Modeling the deformation textures and microstructural evolutions of a Fe-Mn-C TWIP steel during tensile and shear testing

► A micromechanical model is proposed to simulate the behavior of high Mn TWIP steel. ► Microstructure and texture evolutions during deformation are simulated by the model. ► Taylor and translated field homogenization schemes are used for the simulations. ► Tensile and shear deformations are simulated with good agreement with experiments. ► SEM-EBSD, TEM and texture measurements are used to support the model predictions.
