Crystal Plasticity Based Numerical Modelling of Dynamic Recrystallization in Magnesium Alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2015-01-20)The automotive industry has not been able to take full advantage of the lightweight of magnesium, or its alloys, because of its reduced formability at room temperature. In order to enhance the workability of magnesium ... -
Room and Elevated Temperature Constitutive Response of Polycrystalline Materials Exhibiting Tension-Compression Asymmetry under Monotonic Loading
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-09)A continuum plasticity yield function is developed that captures tension/compression asymmetry and its evolution as exhibited by HCP materials such as magnesium alloy sheet. The model, referred to herein as “CPB06ex3ev”, ...
