This course presents an overview of the current knowledge and most recent developments in modeling the inelastic behavior of metallic materials with applications. We will introduce basic concepts on how to physically describe, mathematically represent, and computationally model the mechanical response for general 3-D loadings. The capabilities of recent single-crystal and engineering scale plasticity models to capture the intrinsic anisotropy associated to any given crystal structure as well as the directionality of the response induced by processing will be addressed. Verification and validation of these new models for a variety of materials, ranging from typical aluminum and steel alloys to hexagonal closed-packed polycrystalline materials (e.g., titanium) and comparison with experimental results will be provided. Offering a well-balanced blend of theory and application and the key concepts necessary to model and solve boundary value problems, the course is self-consistent and accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in both materials science and mechanical engineering as well as to graduate students in applied mathematics.
