The role of microstructure is quite significant in fretting of Ti-6Al-4V since its material properties depend strongly on crystallographic texture. In this study, we adopt crystal plasticity theory with a 2-D planar triple slip idealization to account fur microstructure effects such as grain orientation distribution, grain geometry, as well as $\alpha$ colony size. Crystal plasticity simulations suggest strong implications of microstructure effects at fretting contacts.

Plasticity of clay bodies containing bottom ashes(BA) and small portion of other wastes was investigated. Plasticity indices of clay bodies using Atterberg limits were measured. It was confirmed that the plasticity indices could be applicable in actual forming process by extrusion. The forming possible compositions were found by changing the contents of water, bottom ash, stone dust, and sewage sludge. The relationship between the plasticity and physical properties of the aggregate green body was also investigated. The compositions for extrusion forming can be expected by measured the plasticity indices and these results were confirmed by real extrusion process. There is also strong relationship between the plasticity indices and the property of aggregate green body.

It is known that the mim forming processes show somewhat different phenomena compared with the conventional metal forming processes, namely, the size effect, enhanced friction effect and etc. Such typical phenomena, however, are not predicted by the conventional finite element analysis, which has been an efficient numerical tool to predict the metal forming processes. It is due to the fact that the constitutive relations used does not describe the microstructural characteristics of the materials. In the present investigation, the finite element formulation using the rate-dependent rigid plastic crystal plasticity model of the face-centered cubic materials is conducted to predict the micro mechanical behaviors during the mim forming processes. The finite element analysis, however, provides mesh-dependent solutions for the intragranular deformations. Therefore, the couple stress energy is additionally introduced into the variational principle and formulated within the framework of the rigid plastic finite element method to obtain mesh-independent solutions. Micro deformations of single crystal and bicrystal with various orientations are calculated to show the potential of the developed formulation.

Fretting fatigue is often the root cause of the nucleation of cracks at attachments of structural components. Since fretting fatigue damage accumulation occurs over relatively small volumes, the subsurface cyclic plastic strain is expected to be rather non-uniformly distributed in polycrystalline materials. The scale of the cyclic plasticity and the damage process zones is often on the order of microstructure dimensions. Fretting damage analyses using cyclic crystal plasticity constitutive models have the potential to account for the influence of size, morphology, and crystallographic orientation of grains on fretting damage evolution. Two-dimensional plane strain simulations of fretting fatigue are performed using the cyclic properties of Ti-6Al-4V. The crystal plasticity simulations are compared to an initially isotropic $J_{2}$ theory with nonlinear kinematic hardening as well as to experiments. The influence of initially isotropic versus textured microstructure in the presence of crystallographic slip is studied.

A strain-gradient crystal plasticity constitutive model was developed in order to predict the Hall-Petch behavior of a Ni-base polycrystalline superalloy. The constitutive model involves statistically stored dislocation and geometrically necessary dislocation densities, which were incorporated into the Bailey-Hirsch type flow stress equation with six strength interaction coefficients. A strain-gradient term (called slip-system lattice incompatibility) developed by Acharya was used to calculate the geometrically necessary dislocation density. The description of Kocks-Argon-Ashby type thermally activated strain rate was also used to represent the shear rate of an individual slip system. The constitutive model was implemented in a user material subroutine for crystal plasticity finite element method simulations. The grain size dependence of the flow stress (viz., the Hall-Petch behavior) was predicted for a Ni-base polycrystalline superalloy NIMONIC PE16. Simulation results showed that the present constitutive model fairly reasonably predicts 0.2%-offset yield stresses in a limited range of the grain size.

In the current study, a rate-dependent crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM) was used to simulate flow stress behavior and texture evolution of a body-centered cubic (BCC) crystalline material during plastic deformation at room temperature. To account for crystallographic slip and rotation, a rate-dependent crystal constitutive law with a hardening model was incorporated into an in-house finite element program, CAMPform3D. Microstructural heterogeneity and anisotropy were handled by assigning a crystallographic orientation to each integration point of the element and determining the stiffness matrix of the individual crystal. Uniaxial tensile tests of single crystals with different crystallographic orientations were simulated to determine the material parameters in the hardening model. The texture evolution during four different deformation modes - uniaxial tension, uniaxial compression, channel die compression, and simple shear deformation - was investigated based on the comparison with experimental data available in the literature.

Addressing the challenge of identifying an appropriate set of material and irradiation parameters for accurate simulation models using crystal plasticity finite element method (CPFEM), this study proposes a novel two-stage method for nano-indentation modeling of ion-irradiated face-centered cubic (FCC) materials. It includes implementing the strain-gradient crystal plasticity (SGCP) theory with irradiation effects and the calibration of simulation parameters using the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm with experimental data. The proposed method consists of two stages: establishing CPFEM without irradiation effects in stage 1 and modeling irradiation effects based on CPFEM in stage 2. Modeling the nano-indentation test of ion-irradiated stainless steel 304 (SS304) using real experimental data is conducted to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed method. The accuracy of the calibration method using PSO is verified through comparisons between simulation and experimental results for force-indentation depth and hardness-indentation depth relationships under both unirradiated and irradiated conditions. Moreover, effect of ion-irradiation on the mechanical behavior during the nano-indentation of single crystal SS304 is also examined to demonstrate that the proposed method is a powerful approach for nano-indentation modeling of ion-irradiated FCC single crystals using SGCP theory and the PSO algorithm.

A finite element analysis model is suggested for analysis of forming process of milli structure whose size is from a few hundreds ${\mu}m$ to a few mm. In this paper, finite element formulation which assemble crystal plasticity theory considering texture development with damage mechanics is developed, since orientation development and growth of micro voids became the primary factors for deformation aspects in large deformation of milli structure. Applying to, extremely, extrusion process of single crystal and extrusion/drawing process of polycrystal milli-size bar, extrusion force, preferred orientation, and damage evolution are examined to understand the characteristics of deformation of milii-size bar.

In order to characterize the macroscopic mechanical response of ultra-thin (0.1 mm thick) ferritic stainless steel sheet at various loading paths, a crystal plasticity finite element method (CP-FEM) was introduced. The accuracy of the prediction results was validated by comparing with the experimental data. Based on the results, the forming limit diagram (FLD) was predicted using a modified Marchinicak-Kuczinski model coupled to a non-quadratic anisotropic yield function, namely, Yld2000-2d. The predicted FLD was found to be in good agreement with the experimental data.

The texture evolution by deep drawing was investigated and the lattice rotation rate was predicted using rate sensitive model with full constraints boundary conditions. The calculated textures show different behaviors with the amount of the flange deformation and initial crystal orientations. Among the crystal orientations located parallel to RD, the crystal orientations around the D component rotated toward the Cu component, the crystal orientations along the ${\alpha}$ fiber rotated toward the {110}<001> and {110}<111> components during deep drawing. In the case of the part parallel to 45$^{\circ}$ with respect to RD, the crystal orientations around the D component rotated about ND and the crystal orientations along the ${\alpha}$ fiber also rotated toward the (110)[23] and (110)[27] components about ND. In the part parallel to TD, the crystal orientations around the D component rotated toward the Rotated Cube and the crystal orientations along the ${\alpha}$ fiber rotated toward the {110}<113> component.
