Weber Department of Civil & Systems Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Materials Science & Engineering, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, USA ∗ sghosh20@jhu.edu Keywords: Parametric Upscaling, RAMPS, Fatigue Crack Nucleation This talk will give an overview of the Parametrically Upscaled Constitutive Model (PUCM) and Parametrically Upscaled Crack Nucleation Model (PUCNM) for Ti alloys [1-6], whose polycrystalline microstructures include micro-texture regions (MTRs). The micromechanics-informed PUCMs differ from conventional phenomenological models in their unambiguous depiction of constitutive parameters and their dependencies. The PUCMs are thermodynamically consistent, macroscopic constitutive models, whose coefficients are explicit functions of Representative Aggregated Microstructural Parameters (RAMPs), representing statistical distributions of morphological and crystallographic descriptors of the microstructure, e.g., texture and grain size distributions. The microstructure-dependent constitutive parameter functions are effective for establishing connections between microstructure and relevant higher-scale material response. They enable computationally efficient simulations with significant speedup over detailed lower-scale models and conventional multi-scale models. Development of the PUCMs requires a comprehensive framework, involving material characterization, micromechanical analysis using calibrated models, identification of characteristic forms of constitutive relations, sensitivity analysis, computational homogenization, machine learning and validation with experimental data. Furthermore, the upscaling platform is coupled with uncertainty quantification (UQ) and propagation. The PUCM/PUCNM tool is used to predict deformation and fatigue crack nucleation in aerospace structures under monotonic and cyclic loading conditions. References [1] S. Kotha, D. Ozturk, and S.
