Abstract

The anisotropy for the mechanical properties of Zr was revisited using the developed modeling approach based on the physical constraints of the hexagonal close-packed lattice structure. The current approach successfully reproduced the anisotropy for the mechanical properties depending on the cold-rolling directions. It is suggested that the reversing behavior of the tensile strength and the yield strength with respect to the rolling and transverse directions is highly correlated with the structural characteristics of the hexagonal close-packed lattice.
