Sensitivity Analysis, Identification And Validation Of The Dislocation Density-Based Model For Metallic Materials

Microstructure evolution model based on the differential equation describing evolution of dislocations was proposed. Sensitivity analysis was performed and parameters with the strongest influence on the output of the model were revealed. Identification of the model coefficients was performed for various metallic materials using inverse analysis for experimental data. The model was implemented in the finite element code and simulations of various hot forming processes were performed.
