Abstract
Traditional mathematical models for deformation processes usually assume material behavior independent of thermomechanical history. Their primary concern is the relationship of deformation forces to changes in geometry. This paper describes a more complete approach called microstructure-based modeling. The material behavior is assumed to relate to a small number of history-dependent parameters representing the most significant aspects of microstructure. The models are concerned not only with changes in geometry, but also with changes in product properties resulting from the changes in microstructure. Thus, the total approach involves the union of solid mechanics and materials science to provide a quantitative basis for the design of deformation processes to achieve controlled properties as well as shapes.
