On the modeling of deformation induced anisotropy of pearlitic steel

Other conference contribution, 2009

In this contribution, different types of homogenization methods of a micromechanically based plasticity model for pearlitic steal are investigated. The model takes into account large strains as well as deformation induced anisotropy. The initially randomly oriented cementite lamellas in the pearlitic steel will tend to align with the deformation which causes a development of anisotropy.
