OBJECTIVE METHODOLOGY
Development of multiscale constitutive model for ductile failure using RVE • Void growth in CP-Ti (𝛼 phase, HCP) single crystals
based simulation of titanium alloys having slip, twin and strain induced was studied using slip based crystal plasticity theory
martensitic transformation crystal plasticity mechanisms • Parameters required for CPFEM were found using
inverse modelling approach

CONCLUSION & FUTURE PLANS

• Void growth varies with change in triaxiality, initial void volume
f=0.001 f=0.01 fraction and crystal orientation
• Void growth increase exponentially with equivalent strain (Fig 3) • Plastic response of material with a void embedded have strong
• Void growth increases with triaxiality for the given strain (Fig 3) dependency on these factors
• Void with high Initial void fraction grow slower (Fig 3) • Rigorous RVE simulations, incorporating twinning and SIM
• Orientation effect is negligible in void growth (Fig 3) based crystal plasticity, to quantify the effect of parameters
• Stress evolution with strain in material with voids shows strong • Development of ductile failure model for metals that will
dependency on stress triaxiality, initial void volume fraction and possibly alleviate the need of money and time extensive testing
orientation of crystal (Fig 4, 5 & 7)
