VPSC
(ViscoPlastic Self-Consistent) Code
The code VPSC code (developed
and maintained by R.A. Lebensohn and C.N Tome) is a multipurpose polycrystal plasticity research code, based on the
knowledge of the mechanisms of slip and twinning that are active in single
crystals of arbitrary symmetry. VPSC can be used to predict the effective
stress-strain response, texture evolution, anisotropy, etc., and it is
presently used as a predictive tool for metallic and geological material
systems, for parameter identification, interpretation of experimental results
and multiscale calculations, in academic and industrial applications, etc., by
numerous research groups worldwide (Presently, the VPSC code distribution list
has more than 120 registered users in Academia, National Laboratories and
Industry).

VPSC formulation and code ...
Full-field
FFT-based Formulation
This formulation (originally developed by P.
Suquet and coworkers as a fast algorithm to compute the linear and nonlinear
response of composites using as input a digital image of their microstructures)
has been adapted by us to treat 3-D polycrystals deforming by dislocation glide. The FFT-based
model provides an exact solution of the governing equations, has better
performance than a Finite Element calculation for the same purpose and
resolution, and can use voxelized microstructure data
as direct input.

FFT-based formulation ...
