In general, different fluxes
will result in
the different constituents. The flux and driving force at the material
point are calculated as the average of all constituents:

5. Single constituent kinematics
The intermediate C
ONSTITUENT LEVEL connects the PARTITIONING and
H
OMOGENIZATION and the CONSTITUTIVE LEVEL defined according to the
hierarchical structure of DAMASK (Section 2.2). An abstract procedure
is established at this level to encapsulate all model-specific aspects in
the constitutive descriptions (Section 6).
The purpose of this level is therefore twofold: (i) to consistently
decompose the partitioned deformation gradient based on multiple
deformation sources and (ii) to integrate the internal state of the un-
derlying constitutive laws for fluxes and sources over time. As outcome,
the stress and its tangent with respect to the deformation gradient are
provided to the P
ARTITIONING and HOMOGENIZATION level.
5.1. Multiplicative decomposition
The decomposition of the partitioned deformation gradient F is re-
quired to determine the stress response P.
9
The physical motivation for
this partitioning is a clear distinction between different deformation
modes: Elastic deformation, resulting from stretching of atomic bonds,
plastic deformation, resulting from, for instance, dislocation motion,
and lastly eigenstrains, arising in connection with, for instance, da-
mage, phase transformations, or changes in temperature fields.
In the finite strain framework of DAMASK, the multiplicative de-
composition of the deformation gradient F reads as
is a lattice-preserving, inelastic deformation gradient that
maps to the plastic configuration,
is a lattice-distorting, inelastic
deformation gradient, e.g. thermal expansion or crack opening [123],
mapping further to the eigenstrain configuration, and
is an elastic
deformation gradient that maps from the inelastic to the deformed
configuration. This decomposition is schematically shown in Fig. 4.
The specific order in Eq. (45) allows to conveniently account for
anisotropy, i.e. dependence on crystallographic orientation, of the
constitutive laws in the isoclinic plastic configuration. To avoid un-
necessary rotations of tensorial quantities naturally defined in the lat-
tice coordinate frame,

such that the plastic configuration of
each crystal corresponds to a common cube orientation [65]. The cur-
rent crystallographic orientation O can then always be calculated from
through a polar decomposition
, where U is the right stretch
tensor.
5.2. Time integration
The constitutive laws for inelastic deformation, i.e. the flow rules,
are formulated in rate form.
10
This requires time integration of
kinematic quantities from
. In addition, for flow rules
depending on an internal material state, this time integration has to be
performed consistently with the evolving state.
5.2.1. Inelastic flow relations
The evolution of the inelastic deformation gradients
is
given in terms of their respective velocity gradients
by the
following flow rules
(46b)
The inelastic velocity gradients are additively composed from in-
dividual contributions (indexed by n) and are driven by their work
conjugate stress measures, i.e. the M
ANDEL stresses
ANDEL stresses
are calculated from the second
P
IOLA–KIRCHHOFF stress
(see Appendix C), which is determined by an
elastic constitutive law (Section 6.1) that expresses S as a function of its
work conjugate, the G

The partitioned quantities
are, for brevity, referred to as F and P
in what follows.

In this setting, rate-independent models are expressed as the kinetic limit of
the corresponding rate-dependent model.
