Abstract This paper presents a new numerical algorithm for thermal-mechanical coupled analysis of polycrystalline aggregates based on the plastic slip theory inside crystals and the frictional contact on their interfaces. It involves the mechanics and heat conduction behaviors caused by both force loads and temperature changing within crystal and contact interfaces between crystals. Firstly, the constitutive relationship inside single crystal, and the moment equations and energy equations are derived by means of rate-dependent plastic deformation theory and the formulation of elastic-plastic tangent modulus depended on temperature. Secondly, the contact conditions with friction, including frictional heat generation… More >
