A Taylor-type model for large deformation polycrystalline plasticity is formulated and evaluated by comparing the predictions for the evolution of crystallographic texture and the stress-strain response in simple compression and tension, plane strain compression, and simple shear of initially ‘isotropic’ OFHC copper against ( a ) corresponding experiments, and ( b ) finite element simulations of these experiments using a multitude of single crystals with accounting for the satisfaction of both compatibility and equilibrium. Our experiments and calculations show that the Taylor-type model is in reasonable first-order agreement with the experiments for the evolution of texture and the overall stress-strain response of single-phase copper. The results of the finite element calculations are in much better agreement with experiments, but at a substantially higher computational expense.

We experimentally determined the tensile stress–strain response of human muscle along fiber direction and compressive stress–strain response transverse to fiber direction at intermediate strain rates (100–102/s). A hydraulically driven material testing system with a dynamic testing mode was used to perform the tensile and compressive experiments on human muscle tissue. Experiments at quasi-static strain rates (below 100/s) were also conducted to investigate the strain-rate effects over a wider range. The experimental results show that, at intermediate strain rates, both the human muscle's tensile and compressive stress–strain responses are nonlinear and strain-rate sensitive. Human muscle also exhibits a stiffer and stronger tensile mechanical behavior along fiber direction than its compressive mechanical behavior along the direction transverse to fiber direction. An Ogden model with two material constants was adopted to describe the nonlinear tensile and compressive behaviors of human muscle.
