articleOpen access1st authorCorresponding
Material processing induces texture development which in turn results in anisotropy in the macroscopic plastic properties. Improvement of the finite-element predictions of the geometry of the final part (e.g. shape, thickness reduction) necessitates accurate modelling of the plastic anisotropy. In this paper, we show that a polycrystalline model for which the grain level behavior is described using a recent invariant-based single crystal model enables us to gain insights onto the role of the wei…
