    Homogenization of 3d Laminated Micro-Structures Including Bending Effects
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Oezdemir, Izzet
    In this paper, a homogenization method which captures intrinsic size effect associated with fiber diameter is revisited and adapted for three-dimensional laminated micro -structures. Based on a unit-cell composed of matrix and reinforcement layers, enhanced deformation gradients varying through the thickness, are introduced with the aid of an additional kinematic variable reflecting the difference between the homogenized and constituent level deformation gradients. In the current work, as opposed to the original formulation, higher order terms are preserved for both phases and therefore bending stiffness of the matrix phase can be taken into account as well. The formulation is implemented within the commercial finite element solver Abaqus through user element (UEL) subroutine considering a finite strain hyperelastic response for the reinforcement layers and a von Mises type hyper-elastoplastic one for the matrix phase. Explicitly discretized unit-cells with varying reinforcement phase fraction, layer inclination angle and layer thicknesses are used as references to assess the predictive capabilities of the homogenized model and the significance of bending stiffness of the phases. Similarly, explicitly discretized model of a beam type structure with a crossed lamellar micro -structure is used to evaluate the performance of the homogenized model under more general, non-periodic boundary conditions. The findings of both cases support the effectiveness of the homogenized model.

    Micromechanical Modeling of Intrinsic and Specimen Size Effects in Microforming
    (Springer Verlag, 2018) Yalçınkaya, Tuncay; Özdemir, İzzet; Simonovski, Igor
    Size effect is a crucial phenomenon in the microforming processes of metallic alloys involving only limited amount of grains. At this scale intrinsic size effect arises due to the size of the grains and the specimen/statistical size effect occurs due to the number of grains where the properties of individual grains become decisive on the mechanical behavior of the material. This paper deals with the micromechanical modeling of the size dependent plastic response of polycrystalline metallic materials at micron scale through a strain gradient crystal plasticity framework. The model is implemented into a Finite Element software as a coupled implicit user element subroutine where the plastic slip and displacement fields are taken as global variables. Uniaxial tensile tests are conducted for microstructures having different number of grains with random orientations in plane strain setting. The influence of the grain size and number on both local and macroscopic behavior of the material is investigated. The attention is focussed on the effect of the grain boundary conditions, deformation rate and the grain size on the mechanical behavior of micron sized specimens. The model is intrinsically capable of capturing both experimentally observed phenomena thanks to the incorporated internal length scale and the crystallographic orientation definition of each grain.
