Discrete twin evolution in Mg alloys using a novel crystal plasticity finite element model

(a) Crystal plasticity FE simulation results showing explicit twins: (a) Contours of twin evolution with deformation (elements in red are twinned) and distribution of twin system resolved shear stress (TS-RSS) during twin propagation and thickening in a tricrystalline specimen, and (b) Stress-strain curves from experiments and simulation results for a polycrystalline model.360
