Abstract: Two alternative formulations of single crystal plasticity model were introduced respectively and two schemes were implemented in the explicit FE code with software ABAQUS/Explicit by writing the user subroutine VUMAT. Meshes containing material data were created with solid elements. Each element represented an individual grain, and the grain orientations were explicitly stored and updated at each increment. Tangential modulus method was employed to calculate the plastic shear strain increment of deformation systems in combination with a hardening law to describe the hardening responses. Both two developed subroutines were applied to simulate the texture evolution during the uniaxial tension of copper (FCC), cold rolling of IF steel (BCC) and uniaxial compression of AZ31 magnesium alloy (HCP). The predicted texture distributions are in qualitative agreement with the experimental results.
