the micromechanical modelling of the size dependent mechanical response of polycrystalline metallic materials at micron scale through a strain gradient crystal plasticity framework. The model is implemented into a Finite Element software as a coupled implicit user element subroutine where the plastic slip and displacement fields are taken as global variables. Uniaxial tensile tests are conducted for microstructures having different number of grains with random orientations in plane str...
Non-convex rate dependent strain gradient crystal plasticity and deformation patterning Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Geers, M.G.D. (2012-09-15) A rate dependent strain gradient crystal plasticity framework is presented where the displacement and the plastic slip fields are considered as primary variables. These coupled fields are determined on a global level by solving simultaneously the linear momentum balance and the slip evolution equation, which is derived in a thermodynamically consistent manner. The formulation is based on the 1D theory presented in Yalcinkaya et al. (2011), where the patterning of plastic slip is obtained in a system with no...
Three dimensional fracture analysis of FGM coatings Inan, O; Dağ, Serkan; Erdogan, F (2005-01-01) In this study the three - dimensional surface cracking of a graded coating bonded to a homogeneous substrate is considered. The main objective is to model the subcritical crack growth process in the coated medium under a cyclic mechanical or thermal loading. Because of symmetry, along the crack front conditions of mode I fracture and plane strain deformations are assumed to be satisfied. Thus, at a given location on the crack front the crack propagation rate would be a function of the mode I stress intensit...
