Abstract
In this study, a probabilistic model within the dislotwin constitutive framework of DAMASK (the Düsseldorf Advanced Material Simulation Kit) was established to describe the cyclic loading behaviors of AZ31B magnesium alloys. Considering the detwinning procedure within the twinned region, this newly developed dislocation-twinning-detwinning model was employed to accurately simulate stress-strain behaviors of AZ31B magnesium alloys throughout tension-compression-tension (T-C-T) cycle loading. The investigations revealed that the reduction in yield stress during the reverse loading process was attributed to the active operation of twinning and detwinning modes. Furthermore, the evolution of the twin volume fraction during cycle loading scenarios was quantitatively determined. According to these results, the relative activities of plastic deformation modes during T-C-T loading were further analyzed.
