Determination of deformation regimes for obtaining polycrystalline materials with rational textures by using multilevel inelasticity models.

The work is devoted to functional polycrystalline material design, which is currently an important research field in Material Science. The problem of searching for deformation regimes leading a billet to a product with a rational crystallographic texture is considered. To solve such problems, an approach based on multilevel modeling and statistical crystal elasto-visco-plasticity theories is proposed. In this article, a framework developed for simulating mechanical treatment processes and analyzing textures being formed is presented. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
