On the modeling of deformation induced anisotropy of pearlitic steel

Other conference contribution, 2010

A micromechanically based plasticity model for modeling of anisotropy in pearlitic steel is investigated. The model was proposed in Johansson and Ekh~[1] and takes into account large strains as well as deformation induced anisotropy. The initially randomly oriented cementite lamellae in the pearlitic steel will tend to align with the deformation which causes a development of anisotropy.
