the Lankford coefficients, the R-values, of a sheet from its orientations or its ODF

Syntax

R, M, minM = calcLankford(ori, sS)

R at 0, 5, …, 90 degree to the rolling direction.

R, M, minM = calcLankford(ori, sS, theta, weights=w)

Weighted orientations, chosen angles.

R, M, minM = calcLankford(odf, sS, rho=np.linspace(0, 1, 21))

From an ODF, a finer ratio.

Description

The R-value is the ratio of the true width strain to the true thickness strain of a strip pulled at the angle theta to the rolling direction. For every theta the strip is strained along the pull and contracts by the fraction rho across it and 1 - rho through the thickness; the Taylor model gives the normalised plastic work M of every rho, averaged over the texture, and the strip takes the rho of least work, R = rho / (1 - rho).

The mean Rbar of R over the directions tells how well a sheet resists thinning, Rbar >= 1 favouring deep drawing; the planar anisotropy deltaR indicates the fourfold earing of a cup.

The angles theta may also be given as a positional array after sS, as MATLAB.

Input

x orientation, the crystal orientations of the sheet, or SO3Fun, its ODF
sS slipSystem, or a TaylorModel, the systems the crystals deform by

Keywords

keyword default description
theta None the angles of the pull to the rolling direction in radians
rho None the fractions of the contraction across the strip, between 0 and 1
RD None vector3d, the rolling direction, the pull at theta = 0
ND None vector3d, the normal of the sheet, orthogonal to RD
weights None the weights of the orientations, the area of grains for instance
bandwidth 16 the harmonic bandwidth the Taylor factor and the ODF are expanded to (an ODF)

Output

R the Lankford coefficient at the least plastic work, one per theta
M the normalised plastic work, an array of rho by theta
minM the least normalised plastic work, one per theta
