Slip rotations of crystals undergoing constrained plastic deformation have been interpreted by utilizing the concept of grain boundary disclinations. It was considered that the plastic deformation of crystals is caused by the creation and motion of lattice dislocations and the slip rotations correspond to the creation and motion of grain boundary disclinations. From a general equation for force on disclination loops continuously distributed on a grain boundary defined as a closed surface, a yield criterion for the slip rotations, which defines the state of stress which determines the onset of rotations, was established. This yield criterion was defined by a scalor function that could be expressed in terms of the anti-symmetric parts of stress tensor. Therefore, in the proposed theory it was considered that the finite number of yield surfaces for slip systems and slip rotation were simultaneously activated in nine-dimensional stress space.
By using the proposed yield criterion of rotations, the maximum work procedure of Bishop-Hill was developed for analysis of lattice rotations under constrained deformation. The proposed procedure was applied to calculations of lattice rotations of
fcc metals deformed by axisymmetric flow, employing the computational technique for optimization problems with nonlinear constraints. The computed results were in reasonable agreement with the experimental ones of tension and compression textures of
fcc metals.
