Finite element implementation of a generalised non-local rate-dependent crystallographic formulation for finite strains (Q5935662)

A finite element implementation of the title problem is performed under general anisotropic thermal conditions based on a multiplicative decomposition of deformation gradient and using internal state variables. The proposed non-local computational procedure describes the effect of reinforcing phase characteristics on the macroscopic behaviour of a two-phase single crystal. A comparison between gradient-independent and gradient-dependent macroscopic responses is also presented.
