On deformation twinning in polycrystalline FCC metals

This paper aims to collect together the new insights we have obtained recently into the phenomenon of deformation twinning in polycrystalline face centered cubic (FCC) metals. Specifically, the goal of our research is to understand how deformation twinning influences the material constitutive behavior, and in turn, the various aspects of the microstructure evolution. Simultaneously, we have also attempted to identify the roles of various external and internal factors in controlling or promoting the occurrence of deformation twins in this class of materials.
