| Abstract | The results of 2D simulation of strain localizations on the meso-level in the surface layer of a polycrystal with a highly pronounced Portevin Le Chatelier (PLC) effect are presented. For such a purpose the Relaxation Element Method (REM) has been used. A fundamental property of solid "plastic deformation is accompanied by stress relaxation in local volumes of a loaded solid" lies on the basis of this method. The elaborated REM model operates on the principle of cellular automata. The results are in good qualitative agreement with known experimental data. |
