--- layout: post title: Spectral Crystal Plasticity Database for Hexagonal Lattice Systems author: Dipen Patel, Noah Paulson latex: true --- ## Problem Statement * Generate spectral crystal plasticity database for hexagonal materials * Locate and modify crystal plasticity codes for different input parameters * Selected slip and twin families * c/a ratio ?? * Validate the crystal plasticity codes with existing results in literature or from our group * Generate and validate the database against FEM simulations * Integrate with FEM ## Questions * Building Crystal Plasticity for Hexagonal Systems * What are the minimum number of parameters requried to capture the deformation of the generic hexagonal lattice? * How does the c/a ratio relate to the slip acitivity? * In which alloys does twinning play an important role?
