Abstract

In this paper, we propose a generalized variant of Kröner's self-consistent scheme for evaluation of the effective standard and gradient elastic moduli of polycrystalline materials within Mindlin-Toupin second-gradient elasticity theory. Assuming random orientation of crystallites (grains) we use an extended Eshelby's equivalent inclusion method and mapping conditions between the prescribed linear distribution of macro-strain and corresponding micro-scale field variables averaged over the volume and all possible orientations of single grain. It is found that developed self-consistent scheme predicts the absence of strong gradient effects at the macro-scale level for the model of spherical grains. However, for the more general shape of the grains, considered approach allows to obtain a set of non-linear relations for determination of all effective standard and gradient elastic moduli of polycrystals.
