Polycrystalline modeling of fcc materials under changes in strain path
Mon, Nov 28, 2005 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Sonny Astani Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker:Irene Beyerlein
Theoretical Division, Los Alamos National Laboratory
Los Alamos, NM 87545, USAAbstractStudies show that when the load path is changed, the stress-strain behavior of a polycrystalline metal highly depends on the texture (the distribution of crystallographic orientations of the crystals) and microstructures that developed during the pre-straining. Particularly when the pre-strains are large, texture and microstructural evolution within individual crystals become heterogeneous, potentially inducing noticeable changes in the macroscopic flow response when the direction of loading is changed. At Los Alamos, we are developing a constitutive model for fcc materials under strain path changes, including reversals of the applied load (leading to a drop in yield stress, the so-called Bauschinger effect) and straining in directions normal to the pre-strain (leading to an increase in yield stress, a cross-effect). The model accounts for both texture evolution and several microscale mechanisms responsible for the possible directional anisotropy in the single crystals. These mechanisms include the formation of dislocation microstructures preferentially on slip planes, localized destruction of such microstructures generated by channeling dislocations activated in subsequent strain paths, and the release of polar dislocations when slip is locally reversed. We apply this model to predict the response under Bauschinger tests, in which the direction of axial loading is reversed. As a more complex example, we also apply our model to predict the subsequent flow stress in pure copper processed by equal channel angular extrusion (ECAE), a process which imposes severe plastic shear strains.Location: Kaprielian Hall (KAP) - 203

Measuring knowledge work and knowledge worker productivity
Mon, Nov 28, 2005 @ 04:00 PM - 05:00 PM

University of Wisconsin-Madison ABSTRACT This research uses industrial engineering techniques to create applications
for the measurement of knowledge work and knowledge worker
productivity. This particular project identifies different groups of knowledge
workers by using a framework that assigns knowledge worker scores
(KWS). Using industrial engineering tools to create a dependent variable
that describes the knowledge worker and that allows us to differentiate
between them is the key to enable scientific research in the field, creating
endless opportunities to explore how the type of knowledge worker
correlates different independent variables. Scientific knowledge on
knowledge worker could save companies millions of dollars in terms of
training, increased productivity, and effective recruitment and retaining for
example.Location: Ethel Percy Andrus Gerontology Center (GER) - 309
