Crystal plastic finite element simulation of anisotropy in natural aged 2198 Al-Li alloy sheet
The crystal plastic finite element model of natural aged 2198 Al-Li alloy sheet was established based on electron back scattering diffraction(EBSD)data,and the effects of five basic plastic parameters(initial hardening modulus,strain rate sensitivity coefficient,ref-erence strain rate,initial critical shear stress,saturated flow stress)on the plastic deformation behavior were studied by using the control variable method.By introducing the cost function and optimizing each plastic parameter,the plastic parameters which can describe the an-isotropy of the natural aged 2198 Al-Li alloy sheet were obtained.The predicted stress-strain curves along RD and TD directions are in good agreement with the test results.The crystal orientation evolution and the contribution of 12 slip systems to the plastic deformation of natural aged 2198 Al-Li alloy sheet during unidirectional tensile process were predicted by means of crystal plastic finite element method.It is found that(111)[10-1]slip system contributes the most to the unidirectional tensile plastic deformation of the natural aged 2198 Al-Li alloy sheet.The natural aged 2198 Al-Li alloy sheet has a strong[011]//TD texture when stretched along RD.
