Abstract
Two methods for the determination of geometrically necessary dislocation (GND) densities are implemented in a lower-order strain-gradient crystal plasticity finite element model. The equations are implemented in user material (UMAT) subroutines. Method I has a direct and unique solution for the density of GNDs, while Method II has unlimited solutions, where an optimization technique is used to determine GND densities. The performance of each method for capturing the formation of slip bands based on the calculated GND maps is critically analyzed. First, the model parameters are identified using single crystal simulations. This is followed by importing the as-measured microstructure for a deformed α-zirconium specimen into the finite element solver to compare the numerical results obtained from the models to those measured experimentally using the high angular resolution electron backscatter diffraction technique. It is shown that both methods are capable of modeling the formation of slip bands that are parallel to those observed experimentally. Formation of such bands is observed in both GND maps and plastic shear strain maps without pre-determining the slip band domain. Further, there is a negligible difference between the calculated grain-scale stresses and elastic lattice rotations from the two methods, where the modeling results are close to the measured ones. However, the magnitudes and distributions of calculated GND densities from the two methods are very different.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
