Abstract
Quantitative comparisons of experimental measurements and model predictions are crucial to validate and improve material models as well as to understand underlying physical phenomena. In this work, we used a recently developed in situ technique combining high resolution digital image correlation (HR-DIC) and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to obtain intergranular surface strain fields and crystal rotations. These measurements were compared to predictions from a crystal plasticity-finite element method (CP-FEM) simulation. To accurately reproduce the initial grain morphology in the CP-FEM simulation without assumptions regarding the sub-surface microstructure, a coarse columnar-grained tantalum specimen was used. Experimental data was projected onto the finite element mesh to compare measured and simulated data on a point-wise basis. It is shown that model predictions of both surface strain fields and crystal rotations agree reasonably well with HR-DIC and EBSD measurements at various applied strains. This procedure provides an objective and quantitative methodology to evaluate the model-experiment agreement and allows for testing of various model parameters to improve the model.
