Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention is a stress-strain relational equation (hereinafter referred to as constitutive equation) that focuses on the fact that plastic deformation (slip deformation) occurs when slip shear stress acts on a metal crystal above the critical shear stress on the slip system. In addition, we propose a program for the constitutive equation's stress-strain curve that takes into account back stress (the application of shear stress in the opposite direction to slip deformation at the grain boundary). [Background technology]
[0002] Previously, tension and compression tests were conducted by determining the stress-strain constitutive equation for macroscopic behavior using a viscoplastic constitutive equation. Here, we decided to use a crystal plasticity constitutive equation, take into account crystal slippage, and use a program to determine a method that will help determine the material constants of the constitutive equation that also takes into account the Bauschinger effect in tension and compression tests. In previous literature, non-patent literature, such as the Chugoku-Shikoku Branch General Meeting and Lecture Collection, "Repeated Plasticity Analysis Using Crystal Plasticity," the constitutive equation and work hardening law are described, but not much detail is given. Here, we decided to set up a crystal plasticity constitutive equation for each crystal. [Prior art documents] [Non-patent literature]
[0003] [Non-Patent Document 1] Chugoku-Shikoku Branch General Meeting, Lectures, Proceedings of the Seminar, Repeated Plasticity Analysis Using Crystal Plasticity Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] A numerical simulation is made that takes polycrystalline bodies into account using the constitutive equation of a simple tension-compression test. Here, we will show a method for determining the material parameter C of the back stress of the stress-strain curve using the results of a tension-compression test that shows the Bauschinger effect (the compression yield force is smaller than the tensile yield force) by drawing a stress-strain curve. By doing this, the Bauschinger effect can be matched with the results of a numerical simulation and a tension-compression test. In other words, a press working simulation can be performed by inputting this material constant C or material constant C and a into the finite element method. This numerical simulation can also analyze the numerical simulation of springback. In other words, it is possible to derive the work hardening law from anisotropy in the crystal orientation of each crystal, a single crystal tensile test, and perform a complex press working numerical simulation (with springback) to determine the processing conditions.
