TI - Modelling of Mesomechanics of Portevin-Le Chatelier Effect by Relaxation Element Method T2 - The International Conference on Computational \& Experimental Engineering and Sciences PY - 2007 VL - 3 IS - 4 SN - 1933-2815 AB - 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. KW - DO - 10.3970/icces.2007.003.243
