Abstract

Predictions of the mechanical response of nanocrystalline metals and underlying microstructure evolution and deformation mechanisms are critically important for the manufacturing and design of new advanced structural metals that aim to outperform those in use today. In this chapter, recent advancements in modeling processing-microstructure-property relationships of nanocrystalline metals are covered. These developments include linking mesoscopic microstructure, such as grain (orientation, size, and shape), grain boundaries, twin boundaries, and interface properties with the development of local stress states and deformation mechanisms during mechanical processing or straining. Many recent examples of these techniques are discussed, particularly those demonstrating unanticipated couplings between size effects and texture development. The chapter concludes with a discussion of recommended directions and associated challenges to further advance mesoscale modeling efforts.
