Abstract
With the technology advancement, crystal plasticity finite element modeling becomes more and more popular in the simulation of metal forming process. In order to obtain a better understanding of the difference between the Taylor model and finite element model during the simulation of metal forming process, an implicit time-integration procedure with the two polycrystal models is applied in the commercial finite element code ABAQUS to simulate the plane strain compression separately. FCC metal is used in this study. The simulation shows that the two polycrystal models both can predict the compression process approximately. The two modelling results of surface roughness show an agreement with that of the experimental results. However, the side profile calculated by the Taylor polycrystal model is much steeper and straighter than that of finite element polycrystal model. The experimental surface roughness curve shows a high frequency fluctuation. It is much steeper than those of the two models. The simulation results also show that the von Mises stress from the Taylor model is much higher than that of the finite element model.
