Abstract
This work presents a novel phenomenological constitutive model intended to predict quasi-static stress-strain response in metal plasticity, from coarse-grained to nanocrystalline materials. To this end, a modified Voce hardening law is proposed, in which the initial yield stress and the saturation hardening parameters depend on the initial grain size. The constitutive model is adjusted considering experimental data available in literature for pure aluminum, copper and titanium. Comparisons with experimental data show the constitutive model capabilities, which in general provide good predictions for the three materials within wide strain and grain size ranges. The proposed model proved to be a simple and powerful constitutive tool for engineering and material design purposes.
