TarletonGroup/CrystalPlasticity ★ 319 103 APPLICATION

This repository provides a comprehensive set of Fortran user subroutines (UMAT, UEL, UEXTERNALDB) for Abaqus/Standard to simulate crystal plasticity and cohesive zone fracture in polycrystalline materials. Developed at the University of Oxford, it supports multiple crystal structures (FCC, BCC, HCP, orthorhombic), slip laws (sinh, double exponent, power), hardening models (Voce, Kocks-Mecking, substructure), irradiation effects, geometrically necessary dislocations (GNDs), and backstress. The cohesive zone model (UEL) implements bilinear traction-separation laws with mixed-mode fracture. Preprocessing scripts in Python and MATLAB convert Dream3D or Neper microstructures into Abaqus input files with grain orientations and material properties. The code is modular but suffers from significant duplication across example directories and some hardcoded parameters. It is actively maintained with a detailed changelog up to v3.4 (August 2026). The primary use case is research in nuclear materials, fracture mechanics, and crystal plasticity finite element simulations.
