A physically-based formulation for texture evolution during dynamic recrystallization. A case study of ice

Dynamic recrystallization can have a strong impact on texture development during the deformation of polycrystalline materials at high temperatures, particularly for materials with strong viscoplastic anisotropy such as ice. Owing to this anisotropy, recrystallization is essential for ensuring strain compatibility, and the development of textures leads to anisotropic softening. Accurate prediction of the effect of recrystallization on the texture evolution of ice is therefore crucial to adequately account for texture-induced mechanical anisotropy in large-scale models of glacial ice flow. However, this prediction remains a challenge.
