Numerical Simulations of Uniaxial Tension Behaviour of Aluminum Single Crystal by Crystal Plasticity Finite Element Method

Based on the rate-dependent crystal plasticity theory, the user material subroutine is embedded into the abaqus / standard, which is able to describe the changes of grain orientation. The crystal plasticity finite element method is used to simulate the aluminum single crystal uniaxial tension and the stress and strain response is analyzed under different tension displacement.
